-STEP BY STEP- Astra Militarum Command Chimera Pt.1

Hi all!!!

Today i want to show you how i've built and painted my Astra Militarum (... ehm... IMPERIAL GUARD 😒 ) command chimera

While i was searching for some ideas, i've noticed that someone has built his chimera with the turret on the back........

When i saw those pictures, the "miniature conversion engine" has started to work :D

LET'S GO!


I first sawn the top hull in two parts in order to move back the hole of the turret then i glued some sprue pieces to reinforce the structure and i've glued the two parts together, adding some plasticard to close the holes...

...then i made two holes to magnetize the turret and i added the engine grid using a personal computer dust filter...

PS: I used the Panzer Turret from KROMLECH

I added an autocannon and some others details and i drilled the hatch to make room for tank commander...

Then i've built the rest of the model like a normal chimera and when the main hull was completed i added track guards from Forgeworld...

I added some rivets (made with plasticard and a leather piercer) and some bags and accessories from Tamiya U.S. MILITARY EQUIPMENT SET

And that's the final result.... 😀

At last i've decided to remove the Dozer blade... ehehe

I hope you enjoyed and that will serve for some ideas 😁

See you soon for Pt.2 PAINTING !!!

-WIP- Imperial Guard Commissar #2

Hi all!

I usually buy a lot of miniatures and i leave them in the closet, until i have "modelling inspirations" :)
So in this weekend, i decided to remove the dust from my commissar and make this simple conversion.

At first i've removed his head with dremel, trying to leave the hat undamaged so it can be re used on the new face.

Then i took a standard Kolony Militia head (from Pig iron Production) and i trimmed the helmet leaving the gas mask, on which I glued the hat of the Finecast Commissar.
(I also had to rebuild some details with green stuff)

The right arm was made using a modular mechanical arm from Anvil Industry on which i glued a bolt pistol from space marines sprue.
(I covered the space between the torso and the arm using an old guitar string)

This is the result after assembling all components and after adding extra equipment.

I have to paint it as soon as possible, do not want to be summarily executed! ahaha!

Thanks for reading!!!

-WIP- Imperial Guard Company Command Veteran and Heavy Weapon

Hi all!

Now my new command squad is almost completed... They only needs some paint :)

This is a Lasgun Veteran, i wished to glue a binoculars but i thought that he was fine while was looking at the horizon, so i decided to leave his hand free :)

This is the heavy weapon team with lascannon, once painted i will add some barbed wire...

I have already started to paint them...
I'll post some photos soon!

Thanks for reading!

-WIP- Imperial Guard Company Commander and Vox Caster

Hi all!!!

I'm still working on my imperial guard...

So far in my battles i deployed the company command team of the Death Korps of Krieg but i noticed that as true scale models, they are very thin compared to Cadians so i decided to build a new command squad using the GW models because i thought they are aestetically better to see along with the rest of the army.

This is my new warlord

And that's the Vox Caster
(For the radio antennas i used some old guitar strings)

Today i will complete the Company Command squad with a Lasgun Veteran and a Heavy Weapon Team.

Thanks for reading!!!
