Dratnos Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I like the latest conversion, I think it looks like he's just fired that grenade launcher. You know what would be cooooool? Have the grenade coming out of the launcher! But really, I think its a really awesome idea to use a grenade launcher to represent the grenades (I really hope that that was the intention =P) and I may be stealing that idea from you =P -- Dratnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hahaha, thanks Dratnos! But I don't know if you noticed, but the grenade launcher dude, is the one on the left in the painted pictures! That was the old conversion, and what happened to him :D Sorryyyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Thanks guys :) I've pretty much finished up the Chapter Master. He has everything he'll have when hes painted, I just need to get rid of the scorpion on his chest...somehow...any ideas on that? And what to put there? I don't have fist icons small enough for that... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0777.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0775.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0776.jpg And those gaps in the backpack will be filled...eventually...

Captain Mick Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Just a idea ofcourse but maybe fill it up with GS and glue a skull icon on it or make one with GS, great model still :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I really like that model, that is one very well done Chapter Master and the use of bits and various parts is well executed. It's not easy to make a model from a wide array of bits without using a ton of blatant green stuff work and you've avoided that here, nice job!

Shortsonfire79 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks AWOL and Ebsolom Dhaark and Vash113 and Captain Mick. What I ended up doing was just cutting it out with my knife. It was actually pretty simple, since the resin is more...crusty?..brittle than GW plastic, so I was able to achieve straighter, 'stronger,' cuts. Well, finished the Chapter Master. I ended up using a fist from the Crimson Fists' metal shoulderpads that Gamesworkshop sells. I plan on having him commission painted by Master Chaplain Astador sometime in the near future :P http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0958.jpg Also, I've done some painting, enough to almost finish 6 models in 2 days, which would have been a new record...but, I only finished 2... Of course, when the whole squad is finished, they will receive a nice picture with a white background and all. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0969.jpg And After being at a stalemate in this metaphorical game of chess with my Chapter Standard. I've decided to try and paint a couple of different ones, using different ideas, with a changed Chapter symbol, and possibly a darker background using This Technique, by Franciuus. I know it will be hard for me to achieve, but I figure if I water my paints down enough, it would be easier. And of course, I like the original standard more than the next two. The flow of the 'flag' seems more natural than the other two... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0966.jpg And during Physics today, I was working out some possible designs, and in the last 3 minutes of class, I scraped this one out. I'll work on it again with some more detail, but I like the way that it shows the use of the Thunderhammer. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0965.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm a horrible drawer, this took a lot of effort. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0970.jpg Not sure if he'll fit in the 2x3 box.. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0971.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timboli Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 i would maybe switch the position of the arm so that you can see the head but the rest looks really nice :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 How about this one then? I did this in class, so I didn't have a reference like the one from yesterday. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0973.jpg I'll probably end up putting other hammer one on my Land Raider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Nice CM, well painted models and sketche`s/banners look good so far. Well done :thanks: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thank you Captain Mick. :D Well, new sketch, and I put it on the banner tester, but its off center... :wallbash: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0973.jpg And I finished these two. The other heavy bolter guys still haven't had any work on them, and the last two are still unpainted. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0980.jpg Something tells me I may be shooting myself in the foot for bringing this baby back up, but I thought I'd give it a try anyways, since I've been working so hard on it. Before: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0974.jpg Post-sanding: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0977.jpg New, pretty top :): http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0979-1.jpg Hopefully, the detail piece: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0982.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0981.jpg And the front of the Land Raider will be further converted to look like a Prometheus on the front, to get rid of the hideous flamestorm cannons that were previously on the building blocks. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0983.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/LRPrometheus3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortsonfire79 Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thank you Captain Mick =D A night of progress. The Prometheus scanner. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0985.jpg In place http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0984.jpg And so far, all the detail pieces I've accumulated so far.

Shortsonfire79 Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Thanks again Mick ^_^ Finished up the Prometheus parts, unglued. I've finished the Prometheus Command Tank upgrades. So thats done :) Although, I'm not sure of the scroll on top of the fist. What do you think? http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0991-1.jpg[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Looking good, although perhaps if you moved the scroll underneath the fist (not sure if it'll fit?) it might look more natural. Well, as natural as a super-heavy can look ^_^ James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Looks good but the scroll below the fist will look better indeed, keep up the good work ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks James, I probably will move it then. I might even just remove it. Thank you too Mick! Only 2 more marines for the squad left! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0992-1.jpg And an army shot. Ranging around 70-90ish models, I have a couple more squads to finish, then the rest need painting ;) http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0999.jpg And I bought some Battlefoam! :) There are the exact amount of spaces I need for this army too, its great. I'll just need to buy a few more trays for tanks, dreadnoughts, and the scouts that I have in mind. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0993-1.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0995-1.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/IMG_0994-1.jpg And for those of you, my Eagle Scout picture. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j276/shortsonfire79/Chin_BSA.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Nice looking pic there mate! :) Your army is looking good, if you still want me to paint your master shoot me a pm, I'm about to get bogged down with work so the sooner you let me know the sooner he'll be ready for you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
