Carts Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If the hands are not bigger than his face they should be about to scale,its hard to tell from the picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherMole Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The whole sculpt looks fantastic. As for the hands, maybe slightly large but as they'll be in gloves (I assume) they're probably spot on. Really enjoying seeing your progress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a damn good shout Andy i forgot about the face test, I'll do that when im back at the bench 9 hours ago, BrotherMole said: The whole sculpt looks fantastic.

Yeah chunky gloves but i think what may help is if i trim some material off the back of the hand or something. Hmm thanks for the opinions guys, I'll do the face test and see if i can get away with using them as gloved hands. Back soon with some torso detailing.

S5 modeller Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Those hands look spot on. Maybe if you thin the white plate out, on the back, or contour the edges to blend into the rest, it might help remove some of the "chunkiness" of them.

Matt Cheets Matt, yeah thats definitely what I'll do. I held the hand to his face and with the base of the palm on his chin the fingers reach his hairline so its okay, especially as they're gloved. As for the side details i started sorting them out. I want some cabling running from his flanks to under the torso wedge, so i wanted a chunky side detail as the base for an attachment point. So rolled out my sculpey. 20170421_133117 by Nick Frost, on Flickr And cut a rectangle to be halved for each side. 20170421_133923 by Nick Frost, on Flickr I nipped of a corner for more visual interest, and loosely pressed it in to see how it looks. 20170421_134532 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Then it was just a matter of blending the edges to get it stuck on properly. Thats also why i stab into with my tools to help ensure its on as good as it can be. 20170424_132636 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170424_133118 by Nick Frost, on Flickr And then after smoothing over this is how it looks. 20170424_134128 by Nick Frost, on Flickr So next up I'll whack one on the other side then add some guitar string. Thanks for looking, more soon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpopandchips Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The side detail is looking good and as for the hand they look about the right size but they look to much like gundam hand as they are, I amuse you will be modding them in some way, like filling in the joints? The over all look is coming along very nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah the hand itself is literally just basically an armature, I'll be cutting down the top adding different armor and filling all joints to give a material look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The hand size and shape look good to me, glad they pass the test. Presumably you'll be building them up with epoxy so they don't need baking? Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats right, hands will be greenstuff / milliput sculpted around what they're holding and will be done after baking. Okay so i cut some more guitar string, cut a little slot for them and shoved them in carefully. 20170425_132228 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170425_132420 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170425_132740 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Once they were in i cut a little piece to put over the ends to neaten it up, and i smoothed over the chunky bit where it had bulged out a bit. 20170425_132740 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170425_133312 by Nick Frost, on Flickr And i added a panel line too. 20170425_134554 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170425_134611 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Pleased with that, now to copy it to the other side.

Hunter Rose Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 As usual one job leads to another, i measured up where to put the chunky flank detail on the other side and noticed he's got a few dips under his arm and down tbe side of his back 20170426_132157 by Nick Frost, on Flickr So i rolled out some chunks of sculpey and smoothed them over. 20170426_132309 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170426_132606 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170426_132948 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170426_133708 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170426_134129 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170426_134138 by Nick Frost, on Flickr And i also tightened the bolt into his back a bit too to firm it up. And with that job done next i can start copying over the details. Thanks for looking, more soon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Rose Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hahaha! Thanks Mike that made my day! Well I've managed to finish getting the detail onto the other side, with a lot of smushing and blending. The position of his right hand makes it slightly more awkward but it was okay. 20170427_133436 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170427_134551 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170427_134559 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170428_132227 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170428_132242 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170428_133806 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170428_134447 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170428_134453 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170429_163818 by Nick Frost, on Flickr20170429_163831 by Nick Frost, on Flickr There's still torso and helmet attachment/neck detail but it feels so close to the end of him now! Really cant wait to get on with the alien, its going to feel so free and liberating to sculpt an organic subject rather than hard smooth armor!

Pete in Lincs Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Just a random thought, the Gundam hands, Why can't one of his hands be artificial? That would add another part to the diorama? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems likely that would be useful for space exploration. On Sunday, April 30, 2017 at 3:45 PM, S5 modeller said: Guitar strings, a million and one uses!

Hunter Rose Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Whoa sorry been a little neglectful of this build, just been CRAZY busy with work! Finally got a small bit of sculpt time, im just having a go at bulking up his shoulders. Didn't want to go the whole hog and make full on shoulder pads but shaped and built them up a bit instead. 20170512_131236 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_131627 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_131816 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_132339 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_132346 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_132526 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_133107 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_133113 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_133141 by Nick Frost, on Flickr 20170512_134002 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Still got to sort the other one, and then im going to chunk up the bit at the back of his head and create a flat area on his back for the backpack to eventually go on.
