Here it is. My idea is an inquisitor and retinue. Pictured are the acolyte and the "hammer bearer" or servitor. This model will be dragging the large heavy hammer. Modeled very extensively. Having trouble posing the arms. I have about 4 pairs that im still choosing from. The acolyte is still way in progress although a LOT of work has been done already. I plan to sculpt much more detail to the armour. He will be a "true" scale space marine. I want to have him look like a deathwatch marine in training. I am having a hell of a time getting the legs right. I plan to have one up, like the captain morgan pose, on a rock. The other straight. He will be reading from his book. The book was fully scratch built. That was a pain as well. The project is exciting. I have a very dark color scheme picked out. The inquisitor lord is still in the concepts right now. Not sure what i will do.

Also a lot of clean up work after words. Im dreading that phase though. Gray stuff is good, but harder to clean and smooth out onto plastic.

Lookin good man! Do I detect a hybrid in the middle there?

Thanks Major, Im still having a lot of trouble with the legs, I worked on them tonight, i just cant get them bulked up enough. So now i must start from scratch again.
The hybrid you see is suppose to represent the goones that are shown in the space marine codex. The masked creatures that i have never seen in miniatures before. If you look at the art in the new codex with the chaplain walking through the ranks you see two small creatures behind him. They have masks and are almost hissing at each other. I have no idea what they represent, im trying to create them as servitors or just bearers for the squadron.

Check out Scibor's site, or pm freakforge (the guy doing my Dante) and ask him, he is a sick PA sculptor

very very nice add me so i can see oyur progress please.

love it man good job on all of it

Quick pic of my Missionary concept. I want it to be a warrior priest in the future. Old school concept here. I also threw in a new paint job that i want to use these colors on the squad. All colors are dark in base, no white tints. I wanted to keep them all dark as possible but use highlights that pop.

The gold NMM armor was done in a hurry, just kind of thrown on, testing new colors to get a brass look as a finish. I dont think i have achieved this effect. :(

From a distance the effect is starting to show, close up it really doesn't, If you want it to be more brassy I reckon you would need to start with a lighter brown than the one there....

I like the SM chap so far though.

Imp. Monkey

Got to agree with IM. Close up it looks like a brown (unless that's what your going for!). All it needs is a lighter basecoat

I think it looks good so far as a test but i would try again blending the paints together and i think it would look great

Yea as i said it is just a quick one. I see now that the only way to achieve NMM is with a lighter color. As i said i wanted to keep everything as dark as possible, and i know it didnt turn out as well as i wanted it to, but hey you have to experiment to get it right.

Anyone have any advice for doing the inquisitor lord. I dont want a radical, i dont want any specific affiliation, i want an old school inquisitor. Like when DH first came out. Or when Inquisitor first came out. They are almost like a heretic police department and i love it.

Your best option would be to go onto Google and look for pictures of some old school inquisitor stuff. thats where i get some of my ideas

cool stuff I must say.. not so much a fan of the NMM as it is pretty much yellow. Most NMM go up to an extreme to so light reflextion that if you wanted to go with it go up to a tiny amount of white.

So here is one of the thighs that im in the works on. I want a very complex armor pattern, even though he is a space marine i want him to look honored and very unique in appearance. making him stand out as one of the highest veterans of death watch. Decked out in all kinds of good stuff. Must say that the thigh is TINY. I mean it is small. It is sized to about a terminator leg, but to make those hinges slight peaks was insanely painstaking.

The Inquisitor I, that is just a test to see how plasticard will do making the initial symbol. I think it turned out okay. I will have to work out a few kinks before i even attempt it on the actual space marines legs however.

Very nervous to see what it turns out to look like. Good work so far.

I know it may seem like cheeting but the etched brass inquisition symbols from FW would help immensely with your hyper-detailing of the deathwatch.

Good luck, subscribed!

Subscribed here as well

Today i have begun some more work on the deathwatch veteran well, The acolyte, and i want to know what you guys think. I really am going for the decorated armaments here. This way he will stand out.

