The Making of a Tech-Marine - gaalsien | |
The RobesYou can use this technique for cloaks as well.Step 1: Cowl and face plate I used some greenstuff to make the face plate seen on the tech adept. For the cowl I rolled out some milliput to a thin sheet, then I cutout a pattern and placed it over the head. Don’t worry if it sticks out too much, as it can be sanded down once it dries. The most important thing is to get the shape.  Step 2: Robe Like the cowl, I rolled out a larger piece milliput using a roller and some talcum powder to make sure the milliputt did not stick to anything.  I cut out a pattern and placed it on the Terminator. Once again, don’t worry about excess milliputt, just get the shape that you want. I usually let the milliput dry a little so it reatains the shape of the robe a little better.  Leave it to dry over night. Step 3: Making the folds Since the top part of the robe is directly on the torso, the easiest way to make the folds here is by just taking a round file and fileing out the fold. For the bottom half of the robe you wan to trim off the excess and sand it.   To make the folds on the bottom robe you waan to take a small piece (use only enough to make one roll as the milliput dries very fast and if it becomes to hard you cant use it to make a fold) of milliput and roll it out to make a sausage. How thik the roll is depends on how big you want the fold to be. In placing your folds you want to follow the direction of how the robe is flowing.  Taking a sculpting tool, starting blending in the roll with the cloak. Using a little water helps with the blending.  Keep on repeating process until you have added enough folds on your robe.   Step 4: filling in the gaps. Most people stop with the rolls, but I like to go ahead and use some milliput to fill in between each fold. This helps them blend together, so that it actually like fold in cloth   You want this to then dry over night and the use the extra fine sand paper to sand the robe smooth.
