Ugh... what a week. Deep withing the Fang, Bjorn's restoration has moved at a snail's pace, owed mainly to indecision and rebuilding of his plasma cannon arm socket not once, but twice. Not much to show, but I've got the weekend, and have cranked my way through most of the boring parts of the torso. I hope to be done and moving onto the banner properly, by the end of the weekend. We'll see how that goes.

Anywho, a few pics the first showing the end result of his new arm socket. I extended it, so that his barrel is parallel to his skull's LOS.



An overall shot; you can see where I've started blocking in basecoats on the arms, as well as the banner freehand and the other panel's freehand. I opted for something simpler so as to not take away from what was supposed to be the more eye catching panel. I'm going to try my hand at a stitching effect on the banner.



And a more top-down shot, as I haven't really showed a full shot of the top wolf pelt before.



I didn't take pics, but I wasn't happy with my prior attempt at the knotwork on his thigh plates, so I redid them. I'll take a pic of that for my next update, but I'm much happier with them now. I'm also going to redo his right shin plate; I think there's too much weathering, and I think I can do a better, more interesting freehand this time around.

Thanks for looking! :)

Just when you think it can't get any better....it's a darn good thing you're moving at a snails-pace. I don't think many could take the rapid-fire overload of cool. ;)

After seeing this, I'll just stick to horses. ;) The entire thing is bloody gorgeous. I absolutely LOVE the wolf pelt. I think tho the number one favorite part for me is the skull. The highlights, shadows and the color, yes it looks like bone but it doesn't look like dead bone. It's not a remake of the dried and broken cow skull you see in every TV western when they head for the desert. To me (and I've only seen this once - it wasn't a pretty) it really looks like living bone.

Well done sir!

Alright, he's a minor update, showing the parts I redid. It was pretty much all the plating on the lower part of the model. I just wasn't happy with the quality of the freehand, so it all had to be redone. Set me back a couple of days, but I still think I'll be okay.





man that stuff is tiny.

I also redid the greave plate. That freehand wasn't *great* and I had put enough weathering on it, that I really felt like I had lazied out on it. I think this came out better. each of those little runes are .75mm tall, and spell out "vlka russ" >:E



I hope to be done with all but the arms and banner here in the next couple of days. A bit more knotwork, some weathering, some verdegris, and snow, and it should be done.

Thanks for looking! :)

Ye gods! I completely filtered out the incredulous size I think. 0,75mm?! You may or may not be part of the 'non-scandy' SW club, but you're definitely part of the Eagle-eye-natural-auto-zoom-mutant group... :-O

And the torso is done! Just in time too, As I think most of my paint time will be quashed between now and 5pm on Sunday. So I'll step back a bit, and be able to come in fresh on the arms and banner. My time is solid, so I feel pretty good.

Anyway, pics!













The water effects wasn't totally dry around the icicles, but w/e. I may or may not need to run another coat of it, but short of a dullcote and some gloss varnish on the ice, I'm ready to move on to other parts.

Thanks for looking! :)
