[Infernal Skull]

Hey guys, today I put up a tutorial on how I convert my Dire Wolves.

Some of the highlights:

The Chaos Hound parts I use for the conversion.

Sculpting fur over the spiky parts.

Adding ears from the plastic wolf head.

Combining the plastic Fenrisian wolf body with the metal Chaos Hound head.

Adding plastic ears and sculpting fur.

Doom Wolf details (converted from Thunderwolf).

Check out my blog for the full tutorial!

RE: Rob Hawkins' DIre Wolf Conversions

Wow that is outstanding sculpting work! Looks great and just makes the models pop even more! I have 10 GW Dire Wolves but those ENORMOUS heads does make me push them to the side when ever I decide what to paint up next..! I might consider trying this out instead though..

And I will visit your blog.! Was just gonna ask if you did tutorials but looking at your blog just now answered that pretty fast - you do, AWESOME!

Bookmarked!
