Deathwatch Veteran of the Vultures Chapter.

Well...first completed mini in...years. Many years. Lots of work to do yet to continue rebuilding skill sets but the ground work is there.

Leather work is done. Probably could have gone with one more set of scratches in a lighter color to help show the wear and tear but this will do.

Arm metallics nearly done. Tad more on the bolter as well.

I've got to work on the camera side of things. The photography isn't helping me right now.

More to come tomorrow.

Zero progress on anything yesterday.

For the Deathwatch mini today, I finished the stone work, base layer on the skulls and started in on the blue silver of the Deathwatch arm.
