xRagex Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hello, I'm making a St Celestine now and I've already started changing her appearance up a bit to which I'll have pictures of once I can score a digi-cam. For right now I sculpted longer hair and cut off her dove and gave her a hell pistol. Why? Hell Pistols kill people... doves I don't know what doves do but they don't kill people. The snag I ran into is, I want to give her wings. No not that 100000 times done angel wings I want baroque mechanical wings and I haven't been able to find a suitable bit to do the job, I'm thinking a penitent engine leg but I'd really like to hear what other people have to say.

Gyson_Vore Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 You could use plasticard to sculpt wings looking like they are made of scrap metal or blades... kinda messy looking, sorta ad hoc...

Khrangar Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 How about these wings from the Yeld Spyrer for Necromunda? http://ca.games-workshop.com/storefront/ne...Size=b&Img=8833 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87703-st-celestine/#findComment-1013131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRagex Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Gyson_Vore: I have yet to find a place that sells plasticard, which really sucks. Khrangar: I thought about it but I think they look dark eldarish, and I'm not sure if they'd go well with the St. C mini.

Khrangar Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Why not round off the sharp edges of the wings, cut the thing in half, and attach it to a sisters backpack after removing the vents? Would that be any better? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87703-st-celestine/#findComment-1013186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 You could use shaved bits of sprue, and swords if you have any to spare. ((And even shape some sprue as swords)) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87703-st-celestine/#findComment-1013195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRagex Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 i'll have to see if i have enough swords but i'd be willing to give that a try, i'm just trying to get a really rustic and baroque look, nothing stream lined. The reason i decided against using the angel wings was because i wanted it to look like she flew by faith and pre heresy technology not some hi tech STC she found or something.

Penitent Dreadnought Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Techno-organic wings would look pretty cool. http://www.battleangel.info/novels/novel-images/battle-angel-alita.jpg Blade/feathers would also be a refreshing change.

JeffJedi Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 The archive Chaos Raptors Jumpack looks like a metal frame with leather wings, it might be worth a look. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87703-st-celestine/#findComment-1013360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Techno-organic wings would look pretty cool.http://www.battleangel.info/novels/novel-images/battle-angel-alita.jpg Blade/feathers would also be a refreshing change. A Battle Angel Fan? Good Taste :angry: Someone should Make her as an Inquisitor or something. As for what to make techno-organic wings out of.... Dunno, you might almost wasnt to make your own with plasticard and wire plus some greenstuff. Make the frame of the wings out of stiff wire and some GS, once thats set, cut long "feathers" out of the thinnest plasticard you can find and overlap them to get the effect you want, GS them onto the framework you already made. If you make sure to have the wires that for the base actually glued into drilled holes int he model, they should be fairly durable. Just a thought though... it proably would be time consuming and dificult, but at least you'dbe able to customize it to whatever shape and look you wanted.
