Dr H in Elk: "More views of the Quake Fiend scale model.Pain..."

Quake Fiend.

Scale model based on the Fiend from the original Quake game. Screenshot included.

Made from plasticard and carved blocks of glued-together sprue.

More angles of this angular Quake Fiend.

This model also got a printed 2D floor texture for a base.

More views of the Quake Fiend scale model.

Painting was interesting. I used splotches of paint to recreate the in-game texture.
And then clear red gloss paint for the blood splatter.

Exactly how I remember it from the original game, didn’t even need to read the description. Great work!

Thank you. Making something recognisable as the original is very hard. Nice to hear this works.

I think what makes it work are the rectangular surfaces and the color scheme. Both are very recognizable.

Tell me, did you make the color splashes with random brush strokes or by chipping? How about the red (blood) hue, some paintbrush or is it too tiny for that?

I used an old brush, or two, I had that some of the bristles had fallen out leaving irregular lengths and angles.
