It’s so good it doesn’t even look real.

I scratchbuilt this Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Blood Angel Tactical Sergeant, 7th company, 9th squad, costume as a fan. Improved version.

About 400 hours in making, spread over 10 months. The current weight is 25 kg.
Hight: About 215 cm/7′ (I am about 183 cm/6′ without armor). (To be able to move around easier and be able to use my own hands, the size is a compromize between proper SM size and a normal human.)
Method: Pepakura (foam+hot glue) and some modifications to make it look more like the miniatures. And some aluminum rods, and screws and electronics.
Cost of materials: At the present about 2500€.
Eyes built from modified Glospex:http://www.goglospex.com/standard/
Motion sounds comes from a Mega Stopm Panik from:http://www.thinkgeek.com
Getting dressed takes about 15 minutes, and requires a servitor.
No comissions.

Wow. Just wow. Great job. Spotted over at BOLS.

I normally don’t like to plug for other online shops, BTP has a great selection of painted miniatures at the shop, but I just couldn’t pass it up. I am sorry, I want to see Infinity grow and Spikey Bits is having a deal worth noticing.

Now that it’s funded, it’s time to get in on all the goodies. I really like this Kickstarter, and I also want to go out on a limb and say I have been pleasantly shocked over the last year/ two at how much miniature stuff has evolved because of Kickstarter. I didn’t see that coming and it’s great to see the community rise to the occasion.

More on their Kickstarter.

There aren’t many Youtubers out there that produce better tutorial painting videos than BuyPainted. He may have a funny accent but he is damn good at what he does. I would love to see him paint some other things besides 40k, maybe even see if he plays at all, but overall I enjoy his style.
