I think it's amazing so far. I'm gonna have to agree with Corpse on this one. I don't care for the sword, maybe I'll come around once a more refined version of it is done.

**Beork**

Slow and steady wins the race (well, not the race maybe, but at least something).
Minor update, have been putting a rim on the greave:

And an edge on the sword, also added some wire.

I have been thinking about the sword a lot and trying out some things. As there will be a partial covering exposing internal stuff, it would be hell to paint. So I had some ideas I liked and some I discarded. Just when I finally had an idea (the original, how ironic) that I liked and thought would work, it seperated into two ideas.
Either put the covering on like this:

or like this:

The client will have to choose. I don't know which I like best.
Internal mechanisms still have to be added of course, I want to have the covering fitted on one side before attempting to add the guts.

Ideas?

Either way this is coming on absolutely brilliant good luck with the detail.

**Werdes**

The 2nd one is my vote

And this will be one unique captain!

**person person**

This is gonna look awesome!!

As for the sword, which ever shows the most worky bitz

**Beork**

Been a while, some small revisions on the legs and sword:

Sword internals are being added:

There might yet come more tubes in the lower middle part, but I'll glue these first to see how they look.

Really small start on the powerfirst:

I removed parts of the fingers to add open cables, which are badly visible as I only had the gauge I wanted in transparent. There wil be more open details and mechanics soon.
Also a stormbolter.

And the legs, both rimmed now and the right with added wires and stuff to show it's bionic nature.

Rivets are to be added yet, and the rim on the left leg is going to be shaved a bit a sit's a tad thick now.

This is Awesome, I especially like the Power-Chain-Sword.

**person person**

Looks amazing, love the bionic leg

**Beork**

It lives! It walks!

Rivets are done on the plates, maybe I'll a a few smaller ones at strategic locations on the legs.
No I just need to GS some ribbing, add the armoured skirt and knee plates, pin/magnet the feet and devise some sort of detail for the left plate.
Oh, and the right plate is getting some cogweel stuff in a bit.

He is a tad larger than normal marines, not much, just a head or so, mostly because of the straightening.

And someone, somewhere asked for a size shot of the sword:

Yes, it's large, no he doesn't have size issues. Complain about compensation when he sticks it down your throat.

I redid the torso, this time using plastic strips instead of filing a way chaos icon. It makes for a smoother finish.
Now just to add some vents and other nice details.

**Sadetta131**

that's awesome man. nice conversion especially the sword.

**jamessearle0**

haha, did anyone spot the origion pic of the sword was from advent children?? great work man keep it up

**Lasfiredoesn'thurt**

This looks awesome, I wasn't taken on the bionic eye at first but you seem to be making it work very well. The spaced out leg armor looks sweet and the sword will probably look awesome once you've finished it. Keep up the work, I'll be checking in often

**person person**

EPIC...

**speedfreak**

That is amazing! The helmets look great.

**ShawnSum**

Cant wait to see it all done!!

**Werdes**

the sword looks a bit large but everything else is awesome

**Beork**

Considering that the right arm should be bionic, and that it will be magnetised, I wanted to add a distinguishing feature which would also make it easier for me to hide the magnet socket.
Thinking back on one of my older models, I came up with this.

the necklace part is not yet glued, not sure about that yet.
Beork

**Goliath**

Isn't that the Right Arm?

**Beork**

Left, right, same difference

I was thinking in reverse... Now to change it in all those fora.

Thanks for the heads up

Beork

**JD21290**

This is starting to look fething wicked now

The sword is by no means oversized

**person person**

COG-TRIM FTW!!!

**Werdes**

nice torso

**Beork**

The new version of the sword is awaiting production. I made a vector image of some seperate parts and they will (hopefully) be milled this week.

I did a small mock-up of the combibolter fist:

I think it's a bit too beefy.
I saw a multibarreled powersfist bolter a while back and liked the design a lot, so I think I'm going to make a small mock-up of one of those.

I also have a pose picture.
Not much more done yet, very busy with my new (and very demanding) job.

He is mean looking now isn't he?

The arm is pointing a bit too far away from the body in my liking, but I'll fix that soon.
The greaves look very small and fat in this picture, while they aren't that bad at all. I'll take some new pics once I'm a bit further with the pointy arm.
Tubes to be added soon.

**Death Gear**

Awsome.

**madmen**

I really like the combi-bolter fist idea, thats the first time I've seen it. Would be great for a terminator conversion too.

**ZeinEizoku**

I really do not know what to say to this, it looks just so amazing. I would love to crack open your skull and eat all of your talent man XD.... Sorry... that was Khorne coming out <_<'

I love the conversions and I love your statement

I like how you went about building the Sword as well. I have been bouncing around ideas for my, Brothers of the Flying Sword you have really helped me out ^__^

I cannot wait to see more on this. I would also like to ask, what thickness of plasticard do you use and how do you get it to bend so easily? Is it because of how thin it is or do you heat it very slowly, or do you just Super glue it and let by-gones-be-by-gones lol

**Beork**

the thickness of the 'card for most detail work is 0,3mm, I sometimes pre-bend it using a thin round rod (like the handle of needle files). I also use plastic glue most of the time instead of superglue. It gives you a bit more leeway in placing the bits.

**Jimsolo**

This is dynamite. Truly. I love conversion work, and this is some super stuff. Also, I dont care what anyone else says, that sword is the business. I was worried when I read the initial posts that it was going to be too big, that the combo chain/power sword would look weak. But I love it. I love it. Your customer is going to be very satisfied. (Assuming I have an accurate idea of the value of 70 euros. ((Euroes?)) Which I may not) But, all that aside, I really like this piece.

**swbruni**

Nice work..leg looks great and works well with the figure.

**Khornholio**

You're conversion skills are great. I love the pose. The springs for the bionics looks amazing. Keep up the great work.
