Hi,

I have been designing my 2nd sons of medusa space marine and decided to add it to a WIP thread before painting it and I may update the thread wile going through the different stages painting it. I haven't decided if I have finished it yet and may add some more accessories' and I'm not sure about the banner .. may change it! I have no idea what I'm going to do for the base yet but will keep you posted :)

I have used space marine parts and greenstuff so far hope you like it

very nice, very professional! only one crit, the knife looks odd. why would you have a knife in your hand when you have a bloody great big thunderhammer in the other that requires 2 hands?

btw are you using just gs? it looks like something (magic sculpt or similar) is mixed with it

also maybe add some small creases to the banner where it comes off the pole. i know the chain hides it on the front, but just a couple on the back would look nice

yeah ran out of inspiration and went through a few ideas but the knife looked good so i went with that , i may have him hold onto some part of the base or something, what would you do?

im not happy with the banner because of this so i mite scrap the idea although i have drawn a cool banner idea :)

got ideas for the mase. as he is standing there looking triumphant i reckon have him standing on a beheded body, holding the head. it's corny but hey..

i like the idea of the banner, looks good. maybe have some text underneath it?

just one thing I'm not quite getting.. the bone area is that exposed bone???? if so why is it built over his skin shouldn't it be the other way round ???

other than that looking good.

Aaaah That makes sense ...cool......maybe add a couple of rivets or similar to it to sell the constructed mak rather than exposed bone idea...

Great stuff so far man, really feeling it.

The mask kinda reminds me of the characters in Army of Two.

Perosnally i think in his off hand he should have his pistol, I like the idea of the fallen enemies head but its very cliche. Saying that though the idea I had was him stood hammer in one hand, pistol in the other ready for war in front of his mean, cliche as hell too haha.

Either will look good though judging from your work so far. How are you lookingto paint him? crisp an clean or more realistic?

im planning to paint him with a realistic feel but with clean areas to. also i will use effective lighting i usualy take a picture of the model under a bright light and work from that. im unsure if im goin to use metalics yet

Really cool model, how did you do the mask? Is it a push mould or a free hand sculpt? I really like the Sons of Medusa colour scheme from the book, not seen many painted though, so am interesetd to see how this pans out.

all of the greenstuff is sculpted freehand directly on the model i find that its the best way to get a natural look.

here is a closer look of the chest i have used small parts out of an old watch for the parts under the chest and the spikes are pin heads, to make them strong i sculpted the chest first then drilled the holes and gue'd them in. then i sculped some more grensuff around them

i may try and get it a bit smoother by adding some more greenstuff

i also like the way the light hits the model in this photo so i will proberly use this photo as a reference wile painting
