First off, Thanks everyone for the comments! I really appreciate you guys taking the time to respond!
And in response, yes, I did go a bit crazy with the purity seals, and the idea behind having them would be pointless (super heated metal and wax arent a good mix!) but the idea behind it was to just make something (with the lack off tools and great abundance of sprues at my availability) really cool I guess....
But I do want to greatly improve apon this. I liked the idea of modeling the purity seals to flow with the cloak. But more or less, now I'm faced with the question of how to paint it. Make him look new and fresh, or ornate, weathered, and possibly battle damaged/hardened. I have a bit to consider with this piece, and I have already thought of plans for another one. But it would be something similar to this, minus the shield and pistol (it is a bit much), but 2x as many purity seals!.... give or take!!
If I had access to a knife, exacto blade, file, or green stuff, then I would have really gone to town with this, but bottom line is, I'm free to do that now. I hope to finish this before the next gamesday and enter it in the golden daemon (a whole year away!!) or failing that, fly out to the Chicago one in the summer.
Again, thanks for the comments, critisizm (all of which is constructive!), and advice. I hope to post pics of the process to a very wishful golden demon canidate (aka, I suck and will probably ask for help/tips)![]()
Um... I know its kinda weird to comment on this, but this is the warhammer 40,000 Conversion Contest winner of the 2005 LA Gamesday.
(please note, if that sounded ass-ish, I'm sorry, this really, really is not my intent! just a bit excited, it was my first ever win from GW for anything, so I was psyched!)
