LOL at the staticMichael Jackson pose.
I have already broken off all of the limbs and re-positioned the torso. He is looking better now, I will update when he is done.

Niiiiice! Where are the arms legs and torsos from btw?
DDDD hehehehehehhehehehe

It might save me a few bucks buying new terminator legs. It's at least worth a try. If it does not work I'll just buy some more legs!

I see what you're saying, its his toes that are the issue. cutting the legs might help a bit, but you might also have to fix his toes. Or do some creative basing.

I see you're already working on the model, so I'll wait patiently for the update!

Like the termies! Easy solution: have him stepping down/up a piece of scenery, that should fix the leg issue.

Where are those heads and shields from Mr poo?

Another Update

Thanks for everyone suggestions and help I think it helped a lot!

Hmmm I don't actually know!

Ok so before he was looking like this; as Rawson put quite nicely.




Anyway...

I fixed the toe stand problem with a bit of milliput, and here he is now...









Thanks again for all your help guys!

Creative basing saves the day! Woo hoo!!

Wait... did you cut the leg?

No cutting here! Just a tiny bit of milliput under the leg to stabilise it and then gluing the other foot flat. So easy I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier!

Awesome!

Easy fix. Nice work!

wow...cool termies...like how all the minis turned out at least...tho i have to ask you...will the faces be made metal or skin? for metal look they seem a bit too small, but then...is it allowed to have a full squad of termies with no full helmet armor? well of course rule of cool is totally on your side with these!

great work!

I really like those Termis!

Paint updates????
Peace

Ok everyone, I'm not dead I've just really distracted.

Thank you everyone for your last comments.

great work!

Thanks man, The helmets will be painted exactly like this. Except on Ultramarines not Lego.


Ok now for a small update!

The Sternguard Squad is around 60-75% painted. I tried assembly line painting with these guys but it didn't work.
I found myself spending more time on the details of one model and getting that model ahead of the others.

Anyway here they are.



I'll try to get them finished soon, but knowing all the holiday homework that I haven't even made a dent in these won't be finished any time near soon. I have less than a week of holiday left to do 2 weeks worth of home work. YAY!

Wish me luck!
I think I may have many sleepless nights ahead...

good to see you again mate! and ouch... well this seems to be a crapload of work ahead of ye... i cross my fingers for you to get that stuff sorted through!

so fully pinky faces then... i look forward to some tough looking termies!

cheers, vik

Thanks mate, I have already done my German homework which was actually quite easy. Now I have another 6 subjects to complete the homework for. Damn, I should have done it all earlier.

And no, the Termies will have not pinky faces but a darker tanned skin tone but yes I get what you meant

hehe^^

how big was your german homework? and what about?
and the rest of your homeowrks? how much work is there needed?

Hey man, awesome work!
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but it would be pretty cool to see a troop transport type vehicle in the form of a trojan horse... just to continue the theme

Hmmm... interesting! I might make a super heavy like that. but as of now I haven't got too much planned for my vehicles!

The German HW was nothing, just a 4 paged basic comprehension booklet. Which had stuff like Verb endings, Nouns and their genders, Different cases and causes.. Sentence types.. Stuff like that.

As for the rest of my Homework.

I have:
Three (YES THREE) Physics projects. All of which require around 1000 words worth of wrighting.
I had to read three 400 or so page books for English. I have read all of them twice within the first two weeks of getting them which was the easy part, but now I have to answer about 50 long answer questions for all of them.
I have to complete two different Maths booklets (about 20 pages each). I'm doing Specialist Maths and Maths Methods and my teachers weren't much help so it's confusing as crap.
And I wasn't given any history homework but I have assigned myself to read the whole text book.

Actually seeing this now it is not as much as I thought it was.

Maybe I actually can get some painting done...............NO IT"S STILL TOO MUCH COMPLETE DO IN 4 DAYS!


I'm Going to Bed now..

OMG... i can see why you had to use a kevin...i pitty you...

but you have to say... that trojan horse hasa a really nice ring to it...maybe use it rather as a dreadnought idea...

Just found this thread, love the whole spartan look of these, cant wait for an update on that terminator, lovely stuff!

Loving the Spartaaaaaans

I am back!

@Viktor von Domm- That trojan horse dreadnought idea does sound great.. Watch this space.

@J-paint & spudkins- Thanks for tuning in.

@Hmelrose- to you too!

Ok so I somehow managed to finish that home work, but as a reward I got even more Homework! YAY!

School has been killing me lately and I've hardly had any spare time. Which is sad considering I just bought a new airbrush.

Sorry for bury pics!

This bury pic makes for great NMM inspiration.


I have only just tested this out on a few bits and pieces but I can already see it is worth every cent.

Most of the work on the warhound below is done with an airbrush. I have just touched it up in a few places with a brush. Bear in mind it's still WIP.


Hopefully I'll have some more free time soon to experiment more with my airbrush.

Until then.

Ooh Diorama! Nice! What did you use for the rock? I know you've got the egg shells, but what are the larger pieces?

^Thanks Hmelrose! The larger rocks are pieces of Bark.

Really love the conversion work going on with your marines, and the diorama is going to be great from the looks of things.

Just a Quick Update

I'm finally starting to use the Spartan crests I bought from secret weapon a while ago.

I've added one to this Sternguard Sergeant. Sorry for the bad pics! I had to set up the camera really quickly.







That's all for now, I'm still bogged down by homework so don't expect an update soon.

Thanks for looking!

Oh, and If you haven't already checked this out please do.

Just a quick update...

I made a Counts as Pedro Kantor today.









I'm not 100% happy with the cape but I'll see how it looks painted up.

As you can see in the pics below he is slightly biggerised.


WIP pic.


Also today I picked up an item I won on ebay for $12.50.
A bargain?
I prettied him up a little too.


Hope you guys and gals like them.

Until next time...

very nice update! seems you have some time after all these homeworks again...

one thing i only now came to see on your earlier update... the spartan crest... when using that i would file off the default crest the marine comes with... now in the very close up version you see a spot where it looks a bit fishy...

the new minis look very good... the across crest looks good with the helm as is...

the scope of yon pedro is a bit much on the stormbolter for my liking, but that´s just personal preferrence i guess... the added armor and the sculpted cape look very cool!

your new aquired mini tho i have only one problem... maybe it is the angle but the boltpistol looks a bit to flimsy for this guy...i suspect it is an IG boltpistol?

anyways...welcome back^^
