Commission - Praetorian Officers & Sergeants (Part 3)

With a little more work I've finished the four Praetorian 'Character' models, top left has gained a Laspistol and a outstretched pointing arm, top right has had his cloak finished and gained a Laspistol in his exposed hand. Bottom left meanwhile has had a little tidying done and the bottom right has recieved a little more detailing including a small aquilla on the Power Fist.

Job's a good un!

Commission - Praetorian Officers & Sergeants (Part 2)

I've made a fiar bit of progress on the current batch of Praetorian 'Characters' I've been working on for a commission (I really must get round to working on some of my own models sometime soon!)

The first model is very nearly finished, with just a little tweaking and tidying of his holster to go, there really was very little to do with this one, simply combining parts from two models.



The second conversion while probably the most challenging is also infact realitively simple, taking a standard bearer which was incomplete I've added a cloak over his back and across one side, this is almost but not quite finished, the bottom needs finishing and again there is some tidying to do, it's then a simple matter of picking out a suitable weapon for his remaining free arm.

Sorry for the blury picture!



Next up is something I've not tried before, sculpting a power fist, this is simply an arm swap of one of the basic Sergeant models, there is a little bit more work to go on the fist and I also want to tweak the braiding before I call it a day with this one.



The final one is the only one which I've changed slightly from my original plan, switching what were going to be magnoculars for a Laspistol from the bits box in a eureka type moment! I'm really pleased with the look of this model, just need to sculpt his pointing arm and tidy him now.

The Brief -

To convert some different Praetorian Officer and Sergeant models.

The Commission -

I've been asked to create a sample of alternative Praetorian Officers and Sergeants for a customer, with further work possible. This is to be a small batch, I've elected to do four seperate models - the customer may or may not want all of them, but I don't see this as a problem - I can always use them myself afterall!

I've selected a number of models/bits from my box of spares, one is starting to take shape already, the other three are roughly cut and ready to work upon. I've got a very clear idea of what I'm aiming for with each already which I'm pleased about as it's always nice to have an aim, so without further text, here are the victims of my snips thus far, sculpting will start shortly!

The first is already starting to take form.





And the other three, before...



and currently.
