[multicam]

Looks awesome Scott! I'm with wouts on this, looking forward to the scout figure and his camo:)

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Work continues on the speeder bike. Last night I added more dust, grime, rust, scratches etc... just having fun and really beating this thing up.
Here are some pics.

Last night work started on the Scout.




Going for somthing like this but with a slightly faster / in pursuit feel...and banking left.


This is a MAJOR challenge...here's to trying!

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks guys. Gotta say, this isn't exactly a place of confidence, but one step at a time right?

Here's tonight progress. Super Sculpy to start to flesh this out a bit and I've decided to go with the kit boots.

[TRM]

Wow Scott!!! Missed the last update which was incredible!!! Now the work on the fig.....another, yeah, WOW! Taking this one to another lever Sir!! Keep it going!!

[spud]

yea this is going to be epic

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks friends! I appreciate the encouragement butt I can't seem to stop LOLing as I get ready to post these pics. LOL.

OK, so I watched several sculpting videos on whoTube? and noted that the guys that rock it always work from anatomy. Bones, muscles, skin, clothes etc... So I printed out a couple human muscle reference pics and tried to add some muscle groups.

Here are some pics.



Ok, so now that you've had a good chuckle here he is on the bike with some kit armor thrown on to help you visualize...lol. He's not really seated...kinda standing...not awesome but too late to turn the other cheek now.

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks Dicky. Lots left to do.

Last night I started working on adding a tread to the boots. Not finished but one more session and they should be done.

[bullardino]

Wow, I missed the updates. Great sculpting so far

[dupes]

A) The bike looks AWESOME. Forgive me for "borrowing" some pics for future reference!

B) Sculpting your own figs? Ridiculous, ballsy...and looking amazing. Wow.

[dupes]

I'm just starting to recognize people's names here on the forum...didn't realize you were the AT-AT guy too (not to mention the technical dio)! Keep up the sweet Star Wars builds, my friend!

[robbo]

Top building Scott, love this one

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks guys.

Tonight. Got the treads on the boots and tried pants. Aves pants. Hopefully the kneepads and other armor, belt will hide some of this...

[spud]

pants look goof to me Scott

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks Spud!

Cumberbun.

[Scott Girvan]

Shirt.

[TRM]

Great Scott!!! Thanks for showing the process on this!! Fun to see this fig come together!!!

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks Todd.

OK, time to wrap this up...well get back towards wrapping it up.

My sculpt ended up being too large, and too heavy so I've scrapped it. Learned alot though.

I'm going with the kit figure now, but saved the boots.


I added detail to the backpack:


And reworked the helmet a bit (kit stock on left, mine on right)



Made a blaster:



As for the bedroll. This is a white Tshirt stained in tea, then coffee. I need to find a really sharp pair of scissors to trim the edge.

What do you think of the texture scale? I'm not sold entirely.



Thanks for reading!

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks Dicky. The blaster doesn't have a trigger actually. It's only held by 2 fingers and is just a squeeze sensor.

[`Boots`]

Thats a big shame Scott, i thought ya was doing a grand `ol job on that rider................the replacement still hits the spot tho mate and the linen roll is top notch ;D

[multicam]

Great work, Scott. Nice build, scratch work, sculpting, ...jeez man! You're all over the place. Love it!

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks alot guys.

Got the scout ready for paint. I'm at the point where I simply want to get this finished.

[tiking]

Pure work of art. I'm jealous that I cannot even come with a 1000ft of your experience. I just love that bike. I am about to try the AT-AT. So we'll see how far I get. Great job again.

[TRM]

Agreed Scott!! That is some really nice figure work there my friend!!! Can't wait to see it all come together !! ;D

[spud]

Scott i think you have come on leaps and Bounds in the last 12 months and this is the pinical of it. Cant wait to see him all painted

[Scott Girvan]

Wow, thanks guys. You're much too kind.

Keep in mind I didn't scuplt all of this from scratch, torso and upper legs are kit, and helmet is modified kit.

Appreciate it though. More pics later tonight.

Hi Scott, great work on the figure, moding stock figures is hard to get right but I think you've nailed it
Keep the updates coming

Steve

[Scott Girvan]

Thanks guys. Really appreciate that.

Got the decals and basecoat on. Almost done. Weathering and a simple base and that's that.

[TRM]

Exceptional Scott!!! Nuff said!!

[johnt]

Awesome! Hi Scott, your scuplting skills are superb, and the speeder rocks!
