I've been working on a Stormboy Nob for a bit and I finally glued it together. I'd just like to know what people think of it thus far and any pointers they might have.

Very very awesome!

Looks fantastic.

It's a bit difficult to tell how much detail you have put on the white pieces, but I think they will need a little bit more greebling to blend in with the GW bits seamlessly. Some dents and notches cut into the fins, a few reinforcing struts joining the rocket to the shoulder plates and a bunch of rivets will probably do the job.

At the current time, I haven't put any details on the main rocket body. I wasn't to get the basic pose and what-not done first before I go about adding bits and gubbins to the model. If I needed to tear it apart, I'd want as little to be at risk of being damaged as possible.

A nice, easy touch might be to put some goggle on him- just get two tiny balls of green stuff, put them over his eyes, and squish them down in the center, so a divet forms where the "lens" is.

It helps make the standard nob head look like it belongs with the stormboyz

I agree with DaisyWondercow with adding the goggles on the model. But love the look of your storm boyz

I might do the goggles, but I was really feeling a sort of military cap for this nob. (Sorta like the one on the boy) I could always do the cap and then put a set of goggles on top, and I think that would look pretty neat.

I think that just means you're more ambitious than I am! Goggles are about the height of my green stuff ability

Well, here he is. He's got a hat with goggles now. I still need to get some sand paper and smooth out the hat and work the goggles down a bit, but I think it's looking shockingly good. I might actually have some talent for green-stuff.

Excellent work! The little divet in the top of his hat is a nice, subtle touch.
