Title: Commissar Rule - sort of wip...
Post by: Flinty on March 31, 2010, 06:47:11 PM
My attempt at a Commissar and first foray into major filling, using milliput which I have to say I found to have very poor adhesive qualities on a 1-to-1 mix.

He started as a rather slight Andreas minature, so following Vermis's lead, I attempted to bulk him out. I should have paid more attention to the shoulders, but....

I totally failed to replicate the braid on the front of his jacket, so hid it under what will be a dashing white silk scarf...

Due to being smaller than Eisenhorn, the 28mm Catachan/Cadian weaponry scales quite well, although you can see I forgot to wash the mini before undercoating...

Thank you Marco

What you've posted is this:

[img]http://<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/48875532@N03/4479554080/" title="ComRule2 by Flintyw6, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2716/4479554080_36a8bb435b_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="ComRule2" /></a>[/img]

You want just the bit that looks like this (found inside the img src="Quotes")
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2716/4479554080_36a8bb435b.jpg

Notice the _m (underscore m) that goes before the .jpg filetype has been removed, otherwise it would link to a smaller "medium size" photo.

Now put this inside image tags:
[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2716/4479554080_36a8bb435b.jpg[/img]

And you'll get:

I'll let you adjust your post as appropriate.

Thanks again Marco - my age is giving me away - along with my inability get anything in focus...

He's a little more flamboyantly dressed than your average commisar, but I rather like the look (and it does seem a bit odd that they're all so sombre since within the imperium human nature normally exerts an influence sooner or later).  The head certainly works well - gives him a very stern aspect, as does the weaponry.

The flamboyance puts him in Commissar Cain territory - which is good.
