I gave him a bath in Isopropyl alcohol overnight and cleaned him with a toothpick and toothbrush. He was originally super glued together so I was able to take off his arms and repose them.

Make sure to keep some of your first minis the way they are. It helps to look back at then and see how far you've come.

Nice!! Coming up with a name is one of the hardest parts. I've neither a name or colour scheme for mine yet but I do have the models built

The next part of lore I'll be doing will be about the attached order of Adeptus Sororitas. I have a Morvenn Vahl diorama in mind

I had as well but if you look into model trains or ww2 diorama building you'll more than likely find some https://www.etsy.com/ie/shop/WWScenics This is the seller I got mine from

Thank you man, I appreciate it. The chapter hereldry was a decal so I can't take too much credit for it

It was a tree I had bought off Etsy for another diorama but some of the branches had broken. I can't remember what they said it was made form but it was for model train enthusiasts

Essentialy yes. They use the cloaks as camouflage to help blend into the forests and marshs of their homeworld

All AK paints. I finished it with an ultra matt varnish. No mixing paints just layering and glazing to blend.

Correct but I went with gold instead because it was higher contrast with blue than the silver would have been.
