Thanks :)

 

Wolf Shield is still a Work in Progress, we will be making a few changes.

 

The Wolf Rhino Armor is more a canvas to be sculpted on. I do think people may want to buy it as is, but we are going to use it to do many different rhino kits on, the current one to be done is Wolves as soon as I get this master molded.

 

Number pads. I tried my best, its very difficult to get the detail you want at that level. I think once its molded and painted there wont be any issues as unless you are 2 inches away the detail is great.

 

Here are more shots of the Salamander Land Raider :)

How the hell do you do that?!?!?!?! I'm awful, seriously awful, at green stuff! I need a tutorial from you!

Why thankyou :)

 

I put in lots of work into the LR sculpt and the other things (except the wolf shield).

The segmented rhino platings were an idea I once got since I missed pre heresy looking rhino addons. Thus this general design.

I´ll redo it with more things added on it too.

 

Here is a WIP of Landraider door art I´m working on at the moment, I hope it will go well with the dragon-ish landraider extra armour and addons I did so far:

My thought was an angel (wings) of death (robed skeleton) with a big flamer on one side of the land raider.

On the otehr side well, that is still a surprise:)

Fantastic, utterly brilliant. But how do you do it?! I find GS so hard to work with, how do you get the shapes so perfect?! like the end of the flamer, its so square and neat!, and the wings. If I understand correctly its best to make the rough shapes first, then when its dry enough, like after an hour, you can then add the detail and get the right shapes,is that right?

Well, its all about cheating actually.

You cant "just" sculpt a complex shape since you constantly deform what you sculpted before so short steps and details added after the previous are dried and even then you might want to sculpt a shape and ruin what is inside it to fill it in anew when the outer shape has dried.

Its time consuming and drains imagination since you must find ways around problems all the time.

 

So my recommendation is you make a rough shape that at least has correct outer lines/surfaces and let it fry completely, then remove the parts that arent perfect and repeat the process.

Oddly enough its the things that look the simpliest that are the hardest to do, the segmented rhino addons I made are actually the third complete set I made and not before then I was satisfied with the end result. each failure lead to learning to do the next one better and with time you become better at this.

when I look at the early sculpts I made I´m horrified of how ugly they look and in two years time I´ll be equally horrified by the things I do (did) today.

 

Hope my crappy explanation helped some at least :devil:
