[cassar]

[DunErwit]

Great scultping, wow. Or should I better say: great FSS - "fast, speed scultping" ?
Steven is really looking very good, I am curious how he will look like once painted.

Keeping fingers crossed you can finish the team by end of march... tick-tock-tick-tock...

Cass, it's great work and I'm sure you'll finish them all in time. Somehow the feet seem a little bit small. It might be me just waking up or the camera angle, but it looks that way to me; sorry.

Cheers!

Top work mate!

The feet do look a bit small but I can not sculpt a sausage (that's no exaggeration) so don't listen to me

 

[cassar]

no worries lads personally i think its the heads a teeney bit on the large side and that throws the feet off cover the head and try it again, oops

 

[cassar]

number two sculpted needs sanded and the epaulets done oh and a couple of the mp5's done and ready to be fixed to the next two.

 

[Alexandra]

Lovely color. It really seems a bonze piece.
Can I ask which colors you used to get that effect?

 

[cassar]

yes sure thing Alexandra
1, very watery chaos black with a tiny bit of mithril silver as a base coat
2, catachan green again really watery
3,snakebite leather (brown)
and the secret weapon the wifes hairdryer to dry each layer of different paint almost instantaniuosly creates a patch work mottled effect.
then leave it for about 45 minutes to dry then a light dry brushing/dusting over with shinning gold to highlight the raised areas then finally a really really weak wash with chaos black to dull it down.

 

[cassar]

finished number two wont post any more pictures until the group shot.

 

[Milosh]

I like this work you are doing. Nicely done.

 

[Meph]

Indeed, good progress mate. The bronze look suit them very nicely. looking forward to the group shot!

That's always interesting to know for others applications, especially when you don't have enough money to go to a foundry and have it casted in metal.

 

[cassar]

a group shot of the last 4 hope to get them painted and mounted tonight
