Movie Marine Rhino and Sergeant

[odinsgrandson 11984]

I finished my Movie Marines project recently with the last two entries.

 

First off, I needed a rhino to finish off the lot of them. I converted this rhino quite some time ago, but I always had a sort of block when it came to painting it up. Eventually, I realized that it was the static boxiness of the rhino mini- no matter how much you convert and add, it is tough to make it dynamic.

 

In order to remedy this, I decided to add a base. This mini is mounted on an old CD-ROM that we never care to see again.

 

Second, I threw together the sergeant mini- in part because I've done lots of this kind of freehand on projects for commissions, but I haven't done it for myself very much. The lion banner was in part because I felt it would go well as a sort of personal heraldry icon on him.

 

I put the Rhino up on Cmon for anyone who cares to vote.

Yowsers, I agree full heartedly

Not too bad at all! Love the Rhino. The banner is righteous as well. Did you base it on a pre-exsisting banner or just sketch it out first? Is that Scicarius' head on that Sgt. model?

 

Cool stuff man.

Yep, that's a Sicarius head.

 

On the banner, that's my own design. I sort of sketched it out first. Mostly, I just painted it on the plastic banner, and worked out the details as I went.
