Sharpe's Conversion Entry WIP - 40K Terra

Sharpe · 01-01-2008

Poor picture quality but you get the idea.

As of January 1st, 2008 at 10:29 am I have started.

Nanolathe · 01-01-2008

Wassit gonna be? Flamer? Grenadier? Sargent? Conscript?

Sharpe · 01-01-2008

Sergeant for my kill team.

Oh yeah, I also have a few other blisters than that but they are being shipped so...

Rellik · 01-01-2008

cool! cant wait to see it

Dragoon King · 01-01-2008

Looking forward to seeing more on this project!

Baron von Lexus · 01-01-2008

Ya if its the troopers you talk about in your stories it should be pretty cool.

Baron

hairyyahoo · 01-02-2008

this one i'll be watching closely. i love ig conversions!

Sharpe · 01-02-2008

It's gonna be the sergeant from the story (Mclennnard) but I'm having trouble deciding on the pose. The problem is when I came up with the new one this morning I had already ordered the parts. I don't want to pay $8 for one orc but that pose might be better.

Sharpe · 01-02-2008

Sorry for the double post but i decided to post some pics to preemptively quiet the masses.

So much progress!

This is my workstation. Sort of related.

Wakim · 01-02-2008

I like that little wooden setup you`ve got there

but the round table seems horribly conterproductive

lord marcus · 01-02-2008

that and the canopic jar storing his brain behind his bitz box.

Sharpe · 01-02-2008

It's just a table we had and I find it much easier to think inside that jar.

hairyyahoo · 01-02-2008

can you give us a closer pic of the camo on that tank please mr.sharp? looks tasty!

Rellik · 01-02-2008

looks good dude

Sharpe · 01-03-2008

Sure, here is the tank from both sides. Just was experimenting with painting gray camo. *shrugs*

GriplionGremlin · 01-03-2008

to do grey cammo i'd do a reverse paint job. ie base it white and hit it up with a thined white to get anywhere that was missed or very thin paint and to smooth it out. then do your grey areas with a couple coates and finally do your black areas. i know its backwards but since you have some really light collors there you have to do ALOT of layers if you use a black base.

Baron von Lexus · 01-03-2008

I agree ^ it might have been easier to prime it white and then paint the black in. B/c to get a solid white or grey over a black primer is pretty hard and takes a long time.

Baron

Sharpe · 01-04-2008

That's a good idea. I'll have to think about trying that. Anyways time for a major update on the model

Got my shipment of various bits and finally found the pieces I was looking for in my own stuff.

This is the sprue i was waiting for. It's the Necromunda pistol sprue. So many pistols...

And now onto the Peice de Resistance (spg?). My miniature minus the mechanical arm.

You may have noticed the application of at least of my greatcoat cadians technique. Next is the most recent picture: with arms!

Edit: Sorry about the picture quality but I j=had just cut my finger with the hobby knife in the background. Couldn't quite hold the camera still...

Warmaster Romulas · 01-13-2008

sohes getting a stub pistol huh
i like this one so far

Sharpe · 01-13-2008

New Update!

Sorry for the delay, had a massive project to do and only found out that it was supposed to be written in German the night before it was due.

Anyways, this new model comes with the added features of a:
-head
-backpack
-stub pistol (you sir are correct)

Thinking of adding a camo cloak next but its either that or wiring.

Rellik · 01-13-2008

very nice indeed

Baron von Lexus · 01-13-2008

I like the Great coat method. Keep it up

r4wr89 · 01-13-2008

yea that great coat is clever. can you clarify how you did it if you get the chance ? anyhow, wow i totally didn't expect the bionic arm. but it's coming along nicely ! personally, i'd just stick with the great coat instead of a cloak, the cloaks are painfully difficult for me...haha
nice though ! :]
-ant

Sharpe · 01-29-2008

Whoops, been busy for a while.

Here is a dramatic picture of the final copy. Details!

Edit: I'm thinking of making my "Shortcuts for Guard building Tutorial" with greatcoats, shotguns, and more!
