Hunter Rose Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 My latest sculpture is complete! I started this because I really liked the idea of turning something that is very small like a games workshop table top figure in a massive sculpture, I'm not very knowlegeable about it but I've always been a fan of the T'au. Very happy with how he turned out, originaly it was going to be 1/6 but after making the head a bit bigger then I realised it was actually closer to 1/5. Now he's done from the bottom of the base to the tip of his rifle is 52cm! And now I've checked his measurements and recalculated it he is in fact 1/4 scale so I've changed the title and added this line in. I sculpted him in 3 parts due to his size so I could fit him in the oven to cure, I started with his head then made seperate armatures for his legs and then upper body which was glued together after he was painted. He was sculpted in sculpey firm except for the the shield and gun which were made with styrene and foam board. Just to gove a sense of scale I included a mug in the first pic and left my hand in one of them. Heres a link to the wip: - And here are the pics IMG_20221003_123900801 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_123935735 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_123945753 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124022518 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124049206 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124125089 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124133787 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124148739 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124250074 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124301706 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124332659 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124352007 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124557865 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124607273 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124624330 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124647881 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124732997 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124741961 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124754428 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124813194 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_124948338 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_125028381 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_125114658 by Nick Frost, on Flickr IMG_20221003_125153859 by Nick Frost, on Flickr And it now has pride of place in my cabinet IMG_20221003_131821471 by Nick Frost, on Flickr Thank you to everyone who commented in the wip and showed an interest, I always really appreciate it and it makes a build more fun. I've got a few project ideas so I'll be back on to the new build once I've decided what to do next. Thanks for looking, more soon 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Thats just brilliant and all your hard work has really paid off! Can we expect an Imperial Guardsman to keep him company at any point?? 😉 Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yg Models Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 for the greater good 😉 nice build, but i feel he is too tall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voozet Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Observing the entire process of creating this sculpture was an interesting and educational experience. It looks great. I guess you need to build a larger cabinet before you can start the next model 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Nick, what a fabulous and unique end result. He looks hugely impressive and rather menacing. I almost expected your hand to be swatted away in that shot above! Human! Know your place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man that would be cool, but don't get me started or I'll end up making a large version of the whole range! 20 hours ago, Yg Models said: for the greater good 😉 nice build, but i feel he is too tall? Thanks Yg, I guess I always have a bigger is better attitude with sculpting. Though the next one I'm doing will be 1/12 so much smaller. 18 hours ago, voozet said: Observing the entire process of creating this sculpture was an interesting and educational experience.

Hunter Rose Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Just edited the title, I've been looking at him in comparison with other figures in my cabinet thinking he does look big and so I've measured him and recalculated the scale and he is actually 1/4 scale!

Bertie McBoatface Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 This is excellent. There are very few people who scoped their own figures. Hats off to you sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
