    Tabard is done

    Thousand Sons

    Thank you to everyone for your support and respect. I believe I'm almost done. I really only need a tabard and to make the reverse side of the power pack, the latter involving more outlining but relatively trivial whereas the former I believe I'll take a fairly uniform KSons insignia. Not too...

    Thousand Sons

    Been a minute so here's some update. I've decided to make this headdress. Was so hard to choose from so many options. I've also decided it will glue to the back of the head and have recolored the sides to approximate the curves of the headpiece. I don't think I was able to do entirely what I set...

    Pauldrons done. These were a little sloppy. Going to go back and even out some lines.

    Gun's finished. I'm really enjoying this so far.

    Thousand Sons

    Some update. Trying to key in the details on the weapon and arm. Wondering about the elbow armour. Does it make sense? I want it to have the look of being rounder and formed around the arm. I'm thinking of making an extra piece but am not sure of the design it would take. Almost thinking if I...

    Hello people

    Needs more chains, haha. For real though, your model looks great.

    I might eventually try something like that. Right now this is all I can muster. Planning to scan this somehow so I can then use it and alter as desired.

    Thousand Sons

    Some update. Got new Prismacolors and revamped colors and details plus colored the power pack. Still got guns, arms, pauldrons, tabard, and head piece to work on.

    Thousand Sons

    Of course. Some other things are less measured out done by free hand like the many flowing lines trimming the armor. I think it perfectly reflects tzeench anyways to show ever-changing patterns on his soldiers. Perfectly imperfect. Admittedly I do wished I could make for tidier looking work. My...

    Haha I suppose that'll do the trick. I just use my ruler.

    Thousand Sons

    Yes. I'm mostly following some templates from Jim Bowen and Dsin Zdan. I've taken the templates from Jim's intercessors and Dsin's rubric marines and have traced them out, then modified them by hand. I follow a process similar to welding if you think about it. I'll place a template down and hold...

    Some update. Trying to flesh out the details on the gun and pack.

    Super cool Tie model. Great work and what a wonderful Tie you've decided to create. You should make a Tie Reaper. They might be my favorite version. Totally logistical and built to support troops.

    A project I'm working on is crafting my own Thousand Sons in Jim Bowen's style. Also a big thanks to Sdin Dzan at ChibiUniverse paper for inspiration. Check out his work on Facebook if you haven't and send him love and support. More will come with varying armor schemes.

    heavy flamer

    Looking over things, I see Jim Bowen's Terminator has a a good heavy flamer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_k_YPZUAy-aI9I5T_ZX9EFquWZc9aQnK/view?usp=drivesdk

    Modeling for dummies

    I love using a compass. I thought myself how to make a perfect oval for oval shaped bases. I’m thinking of going back to that and recreating templates by hand. I can’t draw something as clean or perfectly colored as I could in a computer but there’s benefit of flexibility and freedom with a pen...

    Modeling for dummies

    I haven’t used any programs. Probably would like to make things like Jim Bowen’s Blockhead 40K minis. Pretty much just think of branching off of this template with my own ideas for models and weapons, possibly different posing. Can’t see myself getting too complicated yet but I’m just barely...

    Modeling for dummies

    I’ve seen this too. Love the Vitruvian man. Da Vinci was truly a genius. I’ve kinda drawn up some stuff to follow these rules but nothing incredible. I might give it a go again. My prints mostly come from my local library but their printers have been spitting out bad prints so I might consider...

    Modeling for dummies

    I have a been fascinated by researching model sizes and dimensions. For about six months to a year I’ve been interested in paper modeling 40K models and just finally getting into building minis. Going into this I have thought of human anatomy and how to draw proportionately. The rule I’ve...
