Update - plaster work

Diorama is going well.

I havent had a whoole lot of time to work on it because I've been doing a commission work for a friend which is taking up some time. I'll post it when I'm done.

Anyway, here are the diorama progress shots.

  1. I'm always fascinated by this type of work. To me, I have no idea what the end product is going to look like at this stage. It's like peering into someone elses mind and trying to put the pieces together :).

    1. It's all in my head at this point. I'm hoping it translates well to the finished piece.
      The picture in my head is sort of like a heroic scene like on the old codex covers - a hill, a bunch of imperials and hordes of some enemy of humanity. There will be banners, broken heretics and plenty of bravado headed of course by my home boy Sigismund.
      In the future, I'll be making another with blood angels and orks - featuring the Sanguinor. And a little further down the track, a Night Lords one with Sevatar (fav character in horus heresy series). I'd even thought of doing an Alpha Legion diorama with an effrit stealth squad with sniper rifles.
      So many ideas, so little time...

    2. Honestly if it features sigismund, it should just be a pile of dead bodies with him at top looking slightly tired. :) Will keep an eye on this, as I'm excited to see how this turns out!

    3. He surely is a beast! I'll probably only do weekly progress on it, because the painting comp isnt for another 2 months yet and there are other entries I'd like to get ready too.
