hi here's my latest commission an old school beaky marine from the old days enjoy

Fantastic

I like the way his head is posed in the first pic. It looks like he's looking at me.

I'm wondering if the head is too high from the top of the neck armour. And the shoulderpads might be too small. Otherwise, neat.

Cheers fellas as for the pads n head etc he's based on a mini from right back at the dawn of gamesworkshop some thing like 30 years ago, as requested by the customer i stuck stricktly to that style i think i carried it off. once again thanks for the comments if you want to check out the wip its over on coolminiornot under trystans old style made new ! marine.
once again thanks for looking.

here's the original

Ahhhh alright then. Looks good in that regard

Awesome would have him protect my tomatoes and pepper plants from critters haha Looks great you should get a whole squad together

That is awesome. As said earlier, I would to try and sneak that into my wife's garden. By chance how much does one of those go for?

Great work!

Very impressive. There are a few scale issues that somewhat irk me, but that's purely a result of staying true to the model. I'd say you struck a pretty good balance between sculpting the model and something that actually looks good at a more visible scale.

Upper body looks great, but the shins are too long and thighs way too thin... granted, that fits with the aesthetic of the RT era stuff.

Overall, a masterful piece, really impressive and I can really appreciate the work and skill that went into it -

Congrats!

My only critique on this lovely piece of art is the Backpack. For a RT model the backpack you use is to new the RT backpacks were very different. Other then that it looks fantastic.

Example you can see the difference in backpacks here.

Ya got me the back packs a weeee bit of a mix n match lol
