To chop or not to chop

Below is a 1995 vintage  GW priest mini. Now do i chop his left arm, feet and head off or stick him on ebay and use the profit to buy more random legs arms and torsos for converting purposes. Plus I've an ancient nid that im meaning to ebay plus some other randoms from the stash when i dig them out lol.

I've an idea to use him as an inquisitor if i make new feet for him a nice big gun and a more suitable head or just flogging him. What say you all?

Preacher it is then.

Thanks for the advice chaps I've already done some major green stuffing to get him to this point. Also added gauntlets to skid lid guy with the left overs and stabbed myself in the tonge with my scalpel lol.

The i seem to have lost the plot post

Below or maybe above im not sure how this will post (on phone ) are pics of my latest endeavor.
Very wip at the moment but it seems I've lost the plan i had for this guy. First idea was for an accolite maybe old savant, but the head changed then the hammer turned up and im now not sure what he is. Think some more gs and doodads may see him become an inquisitor.
What do you guys think. Keep going for an inquisitor or not right and try for something else?
Also converted him a stylish laz gun that now interfears with the hammer.

Inquisitor warband update

 Here's the model i converted for one of my Inquisitors. Still some work to be done on him paint wise and may scratch up a slender chain sword to replace his Katana sword. He was originally a Triad Boss i got at the MK wargames show from Second City. I've snagged a pic bit dont seem to be able to add it on to this post so ill try to edit it in later.

The upper half is triad boss and the lower half if you havn't guessed is SM scout. I sculpted in his coat and tiedied up the hack job i had to do on him.

My thinking behind him is that he's a young-ish Inquisitor still finding his feet and only has a small retinue that follow him. The red velvet jacket is woven with ballistic material and also covers his body armour. The boots and combats are IG surplus as he sees himself as a lead from the front kind of guy and isn't afraid of getting into action when leading his team. He still has teh outlook of an interigator and has not yet found the balance to know when to stand back and let his team work a case initially and when to lead his team directly.

 Also love the rebreather mask on him, may add a small rebreather pack to his back to finish off his look.

All C+C welcome.

Dont forget the comp check out the post a couple of posts back untill i edit in a link. Also if your a new follower then just leave a comment to say hi as the followers list is still broken on my blog and others from what i can learn from blogger help.

Managed to add the original pic of the triad boss i used to make the inquisitor. Major bit of frankensurgery (tm) to remove his lower half and resculpt the jacket but well worth it in the end. I did have second thoughts when i was sculpting the jacket it looked ProperShite but after a grey primer was added he looked ok.

New photographic tent and inq28 conversions

Tent in all it's glory

Here's the new photo tent and some shots using the different backgrounds. Not overly impressed with my first attempts, i dont think the light was strong enough or maybe another one at the side.

Also need to play with the cameras settings and maybe get advise from the guys at sfm some are excellent photographers so will have to pick there brains but any suggestions in the comments would be more than welcome.

Its ment to fit in that black bag, not gonna happen.

  It packs down very small but thats a job for the wife i'm rubbish at that.


Below are the 4 different backgrounds that come supplied with the tent with a quicky convertion for my Inq28 warband more on her later.

red background supposedly :)

Just a quick note about followers, firstly welcome along to my 2 new followers and secondly it seems i've no way of knowing who my followers are anymore. It seems to have been disabeled on other peoples blogs also. Any ideas when /if they are coming back? i do like to visit the blogs of those who follow me and leave the odd comment from time to time so this is a bit annoying.

Quik hobby update before tea

Well life has been unbelevable busy at the moment, Wedding season is eating up all my free time at the weekends but hopefully this will settle down soon (tho it dose supply me with more Champagne corks than i know what to do with lol.

On the hobby front the Inq28 project is plodding along nicely I've become a nomadic modeller again as i can't get at my desk at the moment. The piles of assorted crud littering my desk and around my desk has finally defeated me and a major autumn clean is requierd and i've no time to do this.

We also got a photo tent from evilbay for a tenner and very impressed we are too (that me and the wife, she intends to use it for her craft thingys also) it comes with no less than 4 different backgrounds and a side zip for getting pics of glass and other shiney things. I'll do a proper review some time soon-ish.

Also in the post an order from Let The Dice Decide an online bits shop. Ordererd late wednesday night and arrived Sat morning, well packerged in bubble wrap and everything accounted for yum, i do love the little bits that can turn a bleh model into something cool. Funny thing is i've probably been workinhg within 30 mins drive from where thay are based these last 6 months lol.

It's also 2 weeks till the Brampton model show and its full steam ahead finishing off variouse builds but after that i'm going to consentrate on inq28 and the post apoc comp build. Going with Baron Radhoffens post apocaliptic flying circus first. :)

And finally it's Talk like a Pirate day on 19th Sept so i exspect some arrrges and avasts and ye scurvy dogs from the blogworld.
