Here you can see how I capped the spikes, not quite the 'talons' I'd intended I really struggle with fine detail and I'm not sure DAS works that well fine. I'm not too upset though, the sculpting looks cool, if a little too like the roof of my bastion than the bone white bits they'll be painted as, still nevermind. All these spikes took a further 1 hour 10 minutes, taking us to 13 hours 55 minutes
The next night I went all out on the flesh fibre bundles on two towers, this took a further hour and 26 minutes.
Finding ways to overlap the fibres makes them slightly more interesting and I am finding myself trying to 'fill in' all the tower when I still want areas of the bonewhite structure to be visible. I'll try to take that into account on the other towers, four more to do, including the 4 and 5 tier towers, which is like another 5 three tier towers - roughly 3 hours 35 to go and then the bases...
15 hours 21 minutes is the current project time to date. I'm not sure whether you all think that's a lot of time but I'm still not doing more than 90 minutes in a sitting so unless it gets annoying it doesn't bother me.
Lovely work, Dwez!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter.
DeleteWhat sort of tools do you use to sculpt the clay for these?
ReplyDeleteI almost exclusively use the GW sculpting tool that came with an ebay auction for my metal Hive Tyrant, you can see it here: http://40kaddict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/nids-part-87-tyranid-bastion-growth-pt8.html
