USE OF D_C's Truscale Method - 40K Terra

SteveBerenyi · 08-20-2007

I used Sculpy and you will see how. Sculpy is easier to shave than plastic and you can make it as thick as you want to:

My Beads

My Tools I used the point where the ink cartridge comes out for the small ones and the barrel for the bigger ones

Attaching

with roughly 1/8th inch spacers here are my results:

When i got the method down i did the start of a squad:

Believe me the other is more blurry

DONT KNOCK MY GS SKILLS IT WAS MY FIRST TIME:

Theyre Nurgle NE WAYS!!

and there you have it.

that certainly is esaier than using the spacers, though the main reason i use plastic spacers is because i can glue then with polystyrene cememnt.

good job. looking forward to seeing them finished.

Interesting method, well done.

I find it's easier to shave off the arrows from the legs for GSing as you can be a little more forgiving of the smoothing work... I must buy a sculpting tool too now that I think of it...my usual sharp knife just might not cut it... no pun intended.

hairyyahoo · 08-21-2007

looking good steve. seem like you're getting yours done much quicker than i am mine, too much time on you hands is what i think

i too am looking forward to seeing them finished.

SteveBerenyi · 08-21-2007

Honestly i did all of them in about 3 hrs.

the sculpting tool i have is plastic.... not so good. and i got some pointers on GSing so the next should go well.

Ides · 08-21-2007

Be careful lining up the feet with the upper legs. Its easier to keep the pose if you keep the legs lined up as they were... Well, that and mutilating the spacers as needed.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 09-01-2007

looking at the pics again, i think the shoulder spacers might be a bit big. hard to say fro mthose pics.

take a look at yahoos thread (howling at the moon) and have a look at his ones, which turned out very well

Well, with the shoulder pads on in one marine in an upside down pic, etc.. It looks better there.

hairyyahoo · 09-01-2007

the soulder spacers don't look too bad, maybe a bit wide but thats ok. as long as you throw some gs at them and do a ribbed joint thingy (what the hell are they actually called?) no one should notice.

Ides · 09-01-2007

I think soft armour would suffice...

Lord Commander Erus · 09-01-2007

Technically, isn't it the black carapace?

Ides · 09-01-2007

No, that is implanted in their torso, the soft armour is more likely a type of hermetically sealed body-glove composed of artificial muscle fiber that forms the bulk of the armour, drawing power from the pack.

Oh! that makes sense... I had a person tell me once it was the black carapace, and it confused me.

Ides · 09-01-2007

the black carapace is an implant that sends invasive nerve bundles into the marine's torso, which monitor his vital signs. During the last stages of enhancement, the Admech drill a number of connector ports in it so that the power armour links directly to the marine, the better to regulate temperature and compensate for illness.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 09-01-2007

wow a lecture on the intriacies of the black carapace (or vest if youre the artist on bloodquest

) that stem from a comment on that funny ribbed piping in the joints if marine armour.

very insightful, guys, thanks

Ides · 09-01-2007

we try to please.

BOT

I'd reccommend using yahoo's bigged up shoulder pads too.
