Tigrazors builds - "Birds of Prey", 10/08/2015

[Duke Maddog]

Remarkable work Tigrazor! Well done!

[Stuart]

Two more lovely figures - beautiful work. I especially like the soilder fighting off the wolf - the pose if very good. both are painted very realisticly.

Are these bought figures, or the result of your scratch building?

[tigrazor]

Sorry for the late answer! The figure of the Squasher itself was bought, but for more realism slightly rebuild - I replaced the throwing item (I dont know the exact name) for a spear - much more conclusive.

The other one - Neiran Acolyte - was a present from another modeller from another forum. Hes admin there and send it to me for free. Another one will follow, and Im doing a review of both. So simple.


New project, new challenges - a nice little inbetween project was the GW IronStrider. Its fun. I used some spare PE parts here and there, drilled some holes, used my beloved cog wheels and so forth. SciFi modelling can be THAT exciting - no rivet counting, just pure modelling fun.

I call that vignette "Pigs Of War" btw.





little bit of WIP:












Done:

That's a beauty - I really like your attention to detail and the way you add character to your builds. The build and the painting are masterful - the sort of really good stuff you used to get in 'White Dwarf'.

I love the idea of mixing GW stuff with the WWI era, or any historical era. Years ago I built a GW Space Marine Terminator Squad in OD with star markings as if they were a bit of WWII Allied Armour - Not with any great success but it's an interesting idea.

Another nice mix could be this kind of walker, or a dreadnaught, in a Napoleonic era uniform...

Anyway good stuff - Keep em coming! And great stuff with those review builds - looking forward to seeing the next one!

Many thanks, Port!

As always, there are many projects running at the same time - a viking bust will follow.

For some months now I collect the "Warhammer:Visions" magazine - veeery inspiring stuff there.

I'll have to have a look out for that one!

I just love looking at tigrazor's steampunk stuff.

[tigrazor]

Hehehe... thank you. There was a time when I said "No more GW stuff". Why? Well, most of it is not my kind of stuff, and sometimes the details are a bit rough n easy. Maybe that has something to do with the war gaming character or so, I dunno.

Of course I like steampunk stuff, but there are only a few kits from GW which are a good basic kit. Until I saw the IronStrider and the Imperial Knight. And you know what?! Theres a bigger vehicle like that that is supposed to serve in the same fictional army:
