Big DKOK.........bust

[mud duck]

more in the neck area I'm thinking (chin rup), guess that it's an easy fix either way and how it sits with a high collared coat if you go that way

Apologies for the lack of updates, had to disassemble the tumble dryer and cure a squeek that was annoying "she". Anyway here's a few pics of the collar and the various packs etc under construction.

I had problems with the rifle it was way to short at the stock fixed by cutting the butt off and extending the hand grip by nearly double also the detachable gas mask pack was being more trouble than its worth so it is now fixed in position permenantly and looks far better, also the collar dogs are done and the belt and some of the webbing is done the largepack and bed roll are still going to be detachable so theres options there. I also decided to redesign the pose he will now be holding the rifle across his belly instead of slung over his shoulder. should have some picture soon. Off to my mother in laws birthday now TTFN.

What does your client says about the changes you are making to the stuff he had already done?

In my opinion, not that he had made a bad work... but it is looking much better now!

 

[cassar]

I think he's ok with it Sagh he has an original of everything i've tweeked and believe me if i can keep it tweek free i will.

Really nice Cassar. I will have to investigate the DKOK inspiration minis (these did not exist when i started ignoring GW) as i like the atmosphere of them.

cheers krule, they are very very gritty and depict the grim darkness of total war rather nicely.
Moe cheers i should have some more pics shortly i have done the gasmask breather pipe and the back pack side pockets.
I have to say its coming on rather well, im not too sure if it still qualifies as a bust though as its more or less waist up and arms so dunno what that types called.

I'd call it awesome art!

Finished the heavey work on the back pack just have some fine detailing and sanding also did bit of the respirator breather hose i still have the end connectors to do.

 

[wargamesculptor]

dont know if it still counts as a bust, but certainly counts as a must have !

 

[cassar]

Hmm im kind of torn between doing arms or just finishing them mid bicep....will do both n see what looks best

 

[KruleBear]

Try an arm cross the front of the chest.

 

[cassar]

Hi updates, i have started on the arms and the belt pouches oh and finished up the rebreather pipe. theres a long way to go with the arms im torn between doing full arms andarms cut above the elbow will see how it goes.

[cassar]
