I was digging through my bits box for my on-hold space hulk parts, and came across my Shas'O I'd been working on and kinda left on the back burner long enough to forget about. This was my second casting project and I decided to give it some minor touch up work tonight, some of the ATT guys may remember this from almost a year ago.
The arms will need to be redone, I had some issues with bubbling from resin not flowing into the arm mold properly which hopefully the new vacuuum pump will get rid of. Once I have a proper resin arm to modify I'll probably rebuild the greater portion of it with space marine or terminator parts to give it larger hands and an arm structure that matches the dawn of war model a bit closer. The arms will be magnetized so it can accept the array of weapons that commander battle suits can carry.
Over the shoudler Missle pods will be an option, although it looks like they may have to be scratch built as the standard Tau missle pod is much too large to use on the shas'o suit.
I'd like this to match the game model pretty closely so any advice or crtique is most welcome
Here's a photoshopped pic of what it'll look like once the second shoulder pad is added:
The rest of the pics are the work as currently finished:
Here's a bunch of reference pics from the game, there's a few minor variations between the two suits, some shots have additional jump pack vents and most obviously the missle pods:
