SDKFZs Mechanised Guards

[Colonel Jacka]

And let me tell you they are worth a look. The Japanese have a real different bent on the world of 40K! Amazing painting. I picked up some Bretonnian Squires there when I last visited.

[Klaus, not Santa]

Cool - have fun in Japan.
I look forward to your updates for this week then

[SDKFZ]

OK, back from Japan. Thanks for your comments, Mates !

Started work on my ogrynmobile. Part rhimera, part repressor.
Heres the start with the standard rhimera at the back.


side pics.




Also started painting my second tauros.


Got me something new for the supportboys.


Looks like ive made a good start now i just need to finish all of this too.........

Ogrynmobile; very cool idea, excellent choice of parts.

[Colonel Jacka]

The Lad's will be happy. They need lots of room!

[Klaus, not Santa]

uh! That Ogrynmobile sound great - good start so far
So how was Japan?
Cheers
Klaus

[Vimes]

WOW! That Ogrynmobile is a cool idea! And the first WIP pics are more than promissing - as per usual!
Looking forward to see the progress on that! Please be warned, i might nick that idea for my Allies for my Sharks!

[SDKFZ]

@ Ash: Thanks, Mate ! Glad to hear that from you

@ Colonel Jacka: Oh yes they do ! Hope this onell keep them happy.

@ Klaus: Thanks ! Japan was awesome ! If i cand find the time and money im going back there, some day. Had one small earthquake and a typhoon, so im pleased
They also have all these wounderful parts for their gundam kits. You get a small bag for about 1.8 Euro. Guess if i bought some ?
Do like both the people and the food so i was very pleased withour trip. (My daughter bought about 10-12 kgs of manga ! )

I just went to Tokyo and Kyoto, but anythig you want to know more about, just pm me.

@ Vimes: Thanks ! Have done some more work. Basic rhino done stared on adding all the chimera stuff to the front and blending the to models together.
Hope to post some pics. later this evening (if i can find the time.).

About that nicking, please feel free to use the idea, but please post the result here so we ( I ) can see how it looks

Right, here are the pics. of the ogrynmobile, sofar.


front


side detailshot


I added some rhino viewports to go with the ones on the repressor part. Still alot to do. Side armour for a start. Hull gun. Tracks.
Think its coming along nicely (sorry Jacka ).

[Vimes]

Great! It starts t look the part!
The feral feeling it conveys with that front armour and overal look is perfect for a Ogrynmobile!
This is definitively going to be nicked! As with the pics, going to do as wished!

[Colonel Jacka]

Needs some side armour. The FW stuff is good. This is my Rhino / Chimera with FW sides!

[SDKFZ]

Those look great, Jacka. As ill try to make this one match my other rhimera, i think ill go for the homemade ones on this one too.

Have done the basic side armour, now i need to add the details. Also added a hull heavy bolter.
Then i have to raid my hobbystore for some more stuff/equipment to hang on the sides.

I really hate peeps who came up with this modification, lol.
It feels like rape to me , sorry but I cannot like this one,
I have one Annihilator myself and two Valdor's, so I do like
the base model.

Sorry, I have been having a bit of a dip, financial and
motivational wise.. thats why the silence

[SDKFZ]

Guess you cant please everyone, can you ?

I think tanks need a turret, tankdestroyers dont. But hey, thats me.

Hope you get back on the "sunnyside" soon, Mate !

[Moridrex]

Yeh can't please everyone.

I personally do not care for that chassis, but that doesn't stop me from admiring the awesome work you've put into converting and painting it. Good job SDKFZ!

[Colonel Jacka]

Mate some people just don't get IG! It's suposed to be ugly but funtional.

[Ash]

What's the prob with the way that tank looks? I must be having a slow moment and missing something . . .

Personally I think it's rather cool, I particularly like the crew interaction.

[Moridrex]

There is no problem with the way *that* tank looks. SDKFZ added his personal touch of awesome to it! And yes the crew interaction rocks.

[Rhaivaen]

There is a difference between thinking something about his modelling skills and qualities and the actual concept he has made,
the quality of the conversion is superb, but the concept itself I cannot like.
Different people have different tastes, regardless of it being functional and ugly imperial machinery or not.
I like most if not all of his other builds and the painting is of good quality, so it's not like I am saying all of his stuff is crap or something

[Vex]

....malcaruss, now with crew.





/ SDKFZ

Given the Universe I too am surprised an unfavorable comment is made about this version of conversion.
I think the basic MALCADOR is silly and the battle field would be littered with their wrecks shot through the rear or with broken tracks.
But that's just me. My dice don't roll well and sometimes my conversions when complete are best thrown at the wall.

What I find interesting is the little subtle items like the curved bit in front of the tank commander and the thing it goes into.
I contemplate putting vents or hatches on things and they just don't look right. On this convesion they do. I like it.
The crew is cool too.
