Molotov's 54mm...

Torquemada, thanks for that - you've inspired me to actually try to bend the arm a little more...

EDIT:

It of course led to the arm snapping, but it was perhaps for the best. I really am liking how it's turning out now, with some greenstuffing, it should be much improved.



I've just got to work out what to do with the other arm now...

not to pick holes, but I think it needs to be extended a couple of mm from the elbow, his arm looks kinda stubby...

Hmm... I'll have to give it some thought. At the moment, I can't see it. I mean, if you compare it to the model with the arm straight, I think it might actually look longer once I've green-stuffed the arm, as it'll have more of a visible elbow.

I will definitely take your feedback on board, though... I'll look at the model and see if the arm looks stubby.

I would say not so much stubby, but that the proportions between the upper and lower arm are out of kilter. I didn't see it when the arm was straight but now I think that the models glove has been made to long and ends at the point where the elbow should be. Just a thought anyway.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

I think wrist-elbow is supposed to be roughly equal in length to shoulder-elbow, which seems to be the case here, especially if we presume that the upper arm is partially obscured by the shoulder pad. It definately looks better than previously.

Given that some people seem to expect me to have something to say on anatomy...

In human norm, the length of the radius and ulna (lower arm) is usually about 7/8ths the length of the humerus (upper arm). Taking into account the way the elbow actually moves (the proximal* ends of radius and ulna shift over the surface of the distal** end of the humerus), the "hinge" of the elbow is effectively inside the distal end of the humerus, so both the wrist and shoulder joints are near as makes no difference, pretty much equal distances from the elbow.

It's relatively simple to observe this - hold a hand up to the related shoulder, and you should be able to use the other hand to feel both the joint of the wrist and the proximal end of the humerus.

*Nearer to point of attachment to the trunk. **Further from point of attachment to the trunk.
For the arm, proximal basically means nearer the shoulder, distal nearer the hand.

i have enjoyed reading your anatomy comments as I peruse the Conclave Marco, enjoyable because for the most part your far more succinct and intelligible than my lecturers! Though I do mainly do neuroanatomy.

I think perhaps the root of why my eyes have a problem with it is perhaps also the size of the hand, which (to me at least) seems the same length again as wrist to elbow or elbow to shoulder. But that is heroic I suppose.

Wish I had massive hands...

Well, I study anatomy from an artistic perspective, and thus try to keep it down to basic proportions.

However, I do sometimes break said rules (sometimes what looks right on paper isn't what's strictly correct), and I don't know zack about half the internal doodads.

I think it'll look fine once it's GSed.  Even if "slightly off" I don't think it'll hurt the overall model's look unless you're really studying it hard.

Today, my Delphan Gruss arrived. Here's where I'm at with the Interrogator - I removed Gruss's feet because they didn't look armoured to me, and I didn't want my character to have bionic legs. As a result he's received two feet from Inquisitor Covenant.

Once again, a very nice combination of parts. What's he going to be armed with?

I vote for "heavy flamer"!

Mmmm, yeah a heavy flamer would suit him.

He looks like he's screaming "PURGE THEM!!!" to me.

Just over a year since I replied to this topic, I've made a little (just a little!) bit of progress to this model.



I've pinned the head to the neck, and pinned the pistol arm. It's at a slight angle, and will require some GS in the armpit area. The power maul arm is blu-tacked at the moment, because I can't decide if I actually like it.

The servo-skull is from the daemon huntress; I've attached a 28mm Space Marine auspex to it, to represent its work as a hunter skull.



I'm currently trying to decide whether the model would look better with Barbaretta's shield held in place of the power maul - any thoughts?
