Heres a wip i'm working on...!!

Nice... But I do think the handle hand looks wrong, it would look better the other way up, also from a rl perspective all the weight would be supported by his thumb, rather then cradled in his whole hand. That is my only critism though, good job

I've done a similar thing and I think it looks great.

Feel free to ignore me:

With the position of the fingers on his right hand, I'd suggest to cut it and reattach it, palm up for a better effect.

Thanks for the suggestions guys....

i have to agree with the people above!
the hand with the palm up would look better...

also, concerning his pose, it looks a bit unnatural...
shooting a little bit in an angle forward would A) look like a more natural pose for the body to hold and properly use a gun like that and B) you wont have to have his head in such an angle so it looks he broke his neck in 3 places.

paintjob is pretty pro though!

yeah but heres what I thought would look cool despite requiringan ungodly amout of greenstuff but the handle sidewaze like all of the DE heavy weapons it looks cool and fits that minigun

How'd ya do it?

Here's where the inspiration came from .. as you cane see the weapons handle is not held from under neath as the weapon would rise when fired

Great paint job. I agree with the guys that you should turn his left hand around, but you would also have to lower the weapon if you do that, since it would look weird like he is holding it up by his chest instead of down by his hips. If you wanted to leave it like it is, just change the hand so its a fist like the right hand, then it would be like the photo you got your inspiration from. Otherwise I like the pose, the head looks good, and I like that helmet, going to have to find some of those if I can.

The big difference between the model and the source image is the hand. In the image its a closed fist, on the model its an open palm that wouldn't give the same kind of stability to the weapon (even in power armour ). I think thats where the comments are really coming from.

Also where is the image from. All they've done is fit a rotating collar around a .30 cal MG They haven't even tried to make the rotating barrels work properly...

It's from "Doom - the movie" (the extra material).

Kinda sad I know this.
