DGC Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Here's the first pics of my Razorback I had built the main hull previously but never finished it so the challenge seemed to give me the impetus to finish and paint it instead of it gathering fingerprints or dust. Now that I have finished (?) it , it will probably end up as a transport for an HQ or some long fangs - not sure yet The extra armour was made using a second body from a Rhino. The studs etc were filed flat whilst the back was cut flat and the wheels removed using a razor-saw. I cut the exhausts out from the panels so that they would go over the ones on the existing bodywork and the added sections of imperial track guard as protection with the remaining exhausts behind them. Originally this was an attempt at extra armour without the cost of FW bits. For £10 you can get a complete Rhino (on the internet), less than the FW parts, and with some effort I think it has turned out alright - and all the other Rhino bits have gone straight in the bits box - bargain The front armour and rear door plate are just more Rhino parts cut to fit. The gap between the original body and new armour was filled with 2mm plastic box section Once the armour was finished I re-studded it using punched plasticard rivets and added the rear vents by cutting up the turret mounting plate that comes in the Rhino box http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0453.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0456.jpg I managed to find some Wolf shields on e--y and them seem to fit with the Nightrunners chapter of wolves that I collect, so on they went http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0454.jpg And finally the gunner. He is an attempt at making him look just a bit different to the others. The binocular arm is made from four seperate pieces with a set of imperial guard binoculars in his hand. Lastly I added a pistol grip to the storm bolter to finish it off. All the other bits are standard GW parts floating 'round my box of spares http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0455.jpg Tonight I shall wash it and tommorrow should see it fully undercoated Catcha - DGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 wow thats a sweet conversion the turret man looks wicked <_< and the extra armour is convincing too not a fan of the double set of head lughts but.. meh still looks brilliant i dont follow where you got the wolf shields from though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barek Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Owww! Nice one. It looks HEAVY! Like it's got mass. Very nice model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGC Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Many thanks for the positive comments i dont follow where you got the wolf shields from though (ssshhhh - eBay) The shields are OOP Goblin Wolf Rider shields. I just happen to like them and Logan's chapter symbol is the wolf howling at the moon. I figured something along the lines of rich gold shield rim, white centre and black wolf Catcha - DGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGC Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well it seems like ages since I posted any progress, so long in fact I think I may be wearing the 'banner of shame' soon unless I get my finger out. Maybe I went about this the wrong way but I have finished my 'bonus' Grey Hunters before doing the Razorback. Only time will tell if that is my downfall. The 'standing' Grey Hunter in the second pic has magnetised weapons for maximum flexability goodness :spam: So, here's the pics, and yes, I know I still need to do the bases :lol: . Hope you enjoy http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/Dreadnought%20wip/DSCN0488.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/Dreadnought%20wip/DSCN0487.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/Dreadnought%20wip/DSCN0486.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/Dreadnought%20wip/DSCN0485.jpg The Razorback is now fully undercoated and I have started paint on the gunner but not enough yet to warrent a picture As always, C&Cs are welcome Catcha - DGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGC Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Here is the second lot of pics, mainly to comply with the rules, but does go to show my slooooow progress. Saying that, I only get to paint in my lunch breaks so maybe not so bad after all. The gunner is nearly finished - just the tooth necklace to go on the upper torso. The cupola neads to be finished but I am doing that at the same time as the hull, likewise the side doors and top hatch so as to keep the tones the same. The lascannons need to be finished followed by the main hull and then the details like headlamps etc. Hopefully will get this finished on time http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0492.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0491.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0494.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0493.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0490.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0489.jpg As always, C&Cs are welcome Catcha - DGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ra1stl1n Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Where's the sleeping bag in this pic from? http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0456.jpg Also the rope going alongside the left side of the rhino its GS or just found somewhere?

Brother Corvus Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Where's the sleeping bag in this pic from? Also the rope going alongside the left side of the rhino its GS or just found somewhere? TY and really great job on both the marines and the rhinos I think the sleeping bag comes from the Imperial Guard tank spure, and the rope comes in the rhino/razorback box. Havent opened a new tank box open in a while, so Im not too sure. Also, awesome work on the razorback. Really like the Grey hunter "flying death" pose. ^_^ Looks very effective. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I love the way your Space Wolves turn out DGC, probably my favorite Sons of Fenris on the board. Good job on the freehand shoulder plate painting, it looks nice. I just wish you would post more of your stuff! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGC Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 First off, thanks to all for the positive comments Ra1stl1n, the sleeping bag thingy is from the new style Imoerial Gaurd tank upgrade sprue and the tow rope is standard in the Razorback box set g0atmilk. Thanks. He was supposed to show someone taking a plasma round to the upper chest. Probably instant death but you can never tell with these marine type chaps. It was great fun to model, just drilled a 3mm hole in the torso and added a bumpy GS ring to try and immitate melted body Anyway, the main reason for this post is to add some better pics. Now the pressure is off I have given the Razorback a coat of Purity Seal and took some less rushed pics showing more details http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0497.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0498.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0499.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0500.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0501.jpg The moon part of the decals in the pics has been painted over with heavily thinned Fortress Grey and then Skull White to make it look more moony and help hide the excess clear decal that always accompanies transfers http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0503.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0502.jpg Catcha - DGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimfoe Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 As always, very nice models. I really like the way you paint the wolves. Very much in the manner that I strive for. Clean with a second edition feel. You are able to add a touch of realism that I like. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGC Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 At last I have finished my GH pack. Although they were for a diorama I added them as an 'extra' to this challenge just to get them painted. Now that the diorama is finished I have re-based them to honour my 'additional' pledge http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0545.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0546.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s47/DGC_album/LPC%20Space%20Wolf%20Razorback/DSCN0547.jpg Hope you like DGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
