Simply incredible job... Outstanding!!!

Kudos

New update today, todays work on it, not quite finished I've gotta tone down the oxidisations.  Missing 3-4 colours in the mix so that's why it appears so bright.

I'm thinking maybe there's too much oxidised bronze, I think I'll have to drop some and take it back to raw metal, such at the two syringes in the front and the things on either side of the claw.  Anyways, early days yet so I'll be doing more tomorrow....






Whaddya think?

*tear*

Sniff.  It's so beautiful.  It brings a tear to my eye.

Thumbs up.  All around.

Ok guys, here it is.  This is my last update before I post the finished model.  It'll take me one or two days to finish but there's no point showing more updates before then, I fear, coz it's so close to finished now, and I've made a modification (slight) to the overall model.  That little weird sentinel style head I had beside the main one?  I ripped it orf....got sick of it and it was starting to throw off the balance of the beast I believe.  But you guys be the judges....

I've tidied up stacks of bits, still got a heap more to tidy up but it's all the final straight, so if you have any final thoughts that this beast might need to have updated....other than his skinny legs... .... nows the time..

On to the photos!  Behold!  The RIPLEY PATTERN DEFILER!










I know there's a lot of pics but I just LURVE how it's turning out!

I think I shall call it Ripley, and it shall be mine and we shall be friends...

Psssch, I could beat that in a fist fight easy.



Good work - a great concept followed through with much panache. Kudos!

Well guys, it's soon to come to a close, as long as no one destroys my model while I rest from work on it for the day!!!! Most of the little bits are complete, all the skulls, cables and extras have been touched up or finished. Now all that is left is to finish tidying up the bulldozer yellow bits, the chevrons, add in the object source lighting from the lava (it'll be done small and tastefully, but appropriate), add some burnt logs and stuff to the base (Sebastians orders ), varnish and then gloss the areas like lenses, lava and ..... what else to start with "L"? liquid ... um ... wet blood

Should post up the final pics in the next few days. Ta ta Till then!

I think I would be happy if i was playing that and you told me it was "just" a defiler. Looks so much harder...

Ripley Pattern... that's awesome... i net that fight would have lasted a few seconds if Ripley was manning that construct of yours!

Freakin' outstanding. I really don't have words to express the cool factor of this model.

woow! really great work there. the photos of the progress are great too.
what's next?

There are no words in the engrish language to descibe how cool this is.

This is inspiring me to get 2 defilers and make them into a titan. Anybody got defilers they wish to donate?

Thought I would post the new pics here since it's finished an all...well at least unles I get the urge the do some more touch ups. 

Anyways, some pics:








And the votey link thingy:

That looks frakking amazing. Great work!

Only a few miniatures give you the impression that you would totally s*** yourself if you were to see it in the real. This is one of them.

For those wanting to see a size comparison....

Inquisitor Lord Coteaz, meet Ripley.  Ripley says pleased to eat you Mr Coteaz, now don't be shy!

Sweet christ, he's huge! That's absolutely brilliant work!

I Bow to you!
