Some cool stuff, the vehicles are great, the wave serpent, the predator and the mechanic! The circuitry on the wave serpent looks good.

Thanks OMN.

Thanks for the comment Calibanite Lion. Glad you see so much you like.
The circuitry was as an alternative to the Wave Serpent spines.

This is another member of my army; Jet bike (comparable to a Reaver).


Thanks.

This is my latest set of models to be up for sale.

I received these from my friend to fix up and paint before selling them on.
They needed to have their arms, a lot of excess glue, and all the mould lines and sprue tags removed before I re-built them and painted them.

Due to a lot of surface damage already on them, I decided to paint them with (and add some more) battle damage.

The bases are scratch-built.

The arms were re-posed (I couldn't really do anything about their legs or waists due to time constraints) and I made a light/camera fixture for the Assault cannon bearer.

You can find them on ebay now.

Blood Angels "Rescue" Terminators (the most veteran of veterans; hence the gold helmets ):

These are a couple of commission pieces made a prizes for my round of the LoER terrain contest.

The first is a trench diorama.
28mm scale on a 60mm base.


The second (which was for 1st place) is a bell tower for use with the Batman miniatures game.
32mm scale on a 120mm base.






You can see how these were built over in my making money with modelling thread.

This is a wooden hut; built as an example of what can be created (with a little extra modelling) from my hut kits.






Information about the hut kits can be found here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/780/549077.page#7947288

Late to the party, but that tank is great...nice late war panzer 4 feel to the model. The scenery is great as well.

Thanks Fisher001. Never too late to party around here, and comments are always welcome.

Well done on finishing the building, it looks awesome.

I can't help but feel the metal container on the side of the building could do with a bit of oxidation or at least dust or grime, I know you have done some on the top, but it could do with a bit on the sides, maybe some streaking. a slanted roof might indicate a not too arid climate.

still a fantastic build that I really enjoyed following in your blog

The interior is great, especially the baths.

Awesome work bro! Why is there an ork and a tyranid in the predator?

Thanks OMN.
I wanted to keep the outside tank as aluminium (just for a change to all the rusty steel that we see in models, and it is actually made of aluminium), and as such it wouldn't oxidise (actually, the surface of aluminium is a layer of the oxide, but it's so tough a layer that the metal doesn't corrode like Iron does) has had washes of black and the supports were painted as steel with "rust" washes, but being actually metal very little stuck to the tank (and would probably wear off if I painted more on and then look odd).

True on the roof. Maybe we could say that there are many dust storms and you don't want that building up on the roof either...

Thanks for the feedback.

Ah well, that is due to my "army's" fluff (treating the term "army" in the loosest possible way). You can read more about it in my (Mad) Scientist thread, or my fluff thread (see my signature below for links), but the short version is a mad scientist brainwashing and reanimating the dead bodies of all the races to create a truly chaotic army that will fight against the spread of order in the universe...

In reality, that is just an excuse for me to do what I like with the models I have.

Thanks.

Great scenery... Very Oldhammer, may have to copy these for my Rogue Trader armies!

Thanks P.
That's been said many times about my models, and I didn't even collect these type of models back then. I see it as a big compliment.

Beautiful stuff, Dr H. As always.

Good stuff! Lots of character and creativity. It must be a blast to play against on the game table.

Thanks 'boss.

Thanks FoxPhoenix135. I hope it will be (fun to play), I haven't actually got around to playing the game yet, too busy building the army (and doing commission builds).

This is an objective marker I made to make use of the marine-in-a-bag that was originally going to go on my Predator tank (but there was not enough space).

Supplies for my army.

That jetbike is one of the most dynamic models I've seen of that type. The supplies are also wonderfully detailed!

Squint and I could swear those interior shots of the bell tower with the light pouring in through the windows were taking in an actual building

Amazing work, what a wonderful detail. I really liked watching the models and terrain you made (especially the later) and look forward to more.

Thanks Kestral. Only problem with the jet bike is that I have to match (or better) it with all future bikes...

Thanks Niatona. Yep, that was the idea. While taking wip shots I found that that kind of lighting was pretty cool, so had to do it for the final photos.

Thanks Singleton Mosby. Glad you enjoy my work. There will always be more to do.

I totally concur with this statement. Your stuff is always an inspiration, Doc.

Thanks 'boss. Always nice to hear such things.

Something a bit different this time (this is the "random things I do with plastic" after all), a 1:48 scale model from Airfix.
This is a Westland Lynx HMA8 in it's folded configuration.
I made a few minor additions to the kit, but this is largely unaltered.




Thanks.

That Lynx looks fantastic, well done for completing that to such a high standard.

Thanks OMN, next to my earlier model kits this really shows me how far I have come.

This model was salvaged from a Tau Firewarrior that I acquired covered in a thick layer of paint and solidly glued together.
As I only had the single model to work with, and intended to sell him, there was little point in just painting him nicely as who is going to buy a single Firewarrior?! However, a single Ethereal is worth doing.

Without changing the base model (keeping all attached limbs etc.) I added some robes and a naginata-like weapon, and added a lick of paint... one Ethereal.



Thanks.

I think the closest I got to paint on my earlier model kits was glue, lots of glue!

Very nice Ethereal, really nice painting on the cape and the face looks exceptional.

Ah well, my models got more paint than that.
But they only got the paint that was noted in the instructions. no shading, highlighting, blending, weathering, etc. If something was labelled "Dark gull grey" or whatever, that's all it got. The lynx got the full works.

Thanks OMN. Nice to hear.

My latest creation has taken some time and produced many challenges.

But here we are, a City on a CD.
Why? Just because.









Thanks.
