Chaos Ork Tracker!

My first completed model arrived a few days ago. This model is the Chaos Ork Tracker.

He is 3inches tall and printed in the Ultra Fine Detail Acyclic material. I managed to get him built on schedule and didn't have any major problems that needed fixing for print so I got through that part pretty quickly. He has therefore arrived on track and I'm working well within my time plan.

Although he is complete in himself I am planning to model and print a Squig pet for him which will finish him off nicely, and make his pose a little more understandable (the pointing hand etc). So he does look a bit odd without his Squig at the moment.

As for the model itself I am really happy with how it turned out. Getting the arms, head and backpack extended out on sprews worked out really well. They were very easy to detach and cut off as I was hoping which means it should be much easier to paint the model when the times comes. I have already tried piecing him back together to ensure all the parts sit nicely when they will eventually be glued and they fit perfectly! I feel I may have done the feet and legs a little small however, I realise I am still having a bit of a problem with the fact the scale of the model looks different in zbrush compared to how it looks once printed. But this isn't a major problem as Orks are generally quite top heavy and their feet and legs are normally substantially smaller than the rest of their bodies. I will however try bear this in mind while progressing with my next model to ensure he doesn't look too imbalanced.

The material looks amazing, all the fine details I put into the model are there and showing up nicely. The sections of the model are also looking really good as the Ultra Fine Detail material is capable of getting much cleaner edges and definition into the model so its looking really good overall!

I have already sprayed the model with black undercoat paint as the pictures show. This is an important aspect of finishing the models as not only does it allow more of the details to show up but it prepares the model for later painting.

So here he is, my Chaos Ork Tracker! (Currently held together with copious amounts of white tack)
