when constructing the upper legs I'd reccommend smoothing over the side tassets if at all possible. other than that its all good.

rofl, dead commando strikes again

i'm with ides on this one, the upper legs look a little spindly. other than that it look awesome. the chest and face plate in particular are well done, and kudos for the reconstructed trigger finger!

one last thing...maybe up the base size?

If there is something wrong with the upper legs (And other people I've asked who have seen it in real life have said the opposite) I know what it is. I may have spaced the legs a little too far.

They look really class. Just fix the upper legs, they need thickened.

I love the huge chainswords.

Looks good man. I love Plague Marines, so I'll be watching this thread like a hawk. By the way, are these Pre-heresy?

Looking good so far.. The legs on the top could use tome bulking, and maybe less bulking on the lower legs next time. Just have to see where you go concerning the top.

Over all, i'd extend the PC strip all the way down the chain sword, and make the other shoulder pad plated like the one w/ GS. Nice helmet sculpting too. What was your base head there?

I suggest tackling Iron Armor/MKIII for your next one.. Death Guard look amazing in it!

hey nanolathe,

looks good dude.

C&C -
- i'm with the others on the upper legs. you dont neccissarily need to go over the hip pads but layered up to them should be sufficient.
- also same with erus on the sword. looks kinda off with the pc just on part. making it full length will also improve the feel of it being larger.
- on the left arm are you gonna tie the power cord into something? looks unnecessary if you're aren't gonna hook it to anything. i'd probably cut it off myself.

seriously does look good dude. really like the chest work and that skull not to mention that face plate.

keep up the pics on this work!

Very nice, I'm always astounded when I see good greenstuff work. I can never do anything as good as that, especially the smooth sharp angles and the details.

Ok everyone, stop telling me about the sword. I know, I'm not leaving it like that. I'll see what I can do with the legs without going over the top. give me a few days and there will be more pics.

take it easy mate, no one is having a go, and you did ask for C&C.

these guys just don't want to see something like that overshadow what is an absolutely stunning peice of work.

You know what it's like when someone tells you the same thing 3 times when you heard them the first, right?

Ok, One leg is beefed up, and I have to admit it looks a little cooler, give me another 'slow' day and I'll have done the other. Both the arm pad and sword have been done too.

Next update will have him primed and ready for last minute changes
