Just to clarify, does it have to be one model or can it be multiple models?


You can use multiple models if you wish mate, if it needs it to tell a story then go for it!

YAY! GSD
Started on some sub assemblies. All blue tacked right now.
Left arm reposed and the hand will be a GS sculpt. Scraped some of the plastic out from under the right pauldron to be able to convincingly elevate the arm in a defensive pose. Trying to get that hunched look of someone suddenly tensing. The gun is in his right hand as he was shooting around a corner to his right. Don't know why I decided to make life difficult for my self doing this but it's just the way I drew the ref so sticking with it


Changed the shape of the waist so the torso will look slightly bent forward and bent the right foot down as he will be pushing off from this foot.


Here is the ref again if you're wondering what I'm talking about pose wise. That's supposed to be a bullet or plasma bolt to the left of the image, striking the corner of the wall he was shooting around just a moment before.


Looking at it now, I may bring his left knee in a little to give a slightly more awkward and off balance feel.

Cheers for now, Vim

Quick update.

This is how all the parts are going to fit together, minus his left arm.

I will add bits of kit to add interest and cover some dodgy areas like his back. Any C&C would be welcome by the way.

Small update for the evening.

Started to build the base to get a better idea of the layout. I used some cheap as chips modelling clay. I think it is made from paper pulp mixed with glue. After I finish but before painting I will coat it with thinned down PVA as it's quite brittle.

The trick to this is going to be trying to have the impact on the wall look dynamic. Not too sure how to do this so have started off by chipping out the crater, sticking in some cotton wool then adding some of the chipped out parts back in as debris.



Cheers, Vim
