I’ve been sitting on this model for far too long. I had intended to paint him, but just haven’t gotten round to it. Enough people have shown an interest in purchasing him, so here he is.

Edit: SOLD

Miscellaneous For Sale, Vulkan He'stan

This is the beginning of a Blood Raven HQ that is meant to count as Vulkan He’stan. The brief for the project was to retain the wargear and pose of my previous Vulkan conversion (only in regular scale), and to make the details Blood Raven specific. I originally built the model with a normal Mark VIII chest, but changed it by replacing the back of the collar. The part came from the AoBR Captain, and with a bit of greenstuff fits perfectly.

Still to come, added iconography, a sweeping cloak with raven feathers, stylised weapons. Still not entirely sure how I’m going to replicate the gauntlet weapon.

So I’ve not had any updates for a little while, mostly because of the digital release of Blood Bowl (best game ever). Anyhow I made some progress on the Vulkan model. Re-based him as suggested, added shoulder pads and began work on the cloak.

I was going to sculpt the cloak with super sculpey and attach after, but my oven’s broken and won’t reach the heat necessary to treat it. Instead I’ve used greenstuff, slowly building it up. The basic shape is there now but I need to smooth out the inside and add the scales to the outside. I’ve tried to convey a sense of the wind blowing from behind him in the direction of his aim, hence the shape of the collar.

The spear still needs some work too. I’ll probably shorten it a bit and add some extra details. Also the plasticard is too thin but I don’t have any thicker stuff on hand right now. I think I’ll be be leaving off the icon on the back pack, as it’s one of the elements of the official model I dislike.
