Seems im never going to get Dave finished :(

I have been in contact with the original artist responsible for creating this...





Fran lopez Rodriguez, hat tip to Pegazus for the assist in doing so . and obtained permission to do a copy for a client. Thanks Fran

Damn you're going to make me jealous again xD

Fanfreakingtastic.

I really love your work Cassar. Your skill at sculpting is amazing.

Managed to throw the bare bones together last night, yes i realise it looks like the back end of a tram smash lol

I am reasonably certain that per-heresy death guard had plain untainted armor, not green.

That's a pretty amazing model, how big is it?

Im not sure how big this one is exactly but the chap who comissioned my copy wants a 200MM sculpt.

I believe the sculpts not painted the green tinge comes from the mix of the sculpting medium

Looks great. One thing I'd do differently cassar is make the boltgun a little beefier on yours. Doesn't look quite big enough on the original.

edit: Also I don't think they had Godwyn pattern bolters in the heresy. Can someone confirm that?

I don't think the original is painted, it's the colour of the materials he used

Getting there i've managed to throw together a rough figure so far.

A few updates

Wow so this is what it looks like... someone that has talent that is :( good way to make many depressed sir

Once again. My mind is blown. bravo, sir!

Subscribed with a vengeance. Keep up the good work, sir.

dude thats some cool shet right there, keep it up

Some updates re the legs and pauldrons etc, some scroll work to do on the left leg and the right pauldron's a bit blank so any suggestions re decoration would be appreciated i think its a bit bland with just the legion numerals, the belt buckle still has to have the loin cloth added will do that once the legs are permanently attached and then i can start into the arms and back pack.

Cheers for the input im going with the tactical sigil and legion number, in th emean time heres some more updates, i think its starting to get there

Some updates im a little behind as i had to re do the arms, i was just unhappy with the cables hanging around the elbow joint it just didnt look right so they are gone might do cables in the shoulders still. I have done some basic rough stough on the back pack and started on the bolter.

I have been busy rough tacking the power pack as it needs to be on the marines back to get the balance of the pose right (he is now officially free standing) the pose is slightly different to the original as the position of the feet on the original are "on edge" i think its close enough




























The arms etc are all just tacked on and not in final positions.

Very nicely done

This deserves a pass on the 1-word response rule;

AWESOME!

Some fine detailing starting to gather up, not far to go now.

Done very little this past while but here's some pics of the helmet (rough) i have adjusted the bolter slightly and following some good advice i am doing a combat knife for the left hand.

Did a little work on the bolter detailing, decreased the ammount of barrel thats visible in the main body of the weapon. I added the eyes to the helmet and tidied up the visor. Had "one of those days" with the right arm a real battle trying to get it in place without too much of the innards showing, hat tip to my shrink the anger management techniques do on occasion work. so heres a couple o pics










Im thinking i might have to fill in the visor vents a little as they look too wide at the moment.

Bolters done bit of poetic license used here and there overall im happy

Here's the rough mock up of the hands/weapons etc should have him finished tomorrow.

I have to admit a little bit of wee came out.

These are brilliant in every way !

Another build completed hope you have enjoyed watching it progress

now for the pictures