In my opinion i like using different thicknesses of plasti-card to do a lot of the work. It seems more natural. Especially after you paint it.

First some pics of the shoulder pads. Bordering and details are being added now.

Next the missionary. Sword or hammer, i have the sword done, here it is...what do you guys think, would a hammer be more pleasing?

And lastly some pictures of my old WH celestial. This darker tint to every color is what im looking for. I was wondering what you guys think. I painted this model about 4 years ago so be gentle.

The Celestials armour looks brilliant there, I love it! Oh and I reckon a hammer would look better, especially if you still intend for him to be dragging it.

Imp. Monkey

Vey nice. Hope you finish them very soon.

great work.
i'd prefer a hammer... i like the style of hammers
and the Celestial is a good work too!
...looking forward to the next pics

is this GD UK? if so you have competition from me

It looks like an interesting start. Good luck!

Looking great so far.

What are you planning to enter?? Because if your SoO are anything to go by then its gonna be a good competition!

Imp. Monkey

GD Baltimore.

@Imperial Monkey. This guy wont be dragging the hammer. That will be the weird hunch over model. He is the missionary. I just think maybe keeping the hammers throughout the squad would bring them together a bit more. The will be entered into the 40k squadron or vehicle category.

I hope to start work on the Inquisitor lord as well. He will be the most decorated and probably the most time consuming.

Some work done. The missionary is starting to come together now. The scrolls were quite difficult. They were done really thin. To bring more authenticity to the model. I also have to decide which power weapon the Death Watch captain should have. Im not sure which one is more suitable, if either of them. Converting will need to be done either way.

My librarian that I’m currently working on on my blog and maybe a terminator squad retinue to go with him all depending on time, so that’s either single mini or squad... i may do a LR for the vehicle category... who knows

And brush_slip : your converting skill is absolutely awesome! Best of luck in the competition! How long do you have left?

Lookin good brushy, make sure to check your PM's btw!

Some work done to the Acolyte, I think the pose is going to work out. With the legs started, and i put them on with tac to see how the position will look. Lots of cleaning up to do, but that wont be for a while. I still have to do the two sages, finish the missionary, and the hammer bearer, then start on the lord.

Very nice :O

Careful with the angle of the hammer head, it seems tilted a little bit! My other suggestion would be to do something more with the skull icons... your whole model and set is going to be so completely custom, it seems almost odd that the relatively simple and common skull sculpts are on there. Maybe design a specific Icon or heraldry for them? I only suggest this because I know what your goal is, and making them familiar in silhouette but unique in detail would be the best bet imo.

Other than that, awesome, there is something very Misgula'ian about the feel, and that is a big compliment!

Thats a total compliment, that guy is sick. Yea the hammer head is tilted, luckily the head is pinned without glue right now. And as for icons, i see what you mean major, i was thinking the entire mid section was missing something. Have any suggestions? I was thinking of doing something gothic there, much like the leg armor. Anything would help i think i may be hitting a modelers block soon. I cant get the sages right as of right now. Ill email you some pics of them so you could check them out.

gimme a few mins...

K, the ribbing makes me think Mark II armor, so I'm picturing a mix of INQ Coteaz style armor (no back pack) and the Mark 2.

Since the backpack is out of the way, I thought it could be cool to put him in a sleeveless coat, kind of a cross between robes and a trenchcoat. Symbol on the shoulder is a hybrid of the Inq seal, the Aquilla and a jewel just cause I like em. I adorned his right leg and shield, but I'm picturing a pretty plain rest of him, so as not to compete too much with your main dude, but still look badass.



Colors are wonky and gross to make sure each item is relatively distinct, hope it makes sense as it was quick and messy!

That's a very nice looking inquisitor you have going brush, and I like the direction MajorTom came up with. I think he would look good with his left leg up on something (a sort of Captain Morgan stance I suppose), standing on a rock/heretic/alien/demon....you could put something under his foot to designate which branch of the Ordos he's in, that would look really good imo.

