Ynek managed to get some higher resolution pics of his walker: (turned the pics into links because of the high resolution)

Got some higher resolution images today, courtesy of a friend's camera.

@Malika - Sadly, I can't put the model together, since it would need quite a bit of gluing. I tried to piece it together with blu-tac, but to quote Admiral Tarkin, it was an exercise in futility.

But I can understand why you're asking to see it all together. So far, all I've really posted are pictures of individual components, and the scale of one component to another etc. is hard to guage from such pictures.

The next time I manage to secure a camera, I'll take a few 'all pieces togeher' pictures, but until then, all I can really say to compensate is that it's quite a 'leggy' model, and it's quite tall and narrow.

He is also working on his gun:

Bocks started working on his Stingwing:

Hey hey.

Here's some WIP of the Alien Stingwing. Haven't begun work on the wings yet... Waiting on a soldering iron so I can make the armatures properly. Oh, and ignore how crippled the head currently looks. Tis just the base shape.

And Khavor also started working on a mini:

I owe Khavor a pint.

What was the bet?

Make that a pint and a first-born.

Looking good Mal, I'm particularly liking the stingwing so far, looks like a necron wraith nid style. That female mech is going to be insane if the ball isn't dropped too, good stuff!

One thing though, make damn sure that the gun design is tested on actual models for ease of glueing before he goes too far with it. I've had some real nightmares sticking new weapons into cadian hands, especially any that have stocks or clips in back such as the elyssian guns. I had to chop them up and pray just to get a cadian arm to hold an elyssian melta, and even then it took extensive modding.

Good stuff congrats to you and your company!

Malika2 wrote:What was the bet?

No, I mean for sculpting an awesome model.

Yeah, we've been discussing that over here. The initial version of the gun didn't fit the Cadian models. After discussing it, Ynek modified the stock of the gun a bit so it better fits.

I've gotta spend more time on that forum, some sick stuff in there! Particularly like the Cthulu lictor sculpt!

I popped my cherry and made a first post on your linky though.

So I noticed! Welcome aboard! We could always use more users to provide feedback and join us with the ideas we've been working on (such as Sciror, Warspike, Wastelander)

I'm going to make more of a contribution from now on, it's great to be able to participate in the process and learn.

Thanks again for that invite!

Still, Alien sculpts seem to have a hard time at Troll Forged. The ready Tervigon sculpt sits on the shelves of Troll Forged since 4 months, and no release date in sight. Let's hope that Bock's second Brain will make it.

What ever happened to the "Alien Drop Pod"? It looked like a great piece to disassemble for "Arteriole Towers". Plus, it was my favorite alien drop pod to date.

What tervigon sculpt? is it the chicken feet one?

No, Wormwood is working on different feet after the feedback

I am talking about cyclonus' Alien transport (here a pic from 6th January, and yes, the small thing on the right is a Carnifex ):

The Tervigon like bug is still very much a WIP, wormwood is still working on it.

As for Cyclonus' stuff, Ed has been working on the molds for those creatures, I'll let you know more about it as soon as more information becomes available. As for the drop pod, I think Cyclonus is still working on it, it's just that I haven't seen him on our forums for a while so I can't say what the status is on that.

Have patience, Ed is working as hard as he can to get all the stuff cast and released.

Impatient buyers... I'll take promising business signs for 500 Alex.

Got a message from Ed on the status of Cyclonus' stuff:

I'm waiting on the rubber to arrive with the equipment. Soon as it gets here I can finish his molds. They are shipping today so soon as I get it we are go. All the huge parts are molded in RTV.

I've been testing iKims stuff as well and also got the old molds from cerberus in grey resin since he dropped off the face of the earth. :-/

We should have some releases this weekend.

Malika2,

Thanks for the photos of the Walker - looks like it'll be a ripper when done...

I'm really liking Khavor's female mini with the "melta" gun, but the goggles perched on her head really don't suit - perhaps bare headed would be a better look - the goggles just don't seem to fit the rest of the mini...

Padre^.

Conversely, i thought the goggle really captured the entire look of the mini.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And i loved the chicken feet! will they still be an option?

The goggles to me say "weird science" when paired with that sci-fi armour and zappy gun.

The goggles remind me of the Engineer.

Ok, not going to nag or anything, but whatever happened to the sci fi infantry kit? was jsut looking through all your posts, and theres som great stuff thats not seen the light of day. What happened to it all?

I'm not sure which infantry kit you refer to but but Ikims commandos, Ice's Mutants and Mercs are all currently with Ed and at the top of his to-do list. AFAIK they've been preeped for molding but Ed has run out of rubber for the spin casting molds, he ordered some new stuff a little while ago along with another vulcanizing table (effectively doubling the speed he can make spin molds). He's sine recieved the new machinery but his suppliers forgot to ship the rubber. i think it's now on its way but i don't know how long it will take to arrive. Ed's pretty much on top of the backlog so things should start picking up pace soon. I'd expect some of the kits you're waiting for to be released in the next month or so. As he's not currently molding anything for me i haven't being paying that much attention to whats coming soon other than the infantry and cyclonus's big bug. most of my recent communication with Ed has been about plastic injection molding

Hi guys, sorry for the late response! I was in Venezuela for 10 days, exploring the socialist revolution and living on tapir meat and ant sauce while checking out the world's highest waterfall.

I'll be back with more info and stuff during the week, I have so much stuff to check out, I'm all behind again!

Ok, update!

Icesword is still working on his Great Coats, look at the Commissar:


And the seven fellas!



Nathonicus keeps working on his ice riders:


Ynek is still busy with his walker:




Nehemiah is busy on the Dagan:


Khavor's lady is more or less done:




And Ed continues to work on his Trolls:

good lord lol, nice troll junk!

Icesword has come a long way in a short time. That Commissar is great, and the troopers aren't looking too shabby either.

The Commissar, Walker and Khavor's Lady are looking great!!! (still don't dig the goggles on the lady, though...would like to see a bare-headed option available as well )

Hmmm...the "presumably-anatomically-correct" Troll is a downright concern, IMHO! (Note I say "presumably...", having no idea what a troll's bits are supposed to look like...)

Personally, would be more interested in buying a mini of a semi-nude human female, but whatever gets you through then night, I suppose...

Padre^.

Quite odd that you need semi-nude female miniatures to get you through the night!

Cripes, dude, tag that stuff NSFW!
