Wow so many great conversions
Can't appreciate enough on how many people have taken the effort to show thei examples
I have started work on the front plate. I will take photos tonight.
Anybody used guitar string?
Also, do I need to use water with green stuff. At GW they use vaseline

I will have to come up with a backstory and write some fluff.
I'm very inspired and motivared to this project.
I have till the 24th of december to fully finish and paint

I will show photos and edit frequently to show my progress
Thank you so much for your help, ideas and examples.
Keep it coming

It may be a good idea to move this thread to PM logs as this will be an ongoing project. Thanks admins

I use guitar string all the time ...very useful for conversions. It doesn't bend as gracefully as you would think though, only very gradual bends will work really. I just recently used some to make lightning claw arms for assault marines.

For greenstuff... you can use water but you have to keep wetting your fingers/tools very frequently, vaseline is better. Believe it or not though - the absolute best thing to use is KY-Jelly... it's a 'water-based' lubricant and works like vaseline. Heh I've actually tried Astro-glide and it's alright, but it dries too fast on the greenstuff, KY is the best.

Here is the model so far.

Nice start.

Needs some tube/pipey bitz on the sarcophagus. I think some GS should do the trick.

Looks like you're off to a good start man. I'm working on a project converting BR dreads (in the P&M gallery if you're interested in checking it out for ideas) myself so I'll definitely be checking in every once in a while to see what you're coming up with. : )

I don't know if it's possible, because I haven't cut up my dreads much, but could the body lean a little more forward? It might just be the angle, but it almost looks like he's about to fall over. Love where you're going with the pose though. It's awesome how just one little bit of dynamic posing adds so much to the look of a model.

That thing needs some guitar wire to run to the "backpack" area as tubing.

I think this pose would be very fitting if it had 2 gun arms esp. double MLs

I'd say if he'd do any double guns, it should be a double autocannon Mortis.

wozzat? Conversions of the AOBR dready? KK here's mine

LOL, I was at your thread seconds ago.

lol i know stalker
