1/6 Space marines.....

[thundergod]

Beginning to "detail up " the marine . I planned on sculpting the chest emblem with Milliput , but after a couple of attempts I wasn't happy with the results so I used styrene strips and the skull from a "Pirate Ring" from a joke shop !

( I also swapped over the shoulder armour as it was pointed out that squad markings are worn on the right ) .

Just take your time m8 even if you just get an idea of colour and then slowly work on it.

Cheers CBob The components are all there it's just the execution which is lacking! Lol

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah what with so many options its gets a bit hard to decide. I must have spent hours and hours looking at different space marine chapters and ranks etc.

I think that's the problem , not WHAT to do , but what NOT to do ! The trick is to pick a ( basic ) colour scheme , concentrate on getting that sorted and then worry about the details, extras etc. later . It sounds simple , but it's easy to get overwhelmed by the loads of reference material available .

Hi Mark
thank YOU for the bits! I know it's not really in the Space Marine vain, but I hope you get the gist of it. I didn't put up too many pic's as i normally don't get much of a response, so I thought 2 pics just to show what I've done with your bits. Maybe when taxes are lower, rent is cheaper and cigarettes a £1 a pack I can afford to get a full suit and have a go at a full Space Marine !!! WW3 styleeeeeee

 

[Crimsonbob]

Beautiful work and i'd love to see you do a full kit sometime

Superb work Ian mate! It has a threea vibe to it. Great stuff and a nice take on the armour. Very well done.

And Mark cheers mate. That means a lot. Think I'll keep plodding away and hopefully one day I'll finally post it on here! Lol
While we're on the subject of you doing one for me, if, later in the year you're still casting these, I'd love you to do one for me...it'd be an honour to own a proper one

Nah Wannderererer, 3A has a Ian vibe

KICK-ASS!

 

[thundergod]

Added a couple more features to the marine , an "Iron Halo" ( some kind of shield generator ) and a big choppy weapon ! Both are "mid build" , so ignore the rough paint !

 

[clparker04]

Wow mate he just keeps getting better and better
