Killa Kanz

2009-04-17T20:50:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to try and build some Killa Kanz for a while now. As one Kanz isn't of much use I thouth I'd build three at once. Here are the results. As far as material is concerned I use CD case styrene for the main part and Chupa chup sticks for the pistons and exhaust pipes. The rivetts are just epoxy glue, which was also use arround the exhaust stacks.

Wraithguard

2009-03-29T02:18:00.000-07:00

As I'm trying to develop my sculpting skills I've started making a Wraithguard. I choose the Wraithguard because they are larger, fairly simple detail and you can only buy one pose! This guy has a pectrol type brestplate and I suspect that the he should have a continuous one. However I think that this will look a little more interesting. Here is the progress so far.

Truck

2009-03-28T20:42:00.000-07:00

I've been working on a truck for a while now. The structure is made from the left over bits of spruce. The body is styrene sheets and the wheels were looted form old toys. The plans follow the layout printed in one of the White Dwarf magazines. I still have to add the gunner with weapon and the driver. I'm still not sure that the truk is finished. But for now it's playable.

Avatar

This it the Avatar that I sculpted. Hes a bit of an experiment as hes not entierly made from epoxy putty. I used some Scuply for the rune armour on his chest. His wrist guards shoulder plates and helmet details are made from cardboard treated with super glue. I found that soaking cardboard in superglue turnes it into a very hard substance.

Gobsmasher

2009-03-08T14:19:00.000-07:00

I made this Gobsmasher about three years ago.

Basically it's made from old CD cases, which I belive are made from a clear form of styrene. I found that it's a really workable material. Curved surfaces are a bit tricky and hence I usually try and design models that don't require them.

I've rently updated it. This means taking off the riverts, which have been replaced with strips and smaller riverts.

Here are some pictures that were taken during construction.
