Pizzasemmel Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 since this is still WIP i won't post this is my BT thread (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...182855&st=0) allthough it will end up in there some day One day i stumbled across a very neatly converted vindicator on the wide wide internet (the front was filled with skeletons, it just looked awesome) and i discovered this model has a lot of potential to be converted. So i bought one, gathered all the bits i have got left (which isn't that much) and my plastic card and got down to work. After two complete afternoons/evenings filled with "the mentalist" and a superglue flush i finished this baby. A few words on some of the detail: -the ammunition lift is ridiculous on the original model so i came up with a completly different solution. The idea was derived from the train mounted supercanons from WWII. Its scratch built - the ventilation system in the back was supposed to be a hole but i was too lazy to cut it out -.- -the barrel is from plastic card too, only the skulls on the tip are bits -i used a lot of CoD bits or details which were cut of the buildings (e.g. statues on the front) -oh yeah it a freakin brick wall ;) enough with the talking, here we go C&C welcome as allways beautifull fingers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanks Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think I speak for everyone when I say "Holy #@$%". That is some masterpiece you got there, and after looking at your painting thread it's obvious that it will be even more so when you're done with it.

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Wow.. I would never have thought of doing something like that with the crane. Very nice conversion, looking forward to seeing it finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igotsmeakabob!! Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 See, the problem now is that you need to build three more. Three to play with in every game, and the fourth to send to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asrech Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Now this daddy likes! The loading arm is a very well done conversion indeed. The cannon is probably my favourite conversion for the front part, but it all looks awesome! Â *And I just have to ask, is this: Linky the inspiration you mentioned? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loading arm is a very well done conversion indeed.The cannon is probably my favourite conversion for the front part, but it all looks awesome! *And I just have to ask, is this: Linky the inspiration you mentioned? :P allthough this (yours ;) ) wasn't theone i was thinking about when i came up with my plan, i am sure i have seen this before and now that you mention it, its highly likely that i copied the statues in the front ;) but the real deal was this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I know he had the vindicator dozer blade but what did he decorate it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzasemmel Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 I know he had the vindicator dozer blade but what did he decorate it with?  -Dozer blade, as said, is from the kit itself  -statues are from the big entrance from one of the CoD buildings  -Eagle side parts, also CoD (they are some kind of pillar)  -The brick wall is a textured sheet of plastic  -the chain, well...is a chain^^  -everything else: plastic card and magic sculpt (and small bits of course)  Hope this made things a bit clearer for you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizzasemmel Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Some "black templarisation" I really like banners and flags, i think they are one of the most crucial parts for transporting the templar feel hope you like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Loring Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Superb additions! Very nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The banners are a great addition. However, I have difficulty imagining this going to battle, without brother marines expending their lives to save damage on this precious vehicle.
