i have to say the belly i did only to use the rest of the GS i mixed and didn´t want to go to waste.... but after i wriggled aroud that blob i saw how fitting the belly would look..

so tommorrow i will add a bit to the bumsection^^ and i think a major blob of gs smoothed ou to get the arms and upper torso in line of the lower body...


and looking at mi pics i have to second your comment on the behind of the ogryn... he looks rather un nnatural flat in that department...

are you refering to a bulls neck? i think i could manage that...i fear his head might be a bit to small in the end, but well he is certainly not the bonehead of the unit^^

well if i am as good as that there is no limit...^^
its rather tempting to do all those muscles...atfer all i have to just look at my catachans for reference^^
but i think if all goes wrong i do some clothes to coverup the crap i´ve modeled...i hope i can keep a straight face when modleing the bum^^

cheers mateys...and good night *waves*

vik

you have to look at their latest update... he did a mauser




one of my favorite handguns of all time...that thing is a chestremover and not a holepunch like others...

i deeply consider an order when this is released... for all of my officers and sergants...

zinge industries or how they are called, your subscribed to them to...^^half a week of absence and the subscribed threads are all forgotten?^^

and if you write them you might get free samples...of miscasts... but their miscasts look stunningly and are uncomparably good with FW good casts...

at TNM yep probably and i use the parts to get more structure to my ogryn too^^

at shrike...maybe next month i will spring into action...^^

at perkustin...sounds promising...not the vaseline^^ ...if you start the action be sure to post some of your pics here ...i like some inspiration and a source to nick some ideas like the next best chap^^


so did a bit of work on my model...the work was better flowing today...the mixture was still a bit to blueish and thus a bit harder than needed... have to fix that next time for sure...maybe first get the yellow and then the blue as then i can take lesser amounts of blue...
still i did an effort and repositioned both arms again to the body...the GS was quite long sculptable and i did some work on the shoulders,back and waisti think i am far from an end to the sculpting here...still groundwork to be done.. but still it is shaping up quite well and i get better at applying the GS to the sculpt...
so see for yourself...:
some with flash



some without flash and the setting sunlight...



thanks for tuning in...leave some C&C for me to learn and get better^^


vik

i think in terms of growing up we´ve lost shrike underway...and will probably never fi9nd him agian and he wont get there on his own...well...

you really think it is thime for deatail? well...this makes me lighthearted and crestfallen in the same time... now i cann add character for real to the mini and now i HAVE to add charcter to the mini...

i think i will be quite nervous now as this is normally the moment when i really f...k things up...
but to tell you the truth i have recently recovered a veryx small ball of GS at the construction site and rolled it up to a lil sausage which i then put round the head like a bandana...a further layer will have to come too but it fave me a bit of confidence that if i take only very small measurements of GS i can come up with finer detail...

i have been thinking of adding SM shoulderpads as maybe kneepads... and later i will add some bits to the mini too so to getsome high definition detail too...like SM Bolterpouches for the cargopants look and such things...should i give the ogryn a backpack? something similar like the cadian one?...only bigger?
i am still a bit unsure of the arms position and my selfmade rippergun...maybe i will use it on the next mini...for now i think i have to make a totally new weapon ... tried a bit of posing with an autogun and i have to say it doesn´t look fitting... now i snapped the hand with the fromer beartrap off and will redo that too...i am still thinking i will get this hulking son of the emperor a mini gatling...how does that sound?...i think i will print out now a version of the maxmini one for reference...^^

by the way... if you are so ahaead of the sculpting ... why not share some pics? even bad ones i would love to see...

well then i give you one chance ... take it or leave it sporty...

i think you´re right about the ogryn and backpacks... i am having a bit of a problem understanding and feeling a bit inbto that character of a total dumb person...probably thats why i come up with such ideas...but if i want to get the big guy a gatling would it make sense in giving him a backpack full of amo...a belt coming out of it... like it would be only a big belt-amo-pouch?

bogus looks like it could be really nice...that sad face ...^^

using small wooden parts to give a genaeral shape...cool idea... this will be taken into account the next time i sculpt a mini... save lots of time and material and gives a clear shape right form the start...i was so fixed on the idea of using true sclupters material that thios totally escaped me...thanks a heap for that insight...

if the pic above is a look of things to come i greatly recommend paying ailaros a visit... he did wonders on the coats of his ogryns...and his heads look like he could have been an exelnnet hairstyler back in the golden years...

he got six toes and fingers on each hand/foot...sign of an angel...

i like the crate idea very much...like doing it wooden style...with really basic straps around the shoulders...
no...i meant your probably better learned in fluff than me... well that isn´t really much saying as ants are probaly better in fuff knowledge...

in the current codex or where?

ok have that in english on my pc...will look into it...

