Starks333 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Well this log is essentially for any and all non TT level figs so basicly figs that arent painted for the "army" I will be jumping back and forth between this one and the rest of the army......also in the later months keep in mind I may be painting non BnC minis so wont update as frequently... for now the figs that i have in mind are(in no particular order) -Azrael converted -witchhunter inquisitor(female) -terminator librarian converted -IG techpriest converted -battle scene/diorama between a renegade IG and marine first off we have(god awful) pics of a conversion of Azrael...this camera's battery is low and i have to wait till it drops down fully to recharge so....ya.... he will be painted as an Angel of Redemption, as I initially built him for http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/BnC%20Figs/100_5277.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/BnC%20Figs/100_5278.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_bunny Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 looking awsome so far... does the helmet come off then? looks weird on the angle... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/#findComment-1669855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 it hasnt been glued i wanna paint his head first...the point of the helmet is its tilted back...i wanted him to have the helmet while still being able to see his face...also from the rear it looks wicked with the wings :P...the point is hes screaming, so its like he lifted his helmet to scream a command(i dont care if they have comms, screaming in the flesh is cooler) its a VERY normal position for a helmet to be in(if you've ever worn a football helmet, or other large full helmet, you will know its a natural and often occuring thing :P) i was GSing some small parts of the other pieces and will work them seperately until enough is done i can attach them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/#findComment-1669861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestin Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 While they not only have comms but probably voice-amps for when screaming battle cries to curdle the blood of their enemies, I agree that there would likely be a far more visceral effect when showing off the primal power of a space marine's lungs. Let him tear his helmet off to scream at his foes, let his voice be yet another weapon in his arsenal!

Starks333 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 god i need the tripod back....i have no way of setting him up to take smooth pics without it!!!....rawr... anywyas not much more time spent painting, only really another 30mins, i was screwing around mostly..trying to figure out colours and stuff i need to GS the gap between the arm and shoulder pad as it didnt rejoin as smoothly, and of course repair the F**** sword again, because i dropped it and it broke for the 42nd time the arm and helmet are only preshaded thus far, i havent laid down any basecoats, or anything yet, so they will get the split scheme and the wings painted diff colour and so forth http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/BnC%20Figs/100_5291.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/BnC%20Figs/100_5296.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Starks3333/40k/BnC%20Figs/100_5293.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/#findComment-1670653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 So Ive changed the end plan, but the main plan continues, converting in progress: "mini giveaway/exchange" plan can be viewed here: http://canadian-team.com/viewtopic.php?t=750 Libby: removed a lot of extra details, scrolls from top of back and leg, crux from knee, other detail from leg, and the keys and scrolls thatwere covering his robe... book will be removed from his shoulder pad to thin him down, hes a very bulky mini...i might attach his back mount(book thing) on a taller pole to lift it off of him to keep him looking less bulky...the staff will be added to and extended, and the other weapon will be a cool sword Im already liking the look of him without all those details Termie Captain: just getting a simple weapon swap, and sculpted hand and handle on the shield(lysanders shield) Techpriest: hes getting the weapon swap, i might redo it differently as its not jiving with my original idea...ive removed some details covering his robe as well, and will give him a backpack like the one on Inquisitor Lorr http://bioniccow.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/100_5324.jpg http://bioniccow.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/100_5323.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/#findComment-1676285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 as i wait for my new brushes to come in to replace my worn out one im working on sculpting i was originally working on a 54mm version of this, but with the change to the rules for GD, and other things ive changed plans and am now working on a 28mm version QUESTION- should i remove the armour belt and soften the crotch guard and simply use "soft" materials there like the robe and corset? and the soft belt over top? the crotch guard is a bit off centre right now and would need fixing anyways http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Sculpting/000_1533.jpg Inspiration for pose http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Sculpting/d0_1_b.jpg But with newer style get-up, with my own twist http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll18/BionicCow/Sculpting/sister.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144031-starks-stuff/#findComment-1695771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Fingered Villain Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The posture is dead on, but I think the legs, thighs in particular are much too thick, especially if you are going to want to sculpt some details on the armour and such. but a little carving and sanding can fix that right up. I was wondeirng when it would be before starks tried his hand at sculpting. This should be good.

Brother Gothard Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I agree with MFV about the thighs, but I think they are just not shaped correctly. That is, thickness is good, but not in the right spots. Take a look at some shots of athletic women in ready poses. Especially useful is profile shots of doing lunges (http://www.netfit.co.uk/assets/bb_front_lunge_a.jpg) You can clearly see the curve in the back of the leg. That's the kind of shape you want to be aiming for for the back of the thigh. Similarly, the inner thigh should do the same. It looks like you've got the right shapes on the inner thigh, but I think that raised leg needs some work.
