FaeLi-N Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I had a picture in my head, that picture is now reality... You can probably see where all the bits came from, and the plan is to have an army of similarly "simple" but eye-pleasing models: http://www.goldendragon.nildram.co.uk/comchamp.gif Hopefully you can see the Red Scorpion logo on his cloak too. EDIT: oh, and also, the sword is now perfectly straight, it looks a bit off in the pic because it was ;) REDUX (already) - shortened sword shaft, straightened posture: http://www.goldendragon.nildram.co.uk/comchamp2.gif Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87014-red-scorpions-company-champion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfender Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Looks pretty cool mate. Is the sword also from the resin red scorp kit? Only thing I see wrong with it is that the cape shouldnt just be so straight in the back, the handle on the sword is way too long-esp compared to the legnth of the blade AND it looks like a two handed sword rather than a single, making it a tad odd to have the shield there too. But I like the pose, would be a great emp champ w/o the shield.

patsy02 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Looks great, but the sword shaft is way too long. It looks like a glaive right now, unless that's what it's supposed to be. ;) But still, very good :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87014-red-scorpions-company-champion/#findComment-1007665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaeLi-N Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 OK, heh, taken on board, the shaft has been shortened to just below the second hand. Also, the cape is meant to be straight down, since it's ground length, and he's stationary it shouldn't be folded imho, and it looks good ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87014-red-scorpions-company-champion/#findComment-1007668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicorex Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have one question and or suggestion. Are you planing on doing more with the cloak? If not i suggest next time you make one flatren out the edge where you inpressed the brass, right now it looks like its a cookie sheet. Other than that great job. I like the pose.

FaeLi-N Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Another couple fo things then: The cloak stays, and I know there's an outline so I only have to do a small area of freehand, hehe (lazy, but it should look good). Also, YES, the sword is also part of an arm taht comes with the resin kit. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87014-red-scorpions-company-champion/#findComment-1007675 Share on other sites More sharing options...

no-use4a-name Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I like him a lot. Can't wait to see the new changes that you've added---shorter sword handle...and paint, LOL.

nurgledeathmonkey Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 i like the haft a bit longer....maybe not quite so much as it was but that was one of the things i liked about the model...it looks great but i thought the extra length gave it a little more character...

Raziellycas Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Look nice! I love this helmet from forgeworld...

FaeLi-N Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 How is the sheild attached to the arm? Glue ^_^ Na, seriously though, it's attached via a strap round the wrist of the other arm.

Maladon Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Okay, to start nice looking model, I hope it gets painting similar to the avatar. Now on too the question of the sword looking like a glaive, I always thought and pictured a glaive being a pole arm with a single strike edge not a two handed sword? Sorry about the temporary hijack! ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87014-red-scorpions-company-champion/#findComment-1008182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Cool, can't wait to see it painted, the forgeworld parts for that marine army are really nice, fun to see someone actually doing them. :P Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87014-red-scorpions-company-champion/#findComment-1008296 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally thought you'd actually just glued it on, but good on you for modelling a strap (as opposed to the magical sticking sheild) :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87014-red-scorpions-company-champion/#findComment-1008300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
