Hey Guys

Well here is a little update on the Space Wolves Marine, I still have heaps to do with small details and weathering. I'll head down to the local craft shop and see if I can find some fur as well.

That's looking really good m8 i do love the shoulder emblems

 

[idreamoftoshiba]

looks great so far Ron, what is the fur to be used for?

 

[hemble]

Hey Guys

Crimsonbob & idreamoftoshiba - Thanks guys and the fur is going to be for fur pelts. The SW had them attached to their armour plus soughted runes and bone trickets.

Superb stuff Ron , I love that colour scheme . I'm looking forward to see what you do with the fur , as I was toying with using some myself . ( As well as leather , I'll be going for a "nordic/norse" feel !)
Love it .

Thanks for the crotch piece Mark
Making slow progress on mine. Still can't get my head around sticking the armour to the base body. You guys just use crazy/super glue??
Nice work Hemble. Coming along a treat

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah superglue m8. If you have already painted it and want to heat it so it shapes better for the joins use a hairdryer.

 

[Wanderer]

Cheers m8. Yeah I'm debating painting it first then gluing to the body and filling the gaps, touching up etc.
I think the main issue is the chest piece not fitting over the crotch/stomach part. I'll need to dremel the inside of it a bit and maybe shave a bit off the base body too. Hopefully that'll do the job
Went to Hobbycraft and B&Q on Sat and bought some bits n' bobs to stick on. It's getting there...

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah give it a good dremel until all the joins meet. I painted all mine and just glued them on afterwards and done any touchups after that.

Hey Guys

Here's two pics of the complete Space Wolves Marine. I'll take my usual pics tomorrow when the sun is out and have the recipe as well.

Wow Hemble you've pulled that together brilliantly. I'll be honest, I wasn't liking it as much as your first marine, but the weathering and additional detailing is SUPERB mate
Are you stopping there or have you another to make?

 

[Crimsonbob]

Man that's 1 of my favourite marines so far love all the detail and weathering

 

[clparker04]

Very very nice paint job mate, are rocking on the marines mate I will be starting my one soon

Can't wait Give us a clue what you've got planned! Sticking to Warhammer or going with something unique?

BTW I'd love a tutorial on how Ron uses pastels or chalks in the painting process...Tips anyone??

 

[thundergod]

Well , I decided to join the "Space Marine Club" ! All you guys have set a hell of a standard , so if mine turns out half as good I'll be satisfied . As I'm not a Warhammer guy, ( though I've always loved the designs and have painted up a few miniatures in my time ) I've gone with an original colour scheme . I plan on a norse/viking sort of theme ( surprise , surprise !) so expect a bit of fur and leather to make an appearance ( As well as a honkin' great hammer ). It's still early days and I'm at that "insecure modeller" phase , where I'm not 100% sure I'm happy with the colour scheme . I'll be more comfortable once it's matted down , weathered and a few more colours are thrown into the mix !

 

[Wanderer]

I think once you weather the armour - scractch it up, dry brush some silver highlights, it should come together nicely Great start m8. Love the giant nipples!!

 

[Crimsonbob]

ooh looking good TP

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Can't wait to see the Nordic version
