So long story short I decided to turn my former FW space marine into a 6in FW grey knight. This is going to be a long term progect and as such updates won't be frequent, but you should enjoy what you see. So without further adu here are the first two pics. Nothing is done so just remember that.

This is a front shot of the left arm WIP. This model will be a justicar most likely as I think a staff would be horrible for travel purposes.

just some early wip on the chest. I was not able to dig down enough nor did I want to risk it for the inscription on the armor. So I decided to do the next best thing which would be small plates. They say holy terra.



Finally this fella is still WIP but is for GD 2011 in chicago. I seldom like to show entries early on as I may not keep them but I am really enjoying this model.

Well that's it I hope you all enjoy and until next time. Oh and some people have emailed about commissions, and here is my answer. I do take them on though it depends on the progect, and if you can affoard it. If you want 30 cadians painted in basics no thanks find somone else, but if you want a converted squad of marines, and some fun stuff or vehicles then I am always down. Historicals I always agree too no matter what they are.

I love you. So much. So very, very much.

ummmm thanks I think

You know I have that keyboard and I hate it.

Looks cool.

Ok so I have been working on this believe it or not. Like I said this is somewhat slow going but being it is the first "big" progect I am not really wanting to mess up. As such I took some advice from JRN and redid some of the chest work, and advice on how to work on the detailing. This has actually helped me emmensly as it is making the progect easier to sculpt, and thus meaning their is less for me to cut away and redo.


Here you can see the arm as that is probably the only part of this model complete atm. I still have a lot of work to do on the gun but it is moving along. When the gun is complete their will be a handle bar under the palm, and a butterfly trigger by the thumb as this seems the most practical way they would be able to shot these(be mindfull fluff wise they only carry 20 rounds).



As you can see I am having to resculpt body parts that I cut away and as such I needed to do the connecting parts between the armor. This was suprisingly easier then I though, and I knocked that out while watching NCIS LA . As well as more work on the gun.


Finally I cut deeper into the chest because instead of the plaques I wanted to do the ingrained texting on the armor. Though it really says nothing I think it is far better then before. I may redo the book a bit on the chest, but I may wait till the end to see how it all matches up.

Well there you have it I am not fast with this like others so updates will be slow but I am suprisingly intrigued with this progect so I will actually finish it. For those of you btw wondering what happened to lord Nelson well... he decided to take a bath in Simple Green yesterday, and will be restarted soon. The face was just really annoying me so I had to start over. This time I will start with the face directly.

An interesting start - do you have some reference art or a mock-up drawing of what you want the model to look like in terms of pose when finished? Would love to see it if you do...

it looks really good so far.
are you going to sculpt anymore detail on the chest piece?

Ok so a little more work has been done to this model, and I am happy about how he is comming along. I am more impressed that I haven't gone bonkers yet on this model so with that said here it is.

Looks really good so far!

Holy necropost Batman!
