What are you using for the weapons and base?? Wood??

I have to say you skills are very impressive. Which i had half the talent you have.

Highly impressive - what source material are you drawing on for your inspiration? I don't know the Old Ones are particularly described in 40K background.

However, your depiction is certainly amazing

Very impressive i cant wait to see more.

its all right

i think i could do better


but on an unrelated note i am just going to hide under my stairs and weep quietly to myself for a while



( only joking its f***ing awesome)

Yea thats some mad skills. What are you using for inspiration for the Old Ones?

This is movie magic modeling level. I can't wait to see paint! Sub'd

Awesome stuff, excellent design and sculpting

Soooo heres some updates on the arms/arms














the basic foundations and positioning has turned out ok one arm has to be filled out then i can set about the bling and the hands and the vest...soooo much to do lol.

I have finished beefing out the arms and done a little bit of bling on the blades to match with the armour i can now set about the hands and some clothes/armour for the upper body.






the larger swords will have a bit more work done to the handles they are intended to work like rice flails and b sort of reversable.

Amazing work dude! I wish I had just 1% of the skill you have!

Do you just work in this scale, or do you do 28mm models too?

(And/or is there a gallery of more of your work, it's pretty damn impressive regardless )

the closest i have gone to 28mm was just recently, i did a couple of space marine jet packs in 70mm scale.

here is my Cmon gallery http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/cassar?browseid=2943847
if you want to see more pictures of the models then i have a facebook page too http://www.facebook.com/#!/marcus.cassar

all the models have wip threads at Coolminiornot too just look for cassar there.

Ah. I'm currently working on designs for my Mont'au Raiders (they're going to be a cross between Tau and ancient japanese aesthetic / Juraian) and will need someone to sculpt the 'sprues' for a large percentage of the force...

Though I can keep you in mind for titan-y things I suppose

Here are some pictures of the bare arms have the go ahead so i can start to add the bling, wrist bangles/straps and upper arm jewelry it also means i can finally get the hands on the go too all 8 lol

Have done some work on the arms, decided less was more still have some tidying up of the wrist straps left to do bit tricky doing these by the way (had to leave a socket for the hands to fit in and out of the back shirt/vest part turned out rather well once i do the front i will decide if i should go "Roman armour" and match the skirt. Enjoy

Have a little progress on the shoulders, managed to match them up with the skirt armour without covering up too much shoulder scale detailing i also roughed out the punch dagger hands.

That's coming together beautifully. Was a little unsure of the wings on the punch-dagger blades at first, but seeing that theme's been continued elsewhere it's all good.

this really is awesome! keep it up

Holy moley...

Outstanding work!!!

Ok heres the updates on the torso clothing and shoulder pads that would make Joan collins envious lol
















re doing the shoulder armour a bit longer really worked imo. I am in a bit of a quandry tho with regard to the ywo main arms i had planned on doing too rice flail like swords but im sort of torn between that and a more klingon like two hand one piece batleth type of thing. opinions would be appreciated please.

completed the punch dagger hands and started to position the swords/hands etc heres what the whole setups going to look like roughly.

Not sure how a batleth style weapon would look with the punch daggers below - weren't you making the hands removable? You could always make one to swap out if so.

All great stuff anyway

The shadow light hands should be completed shortly here they are so far the weapon configuration hands are done so then it will befine sandinding final checks and "im ready for my close up mr cassar" lol before packing it off to its new home.

Speechless.

Amazing work, what do you sculpt in? How tall does he stand now?

I have completed the weapon hands configuration just have to do some fine sanding the other hands are finished just cooking on the stove at the mo lol so to al intents and purposes this is done. Watch this space for the posh photos and thanks everyone for the input.

Here's configuration number 1 weapons configuration.

This is amazing.

Truly you are an artist.

Professional level quality. Seriously.
Perhaps I missed it, but I hope you are a professional sculptor/designer.

Either gw, or lucasfilm or someone ..anyone...absolutely amazing.

Thank you for sharing your world class level of work with this humbled audience.

Yor skill level is amazing, your work is incredible. It not only about quality and sculpt level, its about the type of care you give to the details, and how you build your thing to look alive.

Congratulations...

But, i must be a douche here, and present you with a realistic feedback, you deserve it as real as possible, as you have a lot of room for improvement (not because you do a bad work, but because you show an incredible potential)

Your talent with the muscles and skin sculpt is undoubtfull, but in some places, specially on shoulder pads, and other "inorganic" details, you still do it to soft. My impression is that when you come to those parts, you somewhat miss sharpness, and it start to look rough.

Please, dont take me wrong, your working is great, a rare kind of skill and talent composition, your "rough" is light years ahead of my "sharp", a trully amazing piece of art. But i see a lot of room for you to improve it. (right now, other followers of your work wants me to burn in pain :/)

Sorry if i was rude, and keep that amazing job. I really want to see it complete, maybe even painted. Im sure it will deserve a 12/12 on "cool mini or not"

Cheers for the opinion and no your not being a douche or being rude, thanks for the heads up honest assesment. Constructive critism is never a waste.
