Forgeman Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Well not a lot of progress with this, I've been a bit busy the past few months unfortunately. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Sonnilion/BellyPlate.jpg Heavily influenced by the Forge World Great Unclean One this is the start of personalised chapter symbol. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Sonnilion/NeckBundles.jpg Wow, guitar wires. ;) http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Sonnilion/GroupShot.jpg I've decided that the storm bolter is too big, so I'll be making a smaller one that'll be less obtrusive. They are supposed to be smaller than bolters anyway which is something I should have thought about at the beginning but never mind it'll give me the chance to make it better.

Forgeman Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks ;) It has a lot of problems but I'm using this model as a stepping stone, highlighting the areas I don't consider properly so that in the future I'll make something I'm 99% happy with.

The_Chaplain Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 what is the model next to the huge greenstuffed ork? very nice so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgeman Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 It's an Inquisitor made using Covenant and Eisenhorn parts. They're all 54mm models but as you can see, my two tower over an ordinary, puny human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slah Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have to admit that i prefer it without helmet by far. Allthought the helmet is great in itself it´s positioned wrong on the model compared to the shot where you´ve just added the human head. The person in the armor would not be able to see out of the eyeslits at all. Also the head of a normal perosn would be positioned right where you´ve added all the cables to the neck, and not inside the helmet itself To make the helmet work it needs to sit a lot lower and a lot more recessed in the armor. At the moment it´s almost dog-like because of the long neck and massive proportions. Otherwise it´s a great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Plasticard Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I must say this looks really cool. The termie looks like a diving suit which is really what it should look like. I dunno...diving suit, what we frenchies call "un scaphandre"... Anyhow, keep going! It is looking awesome already :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Kharn Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 i can't belive it someone has successfuly made a true scale termie! :tu: nice work there but i would try bulking out the shin plates and the upper body other than that its great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgeman Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks for the comments :) Originally posted by Slah The person in the armor would not be able to see out of the eyeslits at all. The helmet is not designed to sit on the wearer's head, not in my version anyway. The helmet acts independantly of the wearer who can see a composite image of the suits various scanners, targeters and auto-senses projected into a wrap around screen in the helmet, so the eye lenses of the helmet are purely stylistic in that sense. That's just one half of the Sensorium though. Since the marine is directly linked to the suit through the Sensorium I would imagine he doesn't need to 'see' anything with his own eyes as he views the battlefield through the suit but I like the idea of the wrap-around screen as an aid so that a marine can actually view the battlefield in a more traditional manner if he choses to. Then again, maybe he sees a set of images from the rest of his squad since the Sensorium also links other terminator suits together so whilst he doesn't need to see with his own eyes out of his own suit he uses them to check up on what the rest of his squad are doing. Originally posted by Brother Plasticard The termie looks like a diving suit which is really what it should look like. Yeah, I really like the idea of that, it fits with the origins of exo-armour too. Since terminator armour is half way between powered armour and a dreadnought I prefer the thought that it isn't so much a worn suit but a semi-piloted machine. I see the link between a marine and his terminator armour as being far more sophisticated than the link with powered armour. Where normally a marine can rely on his armour to be like a second skin, terminator armour is more like a second body, which can use the marine's own brain to function, so the marine doesn't just wear terminator armour, he is the armour. Originally posted by Chaplain Khârn ...i would try bulking out the shin plates and the upper body other than that its great I think I'll probably be leaving the torso as it is, just blank armour plating, but I'll probably be adding an Aquilla (similar to the one on the metal terminator captain model) to one shin and I might leave the other blank to add some free-hand; I've never done any before so it'll be nice to use a big model to practice on.

The Nameless Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 firstly i just wanna say that i am very impressed with your work on this project so far Forgeman, and its not like you see too many true scale terminators around these days. but just as a thought, i was thinking that the back of the terminator, like above his head should be a little larger and more encompassing of the helmet like in the plastic models? and in the same vein that maybe his waist is a little too bulked out? but dont get me wrong, im not hating, im really very impressed with all of the effort and work you put into this, im just lending some of my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgeman Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 No worries, I know what you mean. The cowl or whatever you want to call it is deliberately set back, it was an alternate design I was looking at to then try at 28mm. It didn't end up looking quite how I wanted and I think next time I make some terminators at 28mm scale I'll make them with a more traditional design and save what I've learnt from this model for a chapter-specific armour for an elite squad.

Forgeman Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Salvé brothers! Well it has been a while. I've been slowly plodding away with this since July last year and finally I'm (almost) finished. I've some teetch to put onto his chapter icon and some little bits for his gauntlets but I'm that bored building this thing now I reckon it's time to stop and get some primer on. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Sonnilion/DSCF1910.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Sonnilion/DSCF1912.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Sonnilion/DSCF1925.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Sonnilion/DSCF1917.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
