Grotsmasha Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 That is a very cool piece of fluff. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchbox Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 the libbys right arm looks a bit long from the front, maybe implant the magnets a bit further inside the torso and arm? just so it doesn't stick out so much. Great work though may steal the chaplain idea myself XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBA Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks for the comments and crits, guys! Yeah, I've got to clean up that arm - cover the magnets in sleeves of GS, too. I'm okay with the length, but what is bugging me is the length of the DV Libby hand. May have to take a bigger chunk of the wrist off... Also, can anyone reccomend a better left hand to hold the force weapon? The one I'm using right now is from the grey knights kit: the lower hand that holds the two handed nemesis weapon, and the definition on it is piss poor! The hands on this one are killing me!

KBA Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Got straight to work on trying to clean up the librarian! My GS work needs much more practice (the armpit cabling on the body magnet was really hard for me to get at), but I think it's a suitable repair, and, one that solves the arm length issue as it gives the entire arm a more natural, tapered appearance: BEFORE: http://imageshack.us/a/img839/2669/rglibbyfront.jpg AFTER: http://imageshack.us/a/img443/1091/rglibbyrepair1.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img109/1717/rglibbyrepair2.jpg I also took in the hand a little. It's the one from the DV Libby, and it's seriously long. I took as much of the wrist off as I could before I'd be cutting into his thumb: http://imageshack.us/a/img689/7151/rglibby1hand.jpg And lastly, because all birds should be able to fly if they so choose :) : http://imageshack.us/a/img163/9813/rglibbyjump1.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img22/927/rglibbyjump2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throws bit in grabage Glad you dig it the force weapon. Question: should I add cabling to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I love that force scythe. That's more of a lucerne hammer than a scythe imo. Wicked looking librarian sir, quite intimidating looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studio Silvernale Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The weapon looks great. I think a lucern hammer or bec-de-corbin are very "raven". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks for the compliments :) I promise to have something painted by the end of June The raven can be found through the kit furioso mentioned, though the one I used came on its own - I didn't have to chop it off the shield. Not sure on what kit that specific one was from as I bought it off a bitz store on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephrael Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think that the conversion work on that Librarian is amazing. That is a very clever use of the Master of Signal's helmet for the Psychic Hood as well. The pose looks just a little "off" to me though. Having both legs in a wide and open stance as well as the arms just seems like he is going to hug someone, as weird as that sounds. Have you considered bringing his left arm closer to or across his chest somehow? I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, I'm just trying to offer some constructive feedback.

Ch@oZ Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The librarian is brilliant. The crow's beak/hammerscythe is great- in most unusual conversions the weapons look highly impractical, but this one looks like it could really do some damage.

Hey - I always appreciate criticism. It makes us better, so I'm all for it! I can definitely see the 'hug' if I look long enough at those frontal shots. If I turn the model to where his hand is outstretching, it isn't so apparent, but I see what you're seeing. What I was going for with the positioning it's in now was playing with the angles the staff, lead right leg, and even the book mark share. I feel like it's creating quite a nice balance right now, but I'm definitely going to explore options on how to keep that staff angle positioning the 'huggy' arm a little differently. We'll see!

I went and checked, you are indeed correct sir, I tip my hat to you. An impressive bit of conversion work in itself, seeing as how the bird appears to be perched on a shield- so clearly a bit of hack and file work was needed to dislodge him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
