Excessus Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Heya So I needed a leader for my Eschers, and I really really loved the old oop metal Escher leader with power sword and autopistol... ...so I decided to make one from the new plastics...and GS...a LOT of GS...

Ranulf Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Looks like you’ve got your work cut out for you Excessus! While I really like the new minis, the original Escher models were amazing - they even look good by today’s standards IMHO. Keep us posted. -Ran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365726-excessus-building-stuff/#findComment-5579069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessus Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Not sure I'm also thinking of iving her a shearling coat, like Bane.

Excessus Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Question is though, should I keep the original shouting mouth or grab the rebreather CaptainDangerous 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365726-excessus-building-stuff/#findComment-5580118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I say go with the shouting mouth - I think you are better paying homage to one source than trying to make it look like two.

Ranulf Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Agreed - I'd go with the shouting mouth. Save the Bane tribute for a champion. -Ran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365726-excessus-building-stuff/#findComment-5580251 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranulf Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) I think you've nailed it! Using the Grey Knight falchion was a good pickup.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Looking good! I guess the only suggestion I would make would be to extend her hair to better match the original model, but I don't know if that is feasible.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'd leave the hair how it is since it's such a pain to sculpt. Also, anyone familiar with the original model at all will know what the reference is - I knew immediately with your second pic.
