there is a Bandai HG Mobile Worker,



The size of the lower body of the HG Mobile Worker mounted on the invictor warsuit is quite appropriate. now we've got an full movable lower body,the waist and legs, completely movable.

The biggest difficulty here is that you have to make a decent foot, which is almost completely hand-made, very difficult.————————SO,ANY IDEA？


It is hoped that this will give hobbier some inspiration. It is feasible to make a fully movable invictor warsuit in this way.
now you know what to do.

add arms.

movable foot testing.

This looks most promising - impressive experimentation

Thanks for sharing!

I hope someone can transfer those picture to id4chan term.

full closed cockpit,with bits from https://www.shapeways.com/produc ... &li=marketplace

Thats a really cool idea, cant wait to see it with a full paint job and see some dramatic poses

I think it's entirely feasible, and using some other poseable model is a good idea.

About the foot, for my Cerastuas Knight I substituted the ball joint in the foot with a spherical magnet and... Boom, done.
Magnet are a viable alternative for joints (and they have the bonus advantages that can be separated for transport)

Now it's the hardest step: extending the hinge ,just by 1mm.


There is a biggest problem with the size of the full-closed invictor cockpit conversion bit. You have to use a knife to cut off some part of the original invictor bits to install the hinges. But I didn't want to do that, so I had to spend a lot of effort to modify this conversion bit. But at the last step, I had to modify the hinge, or the Invitor part to make the cockpit cover movable.


The original plan was to modify the invictor parts, but it would have to retrofit two components, which would lead to more problems. In order to simplify as much as possible, I finally decided to reform the hinge.

The structure is shown in the picture. The two hinges marked must be extended by 1 mm. The diameter of the hinge is 1.8 or 2 mm. Because it is made of resin, it is very brittle. When drilling and piling, we are worried about irreversible damage. If the connection strength cannot be guaranteed without piling, the strength of too thin pile, such as 0.5mm, is not enough.

two foots design:

PlanA: human foot-like style,more stable in most pose,but make total-heigh increase by 5mm.

PlanB:classic Dreadnought foot style,more warhammer aesthetical,but need very much work for conversion details.

so,WHICH BETTER?

comparison with primaris marine and contemptor dreadnought.

more pictures.

I definitely prefer the classic dreadnought foot. It kind of anchors the look in 40k space marines, while the "human" feet make it look like it would fit more in a Tau army.
