Kharn - Finished!

Its been a busy few weeks for me and not as much hobby time as i would have liked.

I did however managed to finish off my version of Kharn the betrayer.

Let me know what you think

WIP - Little bit more on Kharn

So its been a fairly busy couple of weeks for me in the real world..

I did however managed to sit down and spend a little more time on Kharn.

As you can see i have now bulked the chest plate out (as i really wasn't happy with it), cleaned the right leg up and added the plasma pistol arm.

Noticed that the plastic arm doesn't fit quite right and will get in the way of Helmet / Shoulder pad, Back pack so i'll be going back later to bulk that shoulder joint out a bit more and resolve the issue.

Any comments and feedback welcome.... Its fairly quiet round ere!

Continued - WIP Kharn the betrayer & Pro-Stuff putty

So I managed to get a little more time in on Kharn.

But first i want to tell you about a small sculpting discovery I made yesterday.

You're probably thinking 'what am I looking at here? Well I'll tell you....    I call it Pro-Stuff, now I'm sure I'm not the first person to have done this, I'm yet to read anything online about it, but what this is... Yup! You guessed it!  Green stuff mixed with Procreate! And let me tell you its amazing!

By mixing the two putty's together you are left with a pale green putty similar in consistency to green stuff, but without the stickiness...  however still tacky enough to stick to your model without the need for glue.  Being that the Procreate is is not very sticky at all, mixing it with Green stuff leaves you with something perfect in my opinion.   The Pro-Stuff mixture also absorbs the other great qualities of both the Green stuff and Procreate. Its easier to smooth and polish, easier to work into gaps and still maintains that excellent elastic quality of the Green stuff.  I'm also happy to tell you that it also sands, files, drills and carves well once cured.





So anyway! back to Kharn!

Originally I had planned on using MK4 legs as I had on previous conversion as i felt the size and shape fit well. however after searching my bitz box for hours I came up short. So i set about sculpting my own.  worth noting this is really my first ever attempt at sculpting such a large area or armour, and certainly first real attempt at sculpting something from scratch.





I started with a wire frame coming out from under the knee pads and blobbed some putty over them to make the rough shape of legs and foot (unfortunately i forgot to take a picture of that, but if you look closely in this picture you will see the left boot (on the right of the picture... just FYI) is still at this stage and the right boot is just being started..









One thing i learnt whilst doing this was to know when to walk away, so I return to finish the left boot once the right had cured.

I also added the arrow detail to each leg, with a few studs to accent one. I'm undecided if i will do back and add trim to the leg armour or just leave as is...

I also thought i have a go at making my own Gore child as i wanted this Kharn to have something a little
meatier! Need to work out how to add the teeth, then I'll go back for the detail.



















Right that's all for now!

The adept

Continued - WIP Kharn the betrayer

So i managed to get a little bit more time in on Kharn.

Decided i could in fact make him look more like Kharn should, as such i have removed all of the chest detail with an X-acto blade, some files and lots of patience.

I've since started to build up the detail similar to the original Kharn model.   I've added the chest cables and centre piece.  I've also fleshed out the left shoulder socket in preparation for the classic Kharn bare arm.  Right knee pad is now sporting a Skull.

Sorry for the rubbish pictures again

C&C welcomed

WIP Kharn the betrayer

So i recently finished a small World eaters champion conversion using the Exulted champion of Khorne Warhammer fantasy model.

Only when finished said conversion did i notice that it could be a Kharn conversion / counts as Kharn  (I guess the Chain Axe and Plasma pistol were enough to sell him as Kharn).

Here are a few pictures of the conversion / Paint job.

So anyway.... this got me a'thinking, being as it is rather close to Kharn...... Just how much more like Kharn can this model be?

So got myself another Khrone champion model and last night started hacking away at it. Here's initial progress.

I also decided i wanted to have a go at sculpting my own Kharn helm.  now this is my first attempt EVER at trying to sculpt a helm...  whilst i personally think its pretty good for a first attempt... its a long way off something i would actually put on a mini.  

I'm going to strip the green stuff off tonight and have another go at it.

More on this soon!
