Gav's Updates

[greenstuff_gav]

so, i've been quiet recently for a variety of reasons so thought i'd throw a few updates into one thread

starting with work on The Dark Angel...

i've gone for a magnetised head; a Dark Angel style Y scarred into the cheek (in Deathwing there was one on each cheek) and a hair braid
he's got a helmet to wear and as mentioned in the thread, a serf to carry it

here's the Serf;

based off a Bronze Age armature, been following a scout-style armour
there's a magnet in the hands to allow him to "hold" the helmet

on a Random tangent©, work on The Mechanicus Sculpt;

Been stuck on the head, but a new technique based off A Tutorial I Seen; while not great, i'm happier with the head than i've been for a while

so, there's a slight update for you

[Shannow]

wooo dark angel stuff! Him and  the serf looking fantastic, need to a big order for bronze age stuff!

The mechanicus looks up to your usual fantastic standard! Looking forward to more progress! Any casting potentials here btw?

[greenstuff_gav]

well, the Dark Angel helmet and pad are moulded already

i'm gonna try to make the serf castable and the mechanicus should be; assuming either look ok when finished 

[Ulgavitch]

Gav, have a you got a simple non embossed right hand shoulder pad for the 54mm marine? I'm seriously considering trying to build a Carcharadon Astra marine as a character but I don't want to file off and rebuild all the detail.

I'd pay, obviously...

I would certainly be interested in serf (loving his back excellent work) and mechanicus mate. And assuming they look ok? based off your previous efforts (including the awesome salamander marine work) assuming is a pretty safe bet.

Ps need to meet up for a game before I go back to NW and accost Dave for them

i don't have a blank helmet + pad, a Dark Angel Helmet + Pad or a Salamander Helmet and Pad moulded up and people shouldn't PM me

hey Shannow, any time my friend; either Briz, Triple Helix or Radstock
plus i'll be driving upto the July Meetup should you want a lift again

Awesome job on the legs of the serf, love the idea.
Keep it coming

[Dolnikan]

I love the look of the dak angel with his serf, the marine is suitably large and bulky which is shown very well by the presence of a serf.


The mechanicus looks very good as well, but somehow I get the idea that the legs are a bit short.

[greenstuff_gav]

also, an update on Adept Liwets' Transportation Servitor

[viper_eX]

wow, that Space Marine is good, but that Servitor tops it by far!

[Dolnikan]

The servitor is great, I love how he hunches and strains under his load.

[Vermis]

Lookit the size of that sucker!

Nice work, Gav.   What're the bronze age dollies like to work with?

[Myriad]

Good choice of head, I think, gives the guy a bit more personality.  Like the serf following him around too.

Transportation servitor looking good too, like the faceless look to him, and the way he's carrying far more that he should be able to were he not a servitor.

[greenstuff_gav]

more work on the Serf



just about to add the headset

now, i've got two options here' finish him up and start painting or, if there's enough interest, rework the hands (cause they're rubbish; but contain magnets) to maybe be holding a pistol and reloading and get him cast up; would anyone want to buy one if i got him priced up?

[Dolnikan]

The serf is looking better and better. His armour really looks like somewhat lighter scout armour.
