bloodzone Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 that could possibly be the work of the guy who has his own moulds,ive heard rumours of him but i cant confirm thats a true story Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exquisite Evil Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 From what I know of Scibor - he sculpts seperate peices and then glues together. I like parts of the model but not the head...It looks like a Dwarf head he has done...

Master Chaplain Astador Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 There were discussions on him in the past. He sculpted a limited number of models and parts, and casted the pieces. He turns out sculpts like crazy.

Volkainen Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 <<stuffs glob of green stuff down throat and suffocates>> I'm speechless, that is probably some of the best GS work I've ever seen. Makes me ashamed to even try!

DARKTROOPER Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 :lol: I have been tempted to buy some of his stuff but I don't really like this one's pose.

Fallen Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Looks sweet, but... what's with the turbines? Seems really out of place. I'd love it if it weren't for the turbines. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayGun924 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Not a fan of the facial hair. It's way too thick; almost makes them look like facial tentacles...kinda like Dr. Zoidberg on Futurama. ~Ray Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1dyoung Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Scribor actually just scanns drawing into the computer and uses a 3-d vector program to make digital files of them, then he uses a 3-d micro machine or whatever they are called he might even have a lazer one to scult his stuff, so its all digital, the guys a total jerk from what i've gotten, he cranks em out all the time mostly for money from what i cna see, as he ebay store (chestofcolors) is always full of em, anyways he hates tlakign to people about the minis, or giving tutorial, he doens't believe in tutorials, so the guy is crazy hard to find or get ahold of, but thats just my 2cents Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat0n Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 scribor uses a CAD program to create molds using a CNC machine. he does not actually sculpt anything by hand. regardless, his stuff is still awesome! just had to clear that up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horus Reborn Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 scribor uses a CAD program to create molds using a CNC machine. he does not actually sculpt anything by hand. regardless, his stuff is still awesome! just had to clear that up Well, he does sculpt SOME stuff by hand...but that would be stuff like the facial hair. Which, as already mentioned, is the weakest part right off the bat. I know his work has been the topic of much debate and even controversy in the past, and yes he might have his faults or whatever, but mostly the guy can do what he wants. If people keep paying what he asks despite being opposed to his take on the hobby, who can you really hold it against. Anyway.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Personally I don't care for his stuff. It's all a bit bland and looks the same no matter what he's making. I know the CAD program let's him churn these puppies out, but what for? I don't feel that his contributions add anything to the hobby. Of course this is just my opinion.

Mutt Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 That is a beautiful piece, whether it was sculpted or not. I have to agree the mustache looks funky, though. Looks like he has spagetti coming out of his nose.

Nicorex Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 When I first saw his stuff on ebay I was amazed. Had some really neat and orginal BT guys going. But now he is using the same basic mold shape for almost every single model, and sometimes the models have completely wrong wargear(IE stuff they cant be armed with), so if you are buuying just to paint thats cool. but sometimes they are illegal to use in an army. I know people keep buying them. cause I see them all the time on ebay. I even bought one a long time ago. It was a cool looking Inquisitor. I had plans on poping off his arms and reworking them to make his a Libarian in Artificer armor. I just never did it, so he sits in my drawer. I think I decided I liked the look of my own conversions better. They might not be nearly as pretty, but they are mine and make me happy.

Grand Master Braxx Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 his stuff is nearly always the same, to me anyway. the heads, turbine, even the armour, it's always the same, with some slight variation. Yeah the models are neat, but eveything is just too similar for my taste, IMHO.

scrub Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Looks neat.. but like everyone has said before.. Everything is the same as his other figures with slight variation.. no originality.. It's worse that he doesn't sculpt it himself.. it cheapens the work that people, who actually sculpt, do. I also dislike the fact that he sells them for ridiculous prices [$150??].. I suppose that's the buyer's fault if he/she is stupid enough to buy it.. but still.

feuer_faust Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 It's decent stuff. The CAD-made stuff anyways. Take a look at his other auction, specifically the biker chappy one. I have a feeling that the skull was hand-made: it doesn't even have discernable teeth. HOWEVER: I'd also like to point out he still makes good cash doing this, and does, in fact, do this. It's still more than I do for my own models.

dragonforge Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 He created a interesting way to convert figures and hes done well selling them. All the power to him. Do I like his limited pallet of designs, not really but to eash his own. he just took the hobby to a new direction.

Orkdung Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Scribor has only ever sculpted one thing by hand...Chuck Norris's beard. His first 2 CAD "Sculpts" were Chucks left and right fists; to this day, still his best sculpts. Just ask Chucks victims ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalamadea Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think his stuff is still awesome, even if it is a bit cookie cutter now. The man has skill, even if it's only with digital manipulation, he has skill. I know a few techniques and tricks to using photoshop, doesn't make me a digital artist. Likewise, even if other people had access to his CAD software and 3D printer, it would't for a moment allow them to copy his models unless that had a fair amount of skill with the stuff. Hell, GW is doing the exact same thing with their new CAD sculpting technology, although that is a considerably grander scale. And besides, he does scult a lot of details by hand. His hand sculpting is still nowhere near as good as his CAD sculpts, but he's gotten better. Whether you care for the guy's work or not, I think he deserves at least some respect for what he does.

Brother apocalyptic Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 So its cad he uses.. heck then I could ask my Girlfriend to show me how the stuff works.. (shes a CAD and CNC operator).. Hopefully Im bright enough to learn.. but where can you get the cutting machine used? <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagsta Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 this guy makes a lot of money with his stuff.... I don't like it that much and would never ever buy any of this very expensive stuff... many people don't seem to like him here's a funny link Take a look Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86652-sw-sm-space-wolves-hero-or-lord-converted-by-scibor/#findComment-1003503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
