aye... from the pistoliers set...

and as previously stated... the head is from RS jake...took me a long while to finally find a good use for...

I know the bloody head is from RSJake it is rather distinctive LOL

Any clue as to the scheme then

Looks badass as hell, vik

hmm, I'm guessing a red head and black jacket...

It's as if that head were made for that miniature!

Reynolds brand aluminum foil keeps out 25% more government brain-scanning waves than the generic brand does.

Actually an independent study discovered that quite the opposite is true, the aluminum foil hats actually increase the power and frequency of government used frequency radio signal bands. So actually the foil hat wearers are making themselves more receptive to mind control waves.

Shhh
They're not meant to know the tin foil hat theory is actually government propaganda aimed at targeting those with the types of thoughts their satellites are searching for.

Very nice vik!!!

Tres cool!

i just leave that here

talk about to foil a plot ...`nuff said!^^


anyways... new footage of the Red Skull...

by the way... Dave... you´re only 50% right with your scheme assumption














cheers, vik

Nice base too!
50% right??

lol... remember this will be again a steampunk version of the old scheme of the red skull... so a little different it will be... but i think what i´ve planned you will see that this is the way to go...

well...the base...i´ve learned from some of the talentest basemakers here

His head will still be red tho right?

surprise, surprise....nope

nuff said... you´ll see later on and it will make sense^^

Oh my he is looking cool!!! xxx

Very efective way to put down hillights vik!!!!

at hazzer... that was the plan... i drybrushed the whole model and now i will repaint the not highlighted surfaces... so cross fingers for me that this will work as planned...

thanks bubble

What a difference a colour change makes, looks quite imposing with the pistol and not red

One mean looking Skull there!

Heavly wash it with badab black and rehilight thats what I did for the armour vent things on sarg theron and worked quite well!

at hazzer ...that´s exactly what i had planned to do...

well... seems dave was right 100% after all...


my original plan was to use copper paint as a means for a reddish color for the skull... to make sure the audience sees like me the steampunk connection...
unfortunatly my copper paint doesnt work...it is not dryed up... no... it just doesn´t guve that copper feel... so instead i went for mithril silver and after that i heaviyl washed the head with baal red... then a slight drybrush with that new gold drybrush color of GW... in the end i had to re- wash with baal red again as the highlights came out to strong... and also i aplied a bit of badab black to the skull for definition too...

some detailing...and currently we are here...:






sorry for these dark pics... i will make new one for the next update tomorrow... under daylight conditions!


cheers, vik

Yeah!
That looks pretty cool - the red is metallic and shiny (as far the photos allow to judge).
Really nice

thanks mate!... the wash over metalics methode can produce some nice effects... will show you this in way better pics tomorrow^^

That looks great Vik! That was a very creative and effective solution to the problem!

That's quite a nice colour you ended up with.

You could always steampunk his coat up a bit.
The pistol is already quite steampunk.
Maybe give him a monocle... How a skull uses a monocle though is beyond me.

Good job so far.

Looking very cool, like the shiny red, and as you know I'm always a fan of the pre-highlight approach (weety has a lot to answer for).

I think the copper not working is a blessing mate as that wash looks great keeps the red theme, this is going to be an evil looking bastard for sure the only thing is how you going to do the troops to tie in with him

He kind of reminds me of the martians with the fishbowl heads from Mars Attacks! I love it!
Looking good Vik!

it was my plan B anyway... but i really would have seen it done in copper... but it seems the gang loves this fortunate mishap^^

yeah it seems it is a blessing^^... as for how troops could tie in with him... welllllllll.... should i spill these beans so early? i ahve two options as to how to get them ready for the teamup... what were the classic followers/ henchman of the likes like Zemo, Strucker or Herr Schmidt?...well? ...

I don't really know.
A search of the internet didn't really help matters.
Google

There seems to be either many small buttons (difficult to do on this scale) or buckles (Which I don't think will fit on this coat).
There are a few with cogs on, but if he's meant to be a rival to Cap'n Viktory with his cog shield then you can't really use that either.

Maybe just some gold / bronze trim would do the trick?
