Hmm bit of a poser i came into possesion of some new art work and it clearly shows a breast plate not a tunic so had to go back to the drawing board and start the chest again, here;s what i mean

This is great work so far Cassar.

Damn Cassar! You never fail to impress!

The only thing that bugs me, is the length on the calves, and it could just be the pose and the angle of the pictures, but are they long enough? Are the knees in the right spot? Something just looks "off" to me....

 

[cassar]

the top of the right boot is below the knee its hard to make out but should be rectified once i fit the leg brace thats probably whats causing the eye to brain confustication

The BIG question is will he be standing on a warjack ? only kidding fantastic work and attention to detail !

 

[cassar]

Okay these are the last progress picks for a while as im under strict instructions to cease and desist until the comissionee gets his internet access back lol (must be scared of missing something lol)

The forearm on the mechanical arm is too short and quite possibly not massive enough, IMHO. The models on pg 1 and the drawing on the top of this page suggest to me that the whole arm slightly over-sided in both mass and length. Plus PP seems to get the mass of the mechanical hands on the heavy side, if that makes any cents, and the anatomically correct proportions that you've got here look 'dainty'.

Again, as I've hopefully said before, please take as a constructive criticism from someone who is in AWE of all of your work and has little of your talents.

Dang, i have been ignoring this thread so my impatience would not kick in. Now I look and your making an awesome mini and it is not done yet! issed-off:

Just kidding...good work on this

 

[cassar]

cheers Krule was hoping to have it done this week but the customer wants me to quit until he gets back his internets, never thought i'd be allowed to work strictly on a supervision basis Lol.

Mud duck i see what you mean however theres quite a bit of difference working the proportions at this scale rather than 28mm (thats my excuse anyway) im thinking the addition of a breast plate's made the arm look smaller, once i've done the cloak that might change the perspective If it still doesnt look right i can cut it at the wrist and beef it up with some plates and pipes. Thanks for the honest input

 

[di_n_o]

wow this will look amazing

 

[Tee999]

That's coming along nicely !

[cassar]

[AndyG]

Only just seen this thread. Great stuff casar glad to see you working on another lovely bigature.

 

[cassar]

done some hair..yep i know Max wall lol these are the last pics for a while as my trusty smart phones off for repairs

oh and the boomstick

 

[Milosh]

That face is looking good. Is this one going into someones stash too?

 

[cassar]

Yep Milosh he's off to the States when done....would be a good one to cast still thats up to the chap its for to decided. i have finished off the hair and the leg brace and completely redone the bionic hand unfortunately you will have to take my word for it that they turned out ok as i am experiencing technical difficulties at the mo lol could be well over a week before i get any pics unless i revert to blowing the dust off one of the old jurrassic phones i have fossilising around the back drawer.
