Happy Monday all, and I’m super-happy to introduce LtCdr Nimoy – liaison officer of the (star)fleet, seconded to the 215th. I’m well chuffed with this guy – the aim was to make something recognisably Spock-like & Treky, while still having a serviceable and recognisable MotF. I think I pulled it off reasonably well – there are a few bits I might revisit, (like the shonky writing on the shoulder pad!), but I’m very pleased with the face, armour & sword, and the overall ‘feel’ of the mini is just what I was hoping for.

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.

My plan is to paint him up in a Spock-esque scheme as a nod to the recently departed Mr. Nimoy. I’m not a Trecky as such, but you’ve godda love Spock, and I was very sad to hear LN was no longer with us. Hopefully my painting will do the idea justice, and it’ll be nice to have a dedicated MotF as well… getting your reserves on the board is a highly logical strategy, after all.

Finished the Tripod!

Hello chaps, last post of 2014 – I got the Tripod finished! There is a tiny bit of detail to finish on the base, but nothing to terrible. I’ve gone for my usual heavily weathered look, with plenty of rust and oil involved. I’ve painted the side hatch closed so I’ll be able to pop it open and add the crewman when I get around to painting him…

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