Imperial Guard -or sort of

That took quite a while. Now we have valentine and i post a Spike with sort of a gun. That's timing. An it's even worse, he had to be finished last July. After all, he is on his way to his new home. Wich means i have a lot of pictures of a good paintjob, but i decided to wait until he arrived. Maybe in a week or so.

For Tabletop gamers:
I build him of following bits:
- a imperial guard torso and legs
- the arms of a impeial flamethrower
- a tau backpack
- a tau pulse rifle

Glue the Torso and the legs, then cut the knees out and glue the shoes on the remaining legs. Cut off the toe-caps. Then it's time for sculpting the leg armour and the feet new. Best way to do it is from inside out. Start with the deepest part like the feet and end with the kneepads. Cut more space between his legs out and the jacket of. Put a pice of whire in his but for the tail. Sculpt the tail and a new jacket.

Cut the flamethrower of the arm, you need only the grip. Cut the pulse riffle a bit, right after the ball in the barrel. rasp the ball of and glue the remanings on the grip. Cut the elbow of, yust like the legs. Sculpt a new gun and glue it to the torso. Make some sculpting on the other hand until it fits.
Sculpt the head and the shoulder armour.
Glue the backpack. I used some kind of guitar string as a cable.
Make him a nice base, yust as i did with plastic card and remaining parts like the flamethrower tube or buy one.
Ready to paint. It took me several weeks without the paintjob. And a lot of corrections after or during the painting.

EDIT: How many WIPs are on EQD? I was really surprised that he was in the craft section even without a single bit of paint on him.

owns the original design of My little Pony and is the reason why i'm a Brony now. And i don't regret it!
