-Brutus- Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 mmh... so here I am, sitting here after some sculpting with the wonderful feeling of having made some progress and then I see this :) ...and now it feels like I have a long way ahead, creating an impressive army like yours! Amazing stuff!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 you all thought this (and me, probably) was dead... you were wrong :P ive been away for a few months, doing ork commissions and generally being a lazy git, thugh the time has come round for me to turn to my world eaters again. ill be starting work on the land raider again soon, though in the meantime - im making master parts for a terminator and making moulds so i can cast the bitz i made myself (legs, torso and shoulder pads). here's the progress so far: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_01.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_02.jpg the terminator shoulder pads. im pretty pleased with the casting ,though small part of the mould broke off on the second go, so i have to carve part of the detail on one pad corner by hand, though im not too worried about that. im pleased with the overall result; pretty crisp detail, no severe air bubbles (ive had a lot wors with FW) and easily shaped. tomorrow, i start work on the torso. to anyone who remembers, itll look like this (with some extra detail): http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1074-1.jpg i ordered some lead guitar strings so hopefully those will be arriving soon and ill be able to use them for cabling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synapse Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 and 736 posts later... im back :) http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_03.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_04.jpg im fairly pleased with the work so far, though i guess i wont know for sure until i do the legs and arms and i see the hole thing together. i was initially going to make it from GS (well, grey stuff) but realised i wanted sharp edges on it, so i made a grey stuff skeleton and then built up around it with plasticard. i might add some GS to the chest to make it a bit rounded, though other than that the basic shape is done, and ready for detailing, i just need to do the lower back and the 'roof' though that will have to wait until tomorrow. i also started work on the frame for the legs on top of which GS will be added in layers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synapse Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 update on terminator master-model chest http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_05.jpg pretty pleased with this so far. i know its not perfectly symmetrical but its close enough fro me and should hold up pretty well under casting. i was a bit worried about the neck cavity, though have devised an appropiate angle in which to cast it which means there should be any under...whatever you call it :P the rubber moulds and resin casting material should mean the socket joint in the hips (which i havent done yet as i have to finish off the legs first) wont be a problem to get cast, as ill be doing the thing in one piece... at least that's the plan. we'll see. as long as the master stays in one piece i can always make another 3-piece mould. we'll see ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Mike Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Perfectly sculpted, gritty and bloody. And the guard are fantastic. But... and I NEVER thought I'd say this... they look a little TOO big! Maybe if you had left out the spacers on the legs. But they are great nonetheless.

Doghouse Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 hey :) always nice to get a reply from you. up to any truescale goodness lately? I haven't done anything wargaming-wise in a while now, bit tied up at the moment. Always got time to check in and see what you're up to though mate. :D The army is looking great, I'm really looking forward to seeing the completed terminators. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 update on terminator: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_08.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_09.jpg why oh why do the legs always look squatter on camera? oh well... legs are almost done. just need the ablative armour on the legs and piping behind the knees and hip joins and addition of armour plate on hip. then theyre ready for casting. that is one of two heads ill be using - the other being the same helmet but without bionic eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 O.O Wow, synapse. Dare I say I finally see proportions among a space marine terminator miniature? Good god that is a huge terminator. A whole squad of those would be intimidating as heck to have bursting from a land raider or simply walking up the field. Casting you say... I don't suppose you will *looks behind* in effect be creating your own true-scale terminator kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 yeah, ill be casting the bodies, heads, legs and shoulder pads for these (basically everything im making myself) and the normal marines once i get round to making them too, and will order things like arms weapons, backpakcs accesories etc to finish them off.

Alienerd Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 If you do cast em, and do move into selling a few sets, I'd buy one, cos they are definately well made and tha chaplain, is amzing, is everyone else is saying. I personally would probably ed u with one leg too bi and another too small if I ever attempted anything like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 just the scratchbuilt parts, but yeah drop me a PM and let me know what you want one last update on the torso before its cast: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/Ter_10.jpg i addded the fiddly annoying oval thing with 2 circles inside it thats common to most suits of terminator armour. i could have done without it but thought it would be a nice little detail. at the moment it looks a bit grotty, with lumps and strings of half dry poly cement over it. but a quick shave with a scalpel will soon fix that. all thats needed now is to trim some detail off the belt and fill in the holes with putty before its cast.
