This a long over due continuations of a started a while back. 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. ...

Continue the work cutting up the models to find I want use to create something can be fun. It does create the issue sometimes being so involved one forgets to take photos. The idea behind all this work is trying a make these power pack not only more appealing to me but make more functional in the fictional sense of making sure these packs have the jet exhausted as intend in all power. It's something I just need to be there for my own sanity. Looking at my work table you can see the freed power packs from Death Guard starter box as well as the power packs from chaos booster box for lack other term. The first power pack being my favorite from the box with central skull on the back and the tentacles holding the plasma gun. The plasma gun was removed at set aside to be clean up for another conversion in progress. With removing the plasma gun it did prosent the problem of the lower combonets damage or removed in the process. I'll use the similar price from the older chaos marin...

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...

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...

So bot a box of ten chaos hounds a while back with the intention of converting them into wolf's for space wolf chapter. Shortly after purchase I saw first preview for the fenris wolf's pack. Needless to say the box of hounds got put on the shelf. Now I've changed plans and now will convert them into giant wolf rats for use with Skaven army or a unique space marine chapter still in development. A quick look of what I have so far. So first thing I've done was cut and reshape the plasted at the end of the hound so I can replace the short tails with a custom made rat tail. To do this I've taken gardening wire cut into a short length and a tear shape hope at one end. Then place a smaller amount of greenstuff on the inside and pressed the loop into the greenstuff, added super glue to inside then clapped shut. Each of the chaos hound body half's have corrasponding numbers which help so much if keeping project moving smoothly. ...

So been taking a break from posting content and working on art due to starting my second and family related issues all is well but it had to take the focus. In the time I found great inspiration for my current project as well as future ones. Here is just a great image of the character Here are two great ones with simply weapons switch. Here are some other wonderful finds These last images are a great miniature artist Who has a great fundness for the squat faction of old has done so many converson that at just simply amazing. Once I learn how to link to his blog I will edit this page again. But teal great reason I wanted to share this is what he has done is some thing so similar to what I wish to do with this model. So looking some other fun conversions using Terminator bitz. Not my favorites but still great fun. This a great one I really like, I do somethings differently but great paint job and exalent use of various bitz. Now not directly a Squa...
