I think I'll use Elysians for the Spec ops. I'm going for a more been in the shit sort of look. And yes, our past experience does drive my modelling.<br /><br />@Col. Hessler - Have a look for Am Tech wax carvers mate, they're great.<br /><br />@GSS - Cream, he's not a paymaster mate ;-) I'm actually thinking it's either going to be red or black, I'm just not sure yet.<br /><br />@Max - I'll look forward to see him done mate.<br /><br />@Blitzspear - Great minds mate, can't wait to see your sculpting.<br /><br />@Stephen - Fingers crossed it'll turn out ok and I don't botch it up.<br /><br />@Tristan - I remember him, he's a cracking model.<br /><br />@Gotthammer - PMSL, did it have a milk bottle on the base.<br /><br />@to Kevin - I know that guy although I just can't remember his name even though I've read the books :-(<br /><br />@zzzzzz - Here's hoping he turns out ok, I'm feeling like I've set myself up for a fall on this one.<br /><br />@Hudson - But would you date her? I'm not sure I could go out with a girl who's harder than me.<br /><br />@TK Elessar - There's no a lot of love for the GW model.<br /><br />@2501 - Interesting challenge mate, I'll look forward to seeing how you pull it off.Col.

He'd fit in perfectly with any IG army (but even especially catachan) and look a little different to the harker model.<br /><br />I happen to have two and keep hunting for a buddy with an IG army to take one.Tristan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542205146980688446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980965597843358498.post-67458028761378430952010-03-31T11:23:06.329-07:002010-03-31T11:23:06.329-07:00truth be told, I've not much cared for that mo...truth be told, I've not much cared for that model either.

I'm not a big fan of this one either! for pritty much the same reasons. Cept the mohawk althow it's so close cropped it shouldn't count as one lol. The reason i was thinking about it was my attempt to sculpt a boosh hat last night and wondering what that head would look good on. I'll blog it tonight and see what ya all think.Blitzspearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424592714649408365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980965597843358498.post-46066415515996251602010-03-31T11:11:26.442-07:002010-03-31T11:11:26.442-07:00Yeah, I didn't like the Harker model too much ...Yeah, I didn't like the Harker model too much either... that's why I went for one from Heresy Miniatures.
