Wish Me Luck - my First WIPs! -First One Completed

[capthugeca]

Well, I've finished the first one (the one on the left) as you can see:-



It measures up quite well with the real Artizan ones though I am still not happy with the length of its arms - particularly the left one.

this is excellent. the miniature looks really nice.
what gun did you use?
how much are you going to save over all?
and the arms look fine. i often fine you get goofy looking poses in metals.

Thanks for your encouragement, TW

The gun was from my bits box and comes from an em-4 Miniatures that I re-armed some years back (see the bottom figure at http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/SCAVENGERS.html).

Saving isn't the issue so it's not something I've thought about. I wanted a few more poses and to give some of the cultists knives and clubs so that what the other five will have.

Great job
Very inspirational. 
The arms look fine
I have the artisan cultists and like you I didn’t like the limited number of poses.
Seeing your thread I may try this myself sometime.
Another project added to the very, very long list.
Great work.

Looking good! Excellent work.

[Gluteus Maximus]

I'm very impressed - the two figures work very well together! Fair enough, the arms are a little long, but there are far too many experienced professional figure sculpters who repeatedly do this, so with yours being a first time attempt, I wouldn't worry about it. I would certainly be happy to use your figures.

The really good news is that you will improve with each figure you do, so in a few months time the results should be amazing.

Great stuff

That's the most alternative use I've seen of Victrix new napoleonics yet. 

You could probably use any old lying around plastic mini for this... use an orc to make a brute.

Hmmm... Napoleonic cultists. 

Great work on him. I love how he turned out.

[Ironworker]

Great job on those cultist!  I might have to give that a try. 

[Bako]

That matchs rather well. He's a little tall and looks to have bell-bottoms, but otherwise I think he looks the part.

[Navy Colt]

Ambitious project! & well done!


I like the cultists!!!

[capthugeca]

Thanks for all your kind words, people.
I agree about the bagginess of his trousers. Originally the trousers were rather thin but I rather overdid it.
With the arm-length problem, I think that I will try using Victrix arms with the hands from the GW figures and see how that goes.

One thing I keep forgetting to mention is how good the Victrix plastic is to work with. I don't know how it is different but it is far easier to work with compared with GW and Warlord.
