Hey everyone! First real thread here and I'm happy to finally contribute with awesome WIP and finished photos.
See, instead of making a thread and never really updating it (I am a slow builder, mostly because I lack the cash to go all-in), I figured everyone would much rather check out a finished build.
Now, I'll be doing a fair bit of self-promoting here. I've got a facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Durosarmory where all my photos (and a lot more!) can be found. I am usually seen at danish cons like SVSCon, where I have been a part of a rather big team of amazing cosplayers. If you like what you see here and want to see more, then I suggest you give it a like.
One more thing before I start the stream of photos. I love nothing more than constructive criticism. So go ahead and tell me if you see something I can improve or an easier way of doing something. I know most of my seams are relatively bad, but can you really expect perfection from the first build?
Now, onto the fun stuffs!
Final result!
I need to raise the chest and shoulders and get myself a nice neckseal but I am pretty darn happy with the end result
This is what I wanted to make. I am a huge Black Templars fan and I love the pain train that is the Emperor's Champion. I love the mini, I love the lore and I love how he can lay down the hurt on pretty much anything he touches. So yeah, I had to make a Champion.
I decided to start on one of the most iconic pieces.. The helmet. I spent a weekend at a friends house and I knocked this one out in a few hours then spent the rest of the time dicking around with details and drawing on the foam and stuff.
Here you start to see the iconic Space Marine helmet shape with the mohawk floating around.
I got the wreath and front piece all done, and drew a maltese cross on it.. I decided not to use the drawing on the final helmet. Would've looked strange.
Here's one of the coolest things ever. Glowy glasses from GloSpex. They fit the eye sockets perfectly and are really easy to use. They're not that visible in daylight but they're amaaazing at night!
And here it is in all its glory. The finished piece, painted and weathered. From start to finish it took me right around 2 months, due to economic troubles (this hobby is reeeaaally expensive for a student!). If I had everything lying around, it should take less than a day now...
Awwww yeeeeeaaaaaahhh.......!
