LiquidLimn Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Personally, I have some absolutely crazy ideas in mind for my C'thulhu. *If* I can pull it off, it will be very nice. It's a big if. Like a lot of peeps, I have great ideas, but have problems moving them from my head to reality. We'll see how it goes. At the very least, it will make for a nice WIP thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwyksilver Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I've worked in inpatient and community psych for 20 years now. My sense of reality is really skewed and should never be used to judge. But in Baph's case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much nicer to live in my reality anyways! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadcubed Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That's an important point. I'm completely ambivalent about C'thulhu. I would be ambivalent whether he was super awesome or not. If he hadn't been on the kickstarter and just appeared in the store, it's unlikely I'd ever go after him. He's in my KS pile because I just couldn't pick and choose and decided to get all the add-ons. I'm pleased he's big, but that's all the requirement I really had. I'm so afraid to say. That my mind set was as Buglips. Eek. "couldn't pick and choose and decided to get all the add-ons." And "I'm pleased he's big, but that's all the requirement I really had."

Girot Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'd like to revisit Wyrmgear for a moment... A lot of people hissed and booed at the amount of detail.... REALLY?! Did you even look at it's neck, legs, or anything else on the model besides that TINY surface area of the shield? Have any of you ever attempted to sculpt layered armor or mechanical anything? It's an enormous PITA. A thousand hats off to the sculptor. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidLimn Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 A thousand hats off to the sculptor. I concur wholeheartedly. Are the sculpts perfect? No, but neither are the models I paint . All in all, the new models look fantastic. And all the open areas on Wyrmgear mean that I get to practice freehand! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the open areas on Wyrmgear mean that I get to practice freehand! My love for energy effects will have me sculpting some bulging iconography on those shields. The large armor plates I think are gonna get a very light coating of Crackle Paint to help simulate the "10,000 years underwater" look. That and seaweed. Maybe some barnacles if I'm feeling adventurous.

TheAuldGrump Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I haven't had any bad things to say about Wyrmgear - I intend to use the blank shields as a field for my own emblems. The Auld Grump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Engel Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 My only problem with Wyrmgyr is that I only pledged for the one. Mind, you could say that about too many things in this KS. On the subject of 'hopefully constructive' feedback; Please, please, please, sculpt the new Kaladrax with a hollow ribcage and seperate ribs, as opposed to a single 'block' with the ribs sculpted into it. We've been waiting a long time for an undead dragon model that does the idea justice, and now we might be getting two. . . . . . .

Now that doesn't sound like a production nightmare. :-P Though for an undead dragon I suppose it would be a fitting description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Engel Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It would entail doing the ribcage in two halves - Like a certain manufacturers undead horses, or indeed Airfix, who cut the metal for their 1/12 human skeleton kit in 1968. Given this is going to be a multi - component model anyway, this does not qualify as a 'nightmare'. The real problem - Other than fit, which any of the multi-part models will face anyway - Will be the necessity for at least one additional mould cavity, when compared with a solid ribcage. And intergrating this into the moulds layout - Without, in the worst case, having the components spilling onto multiple moulds. So the potential problems aren't matters of technical difficulty, so much as time and expense. If he follows the concept, rather than his previous incarnation, and the 'outsize' sculpts we've seen thus far suggest he will, then I suspect the latest incarnation of Kaladrax is the model most likely to benefit from digital sculpting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
