the Belgian one Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hello again fellas ! I'm back with another W.I.P. ...on a larger scale this time ! Cato Sicarius, captain of the 2nd company, based on the ( classic ) Forgeworld showcase space marine. That's the first time i work on that model and… maybe not the last ! Enough blabla ! pictures incoming ! First assembly before i start working on the legs Making the legs looks like MK 2 crusade armor was not so easy, i tried GS, plasticard with no good results so, i decided to carve the plate directly in the resin ! and just for fun … here you can see the size of the shoulder pad next to a classic 40k scale one... As always comments and critics are welcome ! I'll be back …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Holy crap that is an ambitious project! Best of luck on it, although you clearly have enough skill that you don't need it, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisty Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 That is incredibly awesome! I´m not a huge fan of Ultramarines since they usually end up looking pretty boring, but I love the miniature for Cato, and I can´t wait to see what you do with him. Great work!

the Belgian one Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks everyone ! Concerning the helm … i still don't know if i'll use it… maybe on the base… maybe on the model The matter is that the forge world bare head is … UGLY ! and way too big ! so i will have to find/make another one or go for a helmeted version ...

(Brother Artemis I wanna say is his name). Maybe a head off of a large action figure? If you google 1:6 space marine, you'll come across a blog about a guy who uses action figure heads for marine sculpts that should roughly match in terms of scale (I think).

the Belgian one Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Artemis's head is too small ^^' For the 1/6 scale marine i've been lurking the blog and… why not ! And if it didn't work i'll try to make a head myself… it would be hard, but it can be a good exercise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I believe I saw a conversion of that FW marine into an UM veteran. That conversion used the head from one of the GW licensed marine statues from Sideshow Collectibles. That bare head looked more in scale with the FW statue than the one that's included with it.

So it's a good occasion for me to test my new tool ! a compass mounted cutter ! this will help me soooooo much ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
