Weathered Rhino

I didn't want to sound like "don't do it" or something like this. All I wanted was making sure he's aware of the risk and willing to take it.
And I can't tell if it's a big risk or not. Just wanted to give a friendly warning, as I would hate to see someone put much work into something only to get disqualified...

that's how I understood your post

I just wanted to add my own opinion, for damnedfist's consideration

now, back to the drawing - why don't we call this guy the undead inquisitor, not a cowboy? there are some inq models looking like cowboys in fact - long trenches, hats, weapons...

EDIT: I'd perhaps just replace scarf on his neck with something more 40k-ish. Inquisitor's =I= sign on a chain maybe?

Absolutely. He is now a 'undead inquisitor'.

A couple of people have suggested adding a little more to make him fit the 40k universe. The inquisitor's =I= was mentioned a couple of times and I thought of placing a 'fist' icon on the hat. What I might try is redoing the sketch to get more input.

I understood what you were saying..., and I appreciate your candor. However, I really don't want to put all those hours into this project just to have it snubbed because the judges didn't think it was 40Kish enough. Again, that's why I ask your opinions. I'm still new to this and your experience is quite valuable to me. I would prefer to learn from 'others' mistakes rather than my own

Better.

better indeed

now, give him a leather coat

oh, flames right next to the pistol look like a blade attached to it. You might want to re-draw that part.

I like this concept a lot - you could add inquisitor (wearing hat of course) to the model which would be good "explanation" for hat theme

he could be placed in open hatch

Good eye, but they are just there for the layout. I will be painting the flames in "TrueFire" style.

Quite possible. I also think that it still need something else. Especially in the torso area.

for me it's fine. I'm afraid you might over-do your freehand adding further elements to it.

Question for you all...,

I'm looking for a good recipe for creating mud to use on the tracks. I know that there are a few products from Tamia for creating this effect but I have heard of people using baking soda and such as well with convincing results. Any direction?
