Beork Very nice, Beork. Might I ask how you did the coils/hoses? (The metallic attachments are what I'm talking about. Not sure what to call them, properly.) -M.

Widowmaker Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 @ Aquilla and Brother_Beork - Gotta say I love those bionics.. Have to try and make myself a set sometime. Mine would be this.... my Rogue Trader http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/widowmakerphotos/Rogue%20Trader/P1000378.jpg I need to go rework some stuff like the shoulders now I know a little more about using GS, but you get the idea.

Brother_Beork Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 The metal coils are from some sort of springs used to hang cardboard from the ceiling in stores. Got a load of them, very usefull and easier to manipulate than guitarwire (which I also use) Beork Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116052-what-are-your-best-conversions-and-ideas-for-them/page/2/#findComment-1346080 Share on other sites More sharing options...

surelock Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 This one is still in progress, but it could be fun when it is done. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x309/surelock01/frontdread-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/116052-what-are-your-best-conversions-and-ideas-for-them/page/2/#findComment-1347020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominus Ex Machina Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 My best conversion would probably be this: http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h153/SupremeGrandMaster/Marines/IMGP1469.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h153/SupremeGrandMaster/Marines/IMGP1471.jpg http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h153/SupremeGrandMaster/Marines/IMGP1472.jpg it's the only major convertion I've ever attempted... this is what I did: - I didn't use the kneeling marine legs, I made these from the ones supplied in the tactical marine box - the narthesium/reductor is scratchbuilt - the hand lifting the dead/dying marines head is greenstuffed - added guitar wire connecting the helmet to the backpack of the apothecary - drilled bullet holes on the dead marines armour - chopped the legs of the dead marine away. - tried to modify the helmet by greenstuffing it - the hand lying in the water is from a bike riding marine all in all I think it turned out good.

Daeothar Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Again, great minds think alike I guess: I did this guy up about 4 years ago but never finished him... http://www.fierylions.nl/Pictures/ForumPictures/Apothecary%201.jpg My conversion I like most though would be this guy: http://www.fierylions.nl/Pictures/ForumPictures/ChaplainHakamiah.jpg He may be old and one of my first 'real' conversions, but I was and still am mightily pleased with the result, humble as it may be.
