A few years ago I wanted to convert up an Ironclad model before it was released. I had a few ideas but after seeing some of the stuff my buddy Plunkett was doing with his stuff, I decided to let him have a go at it.
Then I could just detail it out the rest of the way to my liking, and hit the tabletop with it.
Well that plan kinda worked. It looks great, but I haven’t really touched the model in like say three years or so? Now I got all these other Dreadnoughts running around all painted up nice, so I suppose it’s time to show this guy some love too.
So where do I start? There as so many more amzing kits out there with bits that can just knock this conversion out of the park.
I suppose I could just make it a Dreadnought of all trades, and make up every arm option it could even use? It would make a pimp Furioso Librarian Conversion!
Here you can see Plunkett used “Brown Stuff” because it mostly holds an edge better than regular “Green Stuff”. I’ve heard that Green Stuff works better for organics, but I really don’t have an opinion either way.
From this shot it’s easy to tell the whole thing has been enlarged a bit. The Sarcophagus, Legs, and arms all have been extended.
