Outland: A Sci-Fi Project: The Baronial Rangers.. (08/11)

haha, no I think you're right.

I've been inspired to sculpt some robed bodies though - they can be tweak for all sorts then.

Yep, robes can be pretty generic.
I look forward to seeing the outcome.

I have decided to move this post about the landspeeder over here as it fits in well enough and it will be easier to update one thread rather than two.
 

When the Force Awakens came out I grabbed a couple of the Disney die-cast Speeders as they are perfect for 28mm gaming with very little effort....



I wanted to make a transport vehicle for the Baronial Troops for my Outland setting.
As I wanted all the figures to be standing in this vehicle, I pulled out the seats and headrests and then removed the gun to make more room.
This was really easy as the are just 'plugged in'. A quick pull with a pair of pliers and out they came.

I gave the vehicle a quick drybrush to help with later painting and added a few green stuff details to help change the look to something a little more 'retro'. and hopefully less 'Star Wars'....




A Baronial Guard would become a driver by the simple expedient of making a cut downwards behind the gun, removing both the gun and his hands, and a simple control unit and new hands were added. Also a new 'mask' was created to give him a slightly different look.



(I still need to finish the sleeves... but that wont take long ).



And here it is, with the driver in situ prior to painting.....




...............................

And here is the thing after painting....









.....and better pictures will be taken when it is finished.

I have painted the various crew for it but am still undecided whether or not to fix a 'leader' type in place.
I shall take pictures once it is based.

Very nice.

[Mason]

Very nice.

Thank you.
 

As I was taking a few pictures of other things earlier, I just threw the speeder down and took a couple of pics of it.
It is not finished as it needs basing and a 'passenger' but the crew are done.
Please excuse the glare, the varnish seems to be catching more light than the window actually lets in!

Paint has been slapped on the Noif Herder/Runtherd Conversion....



.....whilst another figure has been added from the pile, this time in the form of a Scribe....

Great stuff 

Love what you have done with the avian heads, might have to steal your idea and do some of my own versions in the new year, if you dont mind

Never thought of doing something along those lines with them but it works a treat and looks cool too

The herder is brilliant ,with the paint job it’s barely recognisable as the ork 

[Suber]

Fantastic. Everything is fantastic.

Thanks, Mark.
There are a few more heads to be used in a different project soon, and it should not be too long before these ones get coloured-in.
I look forward to seeing what you do too.

Thanks!
I hope he looks sufficiently different to get away with.

Thank you, sir!
