Ultramarines test model

So I have been on an Ultramarines buzz last few days as I want an allied Space Marine chapter for my Cult Mech, and I have always meant to do some smurfs.

I tried painting a test model using the same method used for the Cult Mech, and using the same green lenses etc and the same red to tie them in with the allied force. The model is up to the same point as the Cult mech, pre-transfers/weathering.

I'm not 100% sold on it, I love the blue, just not sure about using the chipped armour method, or as Aaron calls it "The Method". Hopefully the weathering brings it home.
