Great stuff, I really love what you did with the Halo. As per the skulls I would ask the person who would be carrying it what they thought as personally I would go for detail on something like this over weight, but then again that is just me.

I just found this thread, and I can honestly say I am sorry I did not find out about it sooner.

This is really inspiring stuff man, wicked cool.

YAY an update, and it's looking as awesome as ever

i would love some super detailed post on airsoft bolter constuction i have the same pos gun laying around here an was pondering turning it into a bolter

This blog has been some of the coolest stuff I've seen on this site. Keep up the awesome work!

Well, I have been terribly uninspired on working on projects these last few weeks.
I have things I need to make and 2 costumes I must to finish for Dragon*con

I just need to work up the motivation to get my ass in gear. Well I started.

Here are two very early WIP pieces.

1st is a Inquisitor's pistol based on this image. I like the look and vibe of an gothic/vintage laspistol/ artisan weapon.


Here is an early concept of what I'm looking to do.


Note the skull and eagle details. I knew these things would come in handy.


Next up is an Inquisitor's Hammer...




I think I will be rebuilding head..seems to short to me. maybe if I build up the ends somemore...

C&C always welcome.

Wow, this stuff is absolutely phenomenal! DIY stuff is one part of what makes the Warhammer community so great. Keep ti up!

I think the problem with the hammer might be scaling, Like a bulkier haft would make it look better?

Agreed

Finnlock, I would say that if you heftied up the shaft a bit, and made the head longer/wider (depending how you look at it ) Basically making it more to the proportions of a 'T', then I think it would look a lot better. =]

Here's my thought on the haft of the hammer - I don't think it's necessarily the thickness that's the issue. I think the bigger problem is that it just looks like PVC pipe. I don't mean that in a perjorative way, as I know you (of all people) can decorate it up just fine. But it looks like it's purpose is to be a pipe. Think of the handle of a common wood axe. Even without the head, it is recognizable as an axe handle. What can you do to the haft to make it recognizable as the handle of a weapon even without having the head of the weapon on there? I'm sure you already do this, but what details are there on historical warhammers that you can translate to this?

As i always say. AMAZING

You sir, have truely amazing skills, I look forward to seeing your (and your wonderful lady's) latest adventures.

Me too!

This is a bad time of year for me, working in retail is hell the last two months of the year.

I feel your pain. I've worked a lot of decembers selling GWproducts and videogames. The general feeling is that I'm helping Santa hold down the baby Jesus so Mammon can sodomise him properly.

It destroys your soul :-/

Interesting new pistol. Sort of a home brew lasgun? I like where it's going.

The hammer looks pretty sweet too. The head is a bit tall for my liking, but once you add some details, build out the front and back, it should look good I think.

The shaft just needs some texture, from what I remember of the GW power hammers and ancient warhammers. The ancient ones always seemed kinda boring to me, much more like just a big hammer... with some spikes sometimes.

Oh and, I feel your pain. Retail is ridiculous.

Weird, thats almost identical to a laslock sketch I made. It uh...for the record...uh...kinda might need a thumb tongue on the hammer though. You know...so you can pull it back.

I was going through my photos and realized I never posted any pics of the changes I made to the Laspistol with holster I was making. I did this as a test around the time I was painting the Bolter for the SoB armor.

Old paint




It's mostly a paint scheme change with a few other touches. Still not 100% done, and as I look at it I can think of some changes I'd like to make...

Anyway, here are some of the updated pic's

New paint

Very nice.

If I have a criticism its that the MORTIS scroll thing looks a little too white and clean.

I saw shots of the SoB costume you did with the ork. Nice to have found you. Superb work there!!

The white is definitely too clean. But also I think the font is a bit too random. Maybe if it was more like classic calligraphy? No idea if that is in your wide repertoir of abilities or not. =p

Hurray more stuff to look forward too

Minor update...this time of year sucks for me to work on anything because my time is very limmited.

Anyway,I found a handle that works so I did a quick carbaord mock up of how I think I want the shape of this gun to be.. Thoughs?



With a ruler to show scale..

If you were to ever sell this stuff, I think it would be worshipped.

I think maby Have the power cell extruding a *little* bit more

Great updates. Awesome quality work as always. Keep up the good work!

That costume and those weapons - wow, just wow.

I don't know that there's anything I can add that hasn't been said already, but massive kudos to you. This is the single coolest fan project I have ever seen.

Amazing.

Changed the angle of the grip, looks better I think...
