Hey there,
So I had thos black reach terminators and wanted to make them more wolfy, here's my attempt.

Bare with the bad picture quality, hopefully I'll get a new camera for Christmas .

(first two pictures)
So this was the captain, Icut out the head and trimmed it up to fit a space wolves head in,
made a wolf pelt for the shoulder pad and belt along with a custom storm sheild to resemble Ragnars
company marking. I tryed using a wet blend technique on the wolf pelt and feel pleased witht he outcome.

(next two pictures)
This one here I added a banner and another wolf pelt on the belt. The skull on the pw was also handmade.

Last picture)
Another example of a head swap. I also added wolf claws and a wolf pelt to the back.

I hope to get more pics up soon of them all painted and based.
If you're wondering I only used miliput (stadard yellow-grey) and greenstuff.
comments greatly appreciated thank you.

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

To get better images light the models better (say with a lamp), hold them further from the camera, and place them on a solid surface (to limit relative movement to the camera).

I would also suggest placing the camera on a solid surface too in order to limit camera movement.

Hope these suggestions help you get some clearer shots

Very true. I had to use a built in webcam to take pictures of models at one point.

Do you have any boxes/books/etc that you can use to build up a platform to the level of the camera?

The best bet is to take the laptop over to a window, build your tower on the window sil and use the natural light to illuminate your model (assuming that it is light where you are anyway...).

No problem

And most webcams work pretty well so long as you light the subject well enough. Natural sunlight is usually the best source.

Looking good - I would cut away a bit of the back of the terminator and redo the pelt.

Not sure why but it looks a little odd to me?
