Awesome head sculpt! But what really caught my attention was that true-scale mkIII 

[MikhalLeNoir]

Wooot?that unfinished monstrosity???

[Vairocanum]

Sure the GS hasn't been finished yet but it's really good proof of concept. I might try this too after seeing your finished product.

[MikhalLeNoir]

^^ that is the finished one ^^. I don't intent to make it thicker or add something to the waist. He needs only his sash and maybe some sanding down on the gs parts. Not sure if it is already enough so thst when it is painted.you won't see the "additions".

 

I find using termilegs easier but i had all those propsero mk3.marines

 

 

It would be a waste if I don't use them and the.thing is: once you have started truscaling...heroic scale is not an option anymore^^

[Vairocanum]

The mkIII legs are bulky enough to not need more GS so I was just referring to smoothing out the GS on the thigh part a bit more (maybe just a picture angle though). And you're right, true scaling really does make you want to make more

*phewwwwwww* blowing the dust of this thread.

 

Oh well, you guys remember this chap here?

 

Well back in November I started work on another Lost Legion Primarch, sadly he is not part of the Brotherhood of the Lost.The Paladins of Midterra and their Primarch Amarthanar the Blind...

 

Well shortly after I broke my sculptung hand while punching through stones and work was set aside. But now with the hand healed and getting some practice on truscale Guaire and Kylan I thought it was time to continue the work on the blind.

 

And that was the story so far, enough words pics are ahead.

 

 

 

 

There is still a long way to go like adding feathers, a gorget, better shoulderpads, a skirt and an alternativr head in paladins of midterra style, but at least I have a pose^^

It is worth the time.

Love the work so far bud, and thanks for the shout out!

[The Traitor]

He looks awesome, though the proportions might be a little weird... However once you add more bulk to the model and remove blue tack it might solve itself. Can't wait to see more progress on him, the concept is very cool!

Just the blutac^^. Without it he is more in line with the other primarchs. Although with the bigger ones, hehe

You silly git. 

 

I must have missed that. Anyway, I hope you're alright again and back in stone-crushing form. That blind primarch looks splendid, although his thigh gap seems to be a bit excessive. His leg plates on the other hand are great and you've really piqued my interest with the list of pending upgrades.

[MikhalLeNoir]

Hehem we say "diggen säck"^^

But that was the exact hint i needed. Sometimes you din't see the flaw. I fixed it and made the gap smaller.if i but the legs parallel the gap is just right now.

 

 

And I may have forgotten to mention it^^ wasn't able to do sculpting for 2-3months. Horror

[Vairocanum]

Great to see your primarch project coming back! Some really great sculpting on the primarch, and a great pose too. Looking forward to the next update!

[MikhalLeNoir]

Woah....time flew by....the blind is finished and the next is on the horizon.

 

 

A small teaser for the next

 

[Vairocanum]

Looks promising, looking forward to seeing more!

Me too^^. Will be part of a duel similar to ferrus vs fulgrim. Here it is hectarion vs raktra. But that is a future project. Now for the present. As mentioned yesterday, I have finished Amarthanar the Blind... He really evolved from the sparse beginnings and It was really fun to work on him. Kinda regret that I am not able to paint him ( maybe i cast him before I sent him overseas^^) The biggest problem here was that the comissioner asked me to keep the parts separate so that he could paint him more easier...guys...it was hell...because everytime the posing was a bit different and getting the figure proportions right was kinda messy. So think twice before you accept something like that.

 

I also sculpted far more than intended. It was comissioned as a kitbash/ conversion but I somehow sculpted.more and more parts myself. But it really helped me to improve my gs skills.

 

I am not completly satisfied with the backpack yet. The owner asked to add some wings. Not yet sure where to put them.

 

 

But enough talk: PICTURES!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

And here with an alternate head:

 

 

 

 

[Kordhal]

Fantastic GS work! The head is particularly impressive. Were are the resin legs from?

[TheBlindPrimarch]

He looks amazing my friend, and don't worry about the wings, I've got an idea but its a minor conversion I can do myself. PM me so we can work out the final details, can't wait to get this guy and paint him up. (Might even do a WIP for him)

[MikhalLeNoir]

The leg partd are from the Steel Knight from Kabukis Knight of Legion Series. Originally it was planned to convert him into the Blind. In the End I only used his lower legs^^

 

@Blindy: You got blackmailed^^

[Vairocanum]

Wow all the details look stellar! The chest extensions and legs look awesome in particular. And using custodes greaves as arm guards is a fantastic idea, going to have to file that away for future use.

[The Traitor]

Wow, that is a flawless sculpt! Everything is very clean and the pose is perfect, you should be proud of it! Even though you had some complications the final result is definitely impressive, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as you could. I actually like the bare head better, but both sculpts are awesome, you get better with each model you make!

Thx to you. Because you recylce stuff via pressmolding I came up with it^^.

Thx mate. I had fun especially after the groundwork was laid out. But now I want to kitbash the next figures. Sculpting is so damn time-consuming.

 

And I think I need to paint some models^^

[Isengrin]

Great sculpting, buddy! What I like in particular are the Gorgon shoulder pads with those feathers attached. They look rad.

 

Regarding the wings, I'd probably cut off the two cylinders of the backpack and glue on feathery wings like those from the DE Scourges. Either that, or maybe there's enough space between shoulders and backpack to put them there. I think an uneven number of wings might look interesting too. (...just saw TheBlindPrimarch's reply, looks like he got it covered )
