This guy came in the RTB09 box set. He’s the Captain with Storm Bolter, Powerglove with Grenade Launcher and Force Sword.
He needs some mold lines/flashing removed and perhaps stripping – will depend on what he looks like when his arms come off. More to come…
This Space Marine with Flamer was part number 0819/4 and the catalogues from that time state that the minis on the page shown were designed by Jes Goodwin and Normal Swales – which did which mini I don’t know.
The paint scheme here was obviously inspired by – but not totally faithful to – the 2nd. Edition Ultramarines brightness.
This was my first outing with the Scale75 Artist paints for a Space Marine and they were not thinned quite enough!
Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
Base coat: Scale75 Artist Light Ultramarine blended to Cobalt Blue, highlight Primary Blue
Bone: Art White followed by Off White
Yellow: Light Skin followed by Intense Yellow. Wash of Instant Full Healing. Highlight of Primary Yellow.

Silver: Black Metal followed by Heavy Metal, highlight Speed Metal, wash Instant Shadow Black
Kneecap: Light Skin followed by Art White, shade of Instant Paralyze Blue
Eagle: Necro Gold, wash of Instant Arcane Purple, highlight Dwarven Gold, highlight Citrine Alchemy
This took me about an hour as a colour test for painting Ultramarines using the Scale 75 Artist paints. I really like the vibrancy you can get out of the colours and while it’s far from my neatest paint job I really like the overall effect.

These Servitors are designed by Jes Goodwin. This is the guy with the left-arm claw 072000/2 – one of two in the 8048D blister (the other is 072000/1, which I don’t have pics of just now – numbers from the 1992/1993 catalogue):
Marked as 1992. They also came with the Rapier cannon (8048A) and the Tarantula cannon (8048C). The other guy in the same blister:

Love the bell bottoms. Looks a bit like 1986 but I suspect it’s a badly stamped 1988.
