All my likes, Sir, you got them. Wow. Your stuff is amazing. So original and inspiring. The steam punk stuff is just. WOw.

 

EDIT: I was redirected here through BCK's Ordo stuff thread, but to page 8. I then proceeded here and left above comment, after which I returned to page one and reread the entire thread. Dude, consider yourself subbed. I have three words for your work: Amazing.Inspirational. Addictive.

Are you building a custode? If not have no idea. Looking forward to it though.

Ratty is coming on nicely. I think the rouge trader looks better with the arm at the front tbh, although as you said it may be because it balances better.

Thanks for the comments!

- In answer to what the build is... yes, but not just any custode - a clockwork custode, to be exact!

- I had no idea BCK was talking about me in his thread, I'm suitably humbled, as his work is amazing.

 

 

 

Well, The Hydra picked it - the answer to the mystery build is - Clockwork custode!

 
Just to show the 'workings':
 
It's a lot more subtle with the torso in place:
 
Oh - and just in case anyone thought I was completely bonkers - no, it doesn't work... 
 
 
Yet!
 
(cue evil laugh) mwahahahahahaaaaa!

Auggie, you should check out his stuff on another site where he can post warband members he can't post here.

 

Yeah, Lamby, you're Inq28 stuff is some of the most creative I've seen and today I tried out your idea of making a sword out of real metal. :D

You and your clock work gears!

 

I am really interested to to see where that model goes.

Haha - me too... since I seem to work more creatively with only minimal planning, this stage is as far as I've envisaged  :wink:

Thank you, kind sir!

 

'Clockwork Custode' is possibly the best combination of words I've heard all week.

Haha - Thanks!

- Hoping I can live up to the hype the name seems to have inspired...

So - a new sword blade for the Rogue Trader Captain started life as a paper-clip and some brass tube:
 
Bit of work with a hammer and we have this blank:
 
And a lot of filing and sanding later we get this:
 
For those of you who have been paying attention, the intention with the Captain now is to return to the left-arm behind the back duelling pose, and to balance the model with that big feather hat and some bits and bobs on the left hip - because after making that sword how can I not show it off???
 
Moving on...
 
I have absolutely no need to build anything new because I have so many half-finished and finished builds to work on, but when the muse strikes...
 
Found this old metal Vostroyan sniper lying around - did some chop chop on him (he lost his head!), added few AdMech bits to make a backpack, and then for no other reason than I wanted to see if I could make a bolt-action in 28mm scale he ended up with this mod to his gun:
 
 
 
And here's a scale comparison to the Prowler rifle:
 
 
If anyone has a hankering for some non-GW modelling, check out my blog The Dying Ground (link in signature block)

 

Thanks for looking!

Looking forward to seeing the captain with the new sword. I'm glad you've got the arm behind the back working, such a unique and cocky look.

 

Loiving that new rifle to.

Thanks The Hydra!

 

Did some minor detailing work on the crewman's bolt-action...

 
Brass tube marked for cutting and filing:
 
Filed and cut a groove to fit over the barrel assembly:
 
More filing, shaping, swearing and we end up with this:
 
Which looks like this on the weapon:
 
Thanks for looking!

This is madness. Awesome, awesome, madness.

QFT

 

Haha - thanks guys!

 

 

 

After a frustrating morning trying to build a microscopic scope for the Vostroyan sniper dude, I eventually decided the gun looked better without it...

So he gained a head, and that was it for him today:
 
 
And the Rogue Trader captain finally has her new blade in hand (note: the arm is yet to receive either a sleeve or armour, not sure yet...)
 
 
There were many other goings on in the man-cave today, though nothing yet worth photographing.
 
Thanks for looking!

Need a decent block of time to do a couple of minor but important (and therefore exacting) GS sculpting jobs on three different models - the Samurai's sleeves, the Rogue Trader Captain's sleeve, and the new crew sniper's backpack and hood. Unfortunately, I'm only getting little half hour periods here and there at the moment, so instead of finishing something... you guessed it: a new character for the femme fatales of Inquisitor Kallatar's Ordo Xenos retinue, the Assassin!

 
Had some Witch Elf bits just lying around...
Notice the two left legs?
The correct leg for this body is the one with the studded rim on her thigh boot, but of course I wnat the armoured knee... mainly because I don't get why you would armour one leg and not the other (let's not look to closely at this logic when applied to bare abs, armoured bras and g-strings, ok?)
 
But the leg with armoured knee has a different key-shape and the butt doesn't quite fit:
 
So I hacked off the un-armoured leg at the thigh, glued it to the body, drilled and pinned it, and then hacked the thigh off the armoured leg to get to this stage:
(Also lost the tabard too - 'No capes darling - no capes!')
 
Following so far? ;)
Glued it all together to get this:
 
Took the standard right arm for this body (ho hum boring...):
 
Added an Admech Ruststalker arm and ended up with the arm on the right - and the 3 possible weapon loadouts for her:
 
Though after looking at all Admech weapons turning up in other people's conversions, I'm thinking she needs a custom-blade job... so next up, it'll be out with the hammer and anvil again, to make a bespoke blade for her!
 
Thanks for looking!

i think the left most blade would probably look ok as well

good idea to cut at the thigh, by the way

 

 

Depending on the size of the blade you're making, I'd keep the center hand with that hilt and guard. Seems just a bit flashy, but not too ostentatious.

Thanks Teetengee and SalvationofReason for your suggestions!

 

 

Finally found time for a long and mostly tedious sculpting session!

Still a little wet in the pics, so there's sanding and cleanup to do yet, but you'll get the idea...
 
Here's the gang ready for GS:
 
Warming up, a simple job on the crew sniper, filling in the gaps between the power-unit and his clothing:
 
At this point - still warming up - filled some small gaps on Ratty and the mystery metal model project, but no pics (yet...)
 
Next - turned Gutrot's forearm vambrace into power armour:
 
Onto the hard part - the third sleeve layer for the Samurai:
 
 
And then, sculpted armoured pants and bra for the Assassin - the standard body is included so you can see the changes:
 
 
 
Ran out of time to do the sleeve on the RT Captain and Gutrot's skin - another day then!
 
Thanks for looking!

working with brass because plastic is for fools.... 

 

 

 

WOW man! realy cool work!

 

Thanks henrilundback!

- In retrospect, some of this may have been easier in plastic... but I like working in metals!

 

Progress is still looking awesome!

Thanks hushrong!

 

Yeah, it's all looking pretty sweet.

Thanks Rojo!

 

Going brass has worked out splendidly.  Really intricate work here.

Thanks Firepower!

- Intricate? or insane??? :wink:

 

 

 

 

Modelling on the Samurai is done, here she is:

 
 
 
 
 
 
Proper basing and paint still to do... like the remainder of the Ordo Xenos retinue :wink:
