The ones you have created have been a big inspiration to me. I hope to begin paint the model soon (working on too many projects...).<br /><br />Great to hear you liked the poem too.

The servo skull came much later in the process. :) <br /><br />I still have a little more work to do on the model's armor with the plant-life. I have considered adding a lot more vines and branches, but I am worried I could overdo the detailing on the model.

I am glad you have found the posts on this blog about casting useful. :)<br /><br />It is a very big step to take though as you said. If you want to get nice casts you really have to invest a fair amount of time and money. Feel free to send us an e-mail if you have further questions about casting. We would be glad to help out any way we can. :)Adam Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710889303035437886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-6090985454871874532017-08-06T19:34:00.809-07:002017-08-06T19:34:00.809-07:00Yeah I'm probably going to have to get into ca...Yeah I'm probably going to have to get into casting as I also want to do a terrain project that will rely on it.

I've been a little out of the loop lately, but I've been following the progress on the Thorne Moons Crusade when I can, and this is a great addition. the roses and the integrated skull on the shoulder are perfect touches.<br /><br />I think you could take the organic details even further though. There are a lot of mechanical details like cables and hoses, and even the claw on his pack that could be swapped out with twisted vines and branches to reinforce the symbiosis of the mechanical and the organic growth. I'd love to see armor details like a pauldron or leg plating be replaced with gnarled bark or twisted growth.Odiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640581334924139121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-21033140409018711752017-08-02T06:47:34.251-07:002017-08-02T06:47:34.251-07:00Wow the Elder One really came together excellently...Wow the Elder One really came together excellently! Those leather straps are a detail I had not noticed until now and one of my favorites, the clasps especially I am sure were quite difficult but very well executed. The servo arm is a much better size than the ridiculous ones Techmarine models typically have. The green work and heavy amount of converting on the model are to a level that it is very easy to forget that the base miniature you start with was almost entirely sculpted itself. Absolutely stunning work man, can't wait to see him painted.Red Wet Skeletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315822743529781387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-36448490734132379582017-07-31T22:11:35.774-07:002017-07-31T22:11:35.774-07:00I am glad you like the Elder One!

I think they would look nice on the newer Primaris marines. Getting enough of them for an army could be pretty tricky. I guess casting them would be the easiest option?
