@emps champ - Hand is on hold for another project

looking at that site now

thanks!

@Mordain - Getting your own desk really gets rid of alot of tension in the house

Thanks about the legs

although the feet are taking a while to get my head around.

**tipios**

Well, my bitz arrived for me to start the big cannon

but have not started it yet!! because, I've been a bit occupied these last 2 days with the fun waaaaaaagh project. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/399636.page It's perfect for chaps or chapess's who love the converting business!!

I counld not help myself, I had to do a mini dread contraption

**Gitsplitta**

So cool... what do you hae planned for his other arm?

**tipios**

Tanx Gits !!! I'm trying to scatch build a mini big shooter, or what ever the dreads arm is called(if that makes sence

) I'm enjoying this so much, I may have to start doing a big looted dread conversion, which will make GirrafeX happy

**Gitsplitta**

Sounds great tipios. Very inspiring!

**RSJake**

That's awesome! I can't wait to see the other arm!

I have been working on mine, but I don't have any grot bits, so I am building a cyber grot from scratch. I hope it works. How tall are these little buggers anyway?

**The Epic Chaosdude!!!**

Damn, those are few of the funniest and best conversions I have ever seen. Keep up the good work!

**tipios**

@gits - Dakka is just one big inspiration looop!! We love it

@rsjake - ooooh another sculpt job? they are about half way up a space marine in height, although I did cut mine in half so can't give a real good size comparison!!! good luck with yours!

@epic - thanks alot!!!

**inmygravenimage**

Fantastic mate - and just seeing the thread name made me grin

**More Dakka**

HAH! I love it, esp the little feet hanging down!!!

lol sounds good, the little grot dread is really cool love his legs hanging down.

**tipios**

@RSjake - you could just sculpt a head, and make up a robot body! or even a flying grot, I havn't seen one yet

@graven - thanks mate

oh and the right arm goes out to you, as I was stuck when making the big shooter. To keep it in with the GK looted body, I konverted a GK psycannon into the shooter, which you sent me

@More Dakka - thanks!!

@GiraaX- Yeah I've really enjoyed doing this conversion, so on a bigger scale I think I could go made. Thanks, I was going to have the upper part of the body hanging out the top of the termi torso, but after I chopped the legs of it just made sense having them hanging down, and just have the head on top

I might go out and get a set of grots, and make a squad of mini deff dreads

After HF Izanagi told me how he did his rivets. (just roll out GS thin then slice up) it's so easy, I'm putting them every where

I failed at making a scratch build mini big shooter, but I'm happy with the GK themed looted parts.

**Gitsplitta**

The DoomGrot....

Outstanding!!

**RSJake**

That is amazing! Well done tipios! That is going to look great painted up!

**tipios**

@gits - I'm gona have to do a whole squad of Doomgrots

@RSjake - Thanks matey!! Yes painting next, my nemesis!!!

**Rogue Wolves**

aww how cute haha thats a nice dread

**tipios**

@rogue Wolve - ha thanks!! cute until he chops your nuts off

He's finally ready for paint, I'll post pics up of the primer for you giraffeX so you can see how it turns out.

Not forgeting the defiler, this is his cannon started, a demolisher and vanquisher stuck together. The demolisher gives me the body to attach to the arm, and the pistons give the nice detail of recoil.

**monkeyh**

Like the grot mini dread - cool!

**tipios**

Thanks monkeyh!! this may be the fastest mini I've every done.

Nearly finished in less than a week

I would have got it done today, but I'm helping my dad finish the painting of the outside of his house!!! Last bit to do, so I should have tomorrow free yey!!

**Emperors_Champion**

Nice work as always! Loving the mini dread! Good start on the cannon!

I'm waiting on a few bits for my next Tau project and I really must give you mountains of credit for being a massive inspiration!

Keep it coming mate!

**tipios**

@EMp's Champ - Thanks alot mate!! Can't wait to see that hammerhead

the inpiration is going both ways, with your painting and posing

@Giraffex this is how that primer comes out when you paint it on.

I started to rush the job when I got home, and messed up the teeth and glasses lense:(

So thats it so far, the hazard stripes will be on the chain saw!

**Gitsplitta**

Lookin' good tipios!

**Nightfall**
