Creating Pre-Heresy marines – part 2c: Mark I Power Armour
“How long should you try? Until.” - Jim Rohn
This is the third and final modeling part of the Mark I armour tutorial and quite a hefty article too, but I wanted to bring it to conclusion.
To recap where we left off, our Mark I power armour requires arms, shoulder pads, a backpack and some final details.
Creating Pre-Heresy marines – part 2b: Mark I Power Armour – Chainmail
Mark I armour is quite an undertaking. I applaud anyone who takes on the challenge of building them, whether they use my method or not. Without pursuing means of batch producing these marines, you're going to need the patience of a saint to amass a sizeable force!
Optimism aside, I present you the second installment of the Mark I tutorial. Here I show you how I've never sculpted chain mail before! The shoulders and fine detail will have to wait for a third installment as they layered pads have proven to be a slow process.
Creating Pre-Heresy marines – part 2
As part 1 was well received, I am quite hyped about producing more tutorials and extending the existing guide. A few questions have been asked in response to part 1 which I shall first address:
I do intend to paint the model created in part 1. I don't intend to produce a guide for painting the model, but showing the finished item is a great way to round off the article.
