Well well what a break that's been.

Update:

USMC troopers in basecoat.

change of plan re: ODST's:

Take a number of metal space marine scouts, pig iron heavy trooper visored helmets, a bit of greenstuff for knee pads and two hours of xfactor droning on in the background and me wanting to do something constructive and waddaya get?

Pictures later today that's what!

Worth the wait though.

[Unforgiven]

Cant wait to see what you got!

Oh, balls. The pictures aren't working, well the one of the chopper on the stand and those screencaps from the Halo 3 live-action video being the exceptions.

Photobucket updated so the old pics should now work. Including:

Copplestone USCM
GW cadian conversions, (were going to be ODST but now reassigned as USCM)
E4M (dropped from the project but headswopped with the kolony heads now near future paramiltary/police).





New pics of the new ODST's later this am, though still in two minds as to whether I need to do more with the helmets to smooth the 'hell jumpers' out a little more.

Hand's up all of those who have cycled 32 miles today, done the shopping, cleaned the kitched and just cooked tea and done the washing up?

(Oh just me then!  )

I'll get them done when I get a minute.

sheesh! 

[Commander Vyper]

Ok:

i) Very WIP
ii) More filing, losing of skulls, modification of weapons and GS'ing to complete
iii) It'll stop Dewback nagging! 
iv) Much more to come.
v) Excellent Pig iron APC in the background, will become part of the force eventually.
vi) All to be based properly.
vii) kickstand for the HB still to locate and HB to be further modified.

So then:

ODST's

Metal space marine scouts with headswop and GS'ed kneepads, more mods to undertake. Also thrown in the pig iron sniper,(probably end up USCM) backpack added and peaked 'crap' hat swoped out for helmet. The pigiron helmets really work well with the scout armour, they are definately a good 'nod' to the halo characters that inspired me.

Sniper:


Shotgun:


Squad Leader: (Probably swop out the knife and bolt pistol for dual hand weapons).


Heavy weapon specialist:


Trooper: (Need to lose the skull on the bolter and probably play about with the bolter too, would weapon swap but much harder with lead).


USCM Sniper: (first cut, will modify weapon).


Still need to work out how much more I modify the helmets, keep you posted.

Lovin' this!

Well you did say you'd post the pictures! I may not have been cycling but I've been casting the gaming board to be used at BLAM this weekend all day.

They look great. Thought about using the new plastic scouts at all? The main issue with the plastic ones were the heads, not an issue with a swap

Ta.

I did, but then again why spend £12-£14 when I didn't need to, (I know the plastic would have been an easier swop and cut etc but where's the challenge eh? 

[Dewbakuk]

If you already had the metals then yeah, fair enough. I've never actually held the plastics so didn't know if there was another difference. I'm probably going to steal this idea then

[Bako]

Oh, there they are.

[dodge]

I think that they are going to look just fab when finally painted.

but well done for being truly fit and excellent around the house first 
 
you have all the right priorities although not necessarily in the right order

Healthy in mind and body, essential to make up for the hours hunched over little bits of lead and plastic!

Will post up base coated USCM later.
