Title: old project finished- Inquisitor Saladin with WIP of bionic arm
Post by: judge-minos on April 12, 2011, 06:38:33 AM
Another of my old projects of which I had posted WiP in the old conclave, the only thing that was really missing was the painting of the interchangeable hands  and the base.

So here he goes, Inquisitor Saladin ready for battle

He's very good looking, a real witch hunter, I feel compelled to ask the same as everyone else, how did you get the bionic arm to look like that?

Hi, All of you are right I made this model inspired by the  40k whitchhunter so it is very recognizable.

The bionic arm is composed by a necromunda pit fighter bionic arm and Scarn hamd. The arm was short so I actually turned the piece so that the shoulder became the wrist, the forearm was then pinned at a little distance from the shoulder and covered with the coat shoulderpads.
I cut scarn fingers and sculpted them on the hand except the index pointing.
Next step was to bulk up the arm with small armored plates made of putty

here are some WIP

Got a nice look to him.  The hat looks quite a bit better foreshortened, and I may remember that idea if I ever use my own witchhunter head.

Bionic arm is a nice example of sculpting something nice and original looking from varied parts, and really adds a bit of grit to the model.
