Uncharacteristically for me I actually had a fair amount time to work on models the past couple of weeks. When the weather and work permitted I was finally able to get a chance to take pics of some of my minis today. . First up is the Truescale Deathwatch Marine.













a little mutie I made to look like the one in the Inquisitor rulebook










and some terrain








The last piece is the flight base for my Valkyrie.

VERY WELL DONE! The Deathwatch Guy's power sword is EXCEPTIONALLY nice. I LOVE the way the Inquisitorial Mutant turned out...cool bit of conversion. The base for the Valkerie though is my favorite.

Awesome i think ghouls are becoming the next conversion thing.

Holy crap!

You have done some great work.

Top work! Both of the minis are just amazing - the ghoul in particular is pretty much perfect (but the freehand on the deathwatch marines shin is awesome too - very precise). How did you achieve the dusty effect on the statue.

Very impressed and you must share more (I demand it!)

Laney

DIABLOS!!!

I'm hypersensitive to well crafted models today (all Laney's fault!) and your models are AWESOME!

The power Sword is VERY well done. Amazing blending control... I wish I had 1/100th of your ability. The gem effects and the freehand writing is SPECTACULAR! The model is... PERFECT!

The terrain is fabulous! The weathering and dust effect (on the Valkyrie's base) is super-realistic.

I may send my :ninjas: to your place and 'appropriate' some models. Get ready! ehehehe. Definitely... thanks for sharing! Amazing work!

TRUESCALE! TUTORIAL!

Thanks for the comments all. Ill try and put together a small tutorial when I get a chance. I also have plans to make another few True scales so Ill take WIP pics as I go. However this was the first one I made and it was most definantly a learning experience. When I make more there are a few things Id do differnently. For now Id suggest looking through the various threads on Dakka or Ammobunker by Doghouse, Migs, Hits the Spot, and a few others. Hands down IMHO is Master of the Forges marines ( http://masteroftheforge.com/ ) . He also has some tutorials on his site that Id check out. They have all perfected the process and do amazing work. Here is one more pic to get an idea how big he really is:



@ Mudboy- I had a hard time finding a suitable bolter. I didnt want to use a standard bolter as the DW all use modified M41s in the fluff. The ones that come with the Deathwatch bits sprue look way to small on this guy. So after fiddling around in my bits box I made this one to represent the M41 with the integral silencer talked about in the old DW fluff.

@Laney- The statue was pretty straight forward. I used succesively lighter shades of bronze and grass to work up to a nice shiney finish. Then i used some my own weathering mixes I made. When dry I did some more highlighting and used standard GW washes to pinline some areas. The tarnishing effect was done with Valleijo VerdiGris (First time I used this product- It is great but takes alittle getting used to its properties. Its kind of like a really thisk glaze but I think produces a great tanish effect. I tired before using inks and paints but it always seeemd to turn out to green or blue for me.) Final was to touch up some areas with a Bronze silver mix lightly drybrushed.

Currently working on some Inquisition lackeys, a few renegades, and a guy inspired by the Malatek Stalker in the DH Radicals handbook.When I get a chance Ill try and take pics and post them here. Even though I dont do RPGs the Dark Heresy (Inc. Rogue Trader and Deathwatch)books have some kick ass fluff and artwork, If you get a chance check them out they are an incredible resource of ideas.

For those interested in True scale marines Id check out this thread linky linky. The plan is to eventually have Chapterhouse release kits containing parts to more easily make true scale marines when the sculpter is done making setails on the blanks. The kits will contain Torso, legs, shoulder pads, and backpacks (enough for approximately 6 marines).

Truly amazing, Magnificent work.

Just as an after thought, the legs on the big metal/stone guy look like hes trying to hold it in if you hold/look it just right.

The Ghoul is really cool!

But the sword is awesome. Really good work. Can't say anything more than that.
