StratoKhan Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 These are great. I'd love to have of squad of marines with such detailed bionics. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Beork Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well, my motto is; "you buy 'em I make 'em" ;) Although prices would be about the equivalant of a hart and a lung for 6 of these.... But hell, you have two lungs anyway right ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajo79 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Awesome bionics! Those conversions looks realy realy good. What have you used? I spot some twisted copper wires and is it guitar strings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayfarer Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Really cool stuff. Keep up the good work. I know what it's like when every single marine in your army needs a lot of converting. All the work is worth it though, you'll have such a unique force. Also I have to say that your skill with making bionics and such is very very good.

Ganuus Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I love it. I would like to do something like that. Are the legs on the second one plasticard or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The It Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Wow those are some nice bionics! woot my first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Beork Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I used copper wire from normal electric cable, I think from old earphones or something, as well as some guitarwire and springs normally used to hang advertising from ceilings in supermarkets. All legs were based on normal one, filed down and usually covered with plasticard (0.3mm) because I hate the way that two legs from one mini are asymetrical. At the moment I'm also working on making most of the legs myself, cheaper and easier IMO. @ Stratokhan: I could always make a cost estimate if you really want them, I accept all kinds of organs, as long as they are well maintained ;). BTW, Thanks for the edit Kurgan, I didn't realise the pictures were to wide. Beork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Beork Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ok, small update for my Ironbound, made a bit more progress and better pictures. First of, the lascannon marine: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Ironbound/112_3063-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/bro.../112_3065-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/bro.../112_3064-2.jpg And without weapons: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/brother_beork/Ironbound/112_3061-2.jpg His left shoulderpad is in the making, still needing a GS chapter badge, which is coming along. Just takes a bit more time than expected, making a bunch of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truehero Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 very very awesome. makes me want to start a similar project. Very cool idea and execution. Kudos!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Awesome, awesome work. Thanks again for the idea. I did a :lol: job of it, but that's my fault not yours. Inspiring to say the least. Better days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Flintlock Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ave, all Very, very nice work! Best bionics I've ever seen, from GW included. Inspirational stuff. As for Generic Marine 2... Perhaps have him holding a second bolter, either levelled or held kinda vertical, resting against his shoulder? Otherwise holding a hand to his helmet like he's recieving a vox, or perhaps pointing, or wielding an auspex... (I know, that really didn't help to narrow options down :D Just reeling off ideas.) I really don't have much C&C to add... try me when I've developed that kinda patience :lol: Great stuff, Brother_Beork. Keep it up! Imperator mando tuae mortalitas.

Master Toddius Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 You Sir are truly a modeling lunitic. I've never seen that much talent in the wire/guitar string/pasticard EVER on this forum. Great Great stuff! thanks for sharing and I CANNOT wait to see you go all out on a dread... :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repentant Angel Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 or maybe a hugely converted custom diorama? oh, and for the marines, i think that the ideas about auspex/pointing have been done too much, i prefer the idea of the second bolter. i mean, who can resist making a cool model even cooler? he will look very good indeed. as you can probably tell, i like the work dont ever give it up. ever. or i might have to hunt you and blow you up before seizing your work (see quote).

Wayfarer Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Really excellent work. It just keeps getting better. The rivets look good in a limited number, so long as you don't cover everything in rivets I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Beork Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 thanks for the replies, I'm still torn between not riviting and riviting, maybe I'll just do some with and some without... anyway, I like the idea about the second blter, but I might downgrade it to a boltpistol, I never liked two bolter wielding marines... don't know why really... My original idea was his hand tempering/touching the targeter at that side of his head, but I don't think I'll like it... oh well, plenty of time to think while makinh the other marines.... 40 something left you know.... And a dread, don't forget the dread, he's been waiting patiently for a year now... Beork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 can you give a tutorial on how you made some of the bionics and maybe figure 2s chestplate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Wow, that's beautiful! And just looking at your images give such insight and ideas as to how one may convert or scrath-build stuff. Very very Good!! :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
