Title: finished the base to another old model, Pilot first class Jeren Arco
Post by: judge-minos on April 13, 2011, 07:11:11 AM
Hi, I made a little order of my models and found a few who are just missing little touches, this one was missing a base so here it is ex navy pilot first class now working for my favorite gal, lady Inquisitor Dolphinus.

I am finishing a couple of more models on her warband and then I'll take a group picture

the legs are the rogue trader, the torso is a imperial guard and the arms are Kal Jericho spares.
I added a little bit of chest armor and the bottom of the jacket to fit the two parts together which at the beginning did not look very well.
The head is our dear Damian hound with a little change of hairdo (i think he looks like starsky played by Ben Stiller  ;D)

That's all,
Ciao

Nice work on his hair - a vast improvement on the original.

The extra sculpting really combines these parts nicely. The painting is good too. Cool mini mate. I wonder what he's yelling?

looking at those eyes, something along the lines of "[EXCOMMUNICATE][EXCOMMUNICATE][EXCOMMUNICATE][EXCOMMUNICATE][EXCOMMUNICATE][EXCOMMUNICATE]"

I like everything about this model aside from the chest armour. It just comes out looking a bit like comedy fake breasts to me.  ;D

I particularly like what you have done with the head.

Now you have said that, I can't help thinking of blackadder.

That aside, I really like it-particularly the yellow stitching hem-kind of ties the arms in.

I like how the armour looks like it was really put on over the clothes. As if he took it just for the situation and doesn't wear it full time.

Have to agree with Kierkegaard, the chest armour looks a little odd, but the rest of the model is excellent.

Ahem ::) , what can I say, the idea was to do something like the Cadian breastplate

but change it a little to make it more unique, now I can see that maybe I rounded it up to much.

I was actually pretty happy with how it turned out but now that you mention it I can't look at it anymore, Damn  you dirty minded people ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I am happy you like how his hair turned out, I never saw any model with curly hair and I gave it a try

Ciao
