Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The green stuff is well-sculpted. The heavy stubber gunner looks most promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDuderino Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I thought I had commented on this already, but apparently not. Heavy stubbed gal looks amazing! I love seeing old artwork transferred into mini form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Heavy Stubber gal - "...that awful seam where the face joins the rest of the head. She's looking great, your sculpting is as always amazing. In regards to those Esher heads, not only are they some of the most male-looking femmes out there, but as you mentioned: the seam where the hair joins the head is just awful!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yeah, some of the heads are quite man-ish; the gang leader's head in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) The heavy stubber girl is coming along nicely, Brother Chaplain Kage! I also wanted to thank you for the tip on using oil to smooth greenstuff/modelling putty: I've finally tried it today and it is ridiculously better than using water. Actually, it may actually help me to get back to sculpting, because I had been leaving unfinished miniatures for months due to my lack of will to pick up the putty Edited September 22, 2019 by Elzender Brother-Chaplain Kage, Silas7 and Augustus b'Raass 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Always happy to help someone get better with the greenstuff monster. Did you see my video on how to smooth GS or just see me mention using oil? Augustus b'Raass, Silas7 and Elzender 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I saw it a while ago but I might have to refresh it a bit, I did save it to keep it at hand The oil tip came from either the video or you probably mentioned it in the thread at some point, but I had intended to try it for a good while and finally got to it. And man, am I happy with it! Brother-Chaplain Kage 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuskRaider Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 There will be a day - and it's not today and it won't be tomorrow - but there will be a day when you post a finished model :P Brother-Chaplain Kage 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 Sons of the Omnissiah, builders, my brothers!  I see in your data streams the same trepidation that would still my flesh heart!  A day may come when the strength of superglue fails!  When I pick up a brush and break free of my conversion ADD!    Now, I will have you know I finished no less than TEN Necromunda figures for the ETL and I'm not entirely sure I posted them in this thread.   All perched on the best bases I ever did. :) Majkhel, DuskRaider, Grotsmasha and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Is the fat guy based on Bobby Munson? Â It is a shame that the grey parts look like unpainted plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Blaire Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Surely those shoulder pads are bare plastic still?Damn crappy thing I figured out about Mechanicus Standard Grey is that it also appears to be GW Standard Sprue Grey. :lol:Â It almost makes me wonder if they use the pigments in the paint as the pigments for the plastic during manufacturing or something - it's super-close color-wise.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Is the fat guy based on Bobby Munson?  Yep.  I did NOT see those, actually. They look great and I agree, those bases are excellent.  Thanks!  Haha, I saw those via ETL and started to wonder if you post painted models elsewhere?  Not really. A lot of my painted models are done for events and I post in those threads and in here (when I remember to).  Surely those shoulder pads are bare plastic still?  The picture suffered for trying to get the whole unit into the shot and a lot of the shading didn't show up. I'll have to do some individual pics of the individual minis sometime.   BCK, you definitely don't do any conversions by half-measures!  Go big or go home, right?  Here's the first sketch of the figure, shamelessly stealing the pose from Lelith Hesperax.   And before anyone asks, no, the legs are not finished, and yes, they will get more work. This is a foundation layer of GS only. One interesting thing about this chop job is that the gang leader's jacket still fits on the figure. Gederas, Bryan Blaire and Sagentus 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Fine then, the hair stays! Also, I didn't like any of the other hair options for the leader, especially that giant mountain of hair they have on her for the studio model. Bryan Blaire and Lexington 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thanks, Custom Hero. :)  Now that putty has cured, you lot can get a better look at what I was picturing in my head.   Probably going to cut the bangs off of that head because it's hitting the shoulder and collar and preventing me getting it into the position I want. Bryan Blaire, PowerHungryMonkey and noigrim 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