Great work so far!

Thanks Accolade, and thanks major for the reference picture. Yea i have planned on doing the captain Morgan pose the whole time. That was the dynamic of him I want the detailing to stand out the most though. Modeling details on this scale is insane. I think im squinting more and more everyday

Here is the first completed figure, aside from paint and a few GS details. It is a missionary with a flamer and chainsword. I picked from a few weapons and heads and i think i made a good final decision. The sunglasses run well with the flamer aspect. The rivets are all done with GS "rolls", just cut to size. The plasticard was heated with warm water and bent to position and the bottom half was scupted to look almost like scriptures, this is what will be painted on them for the unique aspect. I also will be doing minor filing of any mold lines left unnoticed and any ugly spots. I do want to do a grip wrap up the staff of the flamer, im not sure though on that. I also have to come up with a base for all of the models in the squad.

All comments welcome.

Enjoy guys and wish me luck on the rest to get finished soon! Im running out of time here.

Thats cool does he have sometype of flame staff weapon? O.o sweet nice converting ^_^

Yes the flame staff is stolen from the witch hunters henchman with the book. I took the idea. But yea I think its missing something though. Im not too sure as to what yet.

Maybye some type of handel or somethin? or posibly another smaller fule box?

I was thinking of another fuel box, i was also thinking of a grip to put higher up, so that when in use it has a functional purpose. The thing is pretty long barreled, I want an older feel to the weapon, a sinister appearance if you will. I think im on my way to achieving it, it just lacks detail compared to the model as a whole. You know?

Maybe another smaller tank between the trigger and the lower pipe that is extending down from the nozzle?
might help bulk out the weapon.

And its pretty minor but the tube running from the backpack tanks to the bottom of the staff is fairly thin compared to the pipes exiting the tanks, maybe thicker wire? I do realize how fiddly that kind of thing can be tho.

Still a fricken awesome conversion

Thanks man, and yea i originally tried to do it with pin, the same pins i use to...well pin. That was a chore, and i did not work. Im going to see how well i can manipulate some of my larger gauges though.

Oh also forgot to ask. Do the dents that i put in the tanks on his back look realistic?

yeah man, now that you mentioned it A few scratches and weathering with the paint job will make em stand out I'm sure.

Those little touches will make the difference in a GD entry for sure

Thanks man, im happy the dents dont look bad. That was a concern of mine. But yea now that i have two different desks i can also get to painting him as well as modeling in two separate rooms, so that i dont get cluttered.

My vote is for something like this.


(Its not mine, found it elsewhere)

Spy check!

Loving your concept for the Inquisitor Lord, the armor looks like it's going to be awesome. Also, the dude with the flame staff reminds me very much of an Arbites.... I think it's the armor and the way the head is build but it looks damn good!

Dude funny that you posted an ork burna conversion, that was the first concept, was using one of the burnas, its just too large for a cadian sized model. I was going to make a smaller version but i wanted to keep the sinister flamer pole idea incorporated.

Flamer pole definitely missing something, if I were you, I'd play around with your plasticard/rods/tubs and keep bulking it out. When you get the overall sillouette right, gs on some diles, wrap some wire around it, and you are good!

Probably easiest to find a reference for a 'techno staff' type thing from a videogame, movie or comic, and use that as a starting point.

The head I think could use a little something extra too, to make it unique as the model deserves to be. I think something small that breaks the face/visor/forehead sculpt up would really individualize it.

Overall looks awesome though!

I do want to add more cables and stuff, i just dont want to overdo it. Ill also try to make a housing out of plasticard to give it more bulky-ness and i want to add some little do dads to the entire model to make it look like he has done his fair share of travelling. The head, YES, definitely needs something to pull it together more. The helmet just kind of fades into the model as a whole.

Sounds good! The pole of the flamer, it's just that that one rod just ends for no apparent reason or function. That, and it could definitely use some banding etc to make it look 'put together' so to speak.

