A Shoot with Rodney's Gunpla Collection!!!

                                        Rodney and I had been talking for a while about making him a backdrop for some photos of his Gunpla kits.After a few conversations and ideas thrown around I threw out the idea of a star box like the ones used for solar system dioramas. A half hour later and some lights set up and here you go........a few backdrop pics to show off Rodneys collection. Hopefully here in the near future we will get some more up with multiple backdrops and a couple other local Gunpla builders kits.

                                        You can tell he's a fan of the original. We had some colored light beam pictures that came out rather dark, the next shoot we'll be working on those for sure........Thanks to Rodney for the help and thanks again to the guys at RoboGato in El Paso Texas for the hook ups!!

My Necron Triarch Stalker Conversion

                                As the new Necron codex came out everyone was kind of at odds with the units and characters that didnt have a model to represent them on the board. As with any new book or race everyone rushed to make conversions and customs of these pieces for their armies. Around this time i stumbled upon http://warhammerwithzail.blogspot.com/  a blog showing off conversions and giving tutorials. One of the best conversion tutorials ever was the one Zail put up on the Necron Triarch Stalker. After sending him pics of the one i made using his tutorial and talking a few times he didnt post for sometime and then put up a post titled "i am not dead" and never posted again.

Hopefully all is well with Zail and he comes back with more to teach us!!

Anyway....sorry for the ramble heres the Necron Triarch Stalker i made thanks to Zail.

 

                                         Model consists of a Necron Ghost Ark kit and some Green Putty.

                                         His first base coats are on. So funny how a model looks before you really get into painting it. Once I'm done with him and the new supposed release of the Necron second wave comes out I'll post some primed, coated and finished pics of mine compared to the Gamesworkshop version.

Rodney's Kit Bashed Gundam Age Titus Conversion!!!!

                                                  Rodney came to me not to long ago asking about conversions with milliput.....mainly getting a couple kits to mount to another kit without any movement restrictions and without it being to delicate. He told me his idea about taking a black Age 1 Titus and putting a devil and an angel on each shoulder. I thought cool and then he showed me a pic of the inspiration which was Dizzy from Guilty Gear

Then I thought it would be a really cool idea just based on the fact that I love that game and pretty much every character in it. This was the end result which came out pretty damn nice.....

                                        All consisting of 1/144 HG kits.

                                          Three kits in all...A Titus, Wing Zero Custom, and Deathscythe Hell Custom.

                                          Rodney base coated the Titus's red plated flat black and lined everything from the faces to the wings on the angelon his shoulder.

                                         A little bit of putty, three kits and some details later and a very unique and inspiring model is created. Good job goes out to Rodney Harris, it was a fun build. You'll see more pics from this kit and others when the RoboGato Gundam Expo and kit contest pics go up in a day or so.......keep building!!!

My New Necrons

                                                        As far as Warhammer 40K goes I'm pretty much all about the bad guys. Be that any number of the Legions of Chaos, Necrons, Dark Eldar, Tyranids or even Orks I gravitate towards the guys who wanna take over the universe and could care less about the rest.
                                                       In the next few 40K posts I'm gonna go over my Necron shelf.Since the new codex I've been really into necrons new rules and new model kits. Cryptek Court conversions, HQ Special character conversions, the Triarch Stalker conversion i made months and months ago thats been floating around the internet, the Forgeworld Tombstalker chroming project and last but not least the Megalith conversion project. Hopefully i can get that done before Forgeworld craps out some crazy amazing ultra expensive supposedly gonna be a.......Megalith. Its gonna be a busy few weeks.



          First things first....Illuminar Szeras HQ kit bashed conversion.......

 he came out super sick and he's ready for a base coat.

 The Necron Shelf minus the Annihilation Barges, Immortals, Deathmarks, all my Arks and some conversions........

 which are in this stack of battlefoam that dont have their home yet(a case)......hopefully soon.

                                          Lord with Res Orb

                                           Destroyer Lord with Res Orb

                                           Cryptek conversion with Harp of Dissonance made from plasticard

                                           Trazyn The Infinite who is almost done actually.

                                          Orikan The Diviner (lord) conversion.....until they come out with the actual model.....if they ever come out with the actual model.

 Molding these Scarabs out of green putty was fun. Miliput super fine makes the best molds!!! Make your own pieces and small models and have fun with it. Dont look perfect at first but once they are painted and based up with sand to look as if they are emerging out of the sand, they look great!!!!

Imotekh the Stormlord (for shelf display, not play) I wanted an Imotekh that looked cool and I worked a lot on details and shading and some how simulated the Blood Swarm Scarabs. Puppetswar answered that call with their new Cyber Beetle Miniatures that look very Necron and fit the different discriptions of the blood swarms very well. Hopefully in the coming weeks I can get him all painted up and nice looking. Once I did the base coat I ran out of the paints I wanted to use when I used them other models and then became way busy and side tracked with other models.......to many projects at once and so little time!!!
