You might remember (or not) this post about an
Alpha Legion Lord on Palanquin. I already told then that it was my intention to recover the original essence of it. I mean this, Lord of Ultramarines sitting on his throne:
 |
| Hey! Can't you knock before opening the WC door? |
The illustration is taken from the first 'Index Astartes' section ever published, which appeared in White Dwarf #97. Well, a couple of things have changed in the Ultramarines since then, but I'm not talking today about Master of the Ships Christo Columbine, Master of Sanctity Tow Takka-Chow or half-blood Chief Librarian Astropath Illiyan Nastase ;). Today I'll just focus on this set. After some work I came along with the pieces:
 |
| No, they're not floating in space |
With just two foamboard pieces I got this:
 |
| Deluxe WC |
 |
| Come on, he even has a constipated face |
 |
| No, seriously, who did build the audience room in a toilet? Is Macragge not big enough? |
Now I have to find the patience to prepare some flags for the wall or any other trophy, but for the moment I simply wanted to have the display, as the minis were rolling all over my workbench. Now I'm moving on other things, but I might come back on this project anytime.
As these pics are not so much, I'm giving you a few things more ;). Nothing special... or maybe it is. Two old terminator armour marines:
 |
| Mk.II. Hard to believe this is a GW model, huh? |
 |
| Mk.III. Different again... |
Despite the anatomical issues regarding arms (poor guys in those armours) I find these models somehow appealing, as strange as it may sound, specially the turtleback guy. I've been looking for a Mk.I over eBay, but prices are still out of my budget. I'd like to assemble a five men squad with these old armours, but I may have to wait a bit, I'm afraid. Haven't lost hope yet...
También te faltaría ponerle algún lagarto-mascota a sus pies. Y sí parece que esté en el WC.
ReplyDeleteJeje, sí, tengo que darle algún retoque más, pero de momento me sirve para calmar mi ansia de tener el diorama :P
DeleteVery good ! I bet you could make a chain hang just nest to the toilet seat so that he can flush his wrath on alien spaceships...
ReplyDeleteI do have some of the parets to make this and You just gave me the will to make some little diorama out of it.
Your old terminators are stunning, I din't jnow these 2 pieces actually. Do you also have the first terminator by Jes Goodwin (the one looking like in his drawing?)
Some good things ahead !
Haha, glad that you like it! Wanna see your ideas on this!
DeleteThese termies have their own particular charm, can't really explain it, but I actually like them. I'm looking for the model you say over eBay; prices don't look too reasonable, but it's just a matter of time that I finally buy one. Or two.
Very nice , good paint an job .
ReplyDeleteUn gran saludo .
Thank you very much! Much appreciated! :)
DeleteHey mate! Good job with that diorama! I love that old model and you've really done it justice! Maybe get a dinosaur for a trophy!
ReplyDeleteYup, you're right, I need to finish it. I'm satisfied for the moment, it eases my anxiety for having the diorama :P and I can move on more things, but I have to come back to this :)
DeleteGreat job - Deluxe WC - LOL
ReplyDelete/Hans
Hehe, it's the UltraWC, dreaded all over the Imperium!
DeleteVaya joyitas que nos enseñas día tras día. Lo peor es que cada vez me haces sentir más viejo... ;-)
ReplyDeleteTengo que cambiar la temática de vez en cuando, si no esto no va a ser un blog, ¡sino un museo! :D
Delete(I have to change themes from time to time or sonn this will be not a blog, but a museum!) :D
