Brother Loring Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Very nice, he looks superbly battle-worn yet pristine as a marine should do! I really like the NMM on the storm bolter.

Dark Sensei Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Impressive work ! Out of personnal experience, I think it'll be much easyer to work with Milliput (the Yellow / grey one, the package with the red writing) for all the armour work, easyer to file and t work with sandpaper than GS. It would give you sharper edges (thinking about the shoulderpads especially). Congrats for the tough job ! I would not have the patience ann even less the talent.

Doghouse Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 He looks even better finished (just found this via the link in your WIP thread :P ). Love the face and the weathering especially and the Mk III legs are really nice. Brilliant stuff! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/185579-actual-scale-blood-raven-captain/#findComment-2194929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin .44 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Awesome! It is quite an amazing model, I take my hat off to you! I have one concern, Are you sure that jump pack could lift him? :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/185579-actual-scale-blood-raven-captain/#findComment-2194978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Thanks all, especially the primoginator of actual scale... doffs metaphorical cap to doghouse... :lol: Responses: Dark Sensei - I have two boxes of the stuff, I find it too sticky and fiddly to manipulate so only use it very rarely if at all... but to each their own... Twin .44 - Could it really lift a normal sized space marine?? that is the question... :( Laterz all...

Dark Sensei Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Did you try watering it a bit ? may sound like a weirdo's question but I know some GS practitionner that didn't even think that was possible when trying Y/G for the first time. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r226/Dark-Sensei/Sculpted%20stuff/ganteletdeathwatchwip005.jpg From Allan C, hmmm have to think about mailing that one to see what's next 8) Y/G makes smooth surfaces and sharp angles and that's a must for armour.

Luku Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 To avoid the 'rounding off'of GS, use a 50/50 mix of GS and Milliput.....works a charm...

Terrible_Trygon Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Could just use Brown Stuff. It's like green stuff but is generally smoother and sharper to work with, and is no where near as sticky.
