The Tutorial.

Lamenter — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:55:53 +0000

I’ve been promising a tutorial on my method for creating an Actual Scale Space Marine for a very long time.

Well, version 1.0 of How to Make an Actual Scale Space Marine is here.

I’ve most likely left out huge chunks and forgotten a lot of stuff that should have been in there but it’s still a pretty massive guide. Somewhere in the region of 80 photos (and a lot less text). Feedback on this is very welcome, as this will be the first of a series of tutorials, and I like to know where I’ve gone wrong.

More test models

Emperor's Spear Assault Marine

I’m a real fan of this colour scheme, and only made this marine as a test piece really. The battle damage on the armour could have been painted better, but I guess my next attempt will be an improvement.

My first atempt at a Mk V armour. The head was taken from the Black Reach Missile Launcher Marine.

My first Grey Knight. Technically he's not finished yet. I'm planning to make myself a Daemonhunters army all in actual scale.

Starting with the original conversions

I thought I’d begin by posting images of the first actual scale conversions I did. If you’ve seen these before them before just skip to the next post

Sorry no “work in progress” shots of these. Also whenever the Lamenter Space Marine (with the plasma gun) shows up repeatedly in any shot he’s there for size comparison purposes. Expect to see him on a regular basis.

These were my first actual scale conversions. I used the trimmed down terminator arms on these models. The trims on the pads were done with plasticard. Overall I was thrilled they turned out so well.
