DaPheel Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hell to everyone at the B&C. This is my first post on this forum, and i'm just looking for ideas for finishing this space marine captain. I was wondering whether to use ribbon or chain coming down his spear, and looking for ideas on parts + placing for extra detail. All C&C welcome. Cheers! http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/captain_front.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/captain_left.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/captain_right.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/captain_back.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumbaFish Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I like to overall pose and the use of the parts so that it appears there is movement in the cloth parts of it. I think if you are choosing between ribbon/parchemnt or chain I would suggest the ribbon/parchment as you could further carry this movement over to his weapon. The piece on the bottom end of the shaft looks a bit large, or is it there to give the weapon balance so its not overly weighted towards one end. I think removing that piece or replacing it with something smaller might be worth thinking about, other than that I like it and look forward to seeing what you come up with.

DaPheel Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks for the feedback amigo! I've now replaced it with a smaller spike and it looks much better, here's some more pics- http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/f2.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/l1.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/b1.jpg http://i670.photobucket.com/albums/vv64/dapheel/r1.jpg Just a few purity seals to add and a bit of greenstuffing to do.

GumbaFish Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I agree I think it looks much better with the new piece on there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 personaly i think the shield is a bit small. space marines are powerful in strength, just look at that spear. now compair it to the sheild, do they equil each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 personaly i think the shield is a bit small. space marines are powerful in strength, just look at that spear. now compair it to the sheild, do they equil each other? I dunno. Typically, spearfighters on foot would use a shield of buckler-size, at most. The shield is appropriate as-is, and I suspect ti was chosen more for the design on the front than the size of the armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Matthias Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 @ ShinyRhino: I dunno, have you seen the size of a roman soldiers shield? And besides, he IS a space marine. He can use something bigger. I think it's a good conversion anyway. EDIT: Just remembered that Romans had pilums, not spears. oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are referring to spartans who used giant bronze circular sheilds (well bronze coloured anyway from memroy) and a spear and they are basicly what a human can become without having to become marine. spartans after all are most likely human marines (after all, the event the movie 300 was based on was a true event in history where the spartans took a huge toll on the persians. shows better training and terrain controls makes numbers worthless) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Erm no shiny rhino is right among the roman legions there were auxiliary troops some of which were armed with a shield and indeed a small buckler type round or oval shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
