sbarnby71 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Started working on the pose now. I wanted it too look like he's just walking along scanning for targets. I tend to pose most of my models with a lowered gun, for me it looks cocky... a rookie would be holding his weapon up to his face looking around nervously, whereas a pro would be holding it muzzle down so he can whip it up at the last second to make the kill shot. Yeah I know in real life that extra half a second would be a disadvantage but I grew up watching the old John Wayne Westerns and he always out gunned the bad guy.

sbarnby71 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Hey folks, I've got a cheeky request... I really want to get a mould from the scroll work from the front fins of the Stormfang gunship and I really don't want to buy one as I'm not a fan and I'd never paint it, so was hoping someone out there has one and is able to make me a press mould so I can use it on my dred'? This is the symbol: You will have my eternal gratitude and I will name my dred' after you (maybe)! (Also am I the only one that thinks that Wolf Head looks like Muttley from Dick Dastardly and Muttley?)

sbarnby71 Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Ah Triszin, if you had blu-stuff, you can cast from a painted surface and it does damage the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnby71 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Added a bit of extra detail to the rear now. Took a cast from the wolf pelt from the Venerable Dred': Came out quite well apart from the claws, as it was a difficult shape to cast from, but I will tidy them up with some more green stuff. This is going to be attached just under the power plant housing, I might put it on some chain links to give it a bit more length as it's a little short on these bigger Dreds: Edited November 28, 2017 by sbarnby71 Neowulf and Sagentus 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Your sculpting and customization skills are impressive. I can't wait to see the painted Redemptor. sbarnby71 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnby71 Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Forge Wolf have just announced these, so if I can just find a surface on this dred' that I can apply some casts from these... Ok maybe I need to wait and put these on the next dred' Triszin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Ah Triszin, if you had blu-stuff, you can cast from a painted surface and it does damage the paint. I dont have blue stuff, I however have Instant mold reusable molding stuff. I can make you a mold with that if you so desired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagentus Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Dam your customisation is amazing ... all the little details have turned a bland redemtor into something of great sustinance! Question about the blue stuff you use, where do you get it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Just seen this but think you've done a fantastic job here. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnby71 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys! :-) Sagentus, I get the blu-stuff from here: https://blu-stuff.com/ I use the putty they sell, it's pretty easy to work with, but the best advice is to use about twice the amount you think you'll need, so you do end up with a lot of excess around it, but it makes the mould easier to work with and less fragile.

sbarnby71 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hey Sagentus, Sorry missed your question about the Blu-Stuff, no it's can't be reused, but the trade-off is I think it makes the best moulds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbarnby71 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I know, I know, I know I was going to start it over Christmas... I think in my head "I've done a pretty good job on model and I don't want to mess up the paint job!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Haha I know that feeling but a great conversion without any paint makes me just sad. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnby71 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Painting has started, base coat of The Fang: I've been going backwards and forwards with different ideas on the paint scheme, for 20+ years I used the Baby-Blue, so I've been doing some tests with slightly darker blues, one that has stood out for me is Scale 75 Bering Blue, but do feel it is a little too close to the Alpha legion colour.

Panzer Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Looks more like Ultramarine to be honest. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnby71 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) sfPanzer you are totally right, it does look like Ultrmarine Blue, so not a fan of the new GW colours for Space Wolves, The Fan is too blue. I normally undercoat white, but as I wanted a slightly dark look to the model, went the Fang and it was raining so couldn't use my spray cans.

Dantay VI Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Go for standard mech grey and give it a heavy blue wssh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I don't mind the SW blue as much but I certainly prefer the more grey-ish color scheme from their HH times so maybe try going into that direction instead of a darker blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
