Half-Life 2 Strider Diorama

[Slukaj]

I built this as a 4H project because I wanted to test my skills w/ clay. It was rudimentary work, I'm sure, but I'm pleased with the end result nonetheless.

Making the torso...

Legs made of styrene modeling rods...

Legs were bent with a torch and good old fashion muscles. And Futurama.

Added more clay...

And I modified some Tamiya PMC figures for Combine Overwatch Soldiers, too.

I was quite pleased with how this guy turned out. I'm hoping to try out some other Half-Life themed dioramas in the future, and I can only hope they'll turn out this nice.

Cool, I've never seen anyone make something like that from Half-Life before.
Looking good, I like it.

Awesome! You should consider doing the Dog vs. Strider fight if you do another one.

 

[Slukaj]

Thanks for the kind words!

Now I want one!! I love how you got the sort of relaxed hang of the body just right.

What paint did you use to get that shine to it?
