Krakendoomcool Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Chain is a pain. Always takes longer than you think and your piece of chain is way shorter than it was when you started. You’ve been holding your breath for an hour and all you have to show for it is 20mm of chain attached to your mini (in my experience). Not done the tattoo decoration myself so can’t help there. I’d guess Dantay VI would be able to help you with this one. PeteySödes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'm like an abused spouse when it comes to modeling chain. I do it, rue the process, love the result... Then promptly break it. Krakendoomcool 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakendoomcool Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Ha! I put glue on the links on mine. So I can ‘save’ the position it’s in. Stops it dangling about and getting caught up. You lose some holes but you could poke a cocktail stick through to get them back if it was an issue. PeteySödes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 For me. Most designs I have used were tattoo designs sourced from internet searches or pinterest. A few I have drawn up on masking tspe and cut out. Others I kept the design to hand and free handed it. Almost always have a soft lead artists pencil to rough out the design before applying paint though. Sakura micron pens are also very handy PeteySödes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Yea Krakendoom I do that too with the chain! It works well on examples like the RB but my Axedreads dread wolf amulet i constantly am thumbing as i play. Cheers Dantay I was hoping you'd chime in! What your saying is pretty much what i was thinking too. I pretty frequently use pencils already for that sawtooth design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Quick work update: Fiiiiinally started on some Wolf Guard in between razorback painting. I've been using them in all my games but with filthy filthy proxies, so this is long overdue. Making them out of the mk. III primarily but i thought it'd be cool to mix in the mk. IV legs as the fluff is pretty clear the III is cumbersome. Thought it would be pretty cool for the most seasoned and capable warriors of the route to tailor their armor a bit as such. I'm currently pumping all my resources for power armor appropriate storm bolters :D Konnavaer and Krakendoomcool 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakendoomcool Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Cool. Jumping off the rock or running possibly. I’m imagining now someone jumping off the rock and ‘punching’ with the shield. Too much maybe. I’ll be interested to see how the rest of these guys turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Reinforcements have arrived from the warp/time rift... Tons to do but i feel like he'll make a nice and chunky vow for the ETL this year. Im so excited to keep working on this beast, I had wanted one for a really long time...

Krakendoomcool Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 He looks wicked. You've done a really great job with the pose. You can really feel his intent. What did you use to make the white border? PeteySödes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Thanks, it was great to position! Hard to find that middleground of making it not static but relating the immense weight and momentum. The trim is plasticard and then gap filled with Vallejo plastic putty. Still need to sand and rivet it but overall its looking like what i was going for. Krakendoomcool 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakendoomcool Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I can already tell my next question is going to be, how did you do the rivets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hah well I’ll call my shot babe Ruth style since it’s not done. Basically anytime I use green stuff I end up with some to spare. When I’m done, I use this to create cabling for later usually but I also make tiny, tiny balls. In the past I’ve taken a fresh xacto blade and split these in half and glued them down with like negative 5 glue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Small WiP update: Leviathan was a bit cold, so we have the first two stages of the pelt. Blocked out a rough "footprint" and did the first layer of fur. I usually overlap the fur like roof shingles so it lays correctly. He also got a bit more trim on the front sarcophagus. Still brainstorming on fun things to do to the lower chasis without overdoing it. More to come after the weekend! Main pain point atm is modeling this while its still in a bunch of pieces. I want to paint the head separately but that means the top plate needs to be removable for the moment. Not sure yet how im going to sculpt the pelt around that but i will not be dissuaded! Thanks for looking! Honda, Triszin, Krakendoomcool and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakendoomcool Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 This guy is looking great. I particularly like the chain across the pelt. You can get that really integrated into the fur with the greenstuff. It’s coming along really well. I hate any sort of awkward pre step like you have with the head needing to be removed. It normally adds years onto my projects. PeteySödes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess Dantay VI would be able to help you with this one. Mitre adhesive! It's used by builders to glue soffit etc so you're not stood on a ladder holding something for fifteen minutes. Sold as a spray then you put glue on and its solid in 30 seconds. Just spray into a tub, brush on, put glue on and set in seconds. Love the thread btw. Way to go with the old school rhino chassis.

PeteySödes Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I think this guy is done! Aaaand the ETL Loadout....every little bit helps... Super pleased with the results, it's hard to put something that cool down though. Im glad i did though, i think its the right amount of flavor. Chain is a pain.

Krakendoomcool Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 That wolf pelt is fantastic. I love the way you’ve differentiated between the tail and the rest of the fur. Also the way you’ve made the tail a bit shaggy with some shoots coming away, really sells it. Looks great. PeteySödes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks! I'm glad it sells, I'd had trouble in the past sculpting tail fur convincingly so I tried sculpting it like the hair and beards on my normal guys! Took a while but i like it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just superglue basically so the same rules apply but the spray makes it set super fast.

PeteySödes Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Some progress: Rust Base - stage one: Oooh now it smells like hairspray, X2 damage from flame weapons. Plus a basecoat: Should get a ton of painting done tonight so thats going to be sweet. The current distraction is that i got these fools on ebay for cheap (theyre legit too dont worry) Planning some HQ mounts. One is earmarked for my iron priest and the other likely a wolflord. Its going to be super stressful chopping them to pieces, theyre really pretty models. Krakendoomcool and TiguriusX 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Your Leviathan looks promising- I love the wolf pelt on his shoulder- but shouldn't a Space Wolf Dreadnought bear a close combat weapon, so he can have the satisfaction of seeing his enemies die up close?

Vraxka Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Wow, your work is amazing! Where to start...I love the vehicles the snow is a great touch and the details of the doors, the wear and tear looks awesome and all the details you've added with the green stuff really sells it. Seriously fantastic work, look foreword to seeing what else you got in the works :) PeteySödes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
