Classic Doom Marine Bobblehead From RAGE

[TymanRoach]

Hello everyone,

Long time no see.

Hopefully somebody besides me remembers the Doom marine easter egg in id software's (underrated in my opinion) 2011 first person shooter RAGE. I recently replayed it and had a blast, I also remembered how much I loved the look of the classic doom slayer in bobblehead form, so i decided to make it in real life.

I've been meaning to do this project for years now but never followed through until now. I've been working with a very talented 3D artist to recreate, and eventually 3D print and paint this little beauty.

The modeling is basically complete at this point, I'm currently looking for springs that will work for the head before i get it printed. I'll be posting updates as the project nears completion.


Please enjoy and stayed tuned for updates!

Oh, now that's awesome!

Love it!

Can't wait to see it finished. Brings back fond memories of playing multiplayer DOOM in high school with my buddies!

Update,

Several small improvements have been made to the model, Most of them probably unnoticeable unless your really looking for things to nit-pick... Which I was. The base, gloves, neck armor, breast-plate, back-plate, pouches, and shoulder pads have all been "fixed" to bring it about as close to 100% accurate as possible.

I had considered adding elbow pads like the original sprite had, but ultimately decided against it.

Its being printed as I'm writing this, So i will post pictures of how it turns out.

Finally got some free time on my hands, Hoping to finish up this little project.
I'm currently playing around with the color scheme trying to get it just right. In the meantime I figured I would post some updates on how the model turned out.

This was the very first print. A few changes have been made to the model since then, But this one still came out looking great.

Testing springs out. So far so good.

The guy on the right is what it looks like when you print a model straight from the game files lol. Lets call it the prototype.

Really happy with how it came out. Still messing around with colors, cant get it quite right looking... might have some time next weekend to more try painting

First paint test. Just a rough base coat to try out the colors. Not sure yet what level of detail/shading i want take this too.

Its not bad, But I'm not happy with the green... I'll try some other tones later
