After a bit of a search on good old evil bay I came across this gem from a studio located in the US that "specialize" in conversion work.

Well...well...what can you say? specialize in something else! Thought it may be a one off but the rest of the shop reflects the creative spirit involved!

+1 Hammer Time

I was watching this last night on youtube. He was so serious, I thought it was a joke.

There seems to be a lot of people on Ebay that have “exaggerated” skills.

I mean my god have seen the amount of “pro painted” work that looks like someone just ate some paint then had the runs all over their models.

Funny thing is, if that Jabba set hadn't bene mangled, he'd have probablyl been able to get more money for it than he's asking.

This.

After reviewing his other work and the simple fact he has other commissions and has had commissions I've reached the conclusion that he is in fact a genius at marketing. Or perhaps he's a wizard.

I could not imagine ever putting such a thing up in public space with a price tag at all. it bewilders me.

The use of lego flames on one of his "display piece" bases is just perfectly in theme with his style and that says enough.

I wonder roughly what this models amount would truly be (kit wise I mean) jabba, what looks to be the left arm of an action hero 3 defiler turrents......

It's old video game slang from the team fortress era, was also pretty popular in the tribes era which followed. The tribes 2 beta even had a kill line for turrets something like "<player> has come down with turrent syndrome" which funnily enough didn't make it to retail biggrin.gif

Granted some of the bigger stuff is actually pretty good, like the armoured elephant and slaanesh greater demon

Perhaps someone can enter it at the next Golden Daemon and pass it off as their own work.
Cheexsta
That Angel of Death conversion at 8:41 isn't so bad.

The rest is...creative.

the slaanesh greater daemon made me cringe.. start with a forge world greater daemon ($140), then cover it rough sculpted green stuff..

How can "white metal studios" make a good model? Start with a great model!
morsla
No! Start with three good models, glue them together, and carve them back until it fits on a base...

What is this "Hammer Time" and how does it differ from normal time?

It's a disturbance in the space/time continuim where black people in baggy pants can dance and dance and dance.

For unknown reasons, the 'Hammer Time Anomoly' is unable to be percieved by white people.

Also, it is not to be confused with the recently discovered 'Potty Time'. Which has a similuar jingle.
sir-ronsalot
Occulto needs to enter this thread and post shots of Madron, fork I've laughed at that model so many times... I love it so much it's my username on a few forums.

The sad thing is the description he gave is something of a small essay but this is quite scary, the guy seriously believes he has created a work of art here...

Someone needs therapy after seeing that model and it may be me!!!
Angmar
A magnificent piece of art, surely it's up there with current modern art masterpieces and worth millions ?

I can't even tell what that thing is supposed to be. It just looks like a pile of stuff. I might as well grab a handful of bitz off my desk, dribble glue over the pile to make 'em stick together, and paint that.

Well if you had done this you wouldore likely end up with an ork vehicle, not a chaos one!
slayerofmen
not if he chucks a chaos star on that bad boy, strap some half lascannon pieces on that bad boy and sell it for about 60$$
