Wow, that guy's gonna be huge!

  

 

well i wanted him to be able to look a centurion in the eye, before he beats him up and drop kicks the centurion

 

Did you make that foot from scratch? If so, fine work indeed

 

yes aculpted that in greystuff, most of it is gonna be made frim scratch with a bit here and there and some wire, planning on making it a multi part "kit"

Yuo should give him a pose like that! Or maybe not:)

well i be doing it in parts feet then shoms and thighs and pelvis, then making a mould so i can make more, the idea as you can see on the round indent in the foot is to make it moveble, so i can glue them in a diffrent pose every time if i want, already have a few ideas.

What's this grey stuff anyways? I'm assuming it's like green stuff, is it easier to work with or just a different version?

yes just like green stuff, but instead of blue and yellow its black and white you mix and you get greystuff. i find its less sticky and less rubbery when cured, so when i sculp big bits i prefer greystuff, the bit will stoll be bendy and softer than plastic, but its more stoff than the green.

 

atleast thats my expirence with it.

For the cloak I did on my biker lord and any piece you want to be more sturdy, I used Lorenzen's recipe of mixing Green Stuff with Milliput, hardens really well and you can sand it down to make really nice flowing capes that are as sturdy as plastic.

The back of the leg looks interesting, are those gonna be pistons?

thanks, well not sure yet, considered it, but dont want them to seem too centurion like, think they be more terminator leg like, only on demonic steroids.

 

one thing i dont like with sculpting is the lobg curing time where ill have to wait before i can add the next layer.

hehe i know, and cause of the shape of the back some of the areas arenhare to reach. my plan was to make it look a bit like the DV hellbrute, the spine stcking out and the skn around it, but need t have the spine done first, then ill fix the area around it afterwards.

 

ill try taking another picture, thats a bit more detailed.

 

might have to try making another spine then choose the best one.

thanks for all the comments.

Good work on the spine Thamier, it always sucks to fully customize a unit but the end product is completely worth it. I second what jimmy101 said, work on multiple pieces at once to keep from having to watch putty cure. Also start on some other projects if you've got other ideas or stuff to paint, that always helps satisfy the hobby urge when you've completed a piece that you don't want to touch for fear of messing it up before it dries.

To me it looks pretty good, maybe when it cures with knife you should sharpen edges a bit.

  

thanks, think ill try filing a bit on it if neded.

 

ahh looking good so far

 

I know how you feel about greenstuff, maybe work on a couple at a time?

  

Looks awesome I think.

 

 

i have a hard time judging when its cured enough to be safe to handle, to be safe i usely wait 24 hours.

but i am, working on foot, shin, back, thigh and pelvis.

 

 

Making spines sucks, I discovered that with my dreadknight, however yours have turned out better than mine and I thought mine were good enough haha so perfect In my eyes, keep up the good work

 

 

i know, much harder than one would think, and thanks, but yours looked great too.

I do have several projects, there is the current one that i need to do, then the side one thats second prio, then thete is always a few to fill time gaps, and then the few things that just sneaks in that i just cant help doing cause its cool.

been making more and more plague marines and building/ painting bikes.

its a multi part kit, so when i get each part done iml make a mould for it so i can make more, the foot is almost done, the shin is getting close to a base, ill copy that and make some with diffrent style trims like on my doodles above.

the pelvis and thigh s just base atm will look alot diffrent when its complte, hip plating and more.
