NO, as GW would rip me a new one, lol. Its just for me, why do you ask? I will be doing parts soon tho.

My delivery of liquid plastic is yet to arrive, so i wont be doing any pouring today, Sad times.

But i did receive some new putty, which is GREAT! Its called ProCreate. Its grey, its a little easier to smooth out and work with than green stuff. And because its grey its a little easier on the eye's than the green. Looking forward to doing some more work with it.

has anyone else used this stuff?

No, but it does sound like something I rather not involve my fingers with..
___________

Anyway, really nice stuff, I envy that kind of control with greenstuff.

Thanks Sanctjud, its all just practice i suppose.

Damn dude, you always amaze me.

Can you explain how you made the psychic hood on that librarian... clearly it's some sort of plasti-card but how you got it to do that I have no idea.

Thanks man, Yes it is plasti card, I just cut the shape out as a flat section, then bent it over the back of a paintbrush's shaft, so i bent it 2 directions. Had to cut the head off the termi of course.

I have done a little bit more work on the mini, made that arms etc and started work on the sword. Not the best pics, they were taken with my iphone.







C&C?

Well, I asked since you're sculpting it but molding it at the same time, and also because I believe it looks delicious.

Disjointed Entity - Thanks, i would love to put it into production, but atm i'm just making copies for myself to experiment with different arms and weapons.

Here is a little update, iv finished the sword, nothing too over the top, im trying to go for elegance over anything else, as the weapon is taller that the mini.









Any thoughts?

arch the end of the wings up a little more, they look to flat like the aquilla, try opening them more like the blood angels symbol..... epic mini

Thanks dingholio, i'm quite happy with the shape of the wings tbh, but thanks for the feedback, i can see where your coming from with it. Iv e almost finished the mini now, just got a few little things to be finishing off this afternoon. I hope to get some more pics up very soon.

Holy heck mate that sword is bloody gorgeous. Seriously, clean lines like that are a beast - it's no flamberge mind you...

I did do one:



but i dint feel it looked quite right. Thanks btw.

I will try to post more pics up of the progress i have made soon. I got called out this afternoon/evening so haven't done much, but will try and do some now.

It's people like you what causes a disturbance...

Really I feel sick when I see the quality of the sculpts and GS work - it makes mine look like a child was using silly putty.

You could say Im GREEN with envy.

Oh no! he doesnt have a massive chainsaw?!

Ahh well, the model looks great, much better than the origonal metal one.

Thanks loads guys!

Oh no, Green with envy!? you didn't.

I didnt think the massive chainsword was very Blood Angels, i though a huge man cleaving sword was a little more subtle! lol

Yet another small update, iv done both shoulder pads now, not sure about the LH one tho, i thing it looks to much. Im working on th e pack at the mo, but will start the hands and sword shaft shortly.

Right Hand Pad


Left Hand Pad - Needs a little crease filling in on the droplet.


Provisional positioning for the sword:




Im still undecided if prefer the grey putty or GS as yet.

I got my resin through the post this morning, so poured it. Heres what i came up with:



Iv also been working on the original:









C&C welcome

Still a bit unsure about the right eye socket - othewise smashing.

I do kinda agree, i might go back over it at some point. Thanks

Almost finished!









Im not happy with the cloak, as its flattened out alot while is was drying, so i will be doing it again before i detail it.

Last things on the list todo are:

-Redo & Detail Cloak
-Left foot.
-Stud work around shoulder pads.
-Possibly the eye sock on the right. (Although it is what i was going for, he's 'meant' to be straining with anger)
-Stud details around the iron halo.
-Blade detail on Left elbow.

I think thats all.

What do you guys think?

Finished! Well i thought i was. Went to put a spray coat on earlier today. Everything was fine, until it had dried, I looked like a had dipped it in flour. So i have had to dismantle and strip back, which had some some damage. Oh well.

Good thing i took these before hand.

Wow...just wow...dude, your sculpting skills are amazing! What you got planned next?

Thanks man, my next project will most likely be the something based on the stuff you sent me a few days back (iv done a few sketchs already), Mixed in with some full scale stuff, weapons, faces etc. Iv got quite a list of things i want to get done soon, as i'm thinking of piecing together a product range to generate a little cash. Iv had a few people asking about this mini, and whither or not i have castings for sale, but i'm not sure where i stand with GW's polices, so i don't think i will be selling it as an individual mini, might just do it on a commission basis. (if anyone know where GW stand on this, please post something up here) Although since the spray primer mishap i am having to dismantle the mini anyway, so i will prob make moulds while i'm at it, and touch up some bits i'm not too happy with.

If anyone has any requests for custom parts, i have a thread for suggestions here.

Thanks for looking! Critique and Comments always welcome!

Awesome work I think that as far as the policy is concered, it is using games workshop insignias and such so I don't think you can sell it commercially. If you did a version which had sort of generic gothic insignias them I'm sure that you could.

Im sure i can sort something out like that. Thanks dude.

Simply amazing, your skills are beyond words! Jealous fan here, I can barely make skin for my Flayed Ones.

Can't wait to look through all of your work!

Thanks man, nice to know my stuff is getting noticed.

How the heck did you get so good?

All of these are amazing. The librarian is very cool. Could you do a few more pics of him from different angles? You inspire me to keep practicing at greenstuff sculpting.

Wow everything looks amazing. Nice work! ~

Thanks guys. I will try and get a couple more pics of that Lib, thats if i can find him, i never finished the mini, its just laying about my work room somewhere.

Wow, you couldnt by any chance tel me where you got your GS alternative from? the Grey stuff, as i am going to be converting CSM into Plague marines soon, and have had trouble smoothing GS before...and that was just to fill a gap in a model :(
And i love your miniatures
