cassar Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 My question is why is he using a bolt pistol when there's a loaded bolter at his feet? Feed jam. quite correct in tacticle situations its safer, quicker and easier to go straight to your back up than mess with a stoppage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing Raziel Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Well this is what I have so far. I've added the etched brass, added a crusader helmet and altered the pose a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfinger Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 It is hard to tell from the photo if you have made any adjustments to the hand holding the banner, but might I suggest the following; First off take a look at an eldar conversion I did some time ago; The hand that is holding the lance is the original hand from the kit that I simply converted as opposed to re-sculpting. The first thing I did was to take the hand and sand a groove in it where the lance would go, this helps the lance look like it is actually in the hand, and creates more realism. I would start off by sanding a groove into the SM hand so that the banner pole sits in it more, as opposed to onto it. The simplest thing you can do is go the the hardware store, pick up some sand paper with adhesive on one side, take a small bit of the paper, wrap it around your banner pole, and sand, perfect fit! It does not need to be a deep groove, just a little one. The next thing I did on that eldar kit was to actually glue the hand to the lance where I wanted it, at this point the hand was still in the open position, but by doing this I was able to get the hand exactly where I wanted it. The next step, after the glue dried, was to make some relief cuts in the plastic fingers and bend the fingers into place, this of course left gaps, that were easily filled with putty and produced a great looking result. Now I realize that resin snaps and does not bend, but that is ok, you can still make some small cuts with a jewelers saw, and break the fingers into position, glue and fill the gaps. I hope that all makes sense, keep up the good work! Ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassar Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Far far better pose liking what you've done, if it was mine i would drop the right hand so the bolters level rather than pointing up but thats just personal preference :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 i like the new pose a lot more! if you turn his head and pistol arm a bit more it's almost an exact mirror of the BT artwork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
