Salamanders Predator

Hello everybody,

After enjoying a relaxing vacation and a return to work with a lot of pressure, I had very limited time to finish all my projects this summer. Add to that a problem with my computer that no longer saved my photos and publications became scarce. And yet, I still managed to finish a few nice miniatures. The one that I present to you today is definitely one of my older pieces. I painted it very approximately at the time, first with the Ultramarines colour scheme and then in a Salamanders green, and it needed a big makeover. So I started, like I did with all my space marines, to fully repaint it. After a bath of Bendix for plastic and acetone for metal parts, I had to rebuild everything back in good order, contrary to what I'd done 15 years ago. I then took advantage of a free afternoon to begin the airbrush work starting with my now sacrosanct flames. The problem with repainting old minis is that the work is much longer because everything is already glue and masking work becomes essential. After carefully masking the panel, I then started with the hard work that finally took me little time. And here is the final work:
