More 3D?
« on: December 10, 2014, 14:24:18 »
Hey guys!
I've been more off than on the forum this year, and I wonder how I can still be called a moderator -and why I wasn't kicked out from the mod team, also- though I've noticed that you members did behave.  :love:
I have spent a lot of time 3D designing for klickies, mostly for the eras I prefer: Antique Greece vs Persia, Romans and Gauls, etc...but also some WW1 and 2 things that i won't show here.
 So, here are my latest. There's quite a lot, I may need several posts to sort them by theme. First the 3D renders, then the real life objects. Please, forgive my painting, I know it's not my best, but I' trying!!!

Let's start with my latest from the Hoplite helmets series: the bronze attic helmet.



and the real model:



The one before last:





Almost same era, the Hoplomaqus shield:





The persians. Now, they're not the Persians from Xeres' army in 300!, which is a good movie, esthetically speaking, but historically a mess. Those are inspired from real wall paintings, Osprey's and re-enactment pictures, etc... Much closer to the reality of warfare at that era.



















the real clickies:











That's it for this post! I'm separating the Gauls and Romans, because there's a lot of Gaul stuff.  :xgift:

Simply great designs you are bringing to playmo life.

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Truly impressive  8-)

I don't see anything wrong with your painting, btw. I like the colour schemes you picked out.

@Queen: Yes, Tahra, but the wig often makes the helmet too big. My Gauls are not bold, though, you'll see that afterwards.
@Walter: thanks!
@Birdie: Thanks for noticing! I'm quite proud of the colour themes, because I actually spent some time choosing one for each army/group. But you should see what a friend of mine does with the same objects...
