Very good stuff so far indeed

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Very interesting choice optimus...I'm entirely in the dark as to where the figure will end up - can't wait to see what will happen

I've been slaving away at my hobby desk again;





Still more to go, but I'm happy with how it's coming along so far

Very cool! He's a rather fierce looking alien (possibly with a hidden tender side?).

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Looks suitably scary. Tender side or not, I wouldn't want that thing showing up anywhere near my house!

More progress,







So I'm calling the conversion part done. Next comes the painty bit

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

is it really 2mm coper wire ? If it is I just don't understand how you manage to work with it so naturally when I'm struggling with guitar strings... if it's not, I want to know everything about that

 

[Mr Papafakis]

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

It's actually 1.25mm plastic coated wire.....if that makes any difference?

I suppose my "trick" is to use my fingers to bend as much as possible. If I have to use a tool to make sharp bends then I make the bends in stages, not in one go. So I'll bend it a bit, then release the pliers, then bend a bit again, repeat until satisfied.

Those tubes work a treat! Where's his backpack from? It's very smart

 

[Mr Papafakis]

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

It's stolen from the same mini I took the flamer from for my LE01 Space Ork conversion late last year. It's a Secrets of the third Reich German para trooper.

Good looking backpacks can be a tricky thing to find I reckon.

Cheers for the tip Shane !

Well now look at what you guys made me get out of the "old pots" box...

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Okay I got my model!!!! Finally I know!

It's gonna be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Zoat....I will start hacking the shit out of him very soon. I will post all my progress! OLDHAMMER LEGACY FO'EVA

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Really? Your gunna dismember that awesome mini?

Your committing some sort of serious sacrificial act Mr Airborne

Anywho (my personal apprehension aside) I'm interested to see what direction you take with it.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Mr Airborne you have my admiration for decapitating an ancient mini and donating it to the project. Good man! Such irreverence is surely in the spirit of Oldhammer!

 

[Asslessman]

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Well you have some balls for sure ! Make sur eyou work on your bandana sculpting skills

 

[axiom]

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

This is getting more exciting by the day...old school paints (still usable JB?), lizard centaur warriors from space!!

I also met up with The Responsible One at Warhammer World yesterday afternoon, where he very kindly bought me a coffee and gave me a model!

Here's the crew as things stand. As I was setting them out, it struck me that the bosun and his orange-armoured mate are probably vying for the attention of the cabin girl, while the older, more serious members of the crew are doing something more useful

 

[Asslessman]

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Great work you guys !

I'm on my way with my entry :

- Oldschool turquoise (still usable) [CHECK]
- Hunchback [CHECK]
- Moustache [CHECK]
- Mullet [CHECK]
- Rogue trader cred [CHECK]

I've begun basecoating and this one wil lprobably be the moron of the band...

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Mustachioed, hunchbacks are de rigeur for space pirates of course. Sounds perfect!

 

[airbornegrove26]

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Don't get to worked up about me hacking the shit out of a zoat. It's not going to be to bad, just a weapon swap, and a bandana.

We will see! I'm not even sure where I am going to go with this yet.

Re: Oldhamer Legacy Crew 2015 ("Arrr!&quot - Sign Up and Progre

Cool Airborne

You had me shitting bricks
