Hubernator Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yes I prefer the old scheme over the vampire style. (shudders at the idea of vampires and twilight) i agree the guy who play edward cousin or what ever his name is looks like a foot! grossly overrated films aside, im loving yout corbulo at the moment, looks as though he is really tough, the samiel body and termy legs reall have a good combo! well done Edward Cullen, and agreed to OP: my only real gripe is the arm the narthecium is on. Shouldn't the lower arm be shorter? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Made some solid progress tonight, started on the white, did some work on the gems, and some general touchups and details on the scrollwork. Can't find the cam right now so might have to wait till my girlfriend gets back from her holiday tomorrow night to post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Wow, sorry for the self-threadnomancy but I really did not expect that after my last post, instead of waiting a day to show you guys an update, it would be almost a year! Long story short, one of those truly horrible moments happened where, just after finishing a painting session on Corbulo, pleased with the progress, I picked him up to put him away safely in a box, only for that terrifying moment that we all dread to happen - he snapped off his base, fell to the floor, and shattered. To make matters worse, after searching for all the various tiny pieces to put him back together, his backpack, which I had converted specially simply wasnt to be found. It was, to say the least, demoralising. I bought another Apothecary to scrounge the backpack from, but I let the setback pretty much stop me in my tracks. I put all my blood angels models that i've been working on away in a box and promised myself that I would find the time to pick up the paintbrush again soon. I'm sure you know how it goes. Sometimes, work and life get in the way. A month ago I moved house, set up a new studio, and tonight for the first time in a while I found myself with a few free hours. Curious, I opened up my box of Blood Angels, and decided to bite the bullet and reassemble Corbulo and start on the long road to finishing him. Surprisingly, though I expected my technique to have suffered a lot from being out of practice, Things felt pretty smooth. So - consider this thread and project reopened. I'll get the camera out tomorrow and give a proper update. Apologies for the infernal delay, it feels good to be back and painting again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Threadcromancy can be forgiven if accompanied tasty WIP photos! :D Sorry to hear about what happened to your Corbulo, but good to have you back, lets see some more of that 2nd ed mojo!

Arsenal Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Ok - updates! Here he is in his current state, and with a shot of the new backpack in progress too. Very pleased with how the red armour is progressing, it has a textural feel to it that makes it seem grimy yet shiny, which is something from the Blanche painting that I tried to capture. C&C very much appreciated though - slowly trucking through. http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1666/corb2010update2.png Detail shot: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7029/corb2010update1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenal Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Just a quick update, with some horrible photos - please excuse - Corbulo is now on his base and heading into the final stages of painting - need to finish the backpack and some pipes and gems. Thanks for all the feedback so far - I'm finding it hard to photograph the detail on the armour, does anyone have any good tips for keeping the surface in focus? I'd appreciate it. Many thanks! http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6707/corbulo2010update3.png http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6242/corbulo2010update4.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Apostle Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Very very awesome, old school vibe about this whilst keeping the current 'heroic' proportions and details. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctus Cornix Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Dude the sheer epicness of this model is off the charts.Well done! I only have one tiny issue with Corbulo. He's got his foot on the corpse of a fallen brother, using him as a pedestal to stand on. That seems rather disrespectful when you think about it and i don't see Corbulo, of all people, wanting to dishonor his fallen battle brothers.

DarkMark Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 EIE ;) This is superb fella. I can only find two faults with the model. Firstly, I think you should have used a brown base for the hair's white, to help distinguish it from the other white bits. Secondly, are you going to colour the base at all? I think gold or dark brown would help frame it well. I've just started my display BAs, much like yours, and so will be keeping a eye on this. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenal Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 EIE :) Epic! No surprise at all we both naturally gravitated to collecting BAs is it :) And thanks for the tip on the hair. Point well taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
