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.

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...

Death Guard and pox walker getting started boxs

So made another purchase at favorite hobby store and started another project. I purchased the starting box kits for death Guard and pox walkers. After a fun conversation with another miniature hobbyist I took these two boxes home to begin the work of cutting cleaning and reshaping quite a few of the compoments in both kits. Looking at the pox walker sprue I'm really impressed with all the details and I'll ask of assemble if the miniatures. I decided to cut and collect all the nurgle fly icons That I can from box kits but starting with poxwalers first. The goal of cutting them will be made a small sprue and mold to replicate as many as needed for converting future miniatures dedicated to nurgle both in fantasy and 40k warhammer. Now there a pox walker in this box I really like for the gas mask and rotted fire axe he weilds. I very much what to have more so I cut it out and began cleaning off the hands and slime to make it more universal to use wither miniatures. This will de...

Since I have begun being more diligent on continue to post on this blog as I refocus on my arts and hobby field there needs to be a healthy balance of sharing new stuff and old. Tonight once home from work I got busy eating up and continuing my work of these chaos hounds conversion into Wolf Rats. I had taken photos previously of progress a while back the images have been lost. So im continueing with out them. Add caption Over all work on the wolf rat conversion so far. This is end result of my work from this session of work on them. Two of the ten hounds had the most focus and since I'm still experimenting with the Greenstuff I have no set streamlined method for them yet. This the first one I started on you see here the build of Greenstuff to created the tail which is far from done, the ears the eyes and the front teeth. The teeth where made using yellow plastic from a generic sigh bought at a hardwarestore. ...
