I thought I will not be approved in creating this forum. hehehe.. Thanks so much for letting me share my inputs.



here it goes......

 

SC2: Annihilation was inspired in MaximumPCs the hulk. So I wanted to create the same
inspiration by building the same concept but using a different type of materials.

First is the twisted wires to hold the clay



putting some clay


Fat terran marine, without any details ( side view) ...heheh


again.... the fat Terran Marine version ( front view)


Removing the arms (front)

Carved a more detailed look of the terran marine stepping on the Zerg Alien


Putting more emphasis on the details of terran marine on the upper part

the whole terran marine


heating it up to get the actual shape, and carve it again.....


I think i got the right curve that i wanted. also putting more details on the hose


I think thats enough.... heres another detailed view of terran marine from the side


Putting more emphasis and details on the Airvents suit


a clear view shot from the top back view of the airvents


The poor Alien Zerg being stepped on


Finally, the finished terran marine clay product


and now the box
after making the dimensions, heres the crate box of the terran marine. Still need to do some cutting and replacing the sides with Wire Mesh and Mini Fans



and now the most important part..... Volcanic Debris ( LAHAR )
Some of the pinatubo volcanic debris can be seen at the bottom of this bridge in Pampanga.


The actual Volcanic ash / sand that we will be using for this project


Getting large amount of Lahar


While playing around. I decided to put side by side the actual StarCraft 2 Orginal Game.


Actual picture of Terran Marine from the Game itself.... but, hmmm.... NO Terran Marine GUN?


Hoping to get the details of the Terran marine gun. Another eye candy ^_^




and now the fun part......

well start by pouring the RTV rubber molding on top of the Zerg Clay



after pouring the RTV rubber molding


putting up a casted chalk around the RTV molding


after a couple of hours, by taking out the clay,this is what it looks like


removing all excess rubber molding


Preparing the Secret Ingredients


mixing it up with talc


Mixing up with the Most important ingredient of all..... Volcanic Ash / Sand


getting ready to mix it with fibers



pouring inside the rubber mold


mixing it up with fibers


this looks more like a dead rat than zerg



After waiting for a few Minutes.....


removing the final resin cast from the rubber mold


efore and after. The Resin and the Clay


Zerg now ready for Airbrush Painting.....

Superb sculpture.

 

omg <3 sc2
cant wait to see this come together
great craftsmanship awesome attention to detail
will be watching =)

 

Great work Ayokis!!!

 

This is cool! I do hope the marine's getting cast in resin too. Why do you add ash to the resin mix? To bulk it out?

 

Absolutely superb crafts work so far, the project looks very promising. An amazing show of skill!
I'd love to be able to work clay like that.

Looking forward to seeing the final product very much.

 

@one1ros... thanks sir

@jcpewpew...its already done sir, im just waiting for my post to get approved by
bit-tech forum moderators sir.

@stonieX.... Thanks sir

@puresilver. I can do the cast in pur resin, talk and fibers but since this is an
entry for the CM. I wanted to try different materials that hasnt been done in REsin
molding and in PC castings....by Using Volcanic Debris. Also to make the Terran marine
more harder.

@suenstar. yes you can sir, its just pure imagination and a little bit of skills.