I don't think the answer is to make it huge or make it non-pole like, but I do think it needs a lot of texture in that area to re-enforce it's function

i see flame coming out of the top of the flame pole. To me he is lighting the way in a dark corridor for his comrades. But Idk, maybe it would be tacky.

Really digging the Flamer conversion. Great looking model with alot of character!! Now get painting!!

Haha the flames coming out the top would be cool, its just been done so many times. i do need to make that second pole functional. I wanted it to give almost an exhaust look, but i realized if it was an exhaust system, the wielder would be burnt by the after burners.

I cant wait to get painting, I just have to make sure that the model is fully completed. As well i have to also work on the other models. I wont start painting until i at least get the second one and the lord started, as well as get the kinks worked out of the death watch model and finish him up.

They are going to be awesome, stay on target dude!

Wow how did I manage to miss this thread.

Looking good and I'm liking your take on the squad thus far.

As for the flamer...a lot of the mentioned are great ideas to follow.

The clock is ticking and I hope for the best for you to make it to GD.

Keep it up!!

Holy Crap you are fething amazing

Thanks man. Im not the best though, and GD is going to be so incredibly tough this year. Considering its in ONE location not three. I hope i at least stand a chance though. Thats all i can really do is hope after im done.

So i did a little work and i want to know if it helped at all. i decided to go with attention to detail to spruce it up. I have put on another gas line and a wing nut valve regulator out of etched brass as well as some mounting brackets. Dont worry the top of the flamer isnt crooked I checked, im not sure what that is. Oh and i also added a heat gauge on there that i will paint to show detail. That is what the little round thing is.

Here it is.

I like the etched brass bits, they add a lot of detail..I just don't know if they add any weight to the flamer.

TBH it might be time to put him aside, concentrate on some of your other models and come back to him with a fresh eye.
Whenever I am working to a deadline I find I can become stuck on a detail and then have to rush to finish.

Just my two cents, I still think it looks great

I actually did start to move on, but it was so hard not to come back to it. Sigh, ill try not to for a little while and get hooked on finishing more of the squad.

Your doing a fabulous job. My conversion skills are not a tenth of what yours are . GOod luck. i cant wait to see the final pics.

Thanks man, but i do like your scratch-built stuff in your gallery. Your greater demon of nurgle is great.

Not much here, just thought i would add a little color to this blog. Just a base concept. Im not going to use this one, it is a mock up to see how well MIG pigments would make rust on a much smaller scale. I wanted it to look like old rundown rustic stairs, which will be the idea for the squad. I have the rust kind of discoloring the steps as well, much like how it would almost rub off on things in real life. I tried to keep the colors of the step lighter and cooler, considering the squad will be in dark tints and warmer colors.

These steps were made using my cork and sand style. With a little plasticard to add the more mechanical riveted support.

Let me know what you think of this idea.

now that is what im talking about,,, awesome! keep going, needs a few more subtle bits, but you are def on the right track

Beautiful work. Very impressed with the fiddly plasticard. I'm doing some Ork Nobs converting from the AoBR to Mega Armour... even that is tricky for me at present, so my hat is off to you.

They look great. The only thing I would say is that it still looks like cork on the top though as you can see the holes in it. If you fill them with putty juice it should solve the problem quickly enough!

Thanks man. I want to add a few more things but im not sure as to what. You know functional? I started on the second missionary, got just the bottom half done. This will be a blind one that has MANY MANY books as cargo. He will have a skull servitor to write for him I have the skull servitor almost finished...Here is a pic. Now remember how small this thing really is. Man it was tough making it. The pics are kind of bad.

Right now im trying to make a pen for the wire coming out of the top. I just cant get the size right.

I'm not so sure about the pigments. It looks more like a coating of mud than it does rust.

