I have a little bit more content for you today, first is the sniper I wanted to include in my band of adventurer's, I've gone for limited armour, as she would need to be mobile and quiet. It seems all the cool sniper names have been used, so thinking of calling her Hard Round, as she prefers solid ammo to lasers ! LOL
Yes this is a human female, I know hard to tell, as I haven't overly sexualised her and with the position of the rifle covers her chest, plus she is wearing a mask, but I can assure you she is female ! LOL
Next I thought Ceri needed a little extra firepower, and being that she is a tech expert I present Gunbot, for when it's just too dangerous for her to go in.
Thinking GB will be controlled by Ceri, rather than full AI. Last up today is the additional work I've done on Lofus missile launcher, I added a back brace to help stop twisting, bracing where the handle meets the weapon, as you wouldn't want the handle falling off. Some extra venting on the shaft, to clear the gases for faster reloads, and also some cooling pipes to run coolant down the body of the launcher, as you wouldn't want it overheating.
I've almost finished the last two crew that Dai suggested, and maybe another creation, but that will all have to wait for another post, so until next time stay safe and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Nice work, Dave! :-) I like them all! That missile launcher looks even better with those extra bits on - it's funny how the bits you've added in greenstuff I'd have added in plastic card or rod!
ReplyDeleteThank you John, it's turning into a very eclectic group ! LOL Plasticard and rod would work just as well, I'm just quicker with the greenstuff, the additions took about 10 mins, which wouldn't have covered the cutting time in plastic ! LOL
DeleteYou're cranking these out Dave, and some nice additions to your bazooka bull-shark too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, really want to get the group done so I can have some quick games with them, the additions worked out well, and have a purpose to.
DeleteYou really are just popping these out, they all look great, I look forward to seeing them painted.
ReplyDeleteThank you SD, when you are enjoying a project the creativity flows strong ! LOL The reverse can be said when not enjoying it ! I also look forward to seeing them in paint as well.
Deletenice sculpting Dave. if I can't get an over sexualized female in science fiction then where I can I get one????
ReplyDeleteoh wait, fantasy. Never mind, all is well. 😁
Thank you Stewart, don't worry there are plenty of companies out there that overly sexualise all their models in all genres, it's just a personal stand point of mine, especially as I have 3 daughters ! LOL
DeleteYou are mustering a most exciting crew, all of them are really cool!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber, it should certainly be a diverse bunch, and hopefully all their different skill sets, should keep them alive for at least a couple of games ! LOL
DeleteGreat looking additions to your crew!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain, hopefully I can get them cast soon, and get some paint on them ! LOL
DeleteSniper looks very cool. Getting a Vindicare Assassin vibe for sure.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the additions to the rocket launcher - perfect! Man, I wish that this fig was ready to buy on your site when i made my order...
Thank you Dai, any sniper will have a similar look (just less skull icons ! LOL)
DeleteGlad you like the additions, had to think hard on how I would design a rocket launcher, once I'd come up with a clear idea, it was pretty quick to do. I know postage is a killer for any small business, but wait until you see the other two you suggested ! LOL
THe niper looks great and I did wonder about the face, but the mask expained all - (great idea to avoid having to paint faces !). I did think 0riginally that the gunbot was the sniper's observer but it's the type of tracked bot I like, so two great addiitions. The added details to the rocket launcher do make it look a lot more convincing as a weapon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe, having a mask men't she could have a infra vision lens and night vision lens without having to change her scope, plus less need for camo paint ! LOL Just thought Ceri could do with a little extra firepower, currently working on another option for her as well. Dai's idea of adding more detail definitely paid off
DeleteThese look great, Dave. Your squad is really starting to fill out now too. As far as sexualization goes, she is like Samus Aran from Metroid. Nobody knew she was female until they saw her outside of the armor and then everyone thought Nintendo was genius for it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff, it is a very eclectic bunch ! LOL will be posting up the last of the sculpts today, then onto the painting of them all, of which has been started. Heard of Metroid, but never played it, so an interesting fact. The female form comes in all shapes and sizes, but in gaming terms it always seems to be the one type, as that's what sells, and don't get me started on the media portrayal ! LOL
DeleteYou are getting pretty prolific Dave - another couple of complex and beautiful sculpting jobs. I really like the bot.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark, they've been a great way to unwind from the bathroom nightmare that was, plus I really want to paint them, and have some games with the whole group. He's been on my desk for a long time, but once I had a use for him, it took no time at all to finish ! LOL
DeleteVery cool to see the WIP shots as I work my way backwards through time! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Azazel, it was Roger that asked for the greens, think he's checking that I actually sculpt these ! LOL
