lovely job!

 

[MPJ]

Great sculpt, I\'d prefer to see hair, but that\'s just me, I like the \'tough chick with nice hair\' look. :drunk:

 

[Legacy Account]

That\'s class Lou - fantastic job for a first go!

I\'d buy one of them.....

 

[LouW]

Cheers all! :redface:

 

[farseerlum]

very nice sculpt.

can i ask what it\'s made of please? is it fimo?

 

[LouW]

1mm copper armature with mainly Sylmasta Magic Sculpt.

A bit of green stuff for the fidly bits and for contrast. Brown stuff on the rifle.

Base is aluminium tube & mesh, plastic girders, fuse wire, GW bits, sand, and woodland scenics water effect.

Great stuff! I remember seeing this on the screens, really really cool sculpt, and the paintjob is great too My only nitpick is where the tube enters her arm; it looks a little \"chalky\". Otherwise, it\'s very cool and the camo pattern is awesome Congrats on getting through to the finals.

Cheers

thanks LouW! i was afraid it was fimo but very happy that it\'s magic sculpt.

i have a heap of it and think it\'s great stuff but not seeing many other sculpters use it has stopped me from doing more with it.

This model was gorgeous, and i think deserved more than jus a finalist sticker. But well done none the less.
My personal favourite part of this model, other than sculpt was definately the camo
Also, out of curiosity, what was the first sulpting medium you ever toyed with, as ive bin trying a few lately, and am finding it hard to decide upon which to use?
finally, VERY VERY nice sculpt, cant wait to see what u do next

 

[TyronMagda]

As i said you, you\'re improving incredibly well and your sculpture is beautiful! :beer:

Now i want to see your next work...!!!

 

[LouW]

Thanks for the +ve comments. Now I\'m starting to feel the pressure!

@monkeyman7x: the first putty I tried was standard milliput. Of all the putties I would recommend sylmasta magic sculp because you can both shape soft putty or carve hardened putty equally well.

 

[monkeyman7x]

Cheers, ill search for some
so, any plans for your next sculpt??
(sorry if i seem nosey, im just very curious)

 

[Dammekkos2]

Very nice, I\'m always fond of 54mm, especially stuff by yourself, well done on this piece, excellent work.

 

[Ogrebane]

...thats like asking a woman her age or someone their wage!

JJ I have no idea what I will be doing next but if you check out Nano, JRN & Vincenti\'s winning entries in this category u\'ll see I got some work to do.

I usually change scale at this point to keep me on my toes so I will probably try a conversion rather than build and have another try with GS.

Nice work and a great first attempt.....Like it a lot and look forward to seeing more work..
The painting fit\'s the ood of the model well and really gives it a lot of character..

nice one.
