dipping marines , first atempts

so realy I like converting, and I like playing , pinting is just something that is stuck in the middle.
so i thought i would try this dipping thing out , to see how it works.
i did 4 up , but did not like the other 2 turned out.
on the other hand i am prety pleased the way theese turned out.
both theese models took like 10 mins to paint.
i am leaning towards the grren one , but was thinking a diferent color shoulder pads, mabye yellow?
tell me what you think , any advice on color would be much wanted.

It is a hard decision but i would try blazing orange on the green ones . i also got an idea for a chapter the white templars based on the nights during the crusades. They would be space marines with a red cross

so what if i did it kinda like this?
i ms painted realy badly to help ( i think ).

so the head , trim on the pads ,the emblem on the chest and gun , and the hands all yellow?

I'd have to see that first, but I think that may be overdoing it with the yellow/orange. I do like the idea of making the shoulder pads proper (not simply the trim) a more dynamic color like yellow or orange (What's the mood of the army? Assaulty, shooty, cover hugging, etc.?). I also liked Rob's suggestion regarding different colored helmet, although I think a color other than yellow/orange or green might further complement the color scheme (Or at least for the vet sarge's, and I was thinking along Rob's lines too, probably white would seem most appropriate). I think also changing the hands and the chest crest might overwhelm the coolness of that particular shade of green you chose. But yeah, to summarize I like the green one better, I'd suggest orange/yellow on the shoulder pads, and I like Rob's idea of a different color helmet. Of course this is all contigent on seeing what the finished product looks like again. Cheers.

If you did the yellow I think you would have to do it before you dipped it.
