nearly done

all talk of fetishes aside the scouts done im doing little bits n bobs like a tree trunk n a six legged lizard to fill the desert a little the wooden base for the whole thing has to be done now that the majority of the fun stuffs done im running out of steam, i think the next project will be a space wolf terminator you must be using the force to turn me to the \"wolf side\"lol

That sounds like a great idea! I really admire your sculpting, the best I ever produced with milliput was cobble stoned walls, but this scout biker is worlds better than that lol. Great work - I cannot wait to see it complete.

feel free to have a go,the only advice i would give you is to make the bike taller, mine seems to be a refugee from american chopper bit of a harley low rider theme still desert conditions you need a low profile cruiser. will try and knock up a radio in the next few days. the lizard has had the dremmell treatment and is now ready for paint:D

Some excellent sculpting there cassar, in particular the sniper. The weathering also is not over or \'under\' done either, its just right. I have no sculpting experience myself, but two things bug me a little (probably too late now, but for future reference). 1 - the wheels seem too small in proportion to the rest of the bike. I know GW aren\'t very proportional with their own minis, but it looks strange IMO. Also, though the anatomy on the scout is largely correct, his six pack looks a bit odd, more like out of a comic strip than a real body. (Maybe you did this intentionally?)

Of course take this with a pinch of salt, as I have no sculpting experience myself.

Cheers.

cheers for the comments darkwind i dont know what age you are myself im 41 and retired, you are never too old. re the wheels i agree the problem being i work in a different scale the wheels are from an old lego set that was in the loft for years really i should have gone smaller with the bike and made it taller still ive learned a lot in the process. as for the physique and the six pack i was going for extreme musculature to indicate the process of transformation from human to super human space marine.
again as for the sculpting i started about two years ago when i retired it gave me something to do, give it a go we are all on the learning curve so get your climbing gear on.:D

Lol, well first I have to move on from filling gaps with vapormatic grey epoxy and start using proper stuff. Anyway, nice work and I\'m looking forward to seeing more.

Cheers.
