BurningQuestion Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hello all, After looking at some of he amazing true scale marines on the forum I'm toying with the idea of creating a true-scale marine kill team of around 6-10 minis. I think I've all the bits but I can't seem to find anything about bulking up the weapons. it may be out there and i'm too stupid to see it... I know it may not be necessary but I've mocked up a few of the larger weapons below. I was trying to go for bulkier rather than bigger though I not sure if I managed it. These will give me a bit more of an idea of sizes. The extended bolter will give me a bit more flexibility on how to fit the arms on minis holding it in both hands. I'm working on the special weapons next so any comment and criticism on these guys is most welcome http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu145/Pyre-Studios/True%20Scale/Bolters.jpg Best BQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningQuestion Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Spent the rest of the afternoon working on the first Scout. I tacked it together to see how it looks pre-GS. The arms will need to be adjusted and I'm not sure about the bolt pistol http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu145/Pyre-Studios/True%20Scale/Scout.jpg Best BQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 This stuff looks great! Love the scout, he reminds me of my wolf scouts, though I used Catachan legs rather than Greenstuff and beastmen arms: Looking forward to seeing the finished team, Fowlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningQuestion Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Man... Catachan legs... why didn't I think of that :) Those look awesome, I particularly like the poses you achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 hmm... allitle con-crit.... you might want to add a midsection to him, as it is now, this scout is very wierdly build. his chest under the armor will be resting just onto his legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningQuestion Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Many thanks Carnosaur! This is exactly the type of comments I'm hoping to get. I've added about a half-inch to his midsection and roughed in the first pass of GS. Tomorrow I'll file it down a bit and finish it up. The backs of the calves need a bit of smoothing out and I'll add in the straps, The channels for which I pressed in with the back of a chainsword. This may all turn out to be beyond my GS ability but nothing ventured ... I'll also need to figure out what to do with is back. The plan was to use the back torso from the vehicle acc' sprue and add a small "battery pack" but now there's this big ol' gap there. It'll need some thought. http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu145/Pyre-Studios/True%20Scale/ScoutGS.jpg BQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 :) looking much better now :cuss iam looking forward alot to seeing your marines, and how you are gunna make them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hwarang Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hey man these look good. Carnosaur is right that it looks much better now with the bulked up torso. However, I think bulking up the weapons may have the effect of diminishing the marine. The weapon is the only size reference piece on a true scale marine, and bulking that up as well may make it look like a regular marine, especially if there's no Berry shot next to another, regular, marine. Sorry, that was kind of convoluted. Basically: Regular Marine + Regular Weapon = Regular Marine True Scale Marine + Regular Weapon = True Scale Marine True Scale Marine + Bulked Up Weapon = Looks like a Regular Marine Anyway, looking good so far. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 on a completely different note, where did the ammo hopper for the big bolter come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
