Finished Hammerstine

Hammerstine done and packed away till needed to clense Mars or the Termite empire lol.

As he had a bum eye on the cast i did it as a well bum eye with oil staines over his face to suggest hard combat. This last pic is my fave ;)

Hammerstine close ups

 Ok so first up is a warning when using these pop up photo tents. Do Not Open anywhere nere your models as it springs open sending your model flying and i do mean FLYING GRRRRRRRRRR. Only damage was his right arm fell of but will attempt some franken-surgery(TM) tommorow.

 Just the face to detail and some bits and bobs to touch up and i can call him finished BUT do you the blogosphere think his BFG needs to be grungier to match the rest of him?

 Bear in mind that i'm trying to emulate the artistic style of the Biz the 2000ad artist that in my opinion rendered the ABC's in there most raw and visceral incarnation. So it's gotta be grungy but not messy and i dont know if i've got that to come across in my attempt.

I'm happy over all with him as long as i get the face right and it pops when finished and on display at Brampton next Sunday. Fingers crossed :)

Hammerstine in salt.

Here's the progress pics of Hammerstine. He was primered in a few shades of grey first then naturel sea salt was very liberally stuck to his armore plates and then he was oversprayed with red. By the time id done this a lot of salt had come away so i reaplied more salt and used (i think) fire wastes orange (old citadel paint)
After this the salt was scrubbed off with a tooth brush and for reasons unknown to me i then applied sunburst yelow ink. Next up will be the the oil washes and the cabeling on his chest and arms and legs.
Before i forget i should mention i used a very old can of elnett hairspray to stick the salt on.
There are some very good how too's online about the salt weathering tech.
