Shortsonfire79 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Update on the Sergeant. Front torso thing is nearing completion, I need to add rivets, and something to make it not plain. I know its longer than it should be, but I'm not amazing at cutting angles. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_20431.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I finished construction of the random sergeant. I need to figure out how to make small rivets for his loin plate. Note the Royal Redeemers chapter symbol on it. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_20481.jpg My sister's dog is being sent home tomorrow from New York (I live in California) so I won't be able to spray this until Sunday? I'm marching in my school marching band in the Oakland Christmas Parade..which will be filmed, and put on TV on the...14th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I've given rivets a go recently. I rolled out a long thin sausage of GS, allowed it to cure and cut a slither off to glue on as i need one. It's worked quite well so far. The sarge is looking good, but i feel that where the plates meet the torso it is a little bland. Maybe a trim of plasticard around the top edge would help with this?

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 I like the GS idea, I've been thinking of trying it, or just using some plasticard rods that I have...though they are a tad big. I'll try the GS. I'll think about adding some stuff near the torso/plate area...though, the Chronus model (which this was originally supposed to be) Doesn't have anything but a hinge-like thingie (which I'm sure is for relieving himself =-D ) Thanks for the ideas and C&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeller Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 The custom librarian has some fantastic green stuff. However, he looks like he is about to roll his ankle. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks, the Green Stuff was done by Articwolf01, my best friend. He is actually floating, as the flame is supposed to represent a jump-pack option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 how about building the skelton out of sprues and putting P-card plates? maybe some plumbing stuff for guns and joints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Can't wait to see more, specially that conversion beamer thing... Anyhow, the scratch built Libby with the flaming-hands-o'-DOOM looks pretty awesome. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 how about building the skelton out of sprues and putting P-card plates? maybe some plumbing stuff for guns and joints? For what...the titan? Yeah, thats what I was going to do anyways :P Can't wait to see more, specially that conversion beamer thing...Anyhow, the scratch built Libby with the flaming-hands-o'-DOOM looks pretty awesome. :) I think the conversion beamer is done, but I might make another one, because someone pointed out that it was kind of large. Thanks on the Libby, I'll pass on the phrase. I got 2 drop pods and 4 new Chapter Masters for Xmas eve. I'll see if I can trade in the Chapter Masters at my local store (most likely not, but I hope so.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Thanks! I'm so glad you're my one fan. =-D Oh right, I'm not starting on Friday. Because! My parents had asked me about 2 weeks ago, if I wanted to go ice skating with my extended family (its tradition, we do it every year) But this year, my sister has a job, so she wouldn't be going until late, for dinner (also tradition, Buca De Bepo) so they asked me if I wanted to go, I said no, because she wasn't. But at first, at the Xmas party, they asked " You're going to the ice skating right?" and hell..I can't really say 'no' because everyone wanted to know..but I had SWORN I told them I would only go to dinner...SOOO no starting on Friday... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 3 hours..thats how long it took to make a DROP POD..holy :) that is SO much time...Definitely harder than a Rhino..by FAR..I think it was harder than a Land Raider even. Coming from someone with MY modeling ability =-D hahahahah. there was a lot of 'holding together' and 'do this WHILE you do that' and SO. MUCH. FLASH. There were 13 points where the things that go up the sides (between the doors) were attached to the sprue..AND THERE ARE 5 OF THOSE!! holy cow.. 3 freaking hours..holy crap. AND thats without detail! Detailing on Saturday, or tomorrow night (I have a party here...) Sorry for delay on that basing video. I still need to magnetize it, and of course, paint it. But..for my first Drop Pod, results wise, I'll give it an 8/10, as a model, 4/10. Horribly made by me. Design (by GW): 9/10 Sprue placement: 6/10 Instructions: 2/10 Satisfaction: 9/10 Molding: 4/10 Overall, GREAT model, design kinda sucks...I mean...the way GW makes you put it together, and everything else. (if you have one, I'm sure you understand what I mean) http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6789.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6790.jpg One down, one to go. OH, and if anyone is looking for the 4 Chapter Masters (from Apocalypse) I'd gladly trade them for a 10 man Tactical Squad. (NIB wanted, mine is still in shrink wrap!)

Captain Mick Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Good looking DP cant wait to see it painted. Btw my Devastor Squad didnt wanna help me either so it took me 1,5hours +/- and its still not completely finished :lol: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Yeah, we all face that sometimes. I lied..our party ended earlyish, so I started on my Titan..on Friday =-D Almost got the head done, but my right index finger is throbbing from cutting the plasticard. These instructions are EASY!! This 'head' looks better than anything I've scratch built (LRE doesn't count, because thats a kit bash, an the Tau Titan flopped..badly) http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6791.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6792.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6794.jpg http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_6795.jpg Picture one: The paper test...it came out Okay... Picture two: The cut out (plasticard) of the upper head assembly Picture three: Lower head assembly taped to the plasticard Picture four: Where the three base pieces go. I need to cut out the lower head assembly before I can start bending the upper head assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother of the Temple Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I really like the GS work on the librarian. How is the conversion beamer coming? Where do you get the "plans" for the Titan? If you could pm me or supply a link I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Thanks, the GS work was my friend's doing. The conversion beamer was deemed done a while ago. I'm going to have to make another one at some point, because that one is a bit large. You have to search for them. I'm not at liberty to send them around.
