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!

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.
