I'm in your hivefleet, killing your drones

I thought i'd brush up on my modeling and do a Spacemarine Scout.

Concept and model:

[ChromeAngel]

Hey Zenarion, nice start on the scout there.  I especially like the hands.

[zenarion]

Concept for the face. Anyone want to make it, or should i just go ahead?

[Typheron]

Go ahead, it lokos good

[zenarion]

Small update. Head is sketched in now. To do modelingwise:
Define the ceramite carapace armor, worn by scouts, since he looks like wearing a 1980-ies skisuit now. Also feet, hands, face, hair, and accesories need to be done. Paintovers are welcome.

[zenarion]

Suggested detail paintover. Inspired by pseudo-realistic military equipment, and referenced from the miniatures. Everyone is welcome to make their own paintover if any cool ideas are still hiding somewhere in the community:

That looks pretty awesome to me. Only suggestion is perhaps to have full length greaves for the lower legs rather than just the Knee Pads (they look abit 'skateboardish' !) I seem to remember some of my old models had those and I think they'd go well.

[Typheron]

all i would suggest is bigger boots in keeping with the minature

[zenarion]

Must say, I dislike the proportions of the miniatures. They are far from realistic proportions, and are actually going in the wrong directions from what I want to create here.
Spacemarines grow far larger than normal humans, or at least their bodies do. This means that they will have smaller heads, smaller feet and hands, but longer limbs and more muscular bodies. Although this "superhero" proportion appeals to me a lot, the Marines already in Exterminatus adhere more to the proportions of the miniatures: fists as big as the head and chest.
Bottom line: alright, i can make him as Typheron suggests.

In the end Zen, i would advise you do what you want to do with it, im a big fan of the scout minis myself, but if your not then dont listen to me.
