Lead Adventure Forum figure

“Hi Everyone.
When the Prof passed LAF to me, one of my first thoughts was to do a special miniature that would only be available to members.

I work with Mark Copplestone, one of this forums favourite designers, so I spoke to him about it and he was keen to do it. We thought something with a Pulp theme would suit LAF, and so we are proud to present the International Adventurer!

Cheers
Nick Eyre of Northstar Miniatures”

As a member of the LAF forum I got myself the miniature too. In truth I got more then one 😉 I converted one of the figures to be useable in a Scifi setting ( e.g. Warhammer40000) the other was left as it was . Have a look for the greenstuff and bits conversion here.

The figure for Warhammer 40000:

The two next to each other:

The SCIFI figure will be used as a leader of a renegade unit in the Warhammer 40000 universe.

Lead Adventure special figure

Here are pictures of the Lead Adventure Forum special figure sculpted by Mark Copplestone. The figure is only available for members of the forum. You can see the original figure and a conversion by me for use with Warhammer 40000.

Will come back with pictures of the painted figure later.

Basecoat is on

The build is finished and the basecoat is on:

As you can see, after base coating the contraption , you can’t tell that it is made from polystyrene. The only telltale is the wight when you lift it. So from now on no more pictures as long as I am not dropped out of the build something contest. I will take pictures of the painting process but will post them after the contest ended.

Building of the stage complete

I finished building the stage yesterday. Here are pictures of the changes and additions I did:

I added a sign on top of the speakers. This will display the name of the band in ork glyphs then I added cabling for the speakers , the guitars and the microphone of the singer.

Here you see the cabling on the singer figure.

Then I added bolts, rivets and nuts to the stage:

And thats what the stage with band looks like at the moment:

I will post pictures of the base coated model in a few days. Then there will be a hiatus as we are not supposed to show pictures of the painted models before the contest is finished.

The drummer and the fitted sound system

and of the fitted sound system:

The orkification starts

Now, after finishing the Leman Russ, the building of the ork parts of the rolling stage starts. Here are pictures of the beginning of the stage:

The mast will carry the sound system eventually, or at least part of it. as you can see there are 4 spaces for the members of the Band left free. Here are pictures of a test fit of the original miniatures the singer ( Eardrumsplitta) , guitarist and the Bass man. The drummer has to be done from scratch.
