Ok - had a fair bit of feedback on this and I think shoulderpads are the way to go. Maerlyn makes a good point that the shoulders sag a lot without them. And it\'s also been said about it looking like a heavily armoured dude without the heavily armoured part which makes sense too.
I\'ve gotten the shoulderpads mostly done - I just need to tweak the spiky one because it\'s a bit weird at the moment. Without shoulder pads makes it look rabid like it\'s going to run in rashly and cut sick. I think with shoulder pads it makes it look brutal.
I like brutal more - fits the theme. Maybe one day I\'ll make a DP without the pads and do it up as Khorne. That suits...
Here\'s the pics:
I\'ve been really enjoying the sculpting side of this model. I\'ve tried using water, KY, not vaseline because I don\'t want to deal with the residue and the latest I\'ve used is a clear Aloe Vera product. It\'s really really flipping good! Aloe makes it so easy to work with. I\'d imagine vas would stay workable longer, but aloe is easy to wash off and easy to deal with. Vaseline gets on everything and is a pain to remove so I really really like the Aloe. Water doesn\'t work that well for me and KY is strange to work with in this situation.
And I find that the head doesn\'t look so oversized now that I added the shoulderpads in. Double bonus coz I really like the head
