Your version of Dorn is literally on par, (if not better!) than FW's Angron sculpt. Bravo mate! :)

 

Cannot wait to see paint on that.

 

That is high praise indeed, thank you very much mate!

 

And now that you mention it, I have been a good boy today and started painting Dorn :D

Much awesomeness is found herein!

 

One question, how did you make the little brass 'S' shapes & squiggles adorning the armor? Bent wire? Chain links? My Heresy era Space Wolves must know!

 

Thank you for sharing your work. It's helped to inspire my own army right now.

I love your Rogal Dorn. The only thing that would be more awesome then this would be if he was riding Aslan in to battle.
Astride two Aslans.

Haha you guys :P I was thinking about pimping the Spartan I have up and making it his personal transport, I might call it Aslan though ;)

 

Started?!??!!?!???!! That looks finished, what more could there be to do to him? He's so awesome looking!!!

Hehehe well he needs some more details mate ;) he's not flashy enough yet :( And thanks.

 

Dorn is simply outstanding!! Great work! Cant wait to see him finished.

Thanks man :D

Detail, dear chap, detail. And free hand. Of yes, I like the look of Dorn. Keep it up.

Exactly ;) And thanks.

Thanks Will, the curls and 'S' shapes are made from brass jewelers wire and are shaped with rounded pliers and a lot of patience :P

Thats exactly what I was thinking, but confirmation never hurts! It looks liked need to go to the hobby shop now & peruse the brass wire...I wonder if I can make a jig for those shapes...

 

Keep it up. This is excellent.

damn...

thats seriously awesome brother ^_^

 

your modelling and eye for detail created a fantastic golden imperial pimp hand ;)

Haha the golden imperial pimp hand of the banana boy legion XD And thanks man.

 

I suspect that whomever pulled the job of doing FW's Dorn might see this and have an aneurysm, stellar work :D

Thanks for the high praise, but I doubt I could match whoever they get to sculpt Dorn, FW have some pretty amazing sculptors ;)

Hmm, a rig... Maybe with some big rods pinned to a board to bend the thread around that might work, and then you just cut them into the desired shape with pliers afterwards :)

 

See now if Forgeworld's Dorn ends up disappointing me (not that that's likely), I can always copy this one.

 

I am in a happy place right now.

Hehe I hope they are descent and at least waits a few years before doing Dorn so I don't have to retire mine too soon XD And if it ends up disappointing (I doubt it though) I'll have mine :P

 

But I am countingon the Dorn model they eventually do will be awesome, so he might be a showpiece only, but only time will tell :P

Thanks guys, and Thunder_god you are very welcome mate :)

 

About the lack of shine I decided I liked a muted brass look better :)

 

The blood is clear styrene manipulated over a naked flame (it takes a few tries to get a good shape), cut it to the desired length, glue it in place and cover with tamiya clear red, easy and effective :D

Splendid work.

What I like most about your Dorn is that his armour is not an oversized terminator suit, like all other interpretations of Dorn that I've ever seen. This way he looks like a primarch, not a tank on two legs. Also, unique, innovative, imaginative.

Thank you for showing us.

Awesome work! Would you mind explaining how you work with chain? in particular, how do you fix it in place and secure it to the model (just looking at your work, I can see at least two techniques, I think). Thanks!

Well these are several ways to do it, I made small brass mountings for his scabbard and belt and when I had the chain in place I fixed each link with a tiny amount of superglue for this model :yes:

Yeah I never liked the terminator version of Dorn, and the silly fishermen beard doesn't fly imo either, so I made him more like the classic description :(

And thank you :)

Thanks man :lol:

 

A few updates, none of the primarchs are done yet, but Angron got himself a face!
