Nice start Vik and considering the size of the shaper it's coming on well, as I mentioned earlier with the sizes of shapers I would have used a smaller one for this (should have sent a smaller one as well )
The larger one was for larger areas of GS really (hence chest of knight ) but for this size of model and using that one you have done well, when building chest sections I start with the basic shape of the torso pecks area ect.
Then later after the first section is dried I build up the six peck and define the muscle definition, this is why I do it in sections as you can alter or ruin detail thats finished when trying to create all the structure in one sitting.
Nice job and cant wait to see how this turns out later

yep...i am totally agreeing here with you but sometimes i can´t restrain myself and keep going further... tho that always cramps my hands as you then have to hold the mini in quite akward poses and this makes your hand to be like vicelike grips and you can maintain that grip only for so long...
the main skill i have to develop is how to actually use the shaper... how to move him...stabbing /swivveling/ pushing/ pulling and whatnot...
Nice job and cant wait to see how this turns out later
I made Brotherhood of Steel armor for my son once for Halloween. I will find a photo for you. I am also gonna make either Halo or Deadspace armor for him this year. Although he is thinking maybe he wants Space Marine Armor.

a bolter version for both of my kids is in the plans for quite some time now... i need to get this one started soon... i dream of raiding a playground together with my sons and see all those shocked faces of more "honorable" parents...
max...that would be cool...looking forward to that...!
son no don't shoot people with your bolt pistol and chainsword no
at fatty...i am more the father that looks sternly at my kid if he points with the naked finger... pointing with the boltpistol would be no tpoblem for me i guess^^
hmm vik any kind of old hat, helmet, or maybie even headband... you could also try a bandana, might work and be less tight then trying the headband
@max damn you gotta lucky kid, i would have loved to get some nice armor, as i would have never got out of it

I've never had any problems with mine. Mine aren't so old, but I've pushed the limit on the window of opportunity for workable GS, and haven't had any issues. I think it depends a bit on your technique as well, though. I'd be more worried about it detaching from the handle than the silicone tearing...

How big of a sculpting project you planning, Vik? I've never tried trimming down silicone and how it handles said process, but it has certainly crossed my mind. I've debated trimming some of the never used shapes into smaller versions of the shapes that I do use a lot, but never had the guts

well...actually i thought about going to use it for ground work on the knights body for starters... cutting it up...well the tips at least would then be later still usable on small scale...
also there are these silicon "bristled" brushes for baking and stuff... the bristles also could be used for this sculpting effort...
i know i sound like a miser here... but honestly it isn´t for me the amount of money atm but rather the challange to find other means to an end...
