Hello!
First of all - for those of you that are worried this blog will feature only miniatures and not gunpla/other stuff - fear not. It just happens that this is my current project and I want to share it here (kinda like a "warm up" i guess).
What you will see here is a little diorama, or a vignette if you preffer shwing a certian idea i had in mind, also i want to push my painting skills forward and this is a good pratice on highlighting as there is many edges here.
As you may or may not now, most of GW miniatures don't give that much of a poseability, sure some of them have realy nice dynamic poses but if you want to make something diffrent more often than not you will have to mod some of them.
Now here is the thing:
I am absolutely dreadful at sculpting.
Yeah... not an ideal situation is it? Anyway i'm still gonna try.
Now on to the build itself, first i started with legs. For my needs i had to get kneeling legs, and as i don't have any in my bits here is what i did: cutted the legs in to 3 parts, drill holes, insert wire. Not that difficult, is it? I found that somewhere on the intrewebz quite a while ago so decided to give it a try, and here it is:
They might appear as not perfectly scribed - that's because I already started making chiping and weathering. I want to make the Space Marine removeable -just in case I would sell it to some gamer (wich would be pretty awesome). Also here is my idea for both mounting in to the plint and to make sure i won't mess up the height.
Looks a bit silly now but it will pay of later. And again if you look really hard you might notice more than just the base in the last picture. In fact that is a Chaos Space Marine wich will be the one gettin teared in to pieces.
All nice and ready for some greenstuff. A little bit of reposing in arms area as well, just wait and see me butchering it all with my lack of greenstuff skils.
And finaly we go back to our Flesh Tearers hero that is yet to recive upper half of his body and a name. While You may help me with the later, here is how i dealt with the former:
Not that bad of a pose is it? Still this fella is in dire need of some greenstuff - I will do my best to deliver...
Now I guess it is just fair to end this post with a shot of how i planed the whole scene, so there we go:
That will be everything for now, more updates should follow soon.
Cheers

all cut in to pieces
and time for some splits
and done
Now you can propably see something white in the background on last picture. That would be the base, now I want to make a tiled floor that will look like some kind of gothic monastery. I'm not going to lie - that's pretty easy to make, just scribe some lines in a piece of pla-plate. The fun part will be the painting. But more about that in future posts, I had some crazy ideas on how to do that BUT decided aginst it and going more "traditional" way, altough I propably will try that idea on a scrap piece just to see if it even works.