In no way does this look like a toilet roll dispenser No, this is really, really impressive - I'm only kidding. How about using the feather from the helm of (say) an Empire outrider (or similar?) as a quill?

lol, tp

I see what they mean about the rust, make sure you use at least 3 tones of powder, starting with a burnt sienna, and going to the oranges towards the middle. awesomepaintjob.com has awesome rust pigment sets, 3 colors

Thanks guys. Not going to lie i laughed to myself while i was making it thinking about a TP roll and how it works to get the right effect.

I never thought about another color...hmmm, i picked up the rust colors that were available, not really thinking about the older rust which would be a brown not an orange brown.

Definitely add two more colors to the rust, but I would suggest doing it in spots, as apposed to radiating from the middle.
Check this out:

I think it's a good example.

4 bucks per pretty big pot of pigment, tons of options for color. Can't be beat!

maybe it's the second cup of coffee finally getting filtered through the kidneys but that skull reminds me of a little toilet paper drone, lol. nice sculpting work, though. i'm looking forward to seeing the final inquisitor.

Dang, I have one of the FW servo skulls that comes with solomon lok and I know how small it is. You've got some real skills if you can recreate it in the same scale Well Done!

DUDE 4 dollars a pop, im paying 8-9 for MIGs right now. That cant be beat. Straight pigments are not cheap, and the bottles i get have A LOT and i really dont use all that much so that would be perfect, any idea on how fast he ships?

These are awsome

He was good, it's him himself who deals with the orders, sent them out pretty quick, but not lightning fast. Took a week or 2 as I recall. Well worth it though, LOTS of pigment per pot.

That would work perfectly, considering my personal deadline for the modeling is two weeks. Oh and i have decided to go with Iquisitor Rex from Forgeworld. Maybe a little converting but nothing super outrageous. i think his detailed armor will fit very well with the squad. Only problem is that he is in terminator armor which means he will be the size of the space marine. You know on second thought, maybe i wont. haha, yea that was a very quick change of mind. I dont know what i will do. The squad should be done, without the inquisitor in 2 weeks.

Im just all kinds of jumbled right now.

Stick to your guns and do something unique brushy, if you get rex it will be boring compared to the rest, if only because he will be the only one people have seen before!

I believe! lol

haha thanks man, i really have to get crackin though. No joke i have to get to work and not stop. I dont need to sleep for work. haha no i really should at least make time for that.

So i picked up the bretonnian shrine box set thinger, and i have some bitz coming in the mail soon. I also have some modeling putty and a few new things for modeling in general. Can really do that much work without them. The bretonnian shrine will be one AWESOME project i hope. I cant wait to get painting that thing. I plan to pimp out a base for it as well.

I assume/hope it is for the inq/retinue display base???

I am starting work on the display base as well, but no im painting some stuff as well as modeling the squad. I just cant model until i get my shipment of GS, Bitz that are critical, and tools.

So here is something ive been fiddiling with while i await my supplies. I picked this up in hopes of doing a huge warm color to cool color contrast. I experimented with the skin tones and the robes. The washes in the skintones are all cool colors and the robes are all done using earthy colors and warm colors. Thus far im pretty pleased. The contrast added by the gold NMM worked out pretty well also. This is me advancing my basic technique of NMM to a little more blending and highlighting. Hope you guys like it and i promise more to come with the Inquisitor i just need something to do while i wait.

Im not happy with the skin just yet. I think it looks okay just not the quality i was going for. As well i will be doing the washing technique for the Inquisitor and retinue on top of my usual layered highlights.

That's a great model... are they attached a the hip? Relic Bearers, right?

I like the contrast you've built up. The warm robes bring the warmer tones in the skin out, gives it a lot more depth.

I think I'm gonna have to get that model... after I'm done with my orks, that is.

Fantastic job! I anxiously await your next update.

It is a fun mini to paint thus far. Difficult to pin and assemble separately from what i have seen though. I wish it were in plastic. It would be a much more versatile kit if it were.

