Trying to get myself back into sculpting and I've found that I really enjoy 15mm scale. Here's my first sculpt of a Maschinen Krieger inspired suit. I probably won't be putting this one into production but I'd like any feedback you'd all like to offer.

Thanks!

That looks pretty damn good from were i am sitting, i would have no hesitation in buying a miniature like this, it's well proportioned with a reasonable amount of detail too.

Nice. Kinda similar to the GZG heavy vacc suits, but thats not a bad thing… I'd get it.

Gunner Dunbar28 Apr 2012 10:39 p.m. PST

Nice sculpt, but I'd prefer a fully armoured suit, rather then a visor, but as far as the sculpting goes, its top notch, would love a M.a.k inspired line, at the moment I am hanging out for Khurasans Earth Doom PA suits but they will be pretty large.

Sculpting is on good enough level.

I concur with Gunner Dunbar though, if it is armoured suit, it should have smaller visor also.

Came out really nice!

Very nice. I don't have a problem with the "visor" myself – it could just as easily be painted as a blank armored plate with the operator driving by sensors instead of using the Mk I eyeball. In fact, a blank plate would give a nice surface for personalizing the paint jobs – unit ID markings, or more eccentric "nose art" would work. Bet a you could paint a convincing smiley face or hockey mask onto one of those.

Oh man, you have GOT to make these available for purchase! Give it the option to have a version of the suit equipped with a single shoulder mounted heavy weapon, and maybe a suit or two looking like they are in "Command poses" *pointing etc* and you have yourself a brilliant little power-armour team!

That, and when I see this I can't help but picture the suit from 'Sucker Punch'

I'd buy some.

So would I.

Ivan DBA29 Apr 2012 1:31 p.m. PST

I think it looks great! If you don't mind me asking, what technique did you use to cast the extra ones?

roebeast4529 Apr 2012 1:37 p.m. PST

I have friends who own a casting business. I asked them to throw these in with some Lovecraftian models that I'm making.

Covert Walrus29 Apr 2012 2:34 p.m. PST

Those are superb! Well done! dr pepper

Maxshadow29 Apr 2012 7:50 p.m. PST

Hey nice work!

Very nice figure.

Personally I think the visor is fine, reminds me of the RAFM Citadel high tech guys with their large visors.

I do agree with Finch, gotta have some different poses like command, and various weapons, etc. Either way, you have a nice style and these look really well sculpted in terms of proportions!

Beastly One, y'all have outdone yerself! Excellent!evil grin

Add some poses and optional weapon fits and you've sold me.evil grin

Thanks for all of the positive feedback everyone! I'm reworking it a little, going for more of a Dorvack power suit style. I'll let you all know once their ready.

Next step is to buy a magnifying visor.
