Viruk Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Can't beat that with OSL, I really like the creativity here and look forward to seeing the final effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergoth Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Wow that's amazing! One of these days I'd love someone to draw a diagram outlining how the hell they do these projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Awesome work there Demonn! How easy was it to get the wires routed through the legs? Space marine dreadnoughts were not overly easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 remarkably easy. will do the tutorial in a couple of days, once the thing is done... currently, the base is done and painted. and the model needs a couple more layers and detailing... the goal is to do it tomorrow...

Demonn Agram Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 as promised... this mini arrived a few days ago and I did it for my buddy. Once it arrived I changed my mind about my Peterdita Challenge in Wyrd Plastics over on Wamp forum adn decided against the tree in favour of Rail Golem.. these are the sprues (thought I'd show them if anyone is interested): I assembled the legs and put wires through them using a pin vice. Since the body is made out of two pieces and hollow in the middle - I decided to put an LED inside to act as the furnace: once the wires were connected and the plastic parts glued: Surprisingly little effort is needed to drill it and put everything in place. I used a white LED that I painted red (as it emmitts more light than a normal red LED) and I painted the inside yellow Once it was closed: with the base and other limbs and chimneys: and the finished product (first time I used pigments - on the beam he's holding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgraz Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nice work Demon. The pigment really looks good and makes the entire piece look more "realistic". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 That's the best Rail Golem I've seen so far and I don't know what can be done to beat it, fantastic stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Liking the "pain-train" Great idea with the led! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfrench Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 So I totally used your idea for the LED, it was brilliant! For those in the US, I was easily able to find everything I needed at RadioShack for around $25 (would have been less but I didn't have any electrical wiring). Thank you for the inspiration and motivation to take my modeling skills to a level I didn't think was possible :Powerful_Puppet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonn Agram Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) next up: two projects I'm doing to raise some funds to get some Malifaux terrain (BattleFlag buildings) first project I'm doing is for a competition - Wamped III, a unit of ratling snipers (which I'll be selling afterwards). anyway, here are the fellas on their bases: I then did some paintwork on the bases and they are pretty much done... ..well apart from the flock/static grass and some barbed wire both of which will go on after I paint the ratlings themselves Next project, I'm doing with Gujozec since both of us are in the same gaming club and we both love Malifaux, but most of all, both of us love to paint minis. So when the opportunity to make some cash arose, we jumped on board. Our club recently bought the Dark Vengence 40k starter for the wargaming school we hold. The box was the one with the LE Interogator chaplain. We decided to let the kids learn to paint on the normal minis and that Gujozec and I would paint the LE mini and sell it. The money we get, will go be spent for getting cool terrain for our Malifaux games. We know we can get: we are hoping for this Getting this would be awesome: And this is waaay too good to even hope for: anyway, enough rambling... we decided I'll do the base and she'll do the painting of the mini. I want to put a little oomph into the base itself, so I decided to put some electricity in there in form of an LED. I would replace the 25mm base for a 40mm base and make a nice scenic base. The mini will be detachable from the base and will come with the 40mm scenic and a normal 25mm base - for easier gaming if the future buyer would want to game with the model. I'll use a normal white LED, but I will paint it yellowy red.. adding the underground bit of the base with piping: the two halves are still detachable as I still had to connect the battery housing to the base. The battery (Cr2032 3V) housing and the batteries I bought from an ebay seller. Until the housing reached me, the base remained a two-piece. then the housings for 3V battery arrived: I cut a hole in the 40mm GW base to accommodate the housing: I then proceded to solder the wires from the base to the small pins on the housing. (if any of you'll do something similar, be careful which pin to which wire you solder as the LED has a + and a - and if you connect the wrong way - it won't light) then all that was left was to glue the base with the housing to the scenic base and turn the LED on: with the sand in place.. what I do when doing sand/rubble is that I cover all of the surface in PVA glue then starting with the largest granulate I sprinkle it randomly, then with the second largest granulate I do the same and in the end I cover everything with the smallest granulate sand.. and then I started painting the base: ground has been painted (just a few more details to pull out like rocks etc). next up it's the metal parts like pipings and the lamp-post. I still am not sure how to paint the fence there, ideas? Edited January 7, 2013 by Demonn Agram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adary Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bah. After you painted the ground it doesn't look like a cookie anymore I still like it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 a little update, I glued the wires to the post to make it look more as part of the post: ..and the post is now partially painted. detailing and highlights still to go...

Darios Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 the "ulan"thingie on the wall seems kinda out of place... i'd leave that away i guess... the rest is just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 thanks. the "ulan"thingy comes from the Ravenwing upgrade sprue so should go quite well with the Interrogator chaplain or hwatever he is called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darios Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Jeah i know that ^^ But it seems like... well out of place... it gives me the impression: "well just another thing that looks like Dark Angels and was lying arund in the bitsbox" it serves no puropse there on this little wall, it looks like a random addition and it doesn't really "blend in" to the scene... the wall itself, the lampost and the Capter Insignia on the floor are all coherent and make sense... this bannerthing does not... hard to explain... it just looks like it doesn't belong there and thus irritates me...

Demonn Agram Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 ok. don't get irritated *grin* I was thinking I'd do some OSL on the bloody thing once I get the mini from Gujozec. The beak will be just around the smoke comming from the mini.. and it'll hold some barbed wire on top of the small wall.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darios Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 aaah. not that's something! good. just skip the mewling about the fency post and get on with business! We're all waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
