Chaos Space Marine Warpsmith – WIP 3

So much metal!

I think this is going to take far longer than anticipated but I hope the results will be worth it.

Well, that was a bit of a toughy!

After a good hour of dryfitting, blu-tac fitting and finally hope-the-hell-this-works super glue fitting I finally have the main body of the Warpsmith finished.#

The backpack top needed a tiny bit of Green Stuff to fill an unsightly gap, but otherwise it worked quite well.

As you can see, the bottom of the dude’s axe still needs more straightening but I think a couple more blasts of the hairdryer should do it.  I’ve also left the base off as well as the four Mechatendrils which will be painted separately else I’d go crazy.

Well, that wasn’t nearly as bad as I’d feared. It took me a little under an hour to turn this:

To this:

I think I’ll need to straighten the axe some more, but that’s enough for today. What really impressed me though is that the only air bubble was on the sole of the left foot, and that’ll be covered by the base.

Not really looking forward to building this but I can’t wait to get started on the painting stage.

Oh, boy!

As the ink dries on my soon-to-be-completed Dark Angels Assault Marines, I’ve finally settled on my next project, this!

I bought the Warpsmith from the Glasgow Games Workshop in early 2013 while I was through attending a training course for work and the box has been sitting on the shelf, mocking me. If you can filter out the insane amounts of flash, you’ll see that there are only twelve pieces.

How hard can this be?
