My college finial year project (SoI)

[warsmith]

Hi everone

Well from time to time I have ether been ask or I have told people about my finial year project. A lot people had confuse/blank looks when I exsplain I was going to do a sence from Storm of Iron.

That first it was going to be a life size Chaos Marine but because of time issue & learning a lot new stuff I do not have the time for, it got put to one side, also because I learnt from last year HND.

I pick Storm of Iron to do a battle sence much like the Halo Diorama if any you seen it (if you check youtube). I pick this for 1: to show movie side of model making, 2: to should building side of model making & 3: well it because of Graham McNeil that I am in this course since he recommended me to it.

So to cut short this story, check out this link. Aim to update per Fri

I have 4 weeks left, aim to start making some of the 40k models very very soon. It the sence where the Warsmith is so close to his goal, yet the Imperial Fist are in his way. Many things been added to this. Graham McNeil him self keep a close eye on this project & keep in contact with me, if all gose well it might even go up on his own site.

Hi everone

That Graham McNeill updated his blog with my work talk about on it

Stuff other people have done.

One of the things that’s really rewarding about this job is seeing how people who read my books have gone on to take my characters onwards and do their own things with them. After Storm of Iron came out, I remember loads of GW store managers telling me – with varying degrees of frustration and/or glee – that the number of Iron Warriors armies in their stores had shot up. That’s just one example, but in recent times I’ve had contact with a couple of guys who’ve done some really amazing things that I’d like to share with you.

Many moons ago I was at Conflict: Scotland, where I met a guy called Jamie Farquhar, who was thinking about going to the Glasgow College of Building and Printing to do a model-making course. We chatted at the event and he showed me his Iron Warriors army, which was very nicely made and had lots of very cool conversions. Anyway, many years later I got an e-mail from Jamie through the website where he told me that he was indeed on his model-making course and that he was going to build part of the fortress from Storm of Iron for his end of year show and could I help him out with the background (where I got my ideas and inspiration from etc). We chatted many times over e-mail and, long story short, Jamie had his end of year show and if you’d like to see some exceptionally cool models of the fortress then follow the links below and you’ll see what I mean:

The first link is to a forum topic on the Iron Warriors 4th Grand Company website:

The second one is to a Photobucket album that shows the construction of the fortress itself:

Nice one Jamie, that looks fantastic. Cool to get such a positive boost from McNeil too :-)

Thanks Paul

Yes it good to hear the good feedback from Mr MeNeill himself. Through out the project I would keep him updated & he told me how he enjoyed showing other my project.

I do feel let down by the Imperial Fist but never really painted them before & just never a fan of birth colours, also having 4 hours to paint them... had to white undercaot & yellow ink them.

But turn out alright, end year show could not get a min to myself was block in where my stuff was display for three hour going through my models.

Also it is good he rememeber me from my Crusifed Ultramarine on the Pred before being Mk2, then 3 with Black Templar.
