Midnightmare Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 He certainly screams 'Lord of Death' as the robes are coming together. Seriously awesome stuff :) I am going to give the milliput/gs mix a go, didn't realize it could be done (gs on its own can't be sanded and milliput I find that a bit hard). Cheers!

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I was in and out of sleep last thinking thinking of how to make my own Mephiston...I now stand and look at the dream turned into reality and know that I can't do it. But you sir, you can! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3666167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorneeq Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Wow, I mean wow that's the only word I can think of to describe this model The skirt over the left leg looks extremely natural Only thing I can think of may be tilting the sword arm a bit towards ground. And I need to buy milliput and greenstuff and practice... practice a lot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3669803 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Will have updates soon, was a hectic week at work and we got a new kitten so very little progress since I fixed the hips. I had a go at the coat but wasnt happy so removed and will restart.

Blindhamster Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hey Guys, promised an update, so here it is :) (I can show pictures of what the hips looked like after fixing but prior to coat if desired too, they got made quite a bit skinnier, and I did take pics). Currently the coat is very, very WIP, as is the hood, but I needed to get most of the shapes down so I knew what was going on, I still need to add the piping from the sides and front of the hood, but will wait to do the ones on the side till after both arms are on (they need to rest on the shoulder pads) the coat will be getting sine detailing, suggestions have been the skull buttons obviously, but I've not made it look like it could be fastened up, and to do so would obscure the chest detail a bit too much. Hood also need to be made a bit thicker, and brought a bit more forward on the left hand side (his left) then all the rivets and skull details to add too. I need to work out a plan for the wires to his head as well, which will be fun! Currently neither the head or arm are actually attached, the arm hasn't been started yet.

Emperors Immortals Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I know its only very early, but im in awe of the movement youve managed to show with a fairly static pose. My only real question is will you tilt the head slightly forward to straighten teh spine a little or leave it just a little cocked like you have it to show a bit more focus on his arm? Im really looking forward to this! /subbed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3691157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
digsy Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Need to see more! Looks amazing so far. The original model (like so many) desperately needs an update.

Blindhamster Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Haha. Thanks for all the comments guys. Project isnt dead. I've been making slow progress but he has a long way to go. Once I manage to sculpt tge left shoulder pad to a level in happy with, I will update Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3700307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I've been promising an update for a little while... he still has a number of areas to finish (sword, rivets on the hood, horns on the skulls, some bling on his belt (syringes, buckle, loops for it to stay on the coat), but i'm pretty happy with how he's turning out! I don't have decent lighting or a camera where i am, so these will have to do Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3704939 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morticon Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Looks incredible dude. I wont lie, i think I prefer the hand inverted! This way it looks like he's reaching for a pint, rather than summoning dark energy from the warp. But epic, epic. Worried at all about the swords scale?

Blindhamster Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeah, looking at replacements currently, battle brother ludovic suggested the dark vengeance captain sword, which might work! amusingly, the hand is an accident, but i was happy with the sculpted gauntlet and didnt want to redo lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3705127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Agreed with Morty - the inverted hand was waaay more dramatic. Striking, even. But hey-ho, if you don't fancy changing it we can't browbeat you into doing it. Fantastic work, brother. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3705214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Agree with the others who said the inverted hand was epic. This is...fine but doesent have the same weight the previous one did :(Ive got some (limited) experience with GS though so can really understand your reason for not wanting to redo it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290096-mephiston-mini-it-begins/page/2/#findComment-3705448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Outstanding work dude. I'm going to disagree with everyone else and say I love his hand like that. Looks like he's going for the Darth Vader force choke!!
