Easy MkIV Maximus Assault Marines Torso Tutorial

Recommended Posts

Here's my tutorial on how to convert a assault space marine torso to a mk IV, I already posted it in my WIP BA blog but i think this is a better place to share it.

The pictures may seems a little rough, this is due of doing various thing at the same time :D , but if you take your time the end product would be smooth and look great once painted.

Well less talk....

STEP 2: Modeling MkIV Torso

Ready?

First fill with GS below the aguila, smooth the area keeping wet the your modeling tool,

Its easier if you have at hand a rubber shaper.

Then fill the chest aquila maintaining the level of GS under the belt

*you can skip this last step keeping the aquila for variety

When you do the first and feel confident you can batch modelling...

STEP 3: More details (optional)

With a little of GS and a mechanical pencil you can do rivets

First put a bit of GS, push the point of the mechanical pencil

then carefully quit the excess of GS

Be very patience with this...

I hope you find this useful, i'll try my best to write it and to be understable. Maybe next time when I refine the technique, i'll make another tutorial for MkIV legs. Thanks for reading.
