Queen Bee Knight -- Thank you! Please read the new post

[JeffTibbetts]

Wow, man. Thanks! Yeah, I have a hard time taking credit for half of the stuff on this model. It's been an exercise in learning to roll with the punches. I'm not really very good at that in my real life, so the Knight's been extremely important to me on many levels. 

 

Thanks again for the kind words. 

[Kobrakei]

Jeff, that is seriously astonishing work. I'm just....yeah. Speechless.

 

So, Household soon? :P

[JeffTibbetts]

If you can convince my wife to buy me 3 new Knights, I'd be delighted. She's @SamAnnKelly on Twitter. Tell her she needs to change her Twitter name while she's at it.

[Kobrakei]

I'm just saying that @queenbeetibbets isn't taken...

[JeffTibbetts]

Hmmmmm... Good to know. 

[geektom]

She is just bad-ass for days.

[JeffTibbetts]

I agree. I think it looks like she could eat most Knights for breakfast. She just exudes menace.

[Excessus]

Niiiice man! I've been here from the start, and it's been an awesome journey! :D

 

 

It's gonna be soo cool if you get a skin in that game!

[JeffTibbetts]

I know you have. Thanks for the continued support! I took a million pics today, so I'll throw a few more on here once my phone charges and I port the pics over. 

[SW1]

Looking forward to seeing the pics!!!

 

Just gone back through the thread and well ... Wow.

 

A little piece of history in the making. :tu:

[JeffTibbetts]

Alright. Had a good photo session with the light box, only to realize later that I probably had the settings messed up again. Anyway, I want to share some of these since they show the metal trim with a few scratches added. Some of these are just plain sloppy, so I'll probably go in and touch a few up. I have a LOT of pics, but I'll just throw a few on here for you guys.

The whole time I was prepping these, I was thinking about how filthy this girl is. I had this whole scenerio running through my head about how this is probably like machine cult dirty mag stuff. All these closeups of dirty, rusty, oily machine bits. I can just imagine a magos busting in on a new adept who was perusing a heretikal dataslate filled with intimate studies of the Queen Bee.

I'm not a fan of exploitation, but the thought did make me giggle a bit too much. Enjoy the pics, you sick, sick puppies.

[Rojo]

Just marvelous. I'm in awe of your dedication and attention to detail. You can tell this is a labour of love.

[helterskelter]

The honeycomb is just incredible

[GhostMalone]

I feel like a perv for saying this but we need pics of her stripped down

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Yep, that's badass.

 

Nothing else to say. Massive well done mate.

[Brother Argent]

And that, folks, is how to hobby...

[Bryan Blaire]

And that, folks, is how to hobby...

Agreed, Brother SP! Jeff, you have created a wonderful, deadly looking piece here, definitely a labor of love for the hobby. Awesome stuff, man, awesome stuff, definitely high marks, upper echelon and all that!

 

:thanks: very much for sharing everything you have done on your girl!

[JeffTibbetts]

Thanks, everyone! Nice to come back to this thread and see the comments.

 

Kurama, if ever a Knight has been laid bare to the world, it is she. Between this thread and my blog I think you've all seen more of her than her own mother. thst said, not all her armor is glued down obviously, and I do have lots of "under the covers" pics. At some point I'll get around to posting them all on my blog in a big expose, covering the completed model and breaking down detailed pics of all her details.

[WarriorFish]

Exquisitely detailed, these last pictures really top her off Now she just needs to add to this with tallies of victories and kills

[Biohazard]

The paint on this lady is outstanding sir. Fantastic weathering and details.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Good job on the scratches! You didn't overdo it, and kept the theme running. :tu:

 

Need a bigger loghtbox though. ;)

 

Any word from Freeblade?

Thanks! And yeah. We're chatting. Nothing final but it's safe to say they're interested. :D

[Battybattybats]

Oh heck, it got better....

Wow seriously my friend that's... i'm Gobsmacked.

[JeffTibbetts]

Wow seriously my friend that's... i'm Gobsmacked.

 

Thank you, as always, for your encouragement and feedback. I'm in the process of taking some full-body pics right now so I can do up a final blog post and call it good. 

[Augustus b'Raass]

I like the pic with the black paper background the best, Jeff. The others look good too, but the colours become slightly washed out due to overexposure, plus you can see the lightbox's framework in some of them. I hope you'll be able to get her completely in all the shots! :tu:
