[10 ball]

Glitzy!!!!!

 

[SkelettetS]

thanks mates!

can say, i really want to go back to my usual things now (big beefy undeads ). the contemptor pattern dreadnought was perhaps one size too big, especially painted in senmm lol, but ive enjoyed most of it. unfortunatly it got two arms though

 

[Willdorling]

Thats how I felt (size wise) when I started my furioso dread ages ago. You'll really enjoy getting back to the undead stuff though when you return! Bon Chance amigo.

ok crap. finnpalm, you are right, the plasma gun will never work in this piece, i thought the plasma would point out from the mini longer, but its pretty close to the torso no matter what. so double fist it is. oh well...

lot of work there Skel your eyes must be hanging out of your head. I dont know if you would consider this but a high gloss coat of laquer on the armoured bits might make it really pop, something like this i think its a really cool look and what you would expect from a factory fresh bit o kit

or can i direct tour attention to the power fist, really pops metalic paint to me.

might be a neat idea phil, no one will ever know. i dont dare coating this piece with a layer of gloss!

 

[10 ball]

No DONT even think of spraying anything over it!

Sorry about that.

By the way, and I'm not talking about your dread now,

true fact: Everything on cmon is blue.

You can quote me on that.

[Kretcher]

Cassar ohh my that is a good one

 

[ischa]

peer pressure, arnold is such a bully.

 

[SkelettetS]

indeed, everything IS blue. and im not going to listen to Arnie!

assembled, greenstuffed and primed the other fist yesterday. keep on target...

 

[Tee999]

Looking fantastic skel! nice work!

tee

 

[SkelettetS]

thanks Tee! i was sooooo relieved when i saw that the horisont on the fingers and most of the other parts (had to correct 2-3 lines in total after assembly) worked out, otherwise i probably had to bin it

Uber sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

 

[KruleBear]

If you didn't go insane, you must of gained 20 IQ points thinking about all the horizon lines on this guy. really nice and thanks for sharing your process!

 

[Willdorling]

Sweet work Skel. The smoothing up has really made this nice to look at. Are you doing that through glazing?

Cheers

 

[SkelettetS]

thanks folks! help me find some motivation for the last fist...

will, only glazes on this one yes. no wetblending at all which i usually start with. just to be sure the transitions are exactly the same/close to the same everywhere there are only glazes as its easier to controll.

oh and krulebear, more likely ive lost some 20 IQ in this process...

 

[VeristicalBlaze]

Holy crap, looking amazing! Can't wait to see this finished!
Definitely worth the time mate

 

[ischa]

dat be pwetty. i really like that you´re doing something clean for a change, much appreciated!
