How is our beast coming along Herr Doktor

Well, I must say, I am very pleased thus far with our the Maulerfiend parts are coming along.  All the different techniques I have tried and envisioned for this has worked, thus far.

I have nearly completed the neck and the two magma cutters.  They need some tidying up, the top blue cell shading and the effect on the cutters.  I am leaning towards red, orange, yellow on the tips of the cutter, like I did the power cables on the Terminator.  Thoughts, suggestions, criticisms?

One of those cranes is leaning boss!

WIP Shots

I have nearly finished my first two full Thousand Sons.  I have had a few issues, as I normally do, but points I have noticed.

Failcast is horrid!  Check out how smooth the helmet is.  That is not layers of paint on the forehead making it look funny.  There are also gaps in the the joins on it and twists and goddamn it is rubbish.  For my own well being I am going to have to track down some of the OOP metal & plastic kits.

And next, the hot fix super glue I have is vile.  It is too free flowing and even a touch of it destroys paint.  It is like acetone on steroids.  Plus I currently have no fingerprints on my left-hand because of it.

So, it has been a fun few weeks.  All that aside, some shots of one of the nearly finished article.  His brother is currently in the shop.

All is dust, or failcast.
Hmmm, green bugs.

Terminator and Cultists

I have completed my first Terminator, with Combi-melta and Chain-fist plus another batch of five cultists.  Really happy with how the terminator turned out, the picture most definitely does not do him justice.

For added nerd points, if you can tell me what the Chapter and Company of the Spesh Muhreen helmet on the trophy rack is, Ill send you a prize.

Glory, here they is.  I have not included the other three cultists as they are all the same as previous.

You're only taller because of the statue you are standing on!

Now I really need to do camera practice ;(
