DIY Tycho

[noodlenerd]

Already posted this in the BA forum, but thought I could show off my DIY Tycho here :D check out my thread in the BA forum for more, if you wish: my 3rd company thread

 

Made with parts from the SG and the DC sprue, along with a few bitz and pieces from my bitzbox.

thanks for looking. :D

[Irabrai]

Love it. Looks much better than than the GW version of him.

[wiplash]

isnt his face supposed to be half metallic?

love the greenstuffed hair

[noodlenerd]

the face is half metallic/gold mask, but pics are hiding it. Fixed the skin tone a bit to make it more visible. :P

[SangPriest]

Very nice Tycho. Are you going to be brightening up that armor?

 

Much like Space Wolves our armor has changed shades multiple times. The scultping/GS is very nice as well!

[Iacton Qruze]

That looks awesome! Nice job.

[AL.]

nice nipples! :P

 

seriously though i like him a lot

[Soul Piercer]

Beautiful conversion, only thing I could think to have made it better would have been to GS some digi-lasers on his hand. With your skill I think that would have made it perfect.

I was gonna make my own but now that I've seen this, I sorta gave up.

Thanks, Actually I have painted the digital weapons on, since I forgot to GS them. Actually, I think it works quite well :) will upload pics later

hehe, thanks :P But seriosuly, don't give up, just do it. It's not that hard. The most important thing to remember is to reposition the legs. Running legs really don't fit Tycho, and the SG legs are really geared towards jumping and landing poses, so some cutting and repositioning is a must. :)

 

thanks for the positive comments everyone! will update later, with 99% finished pics. :)

Wow, just wow. Where did you get the wing on his left shoulder and the head?

[noodlenerd]

The new sanguinary box for the head, and the death company box for the wing, who originally had a blod drop attached to it. :P

[popkhorne]

Great job on the convertion really owns the gamesworkshop version. I was wondering were you got the open hand that you used for the one not gripping the combi-weapon or did u just reposistion the fingers? because it really has a cool look to it

[Pinky Narfanet]

I'm pretty sure that the open hands are on the SG frames. Take a look at the larger pictures on the GW site.

[noodlenerd]

good eye, Pinky narfanet, it is indeed from the SG kit. A small, yet great detail, I think. The open fist is perfect for conversions, because it has this tense look, without being clenched. I absolutely love that hand bit on the sprue, it adds a lot of character, imho. :)

[Vostok3]

That is a marvelous conversion, mate. It's quite inspiring, as I have a great many of those bits, though sadly not your skill with green stuff.

[noodlenerd]

added pics of finished version in first post :lol:

I have to admit that I spent a few "whu-huh?" moments trying to figure out what those parts were. It didn't dawn on my until the second or third time looking that they were hands.

 

Your Tycho is very impressive. You've set the bar pretty high as far as using the SG for characters. Do you have any plans to bring in more?

[noodlenerd]

thanks. I have no real plans, but I will make a count as Seth. That's all I know for now, though don't be surprised if I end up making a few more plastic SCs :tu:
