Eldar Wraithknight progress 4



Cheers guys!
I'm pretty much done with this big boy! I pinned both arms and the chest/body/hips pieces to get the final pose and I'm pretty much happy with hot it turned out in the end. Just a couple of bits to gap-fill and I'm done!

The only thing I'm not 100% OK with are the hands: should I put the closed fist on the Suncannon arm and the open one on the shield arm?

Eldar Wraithknight progress 3


Almost there!

Today I filled and cleaned all the gaps in the legs and all the various pieces of the torso armour. What a day! ...

Also I worked on the base and pinned to feet to it after filling them with Milliput. A pin was also added to reinforce the hip joint before gluing the upper legs

Hopefully tomorrow I will complete the assembly stage. And after that I'll move to some paint scheme tests :)


UPDATE: just to show you guys the little sword that come with the kit ...


It is almost as long as the new Hemlock WraithFighter hull or a Dark Edar Ravager / Raider!

Eldar Wraithknight progress 2


Work continue on the Wraithknight: the kit is really big, many many pieces and I'm not gluing most of them for painting ease.

The torso/chest armour is amazing, a bunch of different pieces that kind of wrap around the main body!

Just a piece of advice: don't thrust the assembly instruction and test all the connection before gluing anything

Update: test the pose:


Man it's big...

Eldar Wraithguards / Wraithblades sprues - UPDATED

The new Eldar Wraithguards / Wraithblades sprues including the 3rd one currently not appearing on GW website.








UPDATE: here is a picture that show some of the differences between the 2nd and 3rd sprues. The components "type" are the same between the two but the components themselves are sculpted differently

Updated pics of Illic spures as promised :)
