DIDM Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I scored him on Ebay for cheap but the seller can't remember/ never knew is my guess. His base is from 2003, but that could mean nothing in reality. I'd like to know who he is, I know he is a Captain with claws, but that is all I know ATM. Any help would be great, I figure one of you guys should know. http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s216/tyleroreilly/wolfcaptian004.jpg http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s216/tyleroreilly/wolfcaptian009.jpg sorry for my old cameras 5 MP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239719-help-in-identifying-old-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Looks like a converted bitz bash effort. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239719-help-in-identifying-old-model/#findComment-2892021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 That's not an old model. It isn't even pewter. Just looks like someone took bits from the Space Wolves pack and made a plastic model.

Wulfebane Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 That's just one of the hundreds of variations you can make from the Space Wolf pack box. Nothing unique about him. He could easily represent any number of fluff-based named characters.

Valerian not quite, it is not plastic. I have new GK models that are metal cast, and this is different, whitish and "dusty". It was described as a rare hero, thought someone may know.

Gen. Confusion Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 If that is not plastic then what is he doing with that plastic looking banner that comes in the space wolves box. Also his legs and shoulder pads look plastic.

adary Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 plastic with fuzzed up primer. soak him in pinesol/simple green/anything that removes paint from plastic for a while, and you will fix that :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239719-help-in-identifying-old-model/#findComment-2892051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_plays_guitar Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yep, gotta agree that it's plastic with fuzzy primer. That's what happens when you spray it outside and the primer dries before it gets onto the mini. Everything on there can be found in the Space Wolves pack box, including the banner. But the base looks nicely done. So it's not a rare captain, but it certainly could be used as a Space Wolf character if you wanted.

Pup, I've seen every Space Wolves model ever released, and I do mean ever. That model is nothing but a plastic model made with the available bitz from the Space Wolves pack (as the pack was clearly intended). If it has any weight to it at all it's from the base.

Quillen Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Chest piece is new kit. Legs new kit. Banner new kit. Claws in a silly pose, new kit. It's all pieces from the new kit with a fancy base.

saphius Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The color could be due to the owner making SW models with his own resin and selling them. Not probably, but possible. Granted he might enjoy the delights of Biff and Larry behind bars if he got caught, but I digress.

Forté Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Think the arms are from the metal wolf guard with the crazy hair. The rest is from the SW sprue. And as for the texture....that's either a poor and furry undercoat spray or someone is making illegal resin casts. The 2003 on the base is the date when the base mold was made. You'll find most have this. Basically, you've been done if you paid for a kit bash which anyone can do and the seller is a moron. Sorry to say.

clanfield Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 yep plastic kbits from the wolf box and a failed white spray (been there done that myself) just out of interest how much did he cost Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239719-help-in-identifying-old-model/#findComment-2892265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Think the arms are from the metal wolf guard with the crazy hair. The rest is from the SW sprue. No they are the plastic ones found in the new SW box. You can see the wolf skulls on them. Now before we jump on the bandwagon and say he got conned lets hear how much he has paid for it.

Your right on the arms. Just noticed the odd shaped joins at the shoulders. I'll hold off until the price is shown. If you did pay too much then you should be able to claim for false description by the seller. You did use pay pal I'm guessing.

thade Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm not a Space Wolf player...but I have two Space Wolf tactical kits, still on the sprue, and I can very easily make an exact replica of this guy. Perhaps I will, for the lolz...and so I, too, can field this rare hero. <3 It's true that white spray paint can go on a little dusty if you do it impatient-like. I find the excess comes off with a tooth brush...but if it's clumped on there good you'll have to soak it in simple green as another poster suggested. He's totally a usable figure: he can be a WG, lone wolf, wolf lord...most of the ICs, actually.

-Volsung- Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I notice a thick flash on the pistol butt of the holstered gun on his thigh. Might want to take a file to that. There also seems to be putty work where the armpits are, where the arms meet the torso but I could be wrong.

WulfenBrother Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Did a little searching on eBay and found out this model went for $15.50 (US) + shipping............. Lesson learned.

DIDM Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 just got my new SW army, all plastic models he is not plastic, well not all of him at least. I knew he felt heavier than plastic should, he has metal bits on his plastic body I now have a lot to do, all this learning and painting with random drinking in between Thanks for helping you guys, if for nothing more than making me look a n00b, as I guess I should Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239719-help-in-identifying-old-model/#findComment-2893477 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdall Skullcrusher Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The heaviness is probably what looks like rocks on his base. Rest seems plastic.

Forté Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 $15! Make sure you put feedback on the sellers account stating that he lies in his descriptions and can't use putty or spray paint. People like that seller are scum and fair enough, you've had a learning experience but you could have just bought a SW pack box, got some broken slate and done 10 marines yourself for less than $15 per model.

I'm a grub, I'm learning, and really, I could care less about the money, not like I bought a pro painted model. I do not like making mistakes, but I also feel that they can be more beneficial. I did get a little purchase happy as soon as I secured most of an army. I have no patience, not sure I will ever get any.
