L72s miniatures Techno Ape Patriarch

I picked up some miniatures from L72 Miniatures.  The catalogue is an eclectic mix of stuff and he has quite a few models with outstanding character.  

He has one model that really stood out.  He calls it the Techno Ape Patriarch.  It fits right in as a Jokaero from Rogue Trader.  It is a single solid casting and I loved it.  I don't dabble in 40k at all anymore but had to pick this up, just to paint.   

Painted in my regular craptastic style.  Just waiting for a dry day to seal it up then I can add tufts and flock. 

Hope you like.

 I just finished a few models from the Black Crab Kickstarter.  

 I love the models but my painting will never do them justice. 

 

Giant Complete. BSC 2026 Complete and some other bits and pieces.

 Finished my entry for BSC 2026.  I came in third of five on the initial vote and as always there were some great builds.  Here it is all tarted up. 

I also finished up the Giant.  I was going to do some oil work on his face but decided against it in the end.  Spaceballs are for scale only.  

 Base and face. 

The tattoos.  

Some Wars of Ozz Mechanical ax-men.  They will be used as construct hordes for a customer Frostgrave Scenario.  

Some casualty counters and key counters. 

Lastly some flaming skulls.

 Major work is done.  Some touch ups and details to go. 

Giant Post 4. BSC post 5.

 Can't show anything on BSC because it is painted and ready to submit.  

However, I have managed some work on the Giant.  

 Still has lots of work to be done.  Vest and trousers are the next things on the list.  After that the club, then on to details.  

Giant Post 3 and BSC 2026 Post 4

 Zenith primed both.  Just checking for blemishes that show up on the primer before fixing and moving onto painting. 

 

Giant post 2 and BSC2026 post 3

First off is what I have done with the giant.  Finished cleanup and added the pouch and treasure trousers hanging off his belt.  I removed the hook off the pouch and pinned it in place in two spots.  Then used UV resin around the base to give it more support.  A bit of green stuff was added for a strap on the belt and corresponding strap on the pouch.  The treasure trousers (when you hold the piece upside down it makes sense) had the integeral ring and hook removed and replaced with a new steel ring and hook.  The end of the hook is the first pin point for the piece.  I also hid a second pin on the backside of the trousers to secure it in place.  Again UV resin was used for extra support where it touches and is close to the body.  

 I added an Easter Egg on the base with a 3d printed Tortoises attacking his foot. 

Here is a scale shot with a miniature on a 25mm base. 

 BSC2026.

Added details and controls to the supports for the telescope.  Just needs some gap filling and I can prime.
