40k, Conversion

Hello chaps, real quick one today. I was off work with a dicky tummy yesterday, but managed to start this handsome chap:

He’s a gimme from my pal Ross (Thanks Brother!), and I’ve been wondering what to do with him for a while when it occurred to me that he would make a really good MotF. He went under the knife, (well… hacksaw…), for a leg transplant, and got a new do. He’s been tidied up a bit more since this photo so he’s looking pretty cool, and he has had his undercoat applied.

Anyhow, enough jibber-jabber, here are the photos:

Hiya folks, just time for a quick update this morning – I have had a productive weekend, completing the Praetorian Tripod model with more gribbly tentacles, detailing the base and adding a few additions and tweeks here and there. The bulk of the time was spent adding hex bolts to the legs… each no bigger than a pin head, 222 of the buggers in all…
