I don't understand, why did you buy a FW one if you had that spectacular scratch build?

Anyways I'm happy enough with it so here is the finished product, I won't be embarrassed to put it on the table top. Tutorial and Plans to follow very soon.... I mean it this time haha.

Haha, thanks for the clever compliment, although I doubt it's that good, mine doesn't move up and down you know.

Thanks for the other compliments as well. In other news the tutorial is done! Wooo. So head on over and take a peak for yourself.

Also I suppose I'll announce my next project, which will be a Hell Talon/Hell Blade fighter/bomber. Since the Hell Blade is 40K legal now, I plan to make a model that can detach the rear wings and bomb bay with some magnets so it can be played as either. Again I'm sure it will take twice as long as I planned but if you're patient I promise to deliver.

Cant wait!

You're a real plasticard wizard.

That is absolutely amazing.

Holy cow man, you have skills. All i want to know is..how much to build me a warhound?

Haha, unfortunately that took me about a year to do, although alot of that time was trying to figure out what I wanted to build to get the right look. Still even knowing exactally what I want to do now, all the detail work alone at a $5 an hour rate.... you might as well just buy a FW one. However, after I build the Hell Talon/Blade a Reaver Titan is next for me, and I do plan to make molds as I go so check back in a month or two to see where that is at.

You know who you should talk to about a speed build? mxwllmdr. Check out one of his threads here, he did a fantastic one in less than a month.

Hey, thanks TME.......

I aprreciate bumping my threads.....

Plastruct arrived today, wooo! .... Only a 9 days late



So just one more day of class and tests, then it's Spring Break for me, and this loser will be spending the entire 8 days he gets off from school at his workbench. I can't wait to get started on my next two projects (Hell Talon/Blade and Secret Project # 2)

Here are some preliminary sketches I did while waiting for my next Endotracheal Intubation in the Operating Room yesterday.



I'll post some real progress Thursday, I just wanted to shamelessly bump my own thread the same way I did for Max.

HAHAHA, you shameless bumper, you.....

I just envy your post count.

Oh and on a note for you bud, that means I can do the new two piece mold of the entire Dreadclaw and, assuming that works, shoot you that original silicon the day after.

I prefer to look at my view count. It shows that I am getting out there and to that end, I envy Dave.....

Ok bud no worries, I'll let you know when they're available and then whenever is good for you.

I do notice that most of your posts contain an average of 2 edits...

...that and Viktor, Hayabusa, Horst, Capitansolstice, lone dirty dog and dsteingass do frequent your threads to blather on with you.

Oh and Congrats on nearly 24k Views, that is spectacular.

And I do so on there threads as well....


I consider it a non-professional professional courtesy....

I just blather on all of the scratchbuilder's threads!

It's Mold-o-Mania!

I cannot wait to get a set of those.....

These are spectacular! Can't wait to see more, I will be following this thread. Keep up the awesomeness!

So this isn't the Secret Project, just a side project that I kinda wanted to knock out since I actually felt like painting, I figure it will take a day or so.

The Apoc Formation 'Lament of the Damned'


Only have the base coat of Warlock Purple, but I think they'll go pretty fast, given the random placement of painted plates that Slaanesh/Noise Marines have.




This guy is my favorite pose out of them.

Your kidding! Thats a lot of FW!

And a lot of Win too!

Wicked.....


love the color....

I have an odd feeling that those are recasts... Just too much FW to be true!

Glad I found this thread. Epic work man!I wouldn't be able to tell that that was a scratch built dreadclaw if it was on the table. Looks perfect!

Thank you for the fine compliment sir, I do my best.

I had to go to work for a bit and then buy some groceries, the requirement for nutrients is truly an impedance to my daily progress.

Here they are with a 50:50 Warlock Purple and Tentacle Pink.


More to follow.

Here are the boys with all the pink work done and some Fortress Grey extreme highlights. Just have to a bit of metallic work, blue eyes and gems, and more importantly, figure out how I want to do the Blastmasters. I see most of the Blastmasters in pictures just have silver 'barrels' but I don't much care for that. I may try and do a blue gradient down the barrel like it's being charged. Opinions anyone?

I like the idea of the gradient blue....

Seconded

They are perfect!!!
