I was recently going through some of my old boxes and found my Space Marine army. Haven't played in over 10 years, but as soon as I saw the minis I got hooked again :)

I painted Rhinos back in the days

and scouts + Assault squad

I painted these in the last 3 weeks

I'm working on the bases, unfortunately I've used an old GW Purity Seal in the process and it muted the colours a bit. Models look a bit dusty.

Land Speeders are next.

Nice and sharp, even with the old varnish. Well done highlighting there!

Too nice to be sat in a draw for 10 years that's for sure! Love the highlights, can you give any advice on how to achieve that effect?

Fabulous painting you've even managed to make those old plastic bikes look good well done.

Thanks for the thumbs up everyone …

I'm not sure how to give advice on highlighting, might sound a bit weird … I think it's all about the brush strokes (angle) and the colour. I use Vallejo Model colours and mix white with water - around 40:60 (or 50:50 - you have to find the right density, not too thick and not too thin). The rest is in finding a good angle for your brush, that’s about it :)

The vehicles only have three layers – very dark mixture of black&Turquoise then Turquoise and white highlights. Works well on such a small scale models.

EDIT: and a tip for a brush - don't use a tip