Here is another one of the relic guys. I really enjoy this one and it is a popular mini to paint. Im doing a lot of experimenting on the others of the regiment besides the holders of the relic. here i went for a very sinister and dark skin tone using cool colors again. I based it in a brown and purple mix working reds and blues into the highlight colors. I think it turned out pretty well. Its not the normal flesh tone, its more worn and battle hardened.

I want to go back and wash the bruises more to blend them into the skin. Right now you can basically see the color transition and i dont want that.

Sorry about the bad pics.

HUGE problem occurred today. Lets just say im starting from scratch again on the missionaries and the sages, because i used the wrong kind of primer. NEVER i repeat NEVER use GW primer on something you have been working on for a while. HOLY crap did it screw up my model. I mean it fuzzied and cracked and just blew that thing out of the water. I tried to get it off but the model of course just broke apart, due to its fragility. Im so mad that i could just cry, all that work and now its gone. There is no way of resurrecting it i tried. Any ideas on how i should go about this next attempt?

I want the basic idea still i just am real screwed now. Like i dont even know where to begin. I hate GW primer now. So much it makes me sick. Its terrible.

Here are some updates on the chubby guy im painting. I also did the sword in metallics. I went with the old school 'eavy metal team technique. Highlighting and mixing metallics instead of using washes.

Ok brushy, I have asked before, but now I REALLY want a skin tutorial from you! It is my weakest area painting, I am pretty confident in everything else, so help a brother out!! I know you are busy, but snap a few picks on the next member of the reliquary crew and help a brother out!

Not a problem man, I could make a quick tutorial when i get to painting the next one. No biggy. Plus who knows if i will even make it to GD this year. Unfortunately with my new job i may be working 6-7 days a week for a couple of months. A job is more important, this way i can buy more warhammer. Anywho, ill have to see how this new production goes. I mean at work. If we land a big job then they want parts out fast, which means more hours to work to get them out. Its a shame, but its got to be done.

I hear ya, you have your priorities in the right order mate. At least so long as the wife comes in before GW stuff too lol!

haha, yea for the most part, unless were fighting. But yea, either way im going to make the inquisitor and retinue. I dont care how long it takes. Golden Demon may be big and make me a serious artist if i won, but I think it will be okay to just paint for the fun instead.

Everything looks great so far ^_^ haha sweet this forum isn't blocked by my school XD

hahah thats what you think XD nah but ATT, heresy online and Bolter and Chainsword wasn't blocked ether

This is truly inspirational stuff. Keep it up.

really like that flamer, and the models

thanks guys, unfortunately the flamer guy is a casualty of GW spray paint. I could have shed a tear about him. Even if i decided not to use him in the squad i worked my ass off on him. But yea now im forced to start a new. At least on the heirophants.

Simple green!

There is still a chance to save it!

That sucks BALLS. I have been a victim of GW powdered spray too... Console yourself that at least it was primer and not sealer!

Try stripping, hope it works out man :S

That really sucks about the flamer guy, he was looking sweet.

No worries on the flamer. I will redo him. I mean honestly everything that i try to do again never looks as good, but im pretty sure i can get a good new flamer, as long as i stick to the original concept. Plus i will be able to kink a few flaws that i noticed previously on the first one. I see it as an opportunity to perfect. I let go of the fact that i ruined the first one. Things happen, its okay now.

simple green brushy, there is still a chance! Hell, send it to me and I will simple green it and keep it if you don't want it lol!

Yea, I tried the simple green. Unfortunately the GS didnt hold up. And the bitz that i added were too thin or fragile to hold up as well. So looks like i will have to start from ground zero again. Which as I said isnt so bad. Major Tom I would have gladly given it to you if i knew that no matter what i would mess it up. lol. Yea I need to find a better primer. Maybe I could get some advice on this subject. Tonight I may have some updates on other projects. Still waiting for bitz from warstore. Hopefully they come soon!

pm me if it's not on this thread, look forward to seeing them!

Shame about the model, it was great work... Good to know about simple green and GS though!

