Skirax Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ok, here's the story behind him: I don't like the Kantor model, purely because the pose is too static IMO and I don't like the bling. I wanted to make a model like the one in the book, with him running and firing at the same time. So, with this idea in mind, I set out to make this: Hope you like him, sorry if the pics are blurry, and I am yet to paint him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlagueBearer Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think the milliput needs more work... Why not use a guitar string for the tubbing?It only needs drilling the holes and then sticking it in. It is easier and looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienerd Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Yeah, I'd recommend practising on the milliput first, mainly because the tube on Kantor has bullets coming through it, and I don't think your tube could. If you file down the abard when its dry, and maybe score some folds into it, it will help it look more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Ok thanks guys, two questions: How do you make folds, and where do you buy the guitar string - hobby shops or instrument stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad III Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Instrument stores so far as I know. But it seems to be lacking action... IMO it more seems like he's trundling along, that powerfist weighing him down. Do something with the powerfist arm, pose it better and maybe spread the legs more to make it look like he's in a dead run. Just some ideas ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodaid764 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The way his right arm is positioned I get the impression it is broken or paralyzed and he is just dragging it along. Im thinking there has to be a better choice for that arm. Sadly, most PFs are only left handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester_prince Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I would suggest not using milli put ive used it and its difficult to use, for your use i would suggest using greenstuff as its flexible. You could model greenstuff on the table, and then bend it tio shape on the model, it makes things like modeling wires and amunition feeds much easyer. As for the tabard there are hundreds of different places you could grab some, every sprue seems to have one or two. or if you must model one, start with a basic shape and let it dry then add soasages of green stuff and sculpt it it flow... here this might help http://www.cablenet.ne.jp/~japanime/tutorial/clothing1.html I know its aboutdrawing fabric, but the same rules apply to greenstuff and any sculpting. Ive found once i learnt these basic rules my entire drawing and sculpting style improved a thousand times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
