The next one has been finished. In my opinion, the proportions are much more Squat like than the first one but the bolter looks a bit big for him... please feel free to comment : And I was asked to put together a guide to make them... it is on my blog if you are interested: insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/a-short-how-to-space-dwarfs.htmlThe next one will be a bit more involved because I'll have to sort out bent legs rather than straight ones... so a little more chopping and sculpting will be involved .

Hmmm, looking at it you have a point about the bolter now I see it. Perhaps a carbine version of a lasgun instead? Or maybe a Bolt Carbine? That could be interesting!

What's not to like about a huge gun?

From experience - having to carry the damn thing on a route march?

And that's what slings are for

Liking the weapon much more on the last one. Sings Squat much more to me that the bolter.

The fourth Squat has now been sculpted: The third one has been base-coated and washed ready for highlights and basing .

Great job on all the faces, thought the grolly region looked a bit suspect on the first one and the second one cheated by hiding behind a bolter, the third isn't quite so hidden behind the lasgun and what can be seen looks about right but the fourth one you've definitely nailed the join on the tops of his legs.

Cheers The first one was a trial and I knew there were areas to change (arms too long, torso too long, legs too short and head too small)... since then I have been trying to improve as I have been going along. The grolly region is difficlt to get right because it is finished before the belt goes on and it can change the whole look of things. It is a gradual process though . The further along I go, the more likely I am to convert the whole box too...

Another distraction... and funnily enough, another desecrated classic (in this case, a Warzone Vulkan battlesuit): The one on the left is a dreadnought for my Dwarfs and the one on the right is a Dwarf with Tau kit... just for the hell of it

Looking good Inso, loving the squats (would`t mind a 5 squat squad).
Keep up with the good work, and the "Dread" think it`ll grow on me. Part of me like`s it and the other part can`t make up it`s mind.
Doom....
