Here's the iron halo

Went for the war torn look with the loin clothe, i have added some bits n bobs to the halo and to the suits sensors etc.





























Dave's not amused by your antics, not amused at all.

Superb craftmanship, how tall is he?

The more i look at his face the more i think he bears resemblance to Wayne Rooney. Poor fellow

Really like your work
Only thing 'bothering' me is how ornate his shinguards are, while the rest is 'plain'

It was something of a concern to me also henc the addition of the ultra skulls and banners to calm it down a bit i have added ornate bits of bling on the power claws and the torso, i plan to add some bling to the besagews to balance the upper and lower halves, i was goinfg to add a cape/cloak unfortunately i'm out of putty

what about resurfacing the shoe-horse on the right pauldron to have the same style as the ornamentation on the shins? Either that or put a rim on that pauldron and fill the inside area with the same kind of ornamentation, though i do agree that the besagews all gussied up will balance out the sculpt.

I agree Poda_t the pauldron might be an option alright. The back of Dave is sparse in the extreme the problem being a lack of available space, the back being largley taken up by the vents, the cloak/cape option seems the only way to go ....

Dave is mostly done hope you like

He does look a bad ass geezer!

I have to take a nap after looking at this thread.

pretty darn incredible

started painting Dave but haven't posted here as yet so here's a collection of all the finished bits so far, all varnished and ready to go. I can now concentrate on the main body and the head.

Best. Thing. Ever. Exalted.

You....you are my hero.

I want you talent and artistic drive.all I can manage is to play gtaV all day...

Make me one!

Woah, there's impressive.... then there's this. Truly awe-inspiring stuff. Can't fault this at all.

I don't think I've posted a recent full frontal teaser here, apologies for the poor quality they were taken in the workshop.















Nearly done just some fine tuning and of course the head to do.

Amazing

That is seriously the coolest space marine sculpture I have seen in a long time. I can't wait to see it when it it is truly in its final form. Awesome work, and well done!

Started to base Daves head I have mixed something myself which I feel approximates skin and I have based his whiskers and scalp etc looks dark at the moment and there are a couple of splodges but they will be airbrushed out when I flesh tone over it again. I was
messing with the idea of some Tyson like tats but then im not sure it really fits with the ultra smurfs more of a space wolves thing, so will see how I get on.

Just based that head looks hilarious. "Grr! I'm an army soldier an' I'm hardcore! Look at my stubble and pronounced brow! Grr!"

Keep it up, great stuff!

Dude your old pics are gone.

Yeah photobucket band width exceeded should be okay in a week or so. in the mean time I just opened up another account

Bit more done, rather than tat's went with the eagle on the forehead Greyknights/stargate jobby.





















Just have some flesh tone highlights to do and a bit of detailing in the eyes and mouth etc.

Dave is so awesome

Dave's got his head together lol, now just have to think of something to write on his cricket pads before varnishing and letting you lot loose with the critique.

Had a suggestion that Dave was missing something......

This is incredible...
Mind is blown.
