Space Marine Librarian

Painting is one of my favorite things about war game figure...  so I wanted to try my hand at painting one of the new resin Finecast figures from GW.   Another fellow had a tight money jam, and sold me this figure primed and assembled.... so after looking at it on my shelf for a few weeks, I decided tonight was the time to paint this guy up.  Finecast resin seems to have a ton of detail, but with that fine detail also comes minor problems like pits in the resin, and "short stems" (under poured or non-formed detail) areas.  This fellow suffered only from a thin loin cloth, which I easily remedied with a little of the new (and WONDERFUL) GW "liquid green stuff in a bottle.

 I did most of the work with the guidance of an image from GW's stock photos, but I didn;t like the green inner lining of the loin cloth, so I went with a white on grey, and outlined a design in Scarlet Red (Gore Red). 
So here he is... what do you think?
