A commissioned Deathjack conversion I'm working on right now, still fairly early WIP. Gave me a Deathjack, two Machine Wraith bodies, said he wanted the wraiths as arms, and then to otherwise make it look cool. Those are the kind instructions I really like from a client!

Looking good so far.

Quick update. Got the upper half attached to the lower half. Filled in a bunch of the space with hot glue to sculpt over, and started filling in the gaps on the lower wires.

Redid the one arm by popular demand.

This is awesome! Wish I saw this before I built mine. I had to build my DJ in the car on the way to a tournament

Looks great. Will be following this.

Finished up the skirt portion and done some initial works on the wrists. Next need to blend the skirt into some sleeves around the armpits.

That would creep me out sitting in my bedroom.
I love the way the arms don't just raise but they sort of swing around like he has no control over the things.

Oh, this is awesome.

The sculpting is nice.

The sleeves were a pain in the arse. Trying to get it where I can sculpt them on, but still have the arms removable. Finally got something worth updating with though. The first sleeve close up is the one I just did tonight. The second is one I sculpted last week and then tonight cleaned up with a dremel and knife to sharpen up the edges and lines. I'll do the same to the other when it's had time to cure. Still looking for something to make a nice head since I can't find my old Machine Wraith heads, and I've got a new idea to do different Skulls of Hate that could be cool if I can find some skulls I like for it.

I think the robes are pretty much done being sculpted. After everything is all set and hardened I want to take a knife around the edges and clean them up and sharpen the hems up nicely. I need to get around to picking up a new pack of guitar string so I can finish up all the extra details I still want to do yet.

Last update for this week, just to show off the head. It's awesome in it's tiny absurdity.

Was hoping to finish this this week, but I had issues getting the guitar string for the wires. Finally picked some up in time for my last work night of the week and got some done on it. I Should have this all finished by this time next week and ready to pass off to the painter.

Whoa. That is fething awesome

Alright, all finished up. Used an entire guitar string for all of that wiring. Souls are from Malice. Bit of extra chain. I'll give this to the painter on Wednesday, and it'll likely take him a couple weeks to get it done due to the size (which i'm showing off by putting it next to my own Deathjack).

You need to put this in the conversion thread. This is amazing.

Looks outstanding. I like the gold chain you put on the model... it mas the model more unique.
