OOOO me likey.

Question for you. Do you sell this lot?

Nice brickwork, hk. Bases look very nice.

Thanks guys .

@ Camkierhi: yes I do sell them, plus a few other terrain bits.
Here's a link to my eBay page: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/hk_terrain/m.html?item=281359912049&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

Hey hk, I'm thinking about purchasing your 100 brick set, and I'm just wondering, how does your resin compare to games workshop plastic?
I mean, I've heard that resin can be very crumbly, and can rub off on our fingers and things like that, so I was just wondering.

Hi mate! REALLY like that Nid Monster you have going on! Going to be truely terrifying!

And my second point..... DARN YOU.... for putting your page link there....... and on the day i get paid aswell........ got a weekend in Amsterdam coming up... but if there is any finds left over after that.... you sir... will be recieving my order!

Cheers,

Hi guys, sorry it's taken me so long to reply, just had a few real life things to sort out.

@ the shrouded lord: The Resin I use is very sturdy stuff, it actually cures harder than GW plastic, which is great when casting solid or thick pieces.
I tend to avoid casting extremely thin parts though as they can be a little more brittle, but anything over 2mm thick is usually fine.
I've also never had any crumbling or rubbing of with the resin I use, but that could be due to the type of resin, there are a lot of different types.


Haruspex update: The Haruspex is slowly starting to take shape now, with the mouth almost finished, and the basic shape of the Carapace (Minus the detail's) all sculpted out and sanded.
The leg section is also close to done, just have the toes to add plus a dozen or so spikes and claws.

Along with the finished leg section I've also decided to mold and cast up the carapace, as it took a while to build and might prove useful in future Nid projects.

Here's some progress pics below, plus a rough mock up using the Claws, head and carapace,
just to give an idea of what this thing might look like when finished.
At the moment though it reminds me of one of creatures from Dead Space, dragging itself across the floor .

Some seriously great greenstuff work here... That maw interior is amazing

"I think I can stay in here for forty days and forty nights"

Amazing work so far, I love seeing tyranids evolve

Great detail work, hk.
Loving the musculature about the mouth.

That last shot reminded me of this beastie from Parasite eve 2 as it hovers up everything in the room:

Work on the Haruspex has slowed down recently, while I continue work on my next big project.

It's something I've been designing and working on for a while, and when finished should hopefully
help speed up the building process on some of the large scale kit bash or scratch built models I'm planning on building.

I cant reveal too much about the project yet, but here's a pic of some WIP pieces.
Lets see if anyone can work out what their for .

Please Ignore the bad photo, In reality those pieces do have clean straight edges.

Giant erector set , or are those guides for placing rivets perfectly spaces each time.

The second piece from the left on the bottom is obviously a tank from the old game

the rest just looks like tetris :/

All I can see is a combination of tetris and Meccano. You will need some little plastic nuts and bolts to go with them.

@ Theophony: Nice idea about making a spacer for laying rivet's, I might look into that at some point,
unless someone else has beaten me to it .

@ DiDDe: True it does look like I'm building a plastic version of Tetris .

@ Dr H: Not so much Meccano, but there will be plastic nuts and bolts involved .

I don't know about everyone else. but for me that sais meccano all over it

That time is upon me again, when something new and shiny comes out that i'd really like to buy, build and paint.
But with shelves of expensive unfinished plastic surrounding me how can I justify another purchase.

So I've decided to make myself finish at least one of my more insane projects,
in order to make room for a new one.

The project I want finished (hopefully before Christmas) is my Necron Tesseract Vault.
And for those who haven't seen it, here's a link to the Thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/548632.page

I'll post occasional updates on here, but most of my progress and pics are on the Thread linked above.

To give you an idea of what I've done recently, here's my still WIP Canoptek Guardian, with the C'tan Nightbringer contained within.

That C'tan thing looks totally awesome. Hope to see more work on it soon.

Great stuff, looks amazing. Looks quite spikey too.

Love the plastic Meccano. You going to use these to support panels on buildings or tanks I guess?

Wow that is increadible

Really great stuff HK. I'm referencing your Monolith for the one I'm building. I'll keep checking back, keep up the great work.

Just to let everyone know that my Necron Tesseract Vault thread seems to be broken, at least for the moment.

If this post works then I'll Place any updates for the Tesseract project here,
until I can get it fixed.

Well it appears to be working

So here are those pics I promised.

Yea I can't see any updates on the previous thread ... :(

However these I can see and they look good

coming along nicely. Are the the styrene tubes for cables?

So spectacular, so awesome.

You're not the only one to have problems with the posts in a thread, so probably a DDakka server thing.

Vault parts look great. Love the posing on the broken droids necrons.

just too let you know man i think our other thread is ok now as the update is posted a couple of times hhhahh

Although I'm still working on the Tesseract vault conversion, I've also been planning my next big project,
which I will hopefully be building over Christmas.

It will be a large Diorama focused around the Undead Lord Nagash, showing his summoning and return to the old world (or at least my version of it).
I haven't yet got the new Nagash model, but will be picking one up some time in December.

What I have just received through the post however is a box full of Vampire Count sprues, including: 13 Skeleton Warriors, 17 Grave Guard,
17 Ghouls, 20 Dire Wolves, 2 Metal Varghulfs, 2 Corpse Cart's, and a partridge in a pear tree .

All that lot will form my bits box for the project, and should be more than enough to help me detail the scene.

Can't wait to see this

As you'll see from the pics below Nagash: The supreme lord of the Undead has arrived on my doorstep,
which means I can now start work on my Rising of Nagash Diorama.

The Diorama will take place in an old forgotten fortress ruin high in the mountains,
and show the dark ritual that summons Nagash back to the old world for the End Times.

This will be another long term project for me, as I am still working to finish my Tesseract Vault Conversion: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/548632.page
So progress update's might be a little random, but they will be here .

So Today I received a large block of foam in the post, and after 20 minutes of muttering to myself (my version of careful planning)
I grabbed some tools and started working.

Several hours, and a considerable amount of mess later, I have the basic shape of my mountain top all carved out.
It currently stands over a foot high and one and a half feet long, and I have no idea where its going to live when it's finished .