DOW quote thats a classic line...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!

update time...
today i did quite some GS work on my lil ogryn....
used a more yellowish compound of GS too...i am quite satisfied with the outcome...
tho i tried to give him a shirtwearing look i failed to give him the neckpart of the shirt but made him rolled up sleeves...
also he now wears trousers and i did big and trusty soles to his boots...
notice the bonnet he is wearing and the sash of hopefully scottish apearance...because he will be a scottish brute...

i guess tomorrow i will be adding some regular bits to the trousers and will be working on his gun...

so here he is:






some points i still need to take care of with a bit of GS and some points i guess can be covered up by painting...

well over to you now...

cheers, vik

if by today you hadn´t found out i had notified you^^
tho i posted a link in my steampunk blog^^

anything i could improve and how?

probably should make a nice reference shot with a nice in comparrision looking virgin cadian^^

thanks mate^^
hows your ogryn coming along?

oddly i have had no problem with getting the GS to cure... after i finish sculpting the amount of GS mixed then i do things for about an hour and all is good to make other rhings with the mini... as of now the mini i getting quite heavyier and more robust...to my horror i even dropped it and it did nothing to the model...i think in the long run i have to look for a new package of GS... i think the stuff and me getting good friends now...

so finishing the warriors means sculpting or are you into painting them now? miss an update on your thread...

small update... made a size comparision shot with a cadian and a catachan metal IG and my new green Ogryn...
i think he is quite big... too big? i never saw an ogryn on the table so...




let me know what you think when looking at the green guy...


vik

for tossing the caber he sure has the built^^

i think he is more like eating the piper and the cook in one go kind of guy/ogre...

do you think it is still possible to give him a nice kilt to wear? i fear his legs and boots are a bit too big... could be stupid looking...although a kilt would be übercool...and it could take the effect of too much legdiameter away...also i think while his croch was at first mightyly stuffed now it seems lacking in that department... meaning his legs are longer than they probably should?

your opinion?

so i did a bit of work on greeny here and to thank me for my work he is doing a lil jig to me and you^^

see what i ´ve doen to him:







what do you think?

tell me^^

would someone be interested in an armed picture of my selfmade (well nearly) ogryn?

well i know him by heart^^... so only tartan... got that planned tomorrow... made a stamp to get some lines and agular shapes into his kilt...in a fresh layer of GS...
well it will be very difficult for him to toss his cabergun^^ as he will get tomorrow an amunition belt so tossing might become a bit of an obstackle... it will be attached to his amobackpack...but with ogryns i guess everything can be achieved with brute force^^

as for rowdy piper... a clean and white shirt with a red/blue kilt would be all he needs^^

lol... yeah thats the spirit^^...
i have to say i have medled with the gun a bit and the shooting hand too.. i think they both look suitable now.. the latest iteration is better but not nailed down in a pic...
there will be a nice belt, have tried to make one out of cablebinders but that didn´t work out so well as these things tend to be so sturdy that they bend not to my whim...so i think i will GS my way through...
i read the fluff and description in the codex now and well i picture them as brutes and also i used the image of scotts not deliberate... it was rather a thoughtful decission...the picts (no pun here for i mean the scottish ancient folks here) where my backround idea... they would match these hard bargaining fellows quite good in my book... for all true scottish betheren i didn´t want to affront in the slightest here...
its just a way of playing with stereotypes...
i think if i come around these ogryns here the next GS project will probably be indish ghurkas as psykers...how does that sound?

oh god i got these backflashes again...

no is it racism to make tehse chaps as brainy as can be?
also if i am not mistakes seing my recent catachans... the skintones should come of easy for me^^

the main parts that make him look cartoony are like you´ve mentioned the boots and for my part the shoulder/upper arm and breast part...they are the weak points of the sculpt...
i have never cut cured GS... is it hard to do? i am more than willing to give this bugger a better sole to stand on...i am currently a bit short on suplies of cheap action figures...tho this might be a good thing to do when we get to a fleamarket in the nearer future...or i might even be purchasing something to fit the bill...by the way, would trimming work with GS through and through? and how much would be good? probably halfing the boots in width and lenght?
the kilt will get some work on it, i for now haven´t came around to do that ...but will do so in no short time...

it needs a few pleats and a sporren though

... care to give an interested but unknowing some insights as to what that might be?

well i thought fat bastard was made up to be looking like an ogryn^^

thought i could do some work on the greeny here but life and things happened...so maybe tomorrow...but i am not sure even that as my wife has some days free of work and she wants to make a tour with our bikes...(bicycles)...i hope it starts raining^^


at Lonecoon
now i know what the sporran might look like... in fact i had a funny moment and put an ogre kind of sporran for that just in front of hs belly too...tho the fantasy version of the sporran is a sight to not forgett in a hurry^^...

well i could have made some progress....but i listened to neil and instead of progressing i just sawed off the legs with the boots at knee level... and i am now in the process of recreating some legs for the greeny...

well i think autisn powers has sure its moments...and to tell you the truth a very hot liz hurley in the first movie is quite a lot merit^^

yep perkustin, colorshapers are very high on my list of things to get me for getting better...as of now i only work with xactoknifes and dentist tools.... which is a bit creepy in my book...^^

i follow CM Dante ´s latest project quite closley and it puts me to shame... his work is whoa...he even does a set of muscles before doing a shirt above...that is very strickt work...

pics will probably come about tomorrow...with a peglegged Ogryn^^

vik

well the green orkide would tie in nicley with the usual red scheme...
well he has a pegleg now....didnt really plan on letting it stay that way... but you raise a valid point here.... a techfeel to the leg would cover up a bit of my worser parts of work^^

by the way... anybody know of any tuts or pics of GS works to make the head of an ogre a bit tech looking to get the bone ´ead look?

vik

lol....i have the ogryn now with too seemingly wooden pegs now...when cured i will be working on feets then...

pics tomorrow promised... did today a lot of conversion work...

thanks mate^^, i plan on buying as soon as possible some color shapers.... this will get me hopefully on the next level...to smooth out the GS more...to get it more even....

well me i don´t have that too...lots of things to do in a household...but if i am contantly getting better (cross fingers here...) then who knows where that might leads to....

So here too PICUPDATE TIME...





and a sideproject for the greeny a selfmade amobelt...




different lighting to get the whole details...has to be cut to size... and it is nicley felxible still...

what metal plate?
