Not to fond of the sternguard legs =/ makes the marines look like sentinels or something, I imagined the iron hands to be more subltle with thier bionics.

The GS hands look awesome! Exactly what the dread needed, and I like the studded pads too

Very cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing more.

small update:

did some work on my MOTF and finished another stern guard. I also added some bits to the other two, just so they fit the army a little more.

the MOTF is all scratch built.

The legs aren't done yet, they are just the plain termi legs. The torso also will have a crap load more done to it. the head is done, and the plasma cutter is done.






Also, I'm not sure how I'm going to do my commander's head... this guy is so cool looking (IMO)

Absolutely awesome. How do you do rivets, btw??

Thanks! I do rivets 1 of 2 ways. The first is by cutting a .030" diameter rod into very small pieces with an exacto. These are then glued on with rubber cement (or super glue if on metal) using the end of moist exacto the place it (the water creates hydrogen bonds between the rivet and the knife blade, holding it there).

The second way is the same as the first method, only I punch out a rivet from plasticard using a 1/16" diameter punch. This is then place first, with the smaller rivet glued on top.

Thanks, thats really helpful. You may have just inspired me to do an iron hands and admech combined force. Inspirational!!!

I'm excited to see them if they look like you described! I will let you know as soon as your bits get here, as well.

Well the faces will be like the borg.

Nice stuff

Looks good!

Sorry it's so long between posts- this week has been hectic and finger injuries from converting stopped me from picking up my tools for a bit.

I'll show some of the recent work soon, hopefully tonight.

Also! I ordered an airbrush. Time to put all those fun techniques I learned to use...

quality like yours takes time, we look forward to seeing them when their ready

As promised, a little update:

The army is stunning... really nice work!

fantastic conversions all around, the cogs are really fantastic conversion materials!

The MOF with the power lifter arms is my fav!

F*** that guy is awesome

Yeah, no kidding. You do some exceptionel work! That army should turn out quite nicely

god. Klause you kick when it comes to these things. keep it up.

Where did you get the etched brass cogs from?

Klaus I have SELDOME if more NEVER said this but my jaw literally dropped when I saw that utterly astonishing and amazing iron father...sniff sniff. This are would do ANY gamer proud and my hats off to you for it.

I also love the MOTF. Of course now that I've stared at him for hours while working (and have suffered several small injuries at his expense) he's far less cool looking to me. The cogs are really awesome- earlier in the thread I think I posted a link to where I got them.

Glad to hear it! I'm starting work on Varkuul, their Clan Leader, now. He's a stand in for Vulkan He'Stan with lots of mechanical goodness.

I hope so! There's a lot more work to be done- luckily the painting should go a little faster with the airbrush I ordered.

Will do

The etched brass cogs were donations from the freebootaz over at the 40k Radio forums. Originally they came with the GW basing kits.

I'm very impressed with your work so far, it's beyond anything I could have done or imagined. I'm really looking foward to seeing your army all painted up!

Makes me wanna buy that space marine sprue of 3 and get to work!

Also, I really get the impression that your Marines could move by themselves with these elaborate gears, like something out of a Koo-Koo Clock.

Do it! You never know what kind of conversions you are capable of until you really go for it.

It's the detail and the care you put into your work! simple and fantastic!

Awesome dude. Just awesome.

This man is spot on.
You should do a steam punk warhound. THAT would be awesome.

Outstandingly good work on the MOTF, he looks fantastic!



Do you do commisions?

I've been considering it- I currently work as a freelance artist doing illustrations and concept art, but I might be interested in doing some modeling as well. I guess it depended on the model and the price.
