okay so here are the parts i will use of the sprue!

1. 2. 3.

1. so i only have to get the right hand and the Helmet for him! and when i got those ... i will be G.Stuffing like hell ...
2. okay now he is assembled with all the parts i am going to use from the SM-Commander Sprue (except for the right shoulderpad, which has to wait until i get the right arm!
3. okay added the first parts on him which are not from the sprue! 1. a rod (maybe you can guess from where it is (first one to find out gets a cookie) 2. an Raven 'icon' its from a Breton Knight of the realm Sprue off a helmet!

(sortoff greenstuff )
So here is my other project, a Venus Fly trap, propably you cant see the little green sprout in the circle, but it is there, you can even see the splitted leaf which will be the deadly end of the plant later! (wow a rhime ... wasnt planned).

maybe i should add pictures of my attempt of Christmas Bakery last weekend. "Lebkuchen Houses"

well ... i gotta do some work here ...

that looks like a box of Virginian finest tobacco lol , liking the new scheme immensly Che , different but totally workable as a scheme

LOL! ... well but it still is a Venus Flytrap ... or more was ... i am afraid she died ...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!

im doing my best on my reanimation skills, and if that doesnt work, NECROMANCY !!!

maybe i need to get new seed to start that again, one day i will feed the plant with rats!!!! (or real live Catachans!)

Ask Minamoto , Nurgle are pretty good at reanimation

hm yeah ... but in that case the plant will beginn to smell like it is rotting i guess

just a short update to show what i am working on atm, the picture above gives you an idea of how it will look like.

1. i won't tell what i am going to make (2 people could know it as i told them)
2. first one to tell me whats that on the picture gets a cookie, the ones after get a free Poke!


this are the parts i am thinking about to use for it (not all and not all in one piece)

and naturely i am looking forward to ideas what i "might" be using that as draft for



this picture has not been taken inside the warp, its the place i call my "work bench"

-che

edit (2 more pictures + description)

Is it from a Kroot rifle?

hah i nearly forgot about that one!



here is your cookie

edit: wrong link!

edit2:
i just noticed i didn't add pictures of my shadowsun yet so here are some (now you can see why my XV8s got painted in silver for the pictures)

Woo!

They have arrived!



the lower "stick" are 100 Magnets i ordered a few days ago! now i can start magnetizing!!

i thought they where bigger

okay lets forget about the magnets for now back to my work!


this is the draft for my newest project, my modelling attempts are following now:

Step 1 the legs, i flipped the feet of a Catachan and a Tau FW:


Step 2 the Body i added the Torso of a Catachan, it should look like a really tight suit


Step 3 the Head('s) i magnetized the head of my Tau and my SM Captian



the magnets on the heads i actually wanted to use sort of flipped around while gluing :/ those heads wont stick


now i have to think what to do with his arms, if i give him a gun or equipment, and if, which.

i will try to magnetize his head so he can change between helmet and no helmet (now i have to modell a helmet like on that screenshot up there!)

For that type of Helmet , IG Helmet , remove Imperial Eagle, sand smooth as possible , then GS the front , and use a "wetted" retractable pencil nib (minus the Graphite ) to poke the GS with 3 hole,s ( if you refer to my Gue Vesa in my WIP , the right hand "eye" was done like this ) in the formation you desire . Just a variant of "Sabres" teachings .

hm didnt think about that ... i'll keep that in mind thanks Brokensword!

but first i will try something else!

EDIT: ADDED PICTURES BELOW!



so now i am done with the magnets and the plastic on him so now i will greenstuff a bit and then i will be painting him.



an Earthcast War engeneer (surely not fearless) with Kor'vesa


this is my latest Gue'vesa, inspired by Ursakar E. Creed (i tried to pose him a bit like U.E.C.)

btw fear the Xeno, because the Xeno is everywhere:

and yes i love magnets

okay, so i noticed that my 'looks like' XV15 still needs a jetpack ... so i decided to change my XV 25's to XV15's and only leave the teamleader a XV25 (like in Dark Crusade). and voila here is my second XV15 and i am quite proud of it! (the other one got his jetpack too!



so here is the next one (still no jetpack) (if anyone got spare XV25s just gimme a call )



and here is the whole bunch (just not the leader as you all propably have seen an XV25 before)



C&C welcome!

your conversion work is certainly looking truly awesome I really love the Tau in marine armour , which i still feel is an avenue that the Tau could explore more . Top Marks Che , keep up the good work !

Thanks, i am planning to re-do some of my models, (Scouts and Gue'vesa for now).

and i really have to get back to painting ^^

and one day i will try the poses of my XV15s on XV8

okay, just to proof that i am still working on my Cadre (and not just on my Gang).

okay while working on my Necromunda Gang (which you can find in the Moddeling section) i had the idea for an XV22 Commander (count as Shadowsun) He will represent my "Shas'o Coldshadowmoon", with sparks of creativity lighting up my brain i started to loot my Bitzbox and here it he is:



so for explenation:

i used spare XV25 Parts for the 'small Battlesuit' look, as i wanted him to look a bit more 'massive' i used a SM-Torso and scraped off the Skull on it, i will have ad a Tau sign on it, but thats in progress, added a Firewarrior helmet and 'voila' an scratchbuilt XV22 ... but wait ... NOOO ... i had no fusionblasters, nor did i have parts to build some.

simple conclusion: magnetize the arms and use Assaultrifles as placeholders.

now i can equip him with whatever i want ... well the Flameshield or Blizzardshield (showed earlier in this thread look to massive though)

C&C welcome
