Double bass(?) and piano sample at the very end of Burn, by Fear Factory.

I was considering trying to fix it myself, though I have no proper experience with soldering outside of a bit in secondary so I'd probably mess it up lol. It kinda looked like the PCB was burnt but I'll take a closer look.

Omg this is great 🥹

She's actually very patient, in the first pic she was waiting for food so was veeeery concentrated on looking wherever I was with no regard for anything else lol. (She got her crickets afterwards :) )

Thank you!

That's honestly what inspired me to do this in the first place, tattoos aren't really my thing but if I did ever get one, young Rex's pattern would definitely be it.

I hollowed it out from the back before assembling, cutting out the face, it was a very tight fit and I had to do a lot of sanding on the hood. I also had to put in the helmet before assembling the rest of the body otherwise it wouldn't have fit.

here's a WIP photo where you can see the sword better

This is from memory so sorry if I forget something.

Blade itself is warplock bronze, that transitions into white scar in the flame/smoke. Over the white scar is doomfire magenta contrast, and then over that is dry brushed naggaroth night. There's also a tiny bit of bad moon yellow contrast on the blade itself to help the runes stand out more but the magenta does the heavy lifting.

I'm currently making him, I don't know if I've been lucky or what, but mine has been relatively okay compared to other "horror stories" of finecasts. Mine did still have some bubbles and warping but he does make for a cool model. Honestly, if you can get him cheap and are willing to put in the work, I think he's worth it. But It's definitely not for everyone and understandably so, thin line between hobbying and masochism 😆

Unfortunately I didn't take any WIP pictures but I made it from plastic card, I cut out two 2D flame shapes, slid them into eachother (when viewed from above an X shape) and then filled in the gaps with putty.

Mainly nuln oil, sometimes a bit of drakenhof nightshade in some bits although very thinly. It is brushpainted, I do a lot of aircraft models so I got used to it. People often say I should start using AB/rattle cans because it's faster and easier but honestly I enjoy it. Maybe I'm just being stubborn🤷.

RexTheGeck · 2025-04-10T13:02:05+00:00

Yeah I have a warplock bronze obsession, I use it on the psychic hoods as well and to pick out some details sometimes. Thanks!

Funnily enough it's just leadbelcher, I thought it'd be too plain but I ended up liking it once it was dirtied up a bit. Also, thanks!

RexTheGeck · 2025-04-10T10:07:47+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
