[Archive] start of a new sculpt [UPDATE 16-4-2010]

Sjoerdo:

where are you getting your 'gray-stuff' from may i ask?

nitroglysarine
Heresy

Sjoerdo:

Awesome idea. A cool gun-slinger pose - and I really love the face expression and the traditional plated armoury.

My main concern is his opportunity for ranking up nicely - but that's a risk I'm willing to take ;)

Btw: Any chance we might see some backside shots as well?

clam
I'm thinking about bringing his arm a bit closer to his body, would create some more room for in a unit.

You and your fascination for backsides ;)

I want my miniatures to look good even when they are fleeing :D

But in this case, I really would like to see the hand holding the gun - and I'll bet on, that you have already been taking that picture.

I'll take a backside picture with the next update!

Any ideas on the other hand?

I was thinking about giving him a grenade, binoculars or have him holding his helmet.

Input welcome!

ranging telescope?

clam:

No doubt in my mind that a helmet holding version would be so, so cool - but it will make him very much a charachter choise - and a charachter choise only!

Would never have thought that I would say this, but I would like a more rank and file type of guy. So I’ll ‘prefere’ (if he has to be holding any thing at all) that you go for a grenade or another kind of ammunition or just let him be grabing for some gun/black powder.

Sjoerdo:

Ok how about this;

I give him a Helmet, with an open vizer, and in the vizer I will incorporate a monocule like telescope thingie (something like a juweler uses :slight_smile: )

In his hand I will give him a nice primitive looking grenade?

clam:

The monocule like telescope thingie might be a bit too hightech for me - so please, don’t ‘over do it’ - don’t make it to advanced.

And then I have to say that I see no use of such a device. It’s not a sniper rifle - it’s a Blunderbuss that will hit anything in front of it :smiley: - but I you feel for it , do it! I’m sure you’ll make it look cool.

Your fanboy no. 1 (Think I have written almost half of the posts in this thread, now) :wink:

That sounds like a good idea. But i agree with clam in that it shouldnt be too hightech. Although a sniper rifle is a good idea if it was a chatacter model, and if the mm90 mage can have a grenade then so can this model.

Kera foehunter:

nice start love the big ass fingersand a great face

Sjoerdo:

Made him a new arm, closer to the body easier to rank up, and started on the helmet and the beard.

clam:

Very, very nice - the face is just getting better and better - really love that boned look in his face. Looking forward seeing the finished beard, vizer and the shoulderpads, so we can start see the real inner evil in this guy :smiley:

Warhammerman:

That is just pure awesomeness. Very very good.

put an apple in his hand.. (a nod towards william tell ) and on an unrelated post.. who says bows and arrows aren't sexy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXSuZHNO548&feature=related

Zanko:

@ THT: IMO no one said that bows and arrows aren’t sexy, really no one!

           I want a full regiment of them!!! :wink:

@ Sjoerdo: I like your 1st verson much more but the newer one is also cool … :hat off

                I’m eager to see the ongoing of your efforts!

                       :hashut

clam:

Zanko
Yeah, the first pose was so totally awesome and unique - and with a helmet in his hand - WOW ... - he would have been the most perfect hero/character for our armies.

- but then again glad he went for a more rank friendly version. I need about another 8 helmet blunderbusses. So I have to prefere a miniature that would rank with the Kees Headblast fig.

But we could always hope for - that he would do both :D :D :D

Zanko:

Yeah both variants are the best of all possibilities!!! :wink:

:hashut

Kera foehunter:

I like the new guy too !! he need a sword in the other hand throw

Border Reiver:

I really like the gentlemen with the Blundebuss on his shoulder. Needs a thicker beard though, but that will come with later iterations of the mini - keep up the good work.

Sjoerdo:

And a new update;
