Not a chance, the new one is over twice the height of this fella

Another update on the Avatar, been working on a base for him as well.
Time permitting I would love to.
It's one of the reasons I take so ling to paint anything, there is something like six thin coats of white paint on them all.
Cheers. The Bezerkers are going to be part of an Emperors Children warband so I wanted them to have more colour than just red.
Thanks. I modelled it in blender and was trying to mash up the old epicast model and the original rhino kit
Lovely job, well done
Cheers, still work to do smoothing out that gradient though.
Before answering your questions I'd just like to say that you are off to a great start. The figure in the main picture has a good movement to it and feels like a natural pose.

If you don't already keep a bits box. This should be where you keep spare parts from sprues or that you have cut off any models you have been kit bashing. I also chuck in things that might be useful that would otherwise end up in the bin, wire, mesh, tubes, scraps of plastic packaging that can be repurposed, just whatever you think might be useful.

I use unscented Dettol. Leave plastic or metal in it overnight and use some fresh Dettol and a toothbrush to clean them up. Just be sure to put plenty of paper down underneath as the paint gunk dries and can pretty much only be cleaned up by scrubbing it with more Dettol.

Looking at your other comments I would also recommend the Howling Griffons, but if you have a colour scheme that you think would look cool just use that and make yourself a nice successor chapter. Personally one of the things I have always enjoyed about 40k is being able to make up your own lore.
One last piece of advice if you plan to do more sculpting with putty. Try getting your hands on some greenstuff, it is my modelling putty of choice and gives the best finished product in my opinion.
Been (slowly) working on an old Avatar of Khaine
I like them, but I'm not too fussy about my paints. Some of the colours come out really nice an vibrant, the red and turquoise on this model are both Coat De Arms.
They are a lot like the citadel paints from the late 80s, although I'm not sure that is a good thing for most folks. Compared to modern paint they are quite thin and need at least two (often more) coast to get decent coverage.
I should be up for that, I've really been getting into the swing of things with my painting recently.
