Metal Fingered Villain Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Its a very trial and error process that, a tutorial would help yes, but its more on you and the model your moulding and figuring out where vents need to be placed etc.. as you continue casting to get those perfect models.

Pulse Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Here we are with another small update, i haven't got time to put together these chaps together just now, so i have left my chaps under the supervision of a good friend, Apologist. <_< As you can see with the picture below, the Sergeant with the powerfist has a bolter to tie in well with the rest of the static combat squad, this will be changed in time to a normal arm with a normal pointing hand. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/WIP%20work/5man1.jpg The picture below shows the other 3 marines that make up the static combat squad, these chaps will be posed a tad better and will look as though they are laying down heavy fire for the other combat squad moving up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/WIP%20work/5man2.jpg Each marine has on him, two grenades, a combat knife and a small pouch giving them the feel of carrying the right equipment. ;) More pictures showing the advancing combat squad will added later. :) Edited March 19, 2009 by Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 fantastic idea, and fantastic execution. <_< I am VERY tempted to sculpt up some unique armour pieces (heads, Shoulder pads) and cast them en masse to add a theme to my army. I've never tried casting anything before, even though I've done plenty of research. Looks like you are using two part molds for everything. Mind spilling the beans on what resin/silicone company you are using, and if you use a vacuum chamber at all? cheers and keep us posted ;) - T14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 What happened with the Thunderhawk? Also, can we see an army pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Amazing work Pulse... nothing else to say ... just amazing. The armor plates are wonderful ... I wanna my IF´s with these armor !!!! Cheers Edited March 20, 2009 by Mau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Xenthor Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Absolutely amazing work! I'm jealous. :blink: When/if you get around to doing something up on the casting, you'll have to let me know. Ive been meaning to do something like that for my maine army...and it would save me a lot of time and money if i can just cast the part i need. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassarus Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 this is great stuff, your army is gonna look great once it's done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you are using two part molds for everything. Mind spilling the beans on what resin/silicone company you are using, and if you use a vacuum chamber at all? I not entirely sure what company it is as it is not me who actually picks it up, it is a friend of mine and the resin tubs come with no company logos on the stickers, but i can ask for you. I do know though the resin is Axson F31 or F32 (polyurethan resin), and yes i do use a vacuum chamber. :D What happened with the Thunderhawk? Also, can we see an army pic? The Thunderhawk just now is under my bed in three parts, tumbled off my desk after a freak warp storm (dog running into the desk) and it hit the deck. I will have to repair it in the next few weeks if i can and have it posted up (yes, i know i have said i will post it up before but i will get round to it). :D Amazing work Pulse... nothing else to say ... just amazing.The armor plates are wonderful ... I wanna my IF´s with these armor !!!! Thanks matey, i am very pleased with how the casts turned out, and how the models look posed as well! Absolutely amazing work! I'm jealous. ;) When/if you get around to doing something up on the casting, you'll have to let me know. Ive been meaning to do something like that for my maine army...and it would save me a lot of time and money if i can just cast the part i need. :D Hehehe i am glad you like them! Casting does save on money, although initially it can be quite expensive to get all the materials but it is worth it as it saves you money in the long term, plus you get a fantastically unique army! this is great stuff, your army is gonna look great once it's done! Thank you, i am slowly getting on top of this army now, so it shouldn't be too long until i get a fairly sizable force ready. :D Edited March 20, 2009 by Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmperorsChampion Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I like the poses of the new "static" marines. All too often marines suffer from their armor freezing up and looking completely generic and immovable. While you gave each marine the same equipment, they seem to be different in their movements/poses. Bravo! Can't wait to see more. (Oh also, casting tutorial would be a great addition....)

Doghouse Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Really nice work mate! I like the guy in the middle especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Apart from the disproportioned legs with the quads being way too short -- I like the end result here. The ML's right upper leg seems fine to me, but then his left has had a femur reduction of about 8 inches or so. Other than that the rest of the model is pure win. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmperorsChampion Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 @Master Toddius: I think its the angle of the photo, I believe the left leg is coming towards the photo, making it appear to be very short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) @TheEmperorsChamp: You got it right matey, the left leg is coming towards the photo. :thanks: Edited March 22, 2009 by Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) RESERECTED!!!!!!!! Anyway - back due to popular demand (and people nagging me), i am here. :angry: Not much really to post just now, just a leg update - making the thigh a little longer, something that has been bugging me for ages. Now the legs are in proportion. :angry: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/WIP%20work/P1160578-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/WIP%20work/P1160579-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/WIP%20work/P1160580-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/WIP%20work/P1160581-1.jpg Stay tuned to see a mk8'd dreadnaught. :( Edited November 22, 2009 by Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VorpalPoolNoodle Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have to say, I'm really liking these, especially with the chapter name! I have a small Tzeentchian warband (counts as Thousand Sons) called the Silent Legion that was originally company from a loyalist chapter called the Star Lords. My color scheme was mainly Warlock Purple, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
