With a little converting, I can say "Hello Lady Inquisitor"

Hey man,

I saw you put the vamp up on Dakka Dakka, just so you know she won't be cast, very closely based off the reaper 54mm monique de noir, the pose might be different but the armour shapes details and designs are the same.

If anyone asks the mounted wight king is what I'm working on next then another ganger, then a saurus Temple Guard hero.

After that I'm thinking about some TK stuff (really like the GW artwork for queen Khalidia) and possible a minotaur doombull min.

Girls are all good fun, but my heart and focus is and always has been monsters.

The hip components, made in two halves for ease of casting. There are no undercuts, which is something I've been keen to maintain throughout this whole project, since I want to make this as easy to cast as possible (since this might improve my chances of this model being accepted for production by the TFM gods... )

Now that I look at the right hand side, I realise that it is a little plain compared to the left, and I'll be adding some more rivets and cables to liven it up a bit.









This adapter fits into either side of the thigh component, and allows it to fit onto the hemispheres on either side of the hip joint. This allows the same thigh to be cast twice and then made different by which side the adapter is glued onto. I intend to occupy the adapter-hole on the other side of the thigh with some sort of a vent or a hemisphere plug.




Pilot in progress (admittedly, it's only just started and there isn't much to show, but I just thought I'd share whilst I was here. )

The finished head is going to be wearing a facemask similar to those worn by modern fighter jet pilots, with wild locks of long, flowing hair. I normally sculpt bald heads (because it's both easy to sculpt, and is an easy way to make the model look like a hardass) but with this young lady, I intend to give some long-hair sculpting a try. It might take me one or two attempts to get something I like, but I need to learn somehow.

These poses are tricky to photograph.

I think I'll add a few more baroque bits here and there once I see these finished, perhaps some aiguillette's or something to add a bit of elaboration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiguillette

Saber's might be an option slung on the belt but I want these to be plain in comparison to the armoured versions with gas masks.
