Disruptor_fe404 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 First Tsurugi for the win. I'm particularly interested in the heads. The first one is a bog standard helmet, filed for profit?

Brother_Beork Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Small beginnings, 'zerker head is getting some eye extensions: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_6875.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_6882.jpg As I knew the basic shape I wanted I just took a piece of plasticard for the body of the extension. Will be cut to perfect shape once the glue is dry. Then I'll drill out an area to put the lenses in. He also got his mohawk redone and in case no one notices, I filled up the small recess in the front of the mohawk and scribed it out again in an inverted V folowing the contours of his helmet. Yeah, photos still aren't perfect. But they are getting better.

X-Slash-X Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Just thought I'd give the thread a nice bump, to encourage feedback. I'm really liking the look of the helmet, brother. The mohawk is looking pretty spot-on. Just a question, have you made any progress into the Sword yet? I've been thinking a little aout whether I truly want the half chain/half power weapon setup. The more I look at Cloud's compleyed sword (Using all 6 blades), the more I like that design. Which do you think would be easier to achieve? I'd like your feedback on this, as I'm not quite sure which would look better. Perhaps the input of the community would help also. What do you think guys?

Brother_Beork Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Agh, sadly I have had precious little time to do anything other than work and sleep lately... On the sword, I'd like to build the half half blade anyway, so I will. The six blades in one sword? that's the big cleaver right? shouldn't be to hard, although I don't have a front view so I don't know exactly how it should fit toghether. Do you envision it as a single piece sword or as a sword with multiple layers (layer per sword part added)?

Disruptor_fe404 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The First Tsurugi in all its glory. I'd suggest working from here. The trick would be to not make the sword too thick by getting carried away with layers.

X-Slash-X Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 If it's all good with you, doing both sounds alright, as I'm still unsure which one I want in the end. As for the 6-in-1 (aka First Tsuragi), I'd say just make the basic shape with similar detailing to the images. There's no need to have the layers, as I don't want the sword to be made up of 6 blades, fluff-wise. I just like the segmented, techy feel to it.

Brother_Beork Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Smal update, haven't had to much time due too the kids, wife, arranging our marriage (not due for another year, but a lot to take care of). I added a foot, some wiring and a spaced armour plate. The plate is set 0,3mm from the greave on two a bit extended 0,3mm strips of styrene. The plate is also 0,3mm styrene. Tomorrow I'll add pictures of the head which is practically finished and hopefully a mock-up of the sword. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding008.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding011.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding029.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding031.jpg Beork Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170114-black-hands-captain/page/2/#findComment-2050890 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NemFX Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Looking good so far. I have a suggestion if you'd be interested.. If you want to make a marine based off Cloud, you could build a two handed handle for a sword, then get a wing from the new Valkyrie..

Drexsun Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Brother_Beork, I like the build thus far.. I will have to keep coming back to check up on it..

Brother_Beork Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Rough mock-up of the sword, I like it. You need to use your fantasy a bit to finish it, but hte idea is clear I hope. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding038.jpg I need to sharpen the edges of the power weapon part, and make another lay-on for the other side (the ladder thingy you can see) and this one need to be detailed up a bit. In between the two sides I might put some cables or something... or maybe not, a spaced blade is something cool as well. And for the head (just needs a bit more GS and some small wires) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding048.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding050.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding055.jpg Ye Gods, I need to learn to take better pictures.

X-Slash-X Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Good work, Brother, it keeps getting better as it goes. As for the sword, I think having some cabling/mechanisms inside the Chain part would look good, with the Power part being empty. What do you think?

Brother_Beork Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Slow and steady wins the race (well, not the race maybe, but at least something). Minor update, have been putting a rim on the greave: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding083.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding085.jpg And an edge on the sword, also added some wire. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding090.jpg I have been thinking about the sword a lot and trying out some things. As there will be a partial covering exposing internal stuff, it would be hell to paint. So I had some ideas I liked and some I discarded. Just when I finally had an idea (the original, how ironic) that I liked and thought would work, it seperated into two ideas. Either put the covering on like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding092.jpg or like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/Afbeelding097.jpg X-slash-X will have to choose. I don't know which I like best. Internal mechanisms still have to be added of course, I want to have the covering fitted on one side before attempting to add the guts. Ideas?

X-Slash-X Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've sent you a message, brother. Otherwise, looking very nice! The details of what I like are in the message, but suffice to say, I'm glad I commissioned you to do this. It's turning out great, unlike my previous endeavour a few years ago with Scibor.

Marshal van Trapp Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 wow i love that sword but it looks MASSIVE, any way to get a size comparison with the marine itself? it looks like he could barely hold that monster (well if he didn't have augmented strength :evil:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170114-black-hands-captain/page/2/#findComment-2063338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Beork Posted August 29, 2009 Author Share Posted August 29, 2009 Sword internals are being added: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7639.jpg There might yet come more tubes in the lower middle part, but I'll glue these first to see how they look. This ok slash? Really small start on the powerfirst: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7644.jpg I removed parts of the fingers to add open cables, which are badly visible as I only had the gauge I wanted in transparent. There wil be more open details and mechanics soon. Also a stormbolter. And the legs, both rimmed now and the right with added wires and stuff to show it's bionic nature. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7650.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7652.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7657.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7658.jpg Rivets are to be added tonight, and the rim on the left leg is going to be shaved a bit a sit's a tad thick now.

Brother_Beork Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Did some rivets: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7662.jpg This is how I want to continue, is that ok slash? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Commissions/Black%20Hands%20Captain/100_7662-2.jpg I also would like to add more body to the sword to hide the transition from chain to power blade a bit more. Or do you like it as it is? I remember you saying you might like a giant cleaver better? (the other cloud sword) is that thought still hanging around? because then I'll whip up a prototype.

X-Slash-X Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 The rivets look good. You have my thumbs up to go ahead with your layout. As for the sword, I think you're right about it needing some kind of cover between the chain and power blades. I'm keen to see what you come up with. I am still of two minds about which sword I really want. If you are willing, you can make a prototype of the other one. If you do, would you mind making it without the chain part? I think it would look better that way.
