Combat_Vet Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Greets, I've really enjoyed building this guy. However, the arms are killing me. Anyone have any hints on how to make true scale arms? http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010783.jpg I gave up on the thunder hammer. I need a lot more practice with GS before I do that kind of detail. he will be armed with a power mace and a storm bolter.

Lestat Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Could you post some pics of what you have done so far on the arms. That way we can give you more specific advice. Looks good so far though! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159333-my-wip-heresy-era-terminator/#findComment-1867580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Looks good so far. Arms aren't that much different to legs. Get some plastic tube of an apropriate diameter and cut two sections (fore-arm and upper-arm). Build up an elbow piece out of GS or use termi elbows, then attach the termi hands to the end. Use a bit of GS to add some details to the arms if desired, much in the same way you've done with the legs.

gdeathlegion Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 First, consider where his neck is in proportion to where his shoulders must be. You'll need to lower the shoulders and create bulkier pads on his terminator suit, think uber-gothic. Also, if you are assuming that this truescale model is more proportionate to humans and less proportionate to a standard space marine figure, you should remember that his hands should extend half way down his upper thigh when held at his sides to be homo-sapien compatible. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159333-my-wip-heresy-era-terminator/#findComment-1868376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Greets, Today, while working on my Rune Priest, I thought I'd have another go at my pre-heresy terminator. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010811.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/P1010812.jpg I couldn't get the thunder hammer to look right, so I decided to try a MC power weapon. Any thoughts on what to do to to make it better? Does the weapon work with the mini? And is it wolfy enough?

Vash113 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Pretty darn good, I'd suggest turning the Power Mace slightly to the guy's right and angled down so it looks more at rest, right now the pose looks a little awkward and the weapons get in the way of the sight of his torso and that detail work.

Grimfoe Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 It's fine work. Very nice. The pose is a bit awkward and I'm not sure the shoulders are low enough. I might try to rework that area. Once you do that, you may be more happy with the arms in general. Good luck.

Vassakov Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm not a fan of the mace, to be brutally honest... It just doesn't fit the Wolfish style. Try something more feral, that's a bit Elesarchial for my tastes.

Castus Xanthis Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Try a giant axe, like the one the bloodthirster has. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159333-my-wip-heresy-era-terminator/#findComment-1892250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I like the mace, especially on a WGBL. Germano-nordic warriors used some giant mauls back in the day. It wasnt a common weapon, but oh gods was it an effective one. I agree with the mace moving a little to the veiwers right. Do you want him to have a stormbolter? I always go with a combiweapon personally but.... *shrugs*. Nice work.

Cry Havok Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Looks great so far, but all I can say is PLEASE make the arms longer, think about where you can reach down your leg, because he looks like he couldn't reach his belly-button :P Aside from that I'd say one of the best true-scaled marines, termi or otherwise, that I've seen yet. Well done! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159333-my-wip-heresy-era-terminator/#findComment-1892584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage_heathen Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 i realy like the model, but i think the arms let it down a little bit, they need to be a tad longer realy, the mace is good, but as otehrs say needs a little bit of reagustment on its angle, slightly down and to the right so that it shows more of his chest and looks more at ease.

konskrypt Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 WOW!!!!! Do have to agree that the arms need to be a tad longer though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159333-my-wip-heresy-era-terminator/#findComment-1892999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 OK, the arms will go! :D I think I can make a decent attempt now that I've practiced with another mini. I'll give it a shot and post some pics when I can. Thanks for the help.
