More details!
I found in my WH40k bit-box nice resin ultramarine aquila that fit the leg beautifully! Some other plastic details added here and there – looks good! Next, trims went on for torso and leg parts. Ultramarine badass

Ultramarine shoulder pads
Space Marines iconic shoulder armor needed some more details and relief iconography. There are a lot of custom 3D printed upgrades for MCFarlane primaris figures – none was fitting my vision and plan… decided to go and build some from pla-plates and pla profiles – thank you GreenStuffWorld 🙂 I started with plain Ultramarines Icon,…
MCFarlane toys – Primaris Ultramarine project!
Emperor protects – Oh yes!!! I’m with Warhammer40k from 2nd edition (1993)… Never played a board-game, never had an army, I am just fan of wh40k artworks, books and general lore. Of course, I’m painting miniatures – mostly Spacemarines and Chaos forces – I love this grim and dark universe – just love it! It…
Little Saz Build completed!
I added a bit of dirt on a base 🙂 Enamel Wash from Modeller’s World did the job. After removing wash residues and cleaning empty areas with AK White Spirit. The Base is finalized! Lookslike old dirty, landing pad – I like it! Going back to Sazabi – I used rest of photoetched details –…
The Base continues
After initial weathering, I applied UX100 from MrHobby and added some decals. Platform no 05 – why not? Then decals were sealed with same gloss varnish andAK XtremeMetal was used to paint pipes etc. Next step – washes and additional weathering!
Funnels!
For funnels I went with different shade of Glossy/Candy Red, to add additional eyecatchers 🙂 I see a lot of Sazabis with same color everywhere – time to break the rules 🙂 This time I went with Tamiya laquers only. Silver as basecoat was applied then Clear Red from LP range. Then decals were applied.…
Sazabi’s base painting started
I’m planning to put little Saz on an old platform – for a contrast between glossy mech and used/worn deck of landing pad.I will use ActionBase1 and some dedicated photetched parts from MadWorks. Base after Tamiya Surface Primer applied – its soo cool to look at primed parts – looking like 3D rendering… After primer…
Glosssy! – clear varnish applied
Parts were disassembled (again) and prepared for clear cote application. MrHobby GX100 applied – damn I love this one! Colors and smooth surface looks even better after clear gloss!
Decals frenzy
After few water-decals sessions I finished ”by the book” markings. With those tiny symbols Sazabi started to look like a real thing! Anyhow I wasnt fully satisfied… I NEED MORE!!! :), started with fuel containers detailing… unfortunately one of gold fragile decals was damaged… I removed it with moistered tootpick, very gently to not damage…
Decal work started
I chose “realgrade” version for decals with some additonal custom golden logos etc. Started with shield by the book. DL Model decals are marked same as original RealGrade – so instruction is very helpful. Decals are easy to apply and they’re reacting well to MicroSol that I’m using. Other thing is gold emblems from Infinity…
