There was something different about the base. Just couldn't place it. Now it makes sense. I like the idea of the sword coming out of swing. Will have to look into that.<br /><br />They are damn fun models, Evan. Feel free to live as vicariously as you want. I hope some of it's entertaining. hahaa Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-66661170298841985382013-06-25T15:21:11.172-05:002013-06-25T15:21:11.172-05:00Yeah, I think the arms will help balance it out an...Yeah, I think the arms will help balance it out and give purpose to the motion it has. Both of your builds are sorely tempting me to pick one up myself, but really don't have the hobby dollars at the moment. For now, I'll just live vicariously through your process, JJ.FTGT Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397166544593235463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-55184792417289236242013-06-25T14:35:27.398-05:002013-06-25T14:35:27.398-05:00Thanks guys!

I went with more of a leaned-forward running pose, essentially the only difference between how we did the build is how the torso is canted - I more or less carried the line of the straight leg up through the torso so it ended up leaning forward quite a bit, almost 30 degrees forward whereas your torso looks to be perpendicular to the ground - I ended up having to pose it lengthwise on the oval base due to the very leaning pose, it would have tipped over otherwise! :)<br /><br />The opportunity to have it sort of 'whirling' with the sword and shield could really look awesome, I would suggest canting the sword/sword arm around such that it's parallel with the ground, as though it's just finished a swipe perhaps...<br /><br />Definitely looking forward to seeing it come together, it's already looking awesome!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-51413630826296619912013-06-25T11:30:11.839-05:002013-06-25T11:30:11.839-05:00Complete agree, Evan, Mordian7th's was excell...Complete agree, Evan, Mordian7th's was excellent. I see exactly what you mean regarding the torso leaning back. Think missing the sword is causing it to look a little out of place.a Sent Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985913087960289002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-64569447165393796692013-06-25T11:14:56.703-05:002013-06-25T11:14:56.703-05:00I love Moridian7th's so I'm looking forwar...I love Moridian7th's so I'm looking forward to this. The torso looks a little too leaned back, but that could just be the way the shoulders without arms are throwing off the balance. Great work as always, and will be checking in regularly.FTGT Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16397166544593235463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833680813290901707.post-75544305164140786782013-06-25T10:52:09.623-05:002013-06-25T10:52:09.623-05:00Thanks, mate.

Definitely looking forward to seeing more - are you going to paint this one up similar to the earlier one, or will this get a different scheme?Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.com
