Mr Fufu has done it again. I applaud you once again.

I have to ask what is the mecha-turban made from?

**Fufu**

Thanks a lot PDH

I did it with some this things from my desk :

**Ratius**

Crazy, crazy stuff, very cool.

**TheFireDrake**

Utterly stunning i love models like this with the john blanche look. Hit the ball out of the park

**Musashi363**

You are waaaaay better than Blanches artwork. You have completely captured the look and feel of Warhammer. Bravo sir.

**neil101**

He he he , good stuff matey , love the Bedford tribute ;-)

**Fufu**

Hep Neil Thanks you. As you can see, away blocked in the "Mars Way" since your "Box on Pick"...help friend, please take me off with news inspirations

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I took an old generation to bring up to date : resculpting the Skitarii pilot, some news bitzs for the cockpit and a new base. Not my best conversion, not my best painting but my prefer because dynamic like JB's illustation "Penitent Engine Concept"

**Moltar**

YES!!!! That totally rules! So many heads and I love the top/back pack! Nice build and love the motion created.

**neil101**

Oh yeah .. you dont need any help .. well.. not inspiration anyway haha.. ;-)

i have always liked this illustration .. infact i was recently goint to create a tribute myself .. i might still do as i have the bits i would need.

my latest stuff is far more pedestrian though.

**ryanroberts**

You have definitely captured the atmosphere of Blanche's work! Keep it up, I'm sure we all want to see more!

**Warboss_Waaazag**

What I've learned from this thread is that life on Mars is just very, very strange.

**Thussiler**

Amazing man just awsome

**Fufu**

Thanks guys for kinds words

**inmygravenimage**

Wow, they're fantastically disturbing!

**lone dirty dog**

I swear it is like looking inside Blanche's mind, it is so satisfyingly unnerving

you have captured the feel and characteristics of his artwork so well.

**Fufu**

Hey hey happy you like men!
For info thé legs come from Arthemis ]|[, thé head from EC FW Dread, cockpit made with few raptors backpack, thorax and arms from olds tyranids and some bitzs.
In few Time some news members in m'y Mars Délégation ll come

**SpaceMonk**

Unreal

**odinsgrandson**

That is some very Blanchian work you've got going there.

Very cool.

**Citizen Luka**

Really rich characters in these minis - bravo sir!

**Fufu**

And the Mars family grow again :

**aosol**

I absolutely love stuff like this.

**Moltar**

Damn! You just keep crankin' them out. Love the bubble helmet and the huge exhaust pipe.

**Fufu**

And the madness continue :

For the twice I tried a new technic of painting by using a micro point to unified the entire figure and to approach a max to the JB's Illustrations. Hope I did ...

**Moltar**

It definitely helps the JB look! Had to zoom in a little in the gallery to fully appreciate it, but it looks great.

**4L Goon**

They remind me of the Remade from a china mieville story. Very graphic and slightly disturbing. Nice work.

**PDH**

Kungfufu - Lovely stuff as always. You must have a veritable army going on.

Perfect! I Absolutley love this stuff!

I would love to get an Adeptus Mechanicus built and painted by you.

John Blanche made the "Grim" on the Grim Darkness of the Future!

**Fufu**

Hey thanks guys

I ve just finished "Bahoriia Female Méchanicum Assassin" with (real!) needle instead of fingers.

A little army Yes PDH ( 30 figures at this time in this scheme of product) but difficult to integrate in a Codex ( the Demon is the less worse I think...)

I ll show the entire of them as soon as I refound my photo app !

**scarletsquig**

Fantastic work, love Blanche's style and these minis.

**Fufu**

The last mini is finished. An hard work to approach as naer as possible this fantastic JB 's illustration :

And so I did it :

Dangerous no ? I confirm because I used real needle to do the strange fingers; thre next time I ll finish with them instead to begin ...ouchhh :(
