Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100743.jpg "...And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100746.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100745.jpg The second Holy Orb is going is going to be sliced down to give it a flat back and stuck on to the shield, which will then be painted white with gold stripes radiating out from it as if the Orb is giving off shafts of light. The completed shield and the sword will then be glued somehow onto Brother Maynard's back as if he's slung them to read from the Book of Armaments. As a final touch I'm going to (attempt to) make some small shield icons from Green Stuff to cover the regular attachments on the purity seals on the leg and shield, to make him look altogether more like a Templar. A question for the Templars amongst us, should the Aquila on the shield be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Awesome, brings back memories that speech. Like the pose and the idea behind this model. Would love to see you recreate that speech into the book, that would be epic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I wish I had the skills to put that into the book. I'm just about confident enough to try to add an illumination for the A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 One does not simply throw the Holy Hand Grenade. It requires the proper catechisms. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Did a mock-up with some blu-tac to get an idea for the placing of the sword and shield. http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100749.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100750.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100752.jpg http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb368/res_ipsa1/P1100751.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looks good. The shield seems to work well. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I may chain the shield to his belt, at the moment it's just hanging there with no visible means of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I may chain the shield to his belt, at the moment it's just hanging there with no visible means of support. That sounds like it would look really good. The current sword placement works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looks great!!!! The only suggestion I have regards the hand holding the book. I suggest very carefully straightening the hand behind the book to give a firmer hold, it's what I did for my plastic Ezekial. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'm not happy with the book hand either but my first attempt to straighten it resulted in it snapping off. Any tips on how to do it or is it just a case of being careful? I am somewhat a hamfisted oaf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishSmurf96 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Stick the arm in boiling water for a while and it should be easier to bend, but you should still take care when doing it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melekharn Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 You should re-create the witch scene... That would top things off nicely. Other than that, I agree with everything everyone has stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Love it! Great pose, there's a lot there but it doesn't come across as too busy. The only thing I'd maybe suggest is using GS to make the beams of light emanating out on the shield rather than just painting them on, fairly simple to do and might tie the orb design in better?

Glaeken Templaris Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hmmmmm awesome model that needs some awesome quotes. Slight paraphrased but it made me laugh while righting and got a few odd looks from my work mates lol [Holding the Holy Orb of Antioch] Marshal: How does it... um... how does it work? Sword Brethrin: I know not, my liege. Marshal: Consult the Book of Armaments. Brother Maynard: Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one. Servitor: [reading] And Saint Attila raised the orb up on high, saying, "O Emperor, bless this thy orb, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Emperor did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and Jokaeros and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu... Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother... Servitor: And the Emperor spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Orb of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in thy sight, shall fail their armour save and snuff it. Brother Maynard: Amen. All: Amen. Marshal: Right. One... two... five. Sword Brethrin: Three, sir. Marshal: Three.
