1000marines Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 So I've been lurking and replying alot on the B&C, and my dad finally got a digicam last week. And thus you get to see this: http://members.lycos.nl/erwinbeens/sniper1.jpg It's a scout sniper I did before the new plastic snipers were out (I started right after the first plastic scouts came out, but I'm very slow) :) The sniper rifle is made up of the back of a lasgun (cadian plastics), as is the muzzle, the barrel is that of a pulse rifle covered in GS cloth. The scope is from a plastic scout boltpistol. I also added the sheaved(sp?) sword on his back (cuz I like it) and I covered the mouth with some more GS cloth (can't really see that in this pic, though) I'm really pleased with the GS work, though his right wrist is a bit awkward if you look it it from certain angles :( But all in all I'm happy with the result. I only fear that my paintjob will not do the modelling much honour (I'll try as hell though :lol: ) C&C welcome -kmarines PS: I like my version of the sniper rifle better then the GW version, but that's just taste, I guess edit(2): here is a pic where you can see the face a li'l better.

Lord Ragnarok Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Nice use of Cadian plastics. I was going to try the same thing v/s dropping cash on the new snipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I believe i have seen this already my friend :) I havent got anything to nit pick at, as its an excellent conversion (definitely better than the new plastic scouts with sniper rifles). I still LOVE your GS work for the basing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quannum Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 its nice work but the scope on the rifle looks wobbly. It's at a slant and therefore makes the rifle seem flimsy. Get the rifle, hopefully the focal point of the model, as straight and lethal-looking as possible and you got a dang fine scout there, trooper!

1000marines Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 yeah you're right there Quannum, but it's REAL ffing hard to straiten those little pieces, it's a wonder that the barrels came on to the back of the weapon that strait. I'm gonna leave it as is and hope it looks better when painted (black paint does wonders :) ) if it still looks odd and flimsy I'll reposition the scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
