Space Hulk - Hirst Arts build - Laboratorium Malum Plantae
« on: December 04, 2011, 07:20:45 PM »
After nearly two years, my 3rd edition Space Hulk build is complete. All the actual casting and construction was finished a couple months ago, aside from some scenario specific elements such as the corrupted marines and the 'unknown organisms'. I didn't feel like I could show it off without having finished the terminators and genestealers- which I just completed yesterday. Painting the new terminators made me miserable beyond words... and I didn't care for the new 'stealers (I don't like the integrated architecture) so I used older versions for them.

holy crap....

I am a huge Space Hulk fan and have all games (too many copies each :P ) and have been dreaming to get a 3D board one day. It's a huge project to get a good looking board together and you have nailed it perfectly. Very very inspiring, would be amazing to play with a board like that :)

High praises to your work!  :o  :o  :-*  :-*

This is a board anybody can be proud to own and play with.

Your use of corrugater cardboard at the edges is very clever and looks extremely well for such a simple solution.  :D

The golden gargoyles (pic 4) are from hirst arts molds too?

Thanks for sharing your SPLENDID work.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Fabulous  :-* :-*

My carefully selected classic terminators and 'stealers which I sourced from ebay to go with the new board edition keep staring at me accusingly in just their undercoat.
