quotax Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 hey folks, i thought i share my mephiston conversion with you. its based on astorath the grim. i tried to resemble most of the original mephiston model. which was in some parts pretty easy, as the astorath model alrdy featured some of the key and minor elements. regarding the chosen pose: hes supposed to be levitating. i used several bits out of lots of kits, i even built the sword out of two different ones. one of them was the sword of seargent lorenzo from the space hulk box. i had to cut and dremel some parts of the astorath model to get the positioning i was lookin for. http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/meppel%201_zpsnktfmdj1.jpg you can see a comparison in the following two pictures: (i might add the syringe, but i havent decided yet) http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/99800101049_MephistonNEW_01_zpsa9avf3qn.jpg http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/meppel%20vgl1_zpswn3pb0gi.jpg different angles: http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/meppel%202_zpsxo1ra6a5.jpghttp://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/meppel%203_zps2gxxy1nh.jpg http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/meppel%204_zpsjxa4lvfa.jpg except for some gs-fixing at his right arm and the base, he is pretty much done. i hope you like it and i am looking forward to any tips, comments and critique. cheers q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Callidan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Looks cool man. What if you bent the pin forward a bit so it doesn't look like he's falling backwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quotax Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 thx. but the pose is intended that way. like hes charging his psychic powers or smth like that... edit: i bend it some degrees and it still looks like intended and might not be perceived as "leaning backwards" in the future :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 my two cents: I think the lack of cloak and psychic hood make him less identifiable as mephiston, also, I wouldn't have kept astorath's head. Those two points aside, I like the model and is clear that you've got some talent for conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quotax Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 i applied some changes: added tubes to his plasma pistol and power sword. and i also added the book of the librarian from the dark vengeance set. http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/meppel%20v2_zpsphue0nza.jpg different angles: http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/v2%20side_zpshp6xdd4t.jpg http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/v2%20rear_zpsgvjfojgv.jpg http://i684.photobucket.com/albums/vv210/Quotax/v2%20side%20b_zpsixknmary.jpg cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
