    Default Show us your finecast conversions

    So with the new finecast models being really easy to work with, I thought a thread dedicated to showcasing what you guys have been able to do with this new material could be really cool.

    So let's share our conversions with this new material. Let's see what can be done with it

    Deal.

    So far this is what I've got convertion-wise (though I have shown them off before...)







    Unfortunately, between being mad busy at work and trying to move house I haven't gotten round to painting them yet, but hopefully in the next couple of months I migth get on to them (after Armies on Parade is at least a full entry!)

    As soon as the [url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/231892-.html?m=2]Finecast Skulltaker[/url] hit the stores I grabbed one to try my hand at a Juggernaut mounted conversion. Cutting the new resin Skulltaker was easy as anticipated and the finished model is nice and lightweight. I used a modeling knife to remove the left lower leg from inside the cloak, being careful to save the left foot as intact as possible. I then sculpted a new lower leg around a metal pin using Green Stuff with the left foot attached to the end of the pin. I also sculpted the back half of the anklet and the dewclaw for the left foot since those details were implied but did not actually exist. I painted Skulltaker in mostly dark tones, Chaos Black and Red Gore. The Juggernaut was painted in a brassy yellow using Burnished Gold to set off the dark colours of the rider. Skulltaker's spines, sword and the base were painted to evoke heat and fire. The Skull White skulls on the cloak also serve to brighten the overall look of the model. With Skulltaker leaning forward in the saddle his cloak appears to flow out behind him in the wind as his steed carries him full tilt into battle.

    Correction, those are only Dark Eldar bits. Left arm is the wych impaler arm, the flag on back is from the warrior box, the blades on the scepter are from the reaver jet bikes, the face is from the raider set. the balls (in hand and on end of scepter) are the joint pieces from the talos/ cronos box.
