Thats right, x-acto blade to the rescue. Who's the modelling marvel now? Andy still tbh, but at least I wont want to throw it at the wall when it doesnt shut properly. <br /><br />@ven going to shoot an email over w/ the list since I dont want to side track any other posts.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-57523137202923563252011-01-18T19:43:35.896+00:002011-01-18T19:43:35.896+00:00Is it really 2 years Ven?!?!? God really doesn'...Is it really 2 years Ven?!?!? God really doesn't seem that long!<br /><br />@ Atreides, this really is awesome dude! I echo the others and I'm amazed at the creativity and straight out balls to just go with it and try it. I don't think I'd manage to just do that, I'd just sit there in a state of panic afraid of messing it up. Then after about half an hour just say fuck it and build the kit as GW intended lolStargazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205110356643706887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-80450994315933457132011-01-18T19:30:08.183+00:002011-01-18T19:30:08.183+00:00Another awesome post dude, loving it.
I love the...Another awesome post dude, loving it. <br /><br />I love the idea of you sat at your desk just staring at this fucker until it comes to you... thats true inspiration right there man. <br /><br />I do agree that having an image/vision is all you need, unless of course, you are going to replicate it a few times, then a plan could help, but I would have thought 'design notes' of some kind could be good enough... <br /><br />Great work man. <br /><br />@ Bully - more than happy to look at your Deathwing list dude, they were one of my early armies and have been gathering dust for over 2 years...Venerable Brotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216367267460059729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-25812509871272454252011-01-18T19:24:13.911+00:002011-01-18T19:24:13.911+00:00I really want to get that mentality, and thats wha...I really want to get that mentality, and thats what my Deathwing/Grey Knights hopefully will be like. <br /><br />My DW is going to have a couple of squads of the old old Grey knights with TH's in crazy dynamic poses for a unqiue look. (Speaking of DW, I think I have a 1750 list for Thurs, but might get your's/vens thoughts on it).<br /><br />"i no longer buy ANY models with the intention of building them straight out the box ;) lol " - yeah by the fact you have like 27 different chimeras on the table lol!Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-61299639197723667572011-01-18T18:38:13.714+00:002011-01-18T18:38:13.714+00:00good question. with all my conversions i have a v...good question. with all my conversions i have a vague (and i do mean vague) idea of what i want the finished model to look like. usually i also have a very specific idea of what i want one aspect of the model to look like. in this case, i knew i wanted the two VTOL rotors and knew exactly what i wanted them to look like. <br /><br />i had absolutely no idea what to do with the rest of the thing. the first one took me over 24 hours of work time to complete and most of that was trying bits in different places, or just sitting and staring at the thing hoping for inspiration. <br /><br />in my opinion the only way to build and convert stuff like this is to start with a vision and not be afraid to change it if it something else turns out to look better. in this case, i was convinced i was going to use the valkyrie wings to mount the rotors on, but it looked shit, so i just magnetised them straight to the hull. <br /><br />i know a lot of guys draw their plans out, but i never found that worked for me. its too restricitve and you can end up being tied down to your original ideas, which can make a model seem forced and wrong. <br /><br />and incidentally, i no longer buy ANY models with the intention of building them straight out the box ;) lolAtreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-85597857301979262692011-01-18T18:26:12.966+00:002011-01-18T18:26:12.966+00:00Good stuff Atreides.
Can I ask, as this is someth...Good stuff Atreides.<br /><br />Can I ask, as this is something that always niggles at me, where/how do you visualise this prior to the project.<br /><br />Obviously you have the C&C Heli for your basis, but was it a case of getting a Vendetta kit and hoping you could do it, or planning ahead of time/purchase via looking @ sprues? Or just a case of buying the kit with the intention to create a regular vendy and then realising it could be bashed into something a bit more unique and exciting.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.com
