Finito! ?Finally. ?Almost a week after I'd hoped. ?Flamin' procrastination. :p

Sorry for the poor quality of the pics; but my scanner is better at this kind of thing than my fancy-schmancy 3MP macro-function camera. ???

A turnaround:






In retrospect, the eye bionics and the mouth-tube make him look a little like a Gary Larson bug. :D

A shot with one of his future standmates - a quick conversion with a DRM industrial trooper and a spare heavy bolter from the SM landspeeder blister:

Holy cow, how do you sculpt figures that tiny?  Lots of patience, and time between parts?

That looks great so far!

You should be proud!

Absolutely incredible!  Widh I could sculpt like that.  What an outstanding pieve of work - love the Heavy Bolter conversion, too! :cool:

Nice one, Vermis! :D

Thanks again, everyone! :) ?The next stage is sticking him on a scenic base with the rest of the unit, and that should be much easier.

The concept sketch from the temporary forums, in case one or two missed it:



EDIT: hmm. ?After looking at that again, should I give him a book?

Tv1013: that, plus a certain level of obsession (e.g. I'm fighting the temptation to thicken the end of that cable, where it joins to the staff...), and sacrificing your eyesight. :D
I actually found this easier to do than my few aborted 28mm sculpts. ?Maybe because the shapes and details don't have to be as precise. ?And I'm used to working small - most of my drawings are little thumbnails and doodles.

Or maybe add the book on the left hip, below the tank and to the left slightly.

Just an idea.

In any case, he looks great!

Fantastic.  You should talk to Eureka about sculpting their upcoming range * of 6mm made to order figures......seriously.


* No, AFAIK Eureka don't currently plan this.  However, their one caveat b efore was they didn't have anyone to sculpt in 6mm....and so if Vermis is sculpting for them....

Dobbsy: I think Bob Naismith already did. :;):

Zap: interesting... but the thought of a 'boss' ordering me to churn out several minis to a deadline fills me with terror.

Gimme a while to practise, at least. :p
