I dont have these models but I want to sculpt them as scratch built models.

I would like helpful information as the exact height, width, length of these models. Base size.

If possible, detailed measurement such as arm and leg length. Torso size (length, width, height). Or appendages

Canaptek Spyder, wraith, scarabs.

I saw the other thread where someone asked for advice on recasting and it was locked.

Is scratch building from sculpting plastic putty not allowed here?

I am not making it an exact replica duplicate but I am making it with some derpiness.

Hi CadianGateTroll, I think it's awesome you want to express yourself in a creative way by sculpting models. Yes, making things out of plastic putty is allowed and encouraged here. Unfortunately I think the things you are asking for information on, like specific dimensions of GW models for the purpose of making your own sculpts, probably fall into the realm of recasting copyrighted models. The Dakka Dakka FAQ goes into specifics on this subject. Here's a link:

Note: I'm not a Mod, just passing along information. Don't shoot the messenger.

With that being said, go forth and sculpt. Create. Have fun with it. Share pictures.

Well then i I would just like the basic measurements such as total height, width, length and size of base.

I dont want to make it too tall, too low, too long, too short, to wide, too narrow.

from there I will make Derpy versions of the models.

Basic sizes are fine. If I had the models id help.

Just exact copies that are frowned upon.
