http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net So ive been looking for a large backpack for my long distance vets/tomorrow's war squads, anyway i couldn't find any... so i bashed out one like this.

Any feedback would be great, especially because the GS's still wet and i can pull it off if i need to.







Thanks for looking]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116041.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116060.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116060.page GMT The plastic bit meshed into the GS is sticking out in the top shot, and in the back.

Keep going, mate ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116088.page GMT
If anything, I would suggest that you pick up a pack of clay-shapers, they will do wonders to smooth out during sculpting. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116183.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116183.page GMT

Sorry, Im using the GW sculpting tool, i had a look at the sculpters, but i think that if i was good enough i could do that with the tool i have.

Or maybe not, do you use clay shapers? do you have any wips that show their capability?

plus would surgical gloves stop prints? Ive found spilling superglue does but thats a tat wasteful imo!

Thanks for the comments and help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116779.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116831.page GMT
Im glad for some feedback on the height, Im six-five and bergans have always seemed small to me and massive on others. - I even make op telic bags seem small!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5116892.page GMT FW tips talked about using a brush to smooth out the green stuff as an alternative to clay shapers. Never tried it.

You can do anything with a full set of clay shapers. Look at almost any professional model - I guarantee that they were used at some point. I highly doubt even GW sculpts are made using their own tools

Also, once you finish modeling the GS, take a knife/your tool what have you, dip it in water and use it to smooth off your finger prints. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5117042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5117042.page GMT GS!
I totally agree with your comment about GW. plus I think they make them 3x larger so they're easier somehow.?.

More Dakka, smaller height-wise, or 'thinner'? Because looking back I do see how the pack is bigger than the dude's waste!
Regarding the knife, that makes a lot of sense, its just when im smoothing it, im holding another part, so its all a bit cat-and-mouse... should i maybe stick it with a pin and hold it from that?

Again thanks for all the comments.

Boy, Im glad I joined Dakka!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5117153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496891/5117153.page GMT
