Why aren't you sculpting the shoulder on the armature you sculpted the torso on?

 

[Usurper]

1, because the arms were fibre glassed out to the side, and I will not be walking around like a mummy............ see photo below.
2, because even if they were not, the mannequin has skinny little shoulders.................see photo below.

 I had to considerably flesh out the whole upper body on the mannequin when I sculpted the torso

 

[AlphaTech686]

Hey dude sorry. For all I know you are the same size as the maniquin. You could just do a quick plaster bandage cast of your shoulder and sculpt right on it. Just a thought.

 

[Usurper]

no need to apologise, it did cross my mind when I did the bicep, then I remembered how skinny it was.

Plaster bandage would have been a better idea, hindsight huh, but I am well under way now so meh lol.

Bicep armour. hopefully painted over the weekend.

 

[Usurper]

shoulder piece, just going to get the other side looking the same then I will tighten up the shapes and smooth before the details.

 

[XilianX2010]

Wow that shoulder sculpt looks awesome! Coming along nicely   

 

[troggs]

Great job on the bicep armour, especially the battle damage, and the shoulder piece looks like it's taking shape nicely

 

[Usurper]

Thanks guys.  im busting my ass trying to keep this thing moving, as I think come dragon con it may end up on the shelf again for a while, who knows.

Keep on movin Lee. That shoulder piece is coming along nicely.

 

[munson]

Awesome work Lee and great to see you nailing your suit out. I think I might try the plastiflex for the Borg torso armor, shoulder bells. Can't wait to see this finished.

 

[Usurper]

Its really good stuff Doug, it flexes like a stiff urethane, but paints like resin ( ie very easily ) so far I have tested these on it.

20 yr old Humbrol model airplane paint = Stuck great.
water based enamel from diy store = Stuck great.
neat FW inks = Stuck great.
Faskolor RC car paint = Stuck great.
Car spray paint in a aerosol = Stuck great.

oh and its very light weight.

 

[made007]

LoL

[AlphaTech686]

Nicely done my friend.

 

[Bronson]

Hey lee. Been a while I know mate,glad to see your still hard at it, looking great so far love the battle damage look ;-)

 

[sonic7o7]

I always love how you paint. That looks like real metal. I still can't get it down when it comes to painting latex

 

[XilianX2010]

Those look absolutely stunning! and so very realistic! Awesome!

 

[Usurper]

Just need to tighten up some lines, eat and then I will texture it up and add some damage before calling this done later tonight.
