stinkenheim Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hey guys, this is a WIP thread for a commission I got to do an Iron Hands captain to represent Lysander. Apologies for the grainy pics they were from my phone ;) http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0227.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0228.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0229.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0230.jpg The front of the torso has been 'bulked out' a little by adding tubing and the binoculars found on the landspeeder storm sprue. The idea is to give him a techmarine vibe. The collar needs some rivets added (actually there will be alot of rivets on the model in general). The power plant on the back was an idea I was very keen on, when finished it should bulk out the rear of the model a bit, making him look more imposing. It should also ad some extra height without the need for a back banner. Either side of the central hub will be two small smoke stack style protrusions. Basically it'll have a bit of a 'steam punk-ish' feel, it should look cool. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0231.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0232.jpg The hammer was something the client wanted to use, although I suggested removing the eagle head in favour of the spanner part. I realise it looks off centre but that is because it has a power pack thingy (busting out the technical terms here) on the back part, much like the motor section for a chainsword. Once finished it should become clearer, there will also be some wires added. Im thinking of cutting the end section from the handle and replacing it with a skull (it looks too long to me). The other hand will have the storm shield, which I need to make from plasticard and I have a couple of cool ideas for it so keep your eyes open. The legs will resemble a techmarines when I'm done with the overlapping armour sections, and one leg will be almost entirely bionic... a good experience for me because I have neer done my own bionics before. There will also be a reinforced section on the abs, and more cables coming from the lower torso, as well as an armoured 'skirt' by the groin. C&C always welcome.

Peacekeeper Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Nice, I really want to see how the power plant turns out. Also really like the hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Ahh don't be telling us all the awesome-sounding stuff you're gonna do and then not show pictures! Shame on you sir! But other than that, kudos to you for an awesome beginning to what will surely be an awesome model. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm really liking what you've got here so far. The torso is a more subtle sort of bionic/techy look than I normally associate with Iron Hands, and the Hammer is a clever idea too. The smokestacks for the powerplant kinda make him sound like a mini-dreadnought....which is wholly fitting for a Big Boss Iron Hand, i believe. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens here.

stinkenheim Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ok work on the power plant has progressed. Still need some greenstuffing to finish it off but its looking cool, or I think it is at least... http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0239.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0240.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0241.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0242.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp86/stinkenheim/IMG_0243.jpg All in all not too bad for some guitar wire, plastic tubing and half a techpriest's light... C&C appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I give it two It looks really Iron Hands-y, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exetus Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Looks great, but also kinda smacks of Iron Warriors over Iron Hands so far... guess it feels a little like an obliterator so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
