Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Looking great so far, and I'm very impressed with the detail on the chest. How did you sculpt the lines that thin?

Its a lot of patience. You need to roll out a really thin sausage, cut it a bit before, apply it, then flatten and cut segments of it to get the sharp finish Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287318-minx-studio-brother-marcus-for-golden-throne-2014done/#findComment-3604434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoning Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Every PA figure should have legs like that. Awesome work!

Brother Masariel Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 WOW man! That sculpt is awesome.. I'm sure this project will grow into something epic.. I see you went for something in between the old visions of the armour and the most recent HH cover artworks. Especially for the legs I get an hint of dante's slim fit with more solid feet. I've a whole army of custodes (and sisters of silence) myself but being mainly a kit basher with poor to average sculpting skills (and very little time to practice) my way passed through fantasy elder leaving a certain frailty to the big boys frame. XD Are you going to give them various "skirts" capes and tabards or what else? Is this going to be the master for a multi component doll? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287318-minx-studio-brother-marcus-for-golden-throne-2014done/#findComment-3604910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minx Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well, the legs have gotten such good reviews that we may very well make some kits out of this, not specific like custodes, but create some legs, torsos and so on as individual components... not sure yet, as we have a lot of other stuff in development, but its a possibility!

MasterBuilder Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm REALLY excited to see this, from the chest piece alone it looks like the basis of an awesome sculpt. Given the great job of the Carcharadon Marine you just pulled a masterful job on... I'm so looking forward to seeing a custodes!

daemonclaw Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 very nice work quick question what material are you using and what are its properties like compared to greenstuff ie: can it be sanded smooth etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287318-minx-studio-brother-marcus-for-golden-throne-2014done/#findComment-3605133 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minx Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Im glad you guys are excited, we will likely be looking into casting it for sale, or at least casting the leg design, depends if the final product is too similar to GWs concepts or not, or whatever :PI will have another update tonight likely :) Maybe not robes today, i thought he was doing them but he added more to the torso and legs instead! @daemonclaw, white stuff is magic sculpt, we casted the basic GW torso as a base to save construction, however we modify it and carve it up so that it is not a GW part in the end. The grey stuff is Super Sculpey Firm+Fimo Classic(skin colour) and it doesnt cure until baked, which is why we cant use a plastic body. It blends very well. @MrChaos, first impressions can be deceiving ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287318-minx-studio-brother-marcus-for-golden-throne-2014done/#findComment-3605240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 @ MINX: In regards to the casting, you would need to re-sculpt the entire piece, incl the groin and feet, as casting them using the GW parts would be illegal in most parts.

Cheers, Jono Depending on the further adjustments we make, the parts would simply be understructure, like a tinfoil ball, or a block of putty, and will not reflect GW IP what so ever. But we will see, before I do anything with it I would consult a lawyer. @Reckoning, we will have an e-store soon enough, so either! :P @death, It is certainly a nice point of detail :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287318-minx-studio-brother-marcus-for-golden-throne-2014done/#findComment-3605679 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minx Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 More progress on Brother Marcus... We have added more details, scratch sculpted shoulder pads and the weapon.. We have begun the back reactor, and will eventually cover the crotch and butt with robes!

Honda Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Wow! So do I have this understanding correct. The "grey" material is the FIMO, layered on top of two part epoxy and when you are finished you will bake the entire figure in a ________ and it will come out Ok? Will you do the robes in FIMO as well, or regular GS? This whole process fascinates me.
