Work in progress!!!

Saw the first few pics and thought, sweet, one of the space suits from off the Nostromo!

Nice work on this. Well done!

This is great. Looks really cool!

More of a "Gun-dame" than a "space" marine ... (RX-75 was a gundam - gun-tank from my limited knowledge of that anime).

I've been on a quest to bring gunpla and model tank techniques to my 40k work.... I used some gundam decals, I hope it's not distracting for those in the k ow?

That's completely awesome.

Sick conversion man.

though that purity seal looks out of place lol.

Nope. Anything to get away from the "covered in skulls" aesthetic that has overtaken 40k in the last 20 years.

That looks amazing!

Would be cool to see you play with a tinting color, or try stenciling to apply some pattern to the outside (or ideally inside) of the helmet itself. A subtle hex grid pattern would look pretty sweet.

Thanks! yeah I tend to feel projects out as I go, Ive carved most of the imperial symbology off but I'm unsure if I should take off 95% or 100%? I'll see how it goes.

OOOoooohhhh yes I could apply a pattern using a stencil and spray.... interesting. I have some small decals that would be suitable for a 'HUD' but I'm unsure, it may make the helmet too cluttered.

Those are so awesome. Is the whole torso a new piece or just the helmet bit? I've been tempted to do a conversion like that based off some Starship Troopers art.

These are fantastic (and I might steal the idea).

super cool.
i dont like the short one as much for some reason but its still cool.

i think that they would look a lot more interesting if you removed the aquilas and 40k stuff but maybe its just me.

i'm curious where the torso and helmet came from too.

Very nice
