and heres the start of the fur green stuffing





the fur went well on the draganovs i was quiet pleased, but on one or two of them the fur was not so good as i wanted it to be but oh well!!


i added a bit of fur to my tech priest !!


and some more pics

fur addition looks very good!

as for the wood... for me... a good way would be:

thy to get an uneven surface first... maybe scratch the surface or rough it up by sandingpaper or heck you could do it like me... i added on my boiler some PVA coates and before completly drying brushed over that with a brush and crested thus some finer lines... after that basecoated with dehneb stone...and then i added a thick layer of devlan mud till you get a nice and uneven wooden color...





hope i could help...this methode is of course easier to be done on bigger scale surfaces but i think with a bit of thinking and carful painting this might work on your stocks too...

cheers, vik

Awesome rifles! Perfect size!
@ Vik...WTF? Weapons too big for 40k??? You must be feverish with your cold. If you start saying such nonsense as "that thing has too many rivets" then I'll call the ambulance for you!

and some updates of the barret 50.cal ratlings ...which arnt really ratlings

in the fullness of time i have planned a buy/theft for these dragunovs too... they look really cool...

at dave... mea culpa... i see i have strayed from the path... may the rivets be with me...

Hey guys, today on a trip to pick up hay for the chickens we got i came across a bottle of simple green and had to pick it up, but the instructions are very confusing if any of you have used simple green to strip models/tanks could you please lend a hand with some intructions or measurements

Cheers

It all depends on the size of the bottle and type of simple green you purchased as well as the model/s you're trying to strip.

If its concentrated, then you can add water to dilute it a bit, but not too much. Like 70/30.

First the model, then you'll need the container for holding the simple green + model. The container will tell you how much solution you need. Then you'll wait a week or two.

Cheers mate

Thank you! That means a lot coming from someone as skilled in the hobby as you are.

cool sandbag barrier there...any other reason you cut off the stocks than the posing?

@hmelrose - the are really good and the painting scheme goes well , and the conversions especially with the weapons are smashing !!!

@Vik i would of loved to keep the stooks except the lenght of them were just a bit to big for guard arms :9 so i had to cut them down which was really unfortunate :(

But today i picked up a halftrack from my local game store which being the first of their versions of it came with two sprues with mg42s and kar98s i am most pleased

uhhh... that sounds very good^^

And i return with more work done to my vostroyans and i finished my halftrack and after some work mounted a quad auto cannon from the ageis defence line





construction progress



The finished product

and basing for the painted ak squad of vets






and after working out the right mix of simple green, ive managed to strip most of the paint off the basilisk


i am most pleased

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL



and on this day ...i received a valkryie most please good sirs, most pleased

cool... to both... the new valk and the stripped basilisk!


merry christams mate!

Alas i return

with moar pictures and stuff

after some hard work scrubing my basilisk it is paint worthy and at it i went

this phots a bit old its got its rivets painted gold as always and the armoured crew comp is painted


and with the vandetta i built deep into the night on the night after christmas eve untill after completion i realised i was one lascannon short ...hopefully i will pic it up from one of my mates soon





after having problems with balancing issise with my first valk i put something heavy in the nose





and my brother decidced to give my little brother a baneblade *shakes hand high * so i had to build it for him ...alas it is a beautiful tank
but working out the tracks and the track mounts drove me mad for a bit



and then either because its a awesome tank or because i was envious i bought my own ...






i have magnatised this so i can change it back to a storm lord im just having trouble getting the crew served hvy stubbers to stay on ........

Dood! That is EXACTLY how I did my Valk lascannons! With magnets GMTA

lol... that is quite a heavy armed family with two banebaldes/shadowswords in the family!

basilisk is looking promising and the new tanks... well i am eager to see some paint on them^^

the baneblade is one of the few tanks that comes with enough rivets as is...^^ and that is saying a lot from me^^


happy new year mate!

Looks awesome!

hello mate! that has been quite some time since your last update!

your cyborg servitors conversion look very promising...something i till follow closley, some day i have to come up with a solution to the whole techpriest issue myself too and i am atm not willing to chuck too much €s around for three or for minis...

i have to say that the last pics of your conversions regarding the mix of pistoliers and adian/catachans are looking atm a bit akward to me...are you planning to add fur like you did on the others? that could help tie in the big differencies of some arms...the one conversion of laspistol and flintlock looks sorry...i have to say it...terrible...the handle of the pistol and then the main body of the lasgun...for me it is not working...i´d rather used the pistol and had added some wires and stuff maybe a powercell and call it an old laspistol...


hope i didn´t ruin you something there... i just say this as i think you have done so well with all your other conversions...specially now that i had to rescroll through the recent posts of yours and saw that vetsquad painted with all those AK rifles...very cool looking bunch!


cheers, vik

@vik No thank you , thats why i joined dakka and posted up here so i could get valued criticism and input, and after a bit of looking at his left hand i agree the laspistol doesnt mix , and yes he will be fur-i-fied just once i find my green stuff i misplaced last night after working late into the night finishing my servitors

heres my second one
front

and back


the wires are actually the staples that held the plastic blister together that the arms and legs came in

and even added servitory bits ...



and the others



and even a bit of bioshockieness servitor





and they dual tool servitor







more to come soon

Man this is nothing but cool!

mate! this prooves to me just one thing... the IoM is just absolutly not into respect for their inhabitants... tho cool looking that your servitors are...they send shivers down my spine...ouch...that must´ve hurt wquite a lot to get transformed like that...

and yep...that searchlight is one heck of a versatile bit!

looking forward to more GS work^^
