hey i just had a look at your shown link and it stated that you didn´t sell the model... maybe you should put it on swapshop? give it another try... that model is too good to collect dust...

and is that lord screaming... come and git some? cool!

**hk1x1**

Chuck Norris

**Viktor von Domm**

HA!... but true...in fact... chuck norris might be actually achoas lord in disguise... the third fist...hidden in his beard... might be a clue...

**DiDDe**

The universe isn't expanding it's fleeing from chuck norris

And yeah.. that lord is coming along so nice i can't even find words for it.. your skills is just amazing!! keep it up!

**Viktor von Domm**

my favorite is ...chuck norris counted to infinity...twice...

**hk1x1**

How do you know I have'nt already sculpted a tiny chuck norris, hiding under his cloak.... hahaha

**Viktor von Domm**

hmmmm.... good point....

**hk1x1**

The Chaos space marine lord is done, all finished and painted.

Here are the last WIP pics, and shots of the finished piece.

**Viktor von Domm**

oh.... very drama pose... the greyish/black really helps to convince us that this is a statue...!!! splendid work mate!

**hk1x1**

Thanks Viktor.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

I'm imagining it in the same way that the Soviet empire erected massive statues to honor their leaders. Very well done, has great opportunity to forge a narrative on your table, and is absolutely unique.

**evildrcheese**

Wow. Great work, really breath taking.

D

**hk1x1**

I know its been a long time since I posted anything on here, but just wanted to let everyone know ( or at least anyone that reads this ) that im currently working on some new scenery, and will post it up as soon as its done.

**Paint_To_Redemption**

Holy mother of Malcador! Those statues are crazy-good.

Do you... perhaps... sell the Space Marine ones?

ah! good news ahead!

**hk1x1**

All my other statues have sold, but i will be selling these new ones once their done. Im also doing and taking commission work as well, as i can redesign the basic statues to resemble any faction, space marine, chaos etc.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Hey man, good to see you around! I had forgotten about this thread and was psyched when I realized what it was.

I've done the same thing before (left Dakka for months at a time, 3 times so far) so no worries. Everyone takes a Dakka break now and then (except Vik).

**MauS**

Even Vik takes dakka breaks... hell, last x-mas he was gone for almost a week!!!!!!!!

@ hk1x1: Can you do statues of the imperial eagle? That I would definately love to see, and use, on my hyve table

**Viktor von Domm**

hurhurhur...*coughs* oh you younglings...

**hk1x1**

Here we are, the first batch of new statues

**MauS**

Me like... but me have no use for mutants in powerarmour. I prefer the backbone of the emperor's armies... Humans! Guard, ganger or otherwise

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Remind me again what your statues are made of?

**hk1x1**

The main bodys are made from a hard casting Plaster, while extras like the hood and shoulder pad details are made from green stuff, and another epoxy clay called milliput.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

So you do additional work on each model once it is cast?

**hk1x1**

yes i do additonal work on each one, as well as assembleing all the parts, as the body , arms, head and helmet are all cast separately. It can be time consuming, but its a lot cheaper than making moulds of all the different variants, as mould making materials can be quite expensive.

**hk1x1**

Next New project im working on is based on an older piece of scenery I built a while ago, A Space Marine Shrine. These new ones will be slightly smaller but more detailed.

Heres some pics of the old scenery piece to give you an idea of what im doing.

**Ruglud**

Love the shrine, really atmospheric - do you have a scale shot to see how big it actually is in relation to a SM (or similar)?

**hk1x1**

I did have some scale pics with a space marine in them but they've been lost. I only have one left, its not a great shot but it's all i have, I can tell you the size of the shrine if that helps, it was around 10" high, and the marine statue in the shrine was 6" tall.

Anyway heres the pic I have.
