Wow,
Did you do each layer before letting the previous dry?

at that stage, i dont... hence 3 hours from armature hoeever from a couple points after its a "let it dry or you'll get fingerprints onit" moment ... so this next stage took about 2 hours  the cloak is a bit messy ATM.. but its a "shaping" stage so i can remove it (thinking about casting see?! )  |

Looks really really sweet. Have you thought about doing your own line of miniatures? Perhaps civilians in the forty-first millienimum....  |

looks great! he will look even cooler when you get that cloak done, it will give him so much more character(ontop of what he already has)

Faramir... i've thought about it but i lack the skills or the ability to really sell them... plus my inspiration fairy often needs a kickstart but my pirates ( theholyart.co.uk/pirates.asp ) maybe cast in the new year... at a cost of £4 each anywho heres this mornings armature for the cloak... ill be pulling out / covering over the brass rod & once its dry cutting it off for ease of casting...  |

the cloak was glued on with GW glue cause it sucks & breaks easy... after that stage i broke 2 of the pins ff.. the other 2 were too integral... then some blending & the cloak will break off cleanly if i was to cast it (but i wont) ... practise see? the head was pinned to the Ebob armature using brass rod... the length of th pin also provided a armature / guide for the neck so close! but i have to go outto a party now... curse this social life thingy! :lol:  |

Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow!
Greenstuff_gav, is there anyway I could possibly commission you to scuplt a range (roughly four) models, with interchangable heads, arms, etc. I'll cast them, but I need the greens.
You see, I'm making a Cityfight board - not all cities are deprived of civilian life... so I figured some 'civvies' would look fitting. Although they need to be in the fourty first millenimum theme....
This is most likely me just procrastinating, but it may be a possiblity, dependent apon the cost...

:insert embarressed smilie here* thanks for the compliment... dunno if im that good yet :lol: all i'd need would be conceept sketches to follow.. i'd give it a go i found that to get casts of The Pirates.. 12x of 6 different figs works out at £3.80 each including moulding... unless you can cast cheaper in which i'd commission you to cast some minis for me :lol: |

Well, it probably won't be for a while yet.... I will be broke next week, so you are looking at end of January at the latest. Chirstmas = giving $$ and recieving $$, it cancels each other out!
As for casting, well, I will soon have the materials to home cast... in resin/metal, so thats what I was refering to. How much that would cost... I don't know, per mini, I know how much the materials cost though.
Cheers mate, this one looks sweet.

I'll drop you a PM. If there is interest, I know of a few people who would appreciate casts of your work.
It looks really good though. Top notch.
Have you thought about doing like a Servitor, from 40k? With gituar wire sticking out of the eyes and arms, etc. I'll find some concept art for it. That would be slightly easier.
Looks awesome - too jealous of your skill!

thats awesome greenstuff_Gav!
like FM said, many people are jealous of your skill, and think you should start casting, maybe even make a buissness.
keep up the good work!
