lamby Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Well - as Sam Gamgee said to Rose at the end of The Lord of the Rings - I'm back! After dodging not one but two hurricanes in Hawaii... And arriving back in Australia after two years living overseas only to deploy to Rabaul on a warship a week later... Then fighting with Customs to get our sea containers cleared after months(!)... And finally having time to set up not one but two Man-Caves (as my son decided to invade the first one...) The WIP tales of Inqu][sitor have returned! Not that I really have much to show - it's taken days of pottering amongst the plastic to finally get all the bitz re-sorted to a state where I could actually start sniffing the glue... I mean, glueing things together again, but anyway, here's a quick WIP of the Ordo Xenos mech suit: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/1/667503-mech02.jpg Thanks for looking!

lamby Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Lamby great work and good to know your back with us in the down under Welcome back! You sound live you've been keeping VERY busy! I am looking forward to more of you work! Thanks Jaspcat and hushrong! Minor updates then... WIP mech - torso attached, and a possible gun arm tacked together: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/6/668823-mech03.jpg (I say 'possible' because I'm awaiting the arrival of some Dark Elder Hellion heavy weapon arms - my original plan was to have her holding a big gun in both hands.) Also WIPped up the start of another possible femme fatale: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/6/668824-samurai01.jpg Thanks for looking! daemonclaw 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamby Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Looking good as always! Cain21 - Thanks! Slowly moving along... The Samurai gained some feet: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/13/670255-sam2.jpg And some more junk in her trunk: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/13/670256-sam3.jpg A little work on the Rogue Trader captain's webbing: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/13/670258-pirate1.jpg Clean-up on her jacket, and some under-pinning on her arm before the sleeves get sculpted: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/13/670259-pirate2.jpg (Still at a bit of a loss where to go with her other arm - cutlass, hook-hand, knife???)

Pearson73 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 These guys are looking great! For the Rogue Trader, I'd go for a cutlass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain21 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Agreed a cutlass would look just dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Cato Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Maybe a hand resting a top a sheathed sword (like the SM Sternguard) would look good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamby Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) These guys are looking great! For the Rogue Trader, I'd go for a cutlass. Agreed a cutlass would look just dandy. Pearson73, Cain21 - Thanks for the feedback, and yes, a cutlass... if I can find or make a decent curved blade... Maybe a hand resting a top a sheathed sword (like the SM Sternguard) would look good? ArcticPaladin - as I've already committed to that pose for Inquistor Kallatar, I want something different, but thanks for the suggestion! Well, thanks to Tomas (Ammobunker) and MHVB (over on Warseer) the RT Captain is (possibly) going to be in a classic Commissar 'duelling' pose, with the left arm behind her back However I didn't want to cover that cool pouch, and I also want her to be holding a weapon, probably a cutlass (if I can ever find or make a decent curved blade!) So after a couple of frustrating nights where I basically ruined everything I tried to build, finally found a possible solution (of sorts) to that annoying left arm: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/17/671402-rtc1.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/17/671403-rtc2.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/17/671404-rtc3.jpg She may be a bit unbalanced with that rearward arm and enormous Sharpe Volley-Gun? Astute viewers will also notice she's gained a head. Tried a feathered cap... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/17/671405-rtc4.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/17/671406-rtc5.jpg Mmm... thoughts? There's been progress of a kind on both Kallatar and the Samurai, however no pics tonight, so check back soon. Cheers!

MagicMan Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Looks fantastic, mate. Give her a bit of hair and she'll be brilliant. If you're looking for cutlasses, try the MkIV power weapon set. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/mkiv-pwr-wpns.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan - Thanks! - Hair is the current bane of my sculpting existence... - Thanks for the cutlass suggestion, see below for my solution A little hair plus the hat sounds good. Teetengee - Thanks! - Hair... see comment above! Looking really cool Dark Rage - Thanks! So, couldn't be bothered waiting 4 weeks for delivery of a $0.45 Empire cutlass from the US, so I trimmed down a giant High Elf sword, I think it was from the Dragon Princes? http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671613-cutlass1.jpg Took some tube, diced off a bit and drilled it to make a basket hilt: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671614-cutlass2.jpg Added a small bead as a pommel - might replace it with a skull... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671615-cutlass3.jpg And here it is in hand (so to speak): http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671616-rtc4.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671617-rtc5.jpg As promised yesterday - Samurai WIP: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671618-Samurai1.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671619-Samurai2.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/12/18/671620-Samurai3.jpg So far she consists of: - Dark Eldar Hellion feet - Dark Eldar Mandrake skirt - Dark Eldar Mandrake right arm - Vampire Counts Coven Throne mistress torso - Dark Elf Witch Elf head and hair - Dark Eldar Wyches armoured left arm and knife - Wood Elf Wildwood Rangers long blade - Imperial Guard shoulder pad Thanks for looking!

SW1 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Looking really unique but still =][=. Takes a lot of work and a good eye for pieces to do such a good job. Well done!!! Can't wait to see some paint on them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Is it me, or does anyone else think that the Rogue Trader needs a high collar and epaulettes (or maybe just one epaulette)? Besides that, the model looks great so far. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Christmas - Santa found me this gem: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/3/675349-mag.jpg After a week's worth of wet, muddy camping, finally back at the desk, with a bit of mechsuit work then... Took a little watch cog: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/3/675351-cogs2.jpg Cut and drilled a hole through it: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/3/675350-cogs1.jpg Made another and glued them to this bit from the Centurion kit: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/3/675352-cogs3.jpg And in place, it looks like this: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/3/675353-cogs4.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/1/3/675354-cogs5.jpg Happy New Year all!

Quixus Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Wow all those models are beautifully done. Some of them need rounder ears though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looking sharp! Finding it very difficult to pick which mini is my favorite looking. I think the samurai is winning but its too close to tell. The Mech suit is also shaping up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
