Post by: Blackwolf on 11 April 2014, 08:31:22 AM
Still a little to be done on the cyborg ;) ,then Pulp Girl herself and a fancy base;

 Some modifications to the mecha(it has a cockpit too,when I 've finished it will get a look in :)). Swopped the gun out as the kit gun had such an oversize bore that it would probably only get one shot...A common design error of GWs vehicles,have a look at a Leman Russ,bloody silly lol

That's pretty dang awesome!

I really like the fact you tried (and succeeded) to make the knight look 'realistic' instead of covered in heraldry and skulls.

It now looks like a cross between MaK and 40K, with maybe a bit of anime thrown in for good measure, and it works too! 8)

Very cool indeed...

What a fine choice of colurs, the beast looks spot on! Absolutely great work on it - I second that it is not a bad idea to replace the usual bronze and polished steel and bright heraldic colours with a proper field modification to adapt the users needs. Very well done Guy!

Bloody brilliant, mate.
 :-* :-* :-*


I have been waiting for this with some eagerness, I can tell ya....and you do not disappoint.
A 'proper' paintjob on a GW kit really does make such a difference and swapping out the gun makes it look so much more believable instead of like something that Mattel would release.

Well done, Guy.
An inspired and excellent bit of model-making, sir.
 :D


Looking forward to Stage II.....

Holy cow, this is an AWESOME model and paintjob. Perfect for the job and I like the brown look. Reminds me of the big robot from the Judge Dredd movie. Top job man, really superb.

By the power of grey skull!  :o

 :-*  :-*  :-*

Very nice Wolfie, very nice indeed. Like others have said, it's a fine PJ of an impressive model. I hope pulp girl like her mech, and doesn't get too big a head over all her associates in cheap Ferraris and Alfas.

I Will look forward to weak knee'd James's approach as well. But after salute and his other malarkey when will it be done? ;P

Cheers
Matt

Amazing work - easily up to your usual high standards! Great job on the corrosion technique.

Can't wait to see it finished off. What still needs to be added? Are you planning any additional small splashes of colour (unit markers, slogans, badges, etc.) for contrast? Please don't take that as critical of what's a wonderful job!

Love that Dave has actually created a PA profile.  lol

Nice one Guy! Looks much better with the Dust guns and the colour scheme is great. I love the idea that it's Pulp Girl's ride too! The baddies have no chance.

Fantastic and lovely work, mate! :-*
I love the mute colours and the brown, it really lifts the model in another way than the usual flare colours :)
