Kevin48220 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Based on a discussion in a separate thread, I decided to save $30 and make my own freakin' defense line. I had a bunch of leftover foam board, sprue, and various parts from a lot of Robogear stuff I picked up for doing conversions. A lot of glue/elbow grease and some vinyl spackling later, here's what we've got: http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq78/kpsaari/IMG_0292-a.jpg A mess, naturally. This is just stage one. I will be filling in the divots with spackling and then getting them nice and smooth. The Crusaders have a "Desert Gothic" feel to their color scheme and style, so I'm going to do these in a rusty red/brown color and have sandy bases. I will trim them in various metallic paints. The walls are pretty close to my estimate of the actual GW walls--4 walls that are 5" wide and 4 that are 2" wide, for 28" of total wall. For reference, this is my Chapter's color scheme: http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq78/kpsaari/IMG_0283a.jpg The quad gun in a bit more detail: http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq78/kpsaari/IMG_0291-a.jpg Like I said, this is made from Robogear parts I picked up cheap, set on a foam board base that I put sprue on to simulate machinery. It'll look much better once I smooth out the walls and get it primed. It's as close to the size of the actual GW gun (at least in height) as I could approximate from looking at pics online. Will post more on this project as it goes on, if people are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
