Chaos Hounds Converson W.I.P. 2

So continuing the work on these 10 little beast and having a blast. A lot of my work was put towards catching up all the hounds to have at least have the wire base of the tails installed which has developed into less of a chore as I refine the steps to this part of the process. Getting some good practice to with new clay shapers tools, they continue to be a dream.

Onto the show of photos.

Eres the chaos puppy pile

So I can't tell enough the simply thing of these hounds having matching numbers to each half of the body, how much it help keep things straight as I fly through working on them in the crazy hours of the night and morning.

So here are the guardening wire used to be the base of the tails. I made different lengths to kinda keep with the chaos.

The end result of using a dremel and knife is too made a hole for the wire to come through and a groove between the halfs, the Grove is for giving the green stuff more surface to grab as well and make a more natural orientation of the tail lining up with the spine.

These four photos above show the progress of place the wire base of the tail. The green stuff inside is key to anchor the wire so the wire can be shaped and posed without fear of Polling out.

Using the claps to hold the half's together so the super glue to dry proper as well and press the green stuff for a better hold as it cures.

The three photos above show the experiment with greenstuff and plastic card to make the heads of these hounds more rat like. The eyes and ears need more work, I'm really not happy with either but it's a start and this beast is singled out for trail and error.

Feed back is most welcome.

Unboxing: Necromunda House Escher Gang

This is exciting finally get a look at the miniatures from warhammmer necromunda game. There is so.much rich history and fun connect to the old game and background and now to see it be revived it just amazing. Personal note: with life responsibilities not all day able to take time for the hobby of miniatures let alone my art, working to be more frequent with post and updates I have found it really helps me relax. So the Escher Gang box. I'm kinda impressed with box art, Will post the original art peicevwhen I can find it. Now onto looking at the contents. So we have have two stories of miniatures that are exactly the same, instructions and a set of 10 special round bases for the miniatures. Each of these bases are highly detailed and shaped to mimic the necromunda (and zone mortalis forgeworld boards) I think of have some fun ideas for converting even the bases Will have to experiment at a later time. Front and back few if the miniature spruce ...

Necromunda House Escher bolter conversion WIP 1

After looking over the necromunda gang house Escher box I decide I really wanted to started out with jumping into converting many of the weapons. The aim of my immediate work will to get many of the weapons cleaned up and fine to the basic form. First of these weapons will be the gang leaders range weapons the combi bolter/needler. I hope lay the ground work for future conversion of this fun bolter gun, first step will to take of the leaders arm from the bit of the spru, than clean up by saving the material and sanding where I can as much as possible. This is going to take some time for extra focus to detail and precision cuts, while there are two of these weapons in the box I rather not have to use that one yet. This a rough drawing next to the spru bit and my general idea and aim. So once I have the House Escher bolter down to its basic form it will open a create desk of opportunity for expanding armament options for house Escher gangs or any other warhammer faction that c...
