| The Catachan Sniper is a VERY cool model... I would make the mesh a separate item. It would be a shame to loose the details on such a wonderful model.
The Kroot Sniper is very original. Is he coming out of the water? Nice! | |

| Both models are excellent, the posing on the kroot particularly is superb. From experience - definitely paint the model underneath first (Is there a way of make the mesh removable - it might need to be 'solid' to achieve that?). Have you thought about adding any plant material to the mesh?
An alternative to making it removable is leaving gaps in the mesh to show off the interesting bits of kit underneath - realistic on a 28mm model doesn't always translate into reality - when it scales up.
Good Stuff

| Indeed! Well done  I allways find that on stuff like this it pays to paint the parts first and then put it together  dwi | |
