So, I haven't done anything more with the Nob yet. I've been busy with my commissar, and Cyber-Grot for Waaagh Dakka:




Talk about a fun project though! I've really enjoyed working on this little guy. Just a bit more GS work, and adding some wire and gubbins, and he should be ready to paint!

He looks freakin fantastic! I love it! Maybe seeing this cool guy of yours is the push I need to get me to do a DakkaOrk.. What are those white bits you're using to mod him? Is that backpack from a lighter?

Yes! Do one! It's a blast!

The body is made from a plastic bag zipper, it cmae off a plastic school bag thing. The other white bits are styrene rods and tubes from a hobby shop. And yes, the backpack "generator" is the striker wheel from a lighter I found smashed apart in the mall parking lot!

I've added wires and stuff coming out of the generator to power the various mek bits. And after some GS work to various parts of him, I'll get some paint on.

Have fun making your cyber-grot!

Haha, great use of the sandwich bag zipper! And maybe I'll need to look around ad getting some piston things like that. I disassemble a lot of things to use as scraps for my conversions, but I don't see many parts like that. And yeah, I pick up all sorts of "garbage" off the ground to use later. A little soap and they are ready to use!

Hmmm, soap. I'll have to remember that next time!

Wow, RSJ. Those are rad conversions. The sculpted teef came out great, and I like the home made PK and Kombi-scorcha.

Thanks! I have big plans for the Boss. I want to remove the gun and the dread legs, and sculpt gigantic arms and legs! I'll have to sculpt a new head too, as the giant arms and legs will make the head look too small. Then I will attach the gun on the arm like a Grey Knight, and give him a HUGE Power Klaw! It looks good in my mind at least. But all that will have to wait awhile until I get some of my other projects out of the way. I'm mostly putting this on here to remind myself of what I want to do.

That grot is wicked!!! nice details

Thanks! More deatils have been added, and more to come. Should be done soon, then painting.

When it comes to heat stained gun/flamer barrels, I saw something about it here a while back: http://fromthewarp.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-paint-heat-stained-gun-barrels.html
Maybe you have seen it before but if not it might be helpful

Good work!!
