belly plate

its me again sorry to be a pest only i was admiring the mock up and a thought occurred to me, namely a belly plate held out slightly from below the waist to protect the workings of the inner hip joints just about where the family jewels are the equivalent of a cricket box for dreadnaughtsyes he\'s lost one

 

[Chrome]

In other words, a codpiece? lol
Yeah, I will get one there in a while, not quite sure how I would do design it though

 

[cassar]

codpiece

slightly curved layer\'d plate like the main body plates with studs or you could even do a plate with a wicked half moon blade sticking out and downwards heres a rough sketchhttp://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu323/cassar1photos/CopyofPhoto0746.jpg

 

[Chrome]

I never thought anyone would put so much effort into one of my projects that they drew sketches about their ideas... Hats off for you!
I do like those ideas, it\'ll be either one of those or a plain chainmail loincloth, it\'s those three I am choosing between, might do them all and see how it looks.

Ah, well, here we have the last update for this Sunday, I have started on the seismic hammer for him, I will add pneumatics and detail later, now it\'s time to just hang around on the computer and stop thinking for a few hours, makes it easier to come up with new ideas later. Enjoy!

I took a close-up on the meltagun but the pic got so blurry i didn\'t want to post it, I\'ll take a better one tomorrow which just might contain more details. stay tuned!

hammer

is that an old brush shaft i see before me? excellent bit of recycling ,good mini saves the planet, watch the varnish on it tho it has a habit of crumbling off:drunk:

 

[Chrome]

That it is! And the Varnish on this particular brush is quite hardy, I\'ve used it as exhaust pipes for old Ork models before

 

[Dragonsreach]

How about echoing the shoulder pad design for the Codpiece?

 

[Meph]

Splendid, splendid job on the shoulder guards and leg armour. It\'s seriously looking cool.

 

[cassar]

obssesive interest

the reason for my interest in your design is simple i need a second rook for my giant 40k theme chess set i was messing with the idea of either a land speeder or a venerable dready, no prizes for guessing which road im going down and your design is largely responsible. if you pardon the pun. i only mentioned the varnish on the hammer because if you intend to put cross hatching on the hammer shaft simular to the shaft of a tech marine staff then the varnish might come off u might be better off just sanding it, post some photos of the hand assembly soon

 

[Chrome]

Hmm, echoing the shoulder guards... yeah, that will definitely work. There\'s how I will do it.

I will do the cross hatching with green stuff over a sandpapered area of the shaft later.

 

[A Luna]

Is it just me. Or is there really no difference in the \'before\' and \'after\' picture?

Looking awesome so far Chrome.

 

[cassar]

are your eyes painted on!lol , try the top right outer shoulder plate,mate whoops startin to rhyme,big fan of dynasty nothing wrong with big shoulder padslol na seriously i had to study it for a while too it is a subtle difference

 

[Aldmhac]

I cant wait to see it done

 

[Chrome]

I am currently waiting for a shipment of some details that should arrive some time during this week, after that it will be up and going again!

 

[Warzone1320]

Oh I can se it now! That\'s very subtle..

 

[Chrome]

Not much progress on this one yet sadly, I did make a codpiece for him a while ago but it turned out looking like a diaper. lol
I did talk to a friend about it while roleplaying yesterday and I think I have a few new ideas going.

 

[Meph]

Hehehe, you wouldn\'t happen to have been playing Dark-Heresy? I find it to be a very good RPG and it\'s 40K to boot!

 

[Chrome]

I haven\'t played it yet, but my missus gave it to me a while ago(cant remember if it was a birthday or anniversary present though. lol). Been drooling in the core book ever since. lol