I have read several recommendations from people regarding sprays in various threads here, most seem to indicate krylon sprays are good. auto body and rustoleum is also pretty awesome. I used auto spray for white a while back, worked fine, left a slightly thicker coat but not enough to obscure detail.

The biggest thing to watch out for is humidity. If there is humidy, watervapor is caught in the nebulized paint, and it ruins the surface tension of the paint as it hits, creating the pocked rough surgace. I don't know about you,but it's been muggy as hell up here lately. The way around it? turn on the heaters in your garage, or AC if its there. Could also put a dehumidifier in there. Best idea though is to just keep track of the humidity and wait for a really dry day.

Sucks dude... but then again, iterating is rarely a bad thing, especially for this kind of work, which isnt like say impressionism or abstract painting where sometimes its just about the moment and a one of a kind brush stroke, this stuff is about skill, patience and steady hands!

Oh ya, and time... lots and lots of time lol

So considering that i will not be able to make it to GD this year. Which is rather depressing i finally opened one of my Leman Russ for the DKOK army, and i come to find it is severely warped and i mean just destroyed warped. Should I call GW cause this thing has been sitting a while, and i have had the bad luck of calling them once before. Would it even matter. I mean either way this thing WONT go together. Im so frustrated it may be the first one ive walked away from in a long time. What should i do...

And dont worry i have some updates for tomorrow on the Inquisitor and retinue, You will all like i Hope. God i love DH they have just so much possibilities with converting. Anyway, just a random post here but any type of feedback would help.

I got a bunch of old GW box sets from my FLGS that ended up missing bits. That last one was really bad, but GW was very generous about it. I was surprised. Give them a call and see what they can do, I say. But if they ask if it's been sitting in the sun for three months, be honest.

if you are missing parts or got misscasts,you get your product replaced wherever you bought it.

even if its a non-gw store they take it back,give you a new one and they get a new one from gw(they can even keep the one you gave back).

Some what of an update on the would be golden demon entry. I started a new missionary, after losing all motivation from the casualty i suffered on the last one. But i am coming along quite nicely with the Deathwatch true scale space marine.

I have a pic for the scale reference, he is big, big as in TRUE scale man.

The right hip will be remodelled. It looks very very strange. Too far out i would say.

holy crap that guy is hudge! you could easily make that guy into a primarch!
cool stuff keep it up.

This is some sweet work dude. All looking well good. Subscribed.

Thanks guys, yea i wanted the big look to him, without the super bulky-ness. I really tried to get a good pose, not dramatic, but more the calm before the storm pose. The whole squad will hopefully have this, if all goes well.

Looking good Brushy, pray to the primer gods for these!

Only crit, the hips are way out of wack on the marine, they are to the sides of the crotch area when they really should be under it. Don't know if it's a wip thing but the legs are way too wide apart atm.

btw, the plasti-armor is coming along beautifully!

love that marine

Amazing work! Keep it up!

Looking great!

Thanks guys, I do know that the hips are a little out of place, especially the right one.

nice work

This continues to be excellent inspiring stuff. I've found fw customer service to be exemplary about replacing parts. Also, try soaking the russ in boiling water and then use G clamps (proper big 'uns from a hardware store) to hold it roughly in shape. I used this to salvage a centaur from a red shirt that was deemed unsaveable.

That's some serious work there. Keep up the good work.

And keep up posting too, it's nice to follow the progress.

I did try the soaking in warm water.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

very nice! cant wait to see more.

Very impressed keep going.

Threadcromancy is bad. I believe GD is over so there 'won't be no more updates'.

Your avatar pic is bad.

A final update of the OP's entry would not go wrong here.

We have seen only a small proportion of the GD entries, and this year was more controversial than last.

Unfortunately I did not make it to GD this year. So no no more updates. The project is still in the works just moving much slower so its hard to make any updates. Ive gotten much more conceptual design to do. I am hoping to have quite a few entries for chicago 2011 so stay posted.
