				<title>Return to hobbying</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I recently got back into the hobby, and almost immediately upon my return- I threw myself into a chaplain conversion contest on the B&C, a sister forum to dakka.  Here are some work in progress shots of my model- comments, critique and criticism are appreciated and welcomed.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/148/4/f/conversion_challenge_wip_1_by_emo_catboy-d51ee89.jpg" border="0" /><br /> The base model is Ivanus Enkomi of the Minotaurs chapter from the Forge World model company.<br /> <br /> The head has been replaced with a metal chaplain helmet, the feet will be replaced with the armored boots from the same chopped up metal model. The minotaur/bull head on the chest has been shaved down and slightly green stuffed to resemble a human sternum (figured I might as well considering the chest armor is modeled after a rib cage).<br /> <br /> <img src="http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/148/2/3/chaplain_conversion_wip_2_by_emo_catboy-d51eerp.jpg" border="0" /><br /> A side image of the chaplain conversion work in progress. Just a small detail to note but I green stuffed on a small squareish carpenter style nail into the purity seal. Wax can only adhere to a surface so well, especially something like armor- having it physically nailed into the surface of the armor makes a little more sense in my opinion.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/148/f/a/chaplain_conversion_wip_3_by_emo_catboy-d51efbi.jpg" border="0" /><br /> The crozius arcanum mace head for the chaplain conversion.  The minotaur/bull head was shaved off and replaced with a green stuff mold of an out of production chaplain crozius. There was a noticeable gap in the new crozius head and so I actually made a second mold of the skeleton just to extend the studded iron bar. <br /> Still to do: fix the broken halo on the crozius, bore out the filled in eye socket and general touch up.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/148/8/b/chaplain_conversion_wip_4_by_emo_catboy-d51efrg.jpg" border="0" /><br /> Once I shaved the minotaur/bull head off the shoulder pad I started molding a winged skeleton chapter symbol. Sadly the end product is kind of skewed to the side, so I may redo this piece over again- probably using the terminator chaplain shoulder pad for the mold.<br /> <br /> <br /> I still have no idea what to do with the bare leg greave, or what backpack I should use on this model. Any suggestions?  Thanks for looking  <img src="/s/i/a/5d13fa41280d6fdef786d41bc175d3f6.gif" border="0"> ]]></description>
