Hey folks! First thing first, I apologize for the lack of updating on the blog the last months. I'm strongly involved in my new irl job and unfortunately I have only few hours to dedicate to painting and gaming per week... no comment.
Any way, I used those couples of hours to bring a new Epic dimension to my World Eaters Legion. I carried-out this crazy idea which growing in my mind since a local dude (very nice guy) adopted a 3D scanner. Indeed, we started gently with the Epic Bloodthirster model few months ago and we kept going with another huge chunk of Epic to re-scale in 28mm size. The bigger Daemon Engine of Khorne : The Lord of Battle.
From my point of view, to resize properly this model some ajustments have to apply in order to obtain an harmonious piece. The original miniature have several proportion issues. Firstly, the bottom part of the model is too small in comparison of the torso. Secondly, the shoulders are too larger for the torso. Thirdly, the Frontal Spicked Shield is really ugly and a partial redesigning is necessary. To finish, the addition of small details is mandatory to bring depth to the model : Nails, chains, cables and piles of skulls.

The model was 3D printed with PLA material with 0,2 layers. I will be honest, the sanding is mandatory to obtain smooth surfaces especialy regarding the sphericals shapes on the model. A sanding paper can be used but a dremel can be your best friend to achieved the task for a huge model. I used the XTC 3D material as cherry on top . This thick liquid resin is applied as a coating to give the final touch.
Any way to acquire the STL file for this model? Thank you!
RépondreSupprimerHello Warduke, unfortunately not the owner of the file isn't a huge fan of STL sharing. Sorry!
SupprimerHaha je me doutais que tu préparais un truc du genre. Quelle classe! D'abord chapeau pour avoir eu le courage du ponçage, sur une pièce de cette taille y'a de quoi décourager. Le rendu final est spectaculaire, je veux le voir en vrai!!!
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup ;) A dire vrai, je ne savais pas qu'il y aurait autant de ponçage :) On devrait pouvoir arranger ça un jour :)
SupprimerWow, this is so awesome! You certainly had a lot of work to do, but it paid off, this one looks fantastic!
RépondreSupprimerUn travail incroyable! :)
Thank you Suber :) The most difficulty to overcome is the newness of the process, the size, the proportions, etc... Otherwize, it remain the same as a smaller model :)
SupprimerVery cool! Great work.
RépondreSupprimerThank you Kym :)
SupprimerInsanely great work. Thanks for sharing, and loved the insight into the process!
RépondreSupprimerYou're welcome :)
SupprimerLa vache, ça c'est un sacré boulot !
RépondreSupprimerLa pièce est géniale, et d'autant plus une fois peinte par tes soins.
Merci mec c'est très sympa de ta part :)
SupprimerÉnorme Nico!!!! Combien de cm? En tout cas , tu as très bien fait de modifier les incohérences de taille, maintenant c'est Perfect!
RépondreSupprimerHâte de voir ça samedi quand nous ferons notre partie de Battle!A++++
Hello JY! 47cm de haut la bête :) Les petits ajustements me plaisent bien aussi ;) A Samedi :)
SupprimerNon mais il est énorme ! Comme d'hab un boulot impressionnant d'analyse / ajustement conclu par une réalisation impeccable.
RépondreSupprimerTrès sympa merci ;)
SupprimerHuge and fantastic, or fantastic and huge! We would say that you have spent the little free time that work allows you very well.
RépondreSupprimerLooking at the old illustrations, we did not understand if it is conceived as a machine operated by others (like a tank), or if it is some sort of creature, possessed by a daemon ... well, in this case by a really big daemon!
I think it's something between :) Have a look to the back of the Lord of Battle. You'll find a ladder and an access door for the crew :)
SupprimerI have to say that some skulls are a little ugly/dated but the whole project pleased KHORNE A LOT
RépondreSupprimerHaha agree... I still waiting on my first reward from khorne :)
SupprimerPutain sérieux ça défonce tellement tout, il va me falloir une pièce maitresse comme celle-là pour pas avoir l'air d'un nain maintenant !
RépondreSupprimerHello JB! Comment vas tu depuis tout ce temps 😀😀 Face à une belle tour de la peste ça peut le faire grave 😀😀
