For me, it's the fact sculpting requires a lot more patience and time that scares me from getting further than mere conversion and gap filling but in due time, I'll probably dive in and have a go with something forgiving.Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221418482531324115.post-41749382048212885302015-07-21T03:40:39.576+02:002015-07-21T03:40:39.576+02:00Thank you for this informative post.

Maybe I'm too afraid that my sculpts would all end up looking like Gumbo, the cartoon character.

Hair and all also come easily as things you can improve and you quickly realise you're overdoing things.<br />I think the most important thing is that you have to take your time to do things right which is exactly why paiting will always remain my main focus as I do not have the patience to sculpt whole parts. Thanks for the kind words anyway ;)<br /><br />You're right indeed about the Inquisitor models, I've only shown a couple of unpainted examples some time ago and I would really like to work again on that scale in the future, the scale is also a little more forgiving sculpting wise so that may be a good way to work a bit on that. I was really into it when it was released but switched pretty rapidly to 28mm before letting all this aside.<br /><br />So much projects still, I need a couple more lives !Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221418482531324115.post-34287983751503642522015-07-07T07:54:56.738+02:002015-07-07T07:54:56.738+02:00As far as the sculpting with GS goes, I find that ...As far as the sculpting with GS goes, I find that I'm not that inclined to try and get better at it. Filling gaps & a bit of minor reshaping is about as much as I want to try. I feel like I've got my hands full trying to practice my painting & kitbashing skills. It's a bit too far out of my ability range I think. I can't even draw, let alone sculpt (my 9 year old can draw better than me!!!), which is why I choose to play with 3-D toys....the hard work has already been done for me :)<br /><br />I'm impressed with the talent that some people possess with it. You're obviously on the right track with the sculpting gig there JB, the conversions I've seen you complete are testament enough to your skills. I'll remain happy enough sitting on the sidelines, seeing what creation's you & others sculpt & convert.<br /><br />Enough of me & my issues ;/<br /><br />That Squat based on the 40k Ogryn looks great JB! When did you do him? I don't remember seeing him before, am I correct in thinking this is his first appearance in front of the camera?<br /><br /><br />Cheers JB.Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.com
