Fly Fex, (a work in progress)pics(updated)

[math]

My flyfex, I know a fex cant fly, but this one is more of a display peace I'm working on or could substitute a flyrant. I'm torn between adding the Balrog wings from lotr, or making 4 wings based on dragon fly wings?

Nice!
I would reccomend that you use balrog wings, it just looks more.....tyranid

[n00b1n8R]

you could make your own (with your modeling skills, that wouldn't be to hard) and they would be alot more niddy than balrog wings.

ofcourse you could just use the balrog wings simply because their easier (but IIRC, you can't then use that model in a GW tournament because of some liscensing BS)

Serif made some awesome flyrant wings from scratch a while ago, I'll see if I can dig them up..

Great work on that fex, I love the limbs.

I made some tyrant wings a while back that resemble Forgeworld Warrior wings. Here they are with explanation as to how.

Now that I have some Warrior wings I want to redo the project with more greenstuff and holes through the wings to make the pieces a closer match. Oh well, as time and budgets permit.

I went with Balrog wings, cause they look better plus I coundnt be bothered to make any proper incect wings or have the funds to buy the materials. I know the see thruough plastic isnt dear but I am really skint right now.

Anyways heres an update on what I did to it last night after taking a break from my BT SM command building tank.

The lights not very good here.





The bugger broke off the plastic pin grip I made, but this gives me the option to make a even stronger one. Paint wise its far from finished.

Great work there!
the wings do suit him well

You know, I really REALLY love the way you did his carapace. The whole thing paintwise is very nice, but the spine back carapace bit just looks awesome. Kudos mate, he's lookin good!

Nice work man! really!(but you really got hairy arms though.... :

[math]

I knew someone would say that soon enough. Hailing from the north of Scotland and being nearly 27 years old(yes big kid) most people tend to get hairy. lol

Regarding the Fex, not only did break off the stnad but the left wing claw has broke off now as well.

one more break and thats worse luck than my lictors - one tail, one base, two arms - I need stronger glue
