Howdy ya'll. I've been working (some might say obsessively/fiendishly) on my Space Marine, Mors Dominus (Death Lord). Here is the first of many pics: (I apologize for the poor lighting. It is 11:30pm here so I had to take these in my basement)
The Helmet is just a mock up at this point (form fit to my sizable noggin) to give some perspective in size. I have plans for a pepakura helmet which is taking some time (as all good things must).
I still have the front toe banding to apply, the knee bracers, and some other accouterments, plus plastidip, support structure for the inside, some sort of support system to hold the darned thing up.
I'm not wild about the knee cappers, so will probably change them out.
I am awaiting my 3d printer to start making the skulls and purity seals specific to the Grey Knight.
He's going to either resemble this fellow:
This fellow:
Or this fellow:
In reality, he'll take the best of all three and become a hybrid. The Emperor's Chosen (read: Red headed step child)
Bought some flexible PVC today for the support. Can't wait to get that installed!
Tomorrow I begin work on the stilts. I have all the supplies, purchased a jigsaw, then found that Harbor freight jigsaws do not include the blade for the saw. So. await I must.
I've started on the torso. When I first started this project, I thought buying supplies would never end. I still need a few things, but am going to see what I have in my overflowing craft room to use on this Heavenly monster. HF has a sale right now on foam... $7 on the foam mats. I bought 10 packs of them before the sale, since they weren't advertised. I also purchased 5 sheets of minicel. I think I'm good in the foam department.
I've found that rubber cement is the bomb in holding the foam together. It takes some work, and making an error in size can really mess things up (bonds quite nicely and firmly). But the seams are.. virtually seamless.
Thank you Hasenbrau for offering the templates! Makes things very easy!
