93. Manufactorum. Imperial Knight part 2.

Honestly I have been busy with hobby stuff and not just slacking off.
The Imperial Knight has been a lot more effort than I thought!

Due to adjusting the positioning of the legs I've had to do some pretty substantial sculpting work on the legs.

The first on to get the sculpting treatment was the standing leg;

It is the right shape and stuff, but I'm not quite sure I managed to get it smooth all over... hard to tell until it gets some paint on it...


As well as scultping legs, I've been trying to magnatise the whole thing... or as much of it as possible.

Where magnets wont do the job, pins will.

I worked a bit more on the base too

And this is the leg that is standing on said rhino

It took a good deal of time to get all of the sculpting bits done.
I'm not the best at it so I put extra effort in to make the shapes as natural as possible.

Probably could have done a better job, but with the shin guard on any mistakes/ irregularities shouldn't be too noticeable (I hope).

Anyway, after finishing all the bits it was time to stick together what I could.

And a shot of it all together (well most of it).

I've left as much of it as detachable as possible for when I paint it.

Got a bunch of sprays to do the base coats with, not sure on the colour scheme though.

Suggestions?

Any thoughts, comments and such welcome as always.

Peace!
