alejandrinus Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Here's my tutorial on how to convert a assault space marine torso to a mk IV, I already posted it in my WIP BA blog but i think this is a better place to share it. The pictures may seems a little rough, this is due of doing various thing at the same time :D , but if you take your time the end product would be smooth and look great once painted. Well less talk....

First fill with GS below the aguila, smooth the area keeping wet the your modeling tool,Its easier if you have at hand a rubber shaper. Then fill the chest aquila maintaining the level of GS under the belt *you can skip this last step keeping the aquila for variety When you do the first and feel confident you can batch modelling... STEP 3: More details (optional) With a little of GS and a mechanical pencil you can do rivetsFirst put a bit of GS, push the point of the mechanical pencil then carefully quit the excess of GS Be very patience with this... From left to right: - Normal mkIV Assault Marine Chest - Normal mkIV Assault Marine Chest with Aquila - Black Templar mkIV style(extended with plasticard before GS work) - Blood Angel mkIV style(GS pressmould) [clearfloat] I hope you find this useful, i'll try my best to write it and to be understable. Maybe next time when I refine the technique, i'll make another tutorial for MkIV legs.
