Awesome :blink: must of been a nightmare removing those helmets :devil: Can't wait to see them It wasn't that bad...although, I had to rig up a vice system to hold the model down without damaging it while drilling the helmet remnants out. I was gonna post pics this eve, but our internet has been hit and miss, and I can't get anything uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw...we're still in school...our district is a little less 'reactionary' to sensationalized "pandemics". I'll try to get pics of the Vanguard up this evening if possible.

LunchBox Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 A little progress...the helmetless Vanguards, plus another standard Marine: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/currentwips.jpg And another joint project with Alex (Starks3333)...he did the conversion as far as sculpting the new fist...I added the swanky fist on the shoulder pad, and the laurel on the fist...actually, the fist desintigrated, so I resculpted the fingers as well. The power fist is redone to allow for a large banner...which is in progress as well. Not much don on that except for the base colors, and a little shading. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/stbearerwip1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchBox Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 A powerfist holding a banner, genius! It must have been tricky getting those water effects into that tiny space. The concept and conversion are Starks' brain-child. I just resculpted what he had already done, then added a few details to match my army, and cover a few rough spots. The water effects suck in person...like...really suck. I can't make any of the hard resin water work here, so I have to use one that cures like a bouncy-ball. That means I can't sand it smooth...I'm kinda stuck with however it settles. The base is a 2-part job...I added the platform after the water cured.

GumbaFish Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Does the hard resin not work there because its too hot or humid ? I never really thought about that, but then again living in the Northeast you don't really think about those things in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Pezz Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 One thing about your standard bearer guy is that he looks coked out of his mind from this photo. Can we get a close up of the face? Right now his pupils look way small, and I think it might be the angle/gamma on my monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just you, I see it too! :D Although it would be very cool if he were coked out! haha Looking good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Some of that is the sculpt...this is the 3rd GD '05 Marine I've painted, and they all look like that. Although, the sculpting material Starks used was a whitish color...perhaps I should inquire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milez Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am drawing great insperation from you models, btu I do have a question, the helmless vanguards, it looks like you recessed the area where the head is to form a cove, what tools do you use to do that?

LunchBox Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am drawing great insperation from you models, btu I do have a question, the helmless vanguards, it looks like you recessed the area where the head is to form a cove, what tools do you use to do that? It's pretty easy, but very difficult to get right. First, I had to buy 10 boxes of Vanguards. Then, I laid them all (yes, all 50) down on a fence board, with the helmets facing me. I stepped back to 30 meters, took careful aim, and shot into the bodies, aiming at the head of course, with a .22 pistol. Most of the minis were destroyed, but I managed to get 5 that knocked the head off clean, as if they were snipped off with clippers, and the bullet when in far enough to create a cavity to put the head in...much like if I had drilled it out with a metal drill bit. <edit> *Sorry, Milez...I just noticed you're new to the B&C...WELCOME! Being new, I should have spared you from my intensly sarcastic reply...it was more for the entertainment of those who do have the misfortune of understanding my personality. **I snipped the heads off, pinned the bodies down in a vice, and drilled the neck-holes out. Afterwards, I had to spend quite a bit of time scraping, and filing some jagged edges. ***You know, taken out of context...the statement above sounds very evil. I wonder if this comment will be unearthed when I run for President... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiplash Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 jeez luchbox i dunno what is more impressive the models or the witty remarks :P - and im being serious the guy does look like an actor from the power armored re-enactment of trainspotting :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milez Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thats ok man, I mess with people if I had your modeling and painting skillz too! But ad for the drilling part, I will assume you used a bit that is just smaller than the hole you wanted, then files and GS the rest in? and was the drill electrical or hand powered, like a pin vice drill?
