Hey, So lately I've been creating a new miniature (Out of scratch) and I will also be making a mold of it and creating more. The model is going to be my "Crisis suit" for my not tau, tau army [I'm making a skinnies army out of the Tau codex. The idea came when I bot the "Starship troopers miniature game Skinnies army book". I was wanting to make the Skinnie Venerable Marauder so it would be the size of a crisis suit and would count as one. Somewhere along the road I was looking at the Crisis suit art from the 1st [I believe the first] Tau Codex and combined the two, I started to think and think about other Mechs in science fiction and other games and started drawing things. I also have been creating it for a while [I'm taking my time because I want it to be perfect]. The Drawing came out like this:

P.S. I will be posting pictures of my progress so far a bit later, Hope you guys like it. C & C welcome.

[I'm not sure whats going on with the picture (PLEASE HELP )]

Hope that helps! Good luck on your sculpting!

Cheers,

Thanks Rawson, I will hopefully updating pictures up today. Most of what I'm doing is; Greenstuff, wait til it dries [arg... it takes so long], repeat. But i will try and work on the lower legs. So far I have the basic guy done, the back [not including the backpack with the ammo], and the upper legs still have a bit to be done [just filling in gaps]. What I need to get done are; the lower legs, the feet, the backpack, the weapons, the arms, and some touch ups [argg.... most of its green stuff work] Wish me luck.

Hey guys. Well here are some pictures of what I have done so far [Camera Phone]. Hope you like it. C&C welcome











Yay. It worked

Hey guys, So lately I've been thinking about another race that I will be making (After this project) that are basicly parasites that grab onto technology and anything metal really. When I was thinking about them today I wrote a short-story about the first sitting between the parasite and the human race. Hope you guys like it:

FIRST SITTING

It was a cold, dark night. Lightning flashing in the distance. Two men were on watch detail "Uh, whats that smell." John said.
"Look! Up north!" Johns friend Tim shouted over the sound of the wind. North of their position were three - what seemed to be - men. The men wore long coats of some kind with a hood, they almost blended into the night, their coats blowing in the wind.
"Think we should check it out?" John asked
"Yeah, get Roth and have him stand watch for us."
A few minutes later john came out with Roth and John and Tim whent to check out the men to the north. The men wore some sort of metal boots and a mask, the style of it was of nothing John had ever seen before. John and his friend approached cautiously.
"Hey, who are you?" John asked holding an arm over his face to block the hard wind. Just then the man looked at him and slowly lifted a clawed metal hand to his face. With a swift motion it took off its mask. It was far from human, nothing John nor Tim had ever seen before. It's Mouth, full of razor sharp teeth, opened up and a lout screach filled the air. Before John knew it he was on the ground the thing ontop of him, quick to rip out his throat. In his last minutes of life John saw his close friend ripped apart. The smell of death filled the air and the night went quiet again.

Hey guys, its been a while since I posted on here. Im almost done with my mech but there are a few things that still need to get done. I still need to figure out how to make the feet [its really annoying I cant figure out anything, please help]. and I need to cover up the aliens legs with armour. other than that I am basicly done and then I have to cast an mold it. Oh, I also have a few more weapons to make Like a rocket launcher and some other ones. I remade the alien body so that he has no arms now [My thought is that they get they're arms cut off so the mechs arms can connect to his/her nervous system]. I'll explain the pics as they come:


This is the model so far. the weapons are on the right of the image. I love how its turning out so far and cant wait to be finished and make MORE XD


The mech arms, Like the alien race, the Mech only has two fingers and my thought on where a thumb would be is under the where the tips of the fingers are, So that when they need to hold something they lift their fingers and a thumb comes out to grasp the object [most likely a sword]


he back pack [really dont know what else to call it.] I cut the cussion off of it an placed a peace of plastic card on


The back of the legs. I desided that the other lower legs I made were WAY to big for my mech so I cut it off and made the lower legs out of plastic card. I think it came out pretty good


The alien body, The chest is now covered by a large metal chest plate because the way I originally had it he would easily be killed.


The head of my alien.


The jet pack to my mech. I liked the idea of the crisis suits having jet packs so I desided to give my mech one as well


My count as Fussion Blaster [I want to be able to use this as a crisis suit. Im running a Farsight army]


Unlike the Tau my race [yet to have a name] Likes the Idea of combat and believe in beautiful deaths. They are also a Fascist race instead of communist.
C & C welcome.
