I know dood, I was just messin with ya.

Oh, I know! But if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have thought of the Steempunk idea! And I really like that idea! I think that will be the way to go instead of berzerker cetaurs for my Traitor IG.

Horse tack needs rivets too

Both of you.

I figured as much!

mate... the horselegs looks stunning... for a sec i was fooled to believe this was GW bitz...because of the grey material... but then i realized the truth! no miscasts there^^ had to be a jake product... if you really want to go for that steampunk horse idea...er...i might be stressing my wallet.,..but that would really interrest me... i have oggled on the mechanized horse one general is sitting on of WHFB imperium...:



if you are in to making that horse one day...i might be highly interested to say the least!


the new corset looks really nice and the overall development really puts me at easy so to speak...^^

and i really wouldn´t know where to put rivets on centaurs...and that is telling something here^^

Thanks Vic! I used the green Apoxie sculpt for body filler, it's cheaper, but it's harder to sculpt details at this scale, so I will save the Gray Stuff for that.

I will keep you in mind when I eventually get to the steampunk horse project! I'm not even sure I can get to it in the next year!

I was thinking of re-doing the corset, but I think the part I'm worried about is going to be fully covered by the coat, so I think I'll keep it the way I have it.

yeah i think a wait and see tactic for that part might be good... the coat is covering much of her anyway...

as for the horse issue... i am beginning to think in longer terms too... the things that come to my mind have to sit and develop a bit too...if i wanted to do all that i have had ideas about at once i would go crazy...er... more than already^^

I hear that! My desk already looks like a collection of partially built/sculpted bitz from hell!

I just organized it, and I need to do it again!

if i didn´t do that every three weeks or so i would be up to nothing... the reorganizing or cleaning up as some might call it is essential...and over due...as i have come to the filing methode ..."put it just there..." which resulted in a covered desk...now i need it to be freed^^

Ha ha ha, yeah, I need to do some serious organizing! Maybe tonight. *sigh* I wanted to keep sculpting tonight! Well, maybe a bit of both!

as long as there is room to sculpt... sculpt for the hell of it!^^

Its a Necron horse

Very nice, sorry I haven't been watching this tread before, but I will be watching it now! Keep up the good work. Can you post a side by side of the Commissars?

Viktor von Domm wrote:as long as there is room to sculpt... sculpt for the hell of it!^^

Yep, no organization occured last night. There's room to work, so screw it.

Miss Dee. Resistance is futile! Bring me all your apples!

Kung Fu Jim - Thanks! Side by side will have to wait until I get #2 back from the casting shop.

There's room to work, so screw it.

word!

I have noticed that when I am taking regular, frequent WIP photos and posting them, I tend to keep the area a helluva lot cleaner, just so my camera's auto focus can't latch onto something I don't want it to, I cuss at the camera, but it is not affected.

heck ... remember this one...: cleanliness is next to godliness...


that is why i will never get to the big heavens... i am generally messy and unorganized... and my pics are even showing that... so no help from that one there^^

Yes, the auto focus on my camera gives me nothing but grief! Usually the area to be photographed gets at least swept off. And I have to keep my desk somewhat cleared anyway, because the table part folds up to close the desk, and if I don't keep it closed, the cats will play with my bits!

And I have no illusions about getting to heaven. I sealed my fate years ago!

as i´ve geard all the good musicians are in hell too... so that is the place to be for an eternity anyways^^

Yeah, I'm sure I'll plenty of company!

Update on Commissar #3:
Head attached, and Power Mace WIP.


I really need to make some time to work on her some more this weekend. But I'm happy with how she's looking so far.

maybe it is because of the for now frail arms... but the powermace looks way too hughe... the handle is too thick... the head of the mace tho is good looking...as are the proportions of the head body ratio...

Thanks Vic! Yeah, the handle of the mace is going to get re-done. I didn't realize how big it was until I posed it for the pic. I plan on sculpting her hands holding onto a handle the same thickness as the sword handle for the last commissar, and then pinning that handle to the head of the mace, just under the power node. I will try to remember to sculpt some texture onto the handle before I do the hands this time though!

I also want to make the handle for the mace in such a way as the mace head can be switched from the bottom to the top with minimal work, so it can look like she is about to strike instead of resting.

that is a good idea to make the macehead switchable! nice if you plan on making this mini sellable... that way you get two options for one buy...always a nice thing to be having...and makes it easy to buy two at once^^

and a good move of yers to make the handledetail beforehand

This whole thread is amazing. Absolutely amazing! Just wish I could be bothered to practise using my greenstuff to get as good as you are.

With the power mace you could keep it how it is but give her some kind of special gloves or paint them so they look electric like power fists but slightly smaller. If you get what I mean.

I saw the stock of female parts you got a couple of pages back, where did you get them from I would like to order some myself. Great thread by the way and I got that book on sculpting too! Subbed.

@Reaper Man 2020 - Do you mean these?

Those are mine! I sculpted them and had them cast up. If you are interested, PM me and we'll see what we can do!

Holy Crap! Is that a slaneeshi bunghole-reamer power mace??

..This is why I love dakka right here.
