The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Armed and equipped

Had time for a little more work on this Kommando character, so I finished off his other arm. I ended up moving the hand just a liiitle bit off to one side of his face, because I realized that I would never, ever be able to paint that face properly if I had that hand in the way. Hopefully the effect still works, though.

Edit: Actually, I just bent it back a little bit more to the front just now (post-pictures), since it didn't look enough like he was 'shhh'ing, so... there you go.

 

Z sent a lovely backpack along for him that I've been playing around with a bit. I stuck a Stikkbomb up top to hide where the backpack and the body join. I could have sculpted it onto the back properly, but I'm leaving the pack as removable for now just to make painting easier. I also added a small coil of rope that's hanging from the bottom of the pack right now - when I have  a bit more time, I'm going to add a grappling hook next to the rope, and then probably hang a couple more gubbinz off the thing like a tankbusta bomb or that sort of thing. I'm also going to smooth out the sculpt a bit in the back, around the boot area.

Some of you may notice there's substantially more white styrene replacements on this model than in the previous photos. Much to my lament, it seems every time I handle the miniature like the big, ham-fisted moron that I am, some of the tiny details end up falling off, like his teeth or goggles. Very upsetting, but I'm trying to keep up with it by simply putting new ones on, since I can't for the life of me find something like a goggle lens when it falls off.
