Brother Captain Andrecus Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Well, I thought I'd buy into the Ironclad fad, so I bought me some Hurricane Bolters and some plasticard and I built me an Ironclad! Yeehaw! This particular I'clad is a bit different than some others you might see, but I like it. So, without further ado, I present to you my Ironclad Dreadnought! http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff004.jpg The extra armor. http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff001.jpg The foundation of the Seismic Hammer. This part is the hammer's "head". It's made of two matching plastic bits that came with the Hurricane Bolters I ordered. http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff005.jpg The Seismic Hammer's handle bit. This came from an old computer cable... http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff008.jpg The two bits attached together, with another black plastic bit attached to the short end of the hammer-head. This came from a broken airsoft gun. The black plastic thing is shaped like a screw-head, with one line across it... http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff009.jpg Another pic of the whole hammer. http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff002.jpg To make the Hurricane Bolter, I just took the Hurricane Bolter bit, and then widened the hole that's in it with a craft knife so that it fit over the little arm stub on the Dreadnought. Simple! http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff007.jpg The whole Dread. I took the hammer and placed it in the DCCW so it looked like the Dread was holding the hammer. Looks a bit better in person, and It's not quite finished yet. http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/Drakdylon/Dreadnoughtstuff011.jpg Here he is striking a pose. Doesn't that look like "I had a hard days work purging Xenos"? So that's my newest conversion, and I must say one of my best. What do you guys think?

zarnak21 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Look good to me mate. The hammer is a nice little addition although you might want to make it look like he's gripping it a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yes, I agree with you on that one... After I took these pics, I converted the Stormbolter on his arm into a melta-gun and re-positioned the fingers a tad, so it looks as if he's really holding the hammer. Pics of that will follow...

FuriousFerret Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Nice work! - though I don't subscribe to your interpretation of the seismic hammer (I see it more as a piston-driven pneumatic battering ram), but to each his own. The hurricane bolter is intriguing, could you post a better picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'll try, yes... My camera is kinda stupid, but we'll see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
