jah-joshua Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 hey B&C... here is a little commission build... my first attempt at sculpting!!! what a pain in my backside... i really don't like working with greenstuff, but i had to tackle it at some point... not having to start from scratch was a big help... this guy is a combination of a Dark Angels body, the original metal Mephiston, and greenstuff pressmoulding and sculpting... this is what the customer requested, a new version of the old model, sans mullet... a little more action in the pose, a little better hairdo, a little scarier... switching the weapon hands made all the difference, as now he looks like he is shooting the plasma pistol instead of just standing for a photo... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/wips/Mephiston1.jpg the full 360 view is in the gallery here: http://coolminiornot.com/244106 i learned a lot about what NOT to do on this piece... hopefully one day soon i will tackle a Space Wolf, a la Vincenti, but for now i'm just happy i can get on to painting this guy... hope you like him... thanks for lookin'... cheers jah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Mike Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Where is that head from? I see it quite often. A very nice sculpt, very impressed by the detail on the chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammeron Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Very, very nice indeed. Always loved Mephiston, but felt that his model could use some "modernizin'" as the Orks would undoubtedly say. I like the fact that you've emphasised the "vampire" theme; it's one I've always wanted to see a bit more of from The Blood Angels. Excellent work.

Sassmaw Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Looks great. There are a few mistakes on the two shoulder pads (that may just be the pics on CMON) but overall fantastic job especially for your first sculpting project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David the Despoiler Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Where is that head from? I see it quite often. A very nice sculpt, very impressed by the detail on the chest. Khorne Berzerker Skull Champion head, about 4 in each box. And very well done miniature, I can't wait to see it painted! Shouldn't this be in WIP though?

IronKobra Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I really like this man! This guy is one of my fave characters in the 40K universe and I would be proud to have something like to represent him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah-joshua Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 thanks guys... @Captain Mike: the head is indeed the Khorne Berzerker, as David said... i don't really deserve any credit for the chest, as it's just a pressmould... @David the Despoiler: it's a finished sculpt/conversion, so i thought it fit in the Hall of Honor... @Sassmaw: what mistakes are you seeing??? unfortunately, i'm moving house in the next week, but i'm still painting while we pack... that means there will not be any WIP shots of the painting... just the finished product in a couple weeks... see ya then... cheers jah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 thanks guys... ... i don't really deserve any credit for the chest, as it's just a pressmould... I must learn how to do that. Would allow for all kinds of opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 thanks guys... ... i don't really deserve any credit for the chest, as it's just a pressmould... I must learn how to do that. Would allow for all kinds of opportunities. Push putty on detail for mould. Push putty in set mould. Remove set cast from mould and cut away the excess. Stick on model. Done.

Midnightmare Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I remember following the original wip thread, he turned out really great :) pity he is not painted yet man! I stole your idea of press moulds for my chaplain btw, thanks jah ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
