[Artoo]

Dorgs, have you tried this stuff before?
Argh, it's not letting me link the page!
Go to this link, then scroll down to "tutorials", then "head shrinking".

I was going to try the acetone shrinking technique on my vinyl head when I found this during a search.

[Crimsonbob]

Hey dorgmal Snow he coming out awesome!!! Love the way he looks so far. What's the head look like painted? or did I miss that pic? the purity seals look great!!! can you give him a grenade or 2?

 

[Jediguy]

lol thanks Mark but i haven't used an online messenger service for ages!! Any chance you use facebook?

Gonna start trimming the parts today. Mark you really need to redesign them for predator bodies!!

These figures look amazing.
I saw an ad for a Warhammer Space Marines videogame earlier and it looked like these figures in full motion. Amazing job on them.

 

[DeadLeaves]

Yeah, I'm keen to see how Space Marine turns out, should be cool.

Great work guys, they all look excellent!! Love me some space marines, never played 40K but I did waste a fair amount of time playing the old Space Hulk DOS game. "Fear not our enemy - for they are an abomination".

Cbob and Dorgmal= kitbasher wizards!!..i shall have a space marine in my collection oneday soon!!

 

[Jediguy]

Hey Mark, mate I think you forgot to include the upper arm pieces!! Also I forgot if you mentioned it but does the kit include the belt?

Finally, how on earth did you guys stick the shoulder bells on?

This is so exciting!

 

[Crimsonbob]

For the shoulders i used some pleather and made straps going from 1 side to the other under the chest armour.

 

[Artoo]

what bodies are you guys using for these kits?

Here's my Buck body with mods. Once he's covered with jumpsuit and armor, you'd never know. I picked up a bunch of these bodies for $1 a piece years ago, so now I finally have a project to use them on. I built up the thigh area because he looked physically so weak in that area (big gap between the legs does not look good).

Hey Dorgs, this is the vinyl head I'm wanting to shrink.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

AHHH bum hats Sorry Shyam!! For the upper arm you can use some 3/4 inch waste pipe from a plumbing shop.
I attached the pads with some elastic, easy

I will shot a pic in a bit.

Artoo... I NEED to get some of those ball joint pegs but they are out of stock I think.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Just a wee post to show the elastic straps on the shoulder pads.

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

Having a wee spot of bother updating my website tonight.. but I will do my bestest to post some pics.

ElCalva... your Marine is nearly ready to enter the Warp ...



Wanted to post some pics of the head with helm off... I have fixed his wee skirt on and popped on the frag grenades. Just the bolter to make now and to weather up the Backpack and the lower half

[Dorgmal Snow]

I want to make a base for mine so I have been casting up a few skulls

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

I have also moved the pads up on the Blood angel and lowered his head. I want to get him finished this week if I can. Not sure if I want to keep him though
