Fantastic. Kudos.

Great job on the ghosts and their base indeed.

Contest piece is nice also.

Really great piece Cam. Electrical effects are excellent and I just love the interior.

I'm always impressed when I see people building really cool terrains/vehicles with a sheet of paper, two screws and a box of toothpicks.
I can't.
I'm jealous.

Great work.

Really nice terrain Cam.

Nice work, Cam!

That is a really fantastic piece of terrain!

Awesome detail work, as always .

Those ghosts are properly scary
Really good sculpt.
And the power station is genius in itself
I really like the electrical effects.

Thanks all, really appreciate the feedback. Keeps me going.

So couple things going to be happening here soon, first ....well will come to that in a sec, the other is I have an idea for LoER comp, and it will be happening here, just shortly.

Right back to first.....Spurred on by my baffling 2nd place in Nerdy's comp, I have decided to join in this Dakka painting challenge thingy. The competition is really tough, scary stuff. But hey got to have a go so....

This month is Space Marines.

Well I fancy the idea of messing about with Space Hulk. and I have been making a board in the background, I know there are some great models out there, but I have my own ideas of what should be going on so here we go...

A terminator properly scaled and kitted out for close quarter fighting in dark and dingy corridors of hell. But all I got is some AOB models....



Thats not what I want.....lets sort that out right now.....

My gods its a masacre!

Well here we go, trying to make it short and sweet, the aim is eventually to have a squad, but it will be different, more like the best of the best sent in to clear out the xeno scum, so will not be the traditional squad of termies, but instead a mix match of guys. Probably upsetting a bunch of people with the very idea of it, but hope you stick around. For now, I will be doing one Termie for the comp, depends on how I get on I might do more.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Update already, probably auto do da but hey....

Basic structure glued up, Arms still move about and magnetized the waist...

And just to see how he compares...

Lots of details to add.

Thoughts appreciated.

I like the repose, definatly an improvement imho, the left leg might benefit from some green stuff to extend the armour back over the ankle as it looks a little exposed compared to the other leg but that's just my opinion.

That's a very dynamic terminator. He looks much more imposing now that his legs aren't splayed out to the side.

Excellent. Such a good idea to make those termies look more dynamic.

He does look a little bit like he's dancing too, which makes it all the better.

EDC

There's an art into upcycling AOBR kits...
Definitely watching this with more than moderate interest
The thing is, I haven't traveled that road yet out of fear to not be able to put everything together later on...the list of chopped up parts gives me the willies...

I love seeing these rescaled space marines, and although it's only a little taller than the original, I think it makes all the difference.

Really interested to see where you go with this concept, especially with the space hulk idea.

Yeah, the Space Hulk idea is just cool - we all remember our feelings when we watched Alien for the first time - dark and dank corridors, narrow, no way to turn around...and never knowing where the beast lurks...
Ah, the chills

Well your reposing of the Termie is excellent. Very dynamic!
I agree with Alaricuk about the left legs lower armor.

Excellent re-pose Cam. Interesting what you can accomplish by dissecting and re-arranging the legs and arms isn't it?

Nice reposing!

I will admit, when I saw these guys:

I thought of that skit from SNL with Hans and Frans. "We're going to pump *clap* YOU up!
(for those who have no idea what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-GLO_PydqU)

Pump you full of bolter shells more likely.

Looks good to me. Keep it up, Cam.

If there is one model that needs reposing it's the basic Terminator.

Good job.

WOW thank you guys, LOL I plan on doing a bit of OSL but now thinking disco lights!

We can rebuild him.....

Bits, lots of bits...

So bunch of shots, before I break him down to paint.....So you can see parts etc...







This is definately not the final cut, but a fiddle in that general direction, couple bits I am not sure on, and I have to add a ammo belt feed from his hip mounted ammo pack to the storm bolter. Was going for a bulkier upper look whilst maintaining the idea of nothing sticking up too high to catch on overhead cables and pipes in those tight quarters.

Questions comments and critique please...

Excellent!

Sheer excellence. Loveing the tower, great step by step guide to using what's left to achieve more. Hats off to you sir. Very nice job done indeed.

Just realised that the tower is on page one of your blog, not sure what happened there, my iPad threw a wobbler!!

Still good work though

hip mounted amo is a nice idea.... the stance looks like he is peeking around a corner...

That's a big knife...

Great dynamic termi Cam

Thank you all.

@ Gits Thank you sir.
@ Alaricuk Thank you seems like a long time ago now. I ought to revisit that concept.
@ Vik Thanks bud, and yeah swinging round was what I was going for.
@ Josh, well normal ones look so puny on a termie.
@ Joe Thank you sir.

So splashed a little paint around, this is still very early wip, but please feel free to comment.






Bit of a homage to the old 1st edition box cover of Space Hulk, Not truly accurate, but Cam'd.

As always please feel free to comment, all good, even if it is bad.

O.K. Stop painting so fast. Kidding aside, something I've recently learned about my own camera may be helpful to you. Adjusting the exposure value seems to be doing wonders for me. Oddly, enough I increase it for white backgrounds, even though one would think that the opposite. You could try playing around with the values, since some of your photos look underlit/under-exposed. Another thing that seems to be helping me is to put the backdrop farther away from the mini.

How does he get anything into or out of the pouches while wearing a power fist?????

He looks great by the way, very dynamic, which i think the model sadly lacks from stock.

Such is the fate of terminators who forget to bring a storm shield to battle.
