Hey guys and gals.

What do you think of these? I took this project back up since it's been kind of quite lately.

Heres a pair of Space Marine legs I started that are slightly taller than normal. I plan to smooth out any rough spots after he's fully cured. i wanted to make it look alittle different so i made the feet alittle boxier and added a lip to the calf guard.





Here's a large scale Terminator blank 'm working on. By blank I mean I want to mold this and use it as an armature for scratch made custom sculpts. He's very tall compared to a Space Marine. He's based off an old metal Terminator torso. I plan to scoop that head blank out ( he originally was suppose to be an obliterator, still might be)



Opinions,thoughts, ideas are welcome....

Details on the thighs and groin are about on par, so good work, there. The general proportions feel a bit off, to me, though. The legs seem even more chunky than the stock model's, so when they're scaled up to a greater length, the torso gets dwarfed. The height is good, but I think the new limbs could stand to be slimmer.

yeah, the lower leg (shin?) and knee caps look too big

I have half a mind to kill you, and the other half agrees

I was going for a thicker heavier armored look for the legs so made some adjustments to look like large plate Greaves. I think with shoulder pads and arms the size difference becomes minimal. I sitll want to add some details to the legs. Maybe I should make a matching upper torso? What about the Terminator blank? i've started filling out the feet.











This is what it would look like primed grey

I dunno. Lower leg armor is still pretty think compared to the rest. It looks like he has leg warmers on.

Yeah, the thicker leg armor looks...off..

While it would make sense, and the sculpt looks really good, the rest of the armor would need to be comparatively thicker so it doesn't look out of place. Or just make them a bit thinner. Other than that, scale and detail looks great!

So my terminator blank has been languishing for a while as a barely started Horus sculp until a few nights ago when I decided to turn him into a home made Typhus. He's a little rough around the edges but coming along.
