Shortsonfire79 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Same things with the pics (it might be because I need to be a member..I'll get on that in a bit) The wings look like they really fit. From what I can see, the GSing looks okay. I'd like to see bigger pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Invictus Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yeah, I gotta get the pics all figured out... I'll see what I can do while still on high speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy40k Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Looks pretty cool and all, but you can't post up something like that and not tell us how you did it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Invictus Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well, the wing was not too difficult, just time consuming. I started by taking several sizes of plasticard tubing and one plastic coated wire (all found at Riders hobby). The overall swept shape of the wing was done by bending the wire filled tubing to the desired shape. Over that I put a larger diameter tube and glued in place, allowing all parts to dry in between. One the general shape was achieved I started fine tuning the wing shape, and then for the cloth part, I used cheapo toilet paper, and removed a single later (tissue paper works well too), and super glued it onto the frame, leaving enough "give" to make it look billowing and whatnot. I used a lighter to remove excess material, but had to be very careful. Looks good for damaged wings though. Then I added many many watered down layers of PVS glue to retain the shape. Roughly 25 layers later, I added 3 thin coats of super glue on the top and bottom of cloth. The green stuff and cleaning of the connecting joints were just trying to make biomechanical look a little more fluid, some turned out better than others, but the general idea is there thus far. As far as the bionics/pneumatics, Its basically chopping the limb and fitting plasticard tubing to fit and look like the istons moving would actually do something. Not the greatest explanation, but I'm not very good at that. Hope it helped. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Skaav Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Followed the link from my Topic Thread on Perturabo, I really like what you've done with the DP, it gives it an individuality compared to the others actually available by GW. Definitely gives me some more ideas towards the project. Infact, the more ideas I get, the harder the project seems to be, but there's one thing I love, and that's a challenge :).
