I wouldn\'t cover up the exhuast ports, but your termies don\'t really exist in helmets either....

#2 and #3\'s hair seems to be doing something funny. It is sculpted fine, but seems to be doing something outside of physics with the way it seems to be windswept. #2 specifically with it blowing forward as it seems.

Other than that it looks damn good for 1st, 2nd, 30th attempt at sculpting!

Shawn RL would probably be the one to explain the hair thing I am talking about better, in how it looks a bit funny in the position it is going.

yeah i agrea with #2 iv never been happy with him he was the first out of the lot to get hair and #3 i had to put the hair in his face unfortunatly because of a bad sculpt that made him look like a lepper lol!

 

[QuietiManes]

They look very \"Nordic\".

#2 looks like \"Oh snap, that helicopter is landing on me.\"

I like no.2 , i think it looks the most dynamic out of the bunch, but thats just my personal taste in minis i guess.

That might have been pretty cool since you removed their helmets they would likely have Vader/Anakin heads and be deformed looking so a leper might not be a bad thing for a helmet-less termie.

Yeah, could have been real good to have a half flesh head and other half muscle hanging form bones with some mechanical attachments to keep the face/head together.

Kind of a pre-helmet look and the termie went berserk before being finished, and they said screw it, let it go kill as is! lol

Hell all marines are pseudo-Borg anyway!


Even your sculpting mistakes sound cool!

 

[plattokeefe]

cool thanks guys for all the positive feedback, as soon as i get time to finish them ill post more pics \"could be some time though due to working crazy overtime hours at work and trying to paint something up for GDuk which i havnt even started yet lol!\"

thanks again regards rich

you seem to have everything under control the wind blown hair seems to be a good job (fiddly) if i might suggest that the cloth tabbards/loin cloths etc seem a little thick they need to be half at least what they are now, if you roll them as flat as you can then cut the rough shape and then bend it into curved shapes you can then add the folds after the main piece has set i use thin sausage\'s of milliput which i then mould onto the flat peice to make the folds /creases with a needle

 

[plattokeefe]

ill try that iv still got to start work on the rune priest so ill try that on him and then redo the others if im any good at it i was origanaly going to try and make the capes out of tissue paper hardend with glue so to get texture like thick hemp clothing but dont know how well that would of worked.

They could easily form a heavy metal band

 

[Meph]

Look up the band \'Amon Amarth\' they look exactly like this... ànd they\'re Norse!

 

[cassar]

didnt they win the euro vision song contest one year?lol

 

[Meph]

Lol, naa, that was Lordi, a pseudo-glamrock, toy metal band... Amon Amarth\'s the real deal

 

[plattokeefe]

lol. bring back long hair and beards in rock bands \"were a dying breed rofl!\", turf out all that ponsy hair emo rubbish lol.

 

[cassar]

cape capers

if yo want to try cloth capes try raiding the first aid box for the bandages and wound dressings, coated with pva if you look at the bed roll on my scout marine biker wip thats made from a dressing
