termie conversion

Recommended Posts

awhile back there was a space wolf termie conversion uesing the arm-guards from the command sprue and the termie flamer with the nozzles cut off and replaced with what looked like 2 cut-down heavy bolters. I tried the sercy but my serch-fu is weak, any help finding out who did the conversion or pics would be greatly appreciated*g*

Or do you mean my Pre Heresy reaper autocannon space wolf?

 

Mjolnir, your blog stuff is A-Mazing!

 

I assume you are also WLM on The Great Crusade?

 

I am wondering how you have done such a job with your GS hair and fur?

I can chop and kit bash well enough, but my GSing is limited to filling gaps and making Templar robes blend around for Terminators.

 

What does one do to grow GS skill, I mean, are there incremental things to do in getting better?

More on my blog.

 

 

Wow, that is amazing stuff...

Would you mind terribly listing the non-GW/FW stuff you've used in addition to the steam knight helmets and shoulderpads?

Glad you like them guys.

 

You can find comments on the termie construction and other termie images on this page of my blog.

 

The heads are from max mini and the shoulder pads have been made using oil drums from the Tamiya jerry can set.

 

The only tips I can give with GS is to practice and always keep your sculpting tool wet by dipping it quickly into water. Some people like to use vaseline or some other oil based product but I don't like the greasy feel. Also, water can simply be mopped up! :wacko:

 

I suppose on thinking about it the next best tip is to not feel you have to make the final product out of GS in one go. Make a section of the final piece - let that set and then build up on it. That is how I built my model for Leman Russ. I also experimented with milliput as this can be filed to a very fine finish and hard edges are easier to sculpt.

I've been using my own Logan Wing army as an opportunity to get serious about sculpting parts and details. I've found Milliput better that Greenstuff for a lot of pieces. It takes longer to set so you have more time to work with it and when it does finally dry it is harder making it easier to work with needle files to file down and get crisp, sharp edges. Theo nly downside to milliput is that it can be a little more brittle so for something like beard braids greenstuff is a bit more resilient because it will flex a little.
Glad you like them guys.

Just went through your entire blog. That is a beautiful force.
