mark III leg sculpting project

I'll post here as it advances through the stages.

To the left, the legs i'm sculpting.
In the center, the model i'm basing them on.

Wooooh I like it~

You've gotten it quite smooth too. wink  

[Ophiuchus]

Its a b*****d to smooth out by hand like that. Takes forever.  

[Shinobi_8745]

Tell me about it, I've been busy smoothing stuff out for some minis too myself and it's damn time-consuming.

Progress 2!

The models and stuff in the background haven't been moved or touched at all! pirate

I like that you're making the upper leg armour thicker, you're going to leave the groin-armour? I'd recon it'd be hard to move if it got thicker.

But I like the progress, knee-pad next I presume?

Mark three armor codpieces were protected by a... panel. A big flat sheet. As you can see on the guy he's being based on. And yea, knee's the next step.

I noticed that now when I found my old Mk III Rogue Trader marine.

The problem with the old RT figures is their size and detail. The torso pieces have changed since then, even on MK 6 marines. So it's a little bit about copying the old model, and a little bit about making it match the CURRENT line.

No knee yet, but here's the rear leg sectional plate on the lower half.

that would take a lot of dedication....
