This gets better, and better!

Scary good. Honest to goodness, my first take of the one arm was giant frikkin' harpoon gun. Which is cool.

Some sort of cockpit dome for the 'pilot'?

That is a very interseting take on the dread. I like it and how it has expanded.

Kustom mega blastas!

Awesome work Cam

I really love the knight lancer style pneumatic lance on the dread, it really put a smile on my face (also because it looks really well done). That chain claw is just plain nasty, in the nicest possible way.

Resin casting as well now! open casting for little stuck on details makes life easier, good choice of bits love the control panels . The engine looks really good Also you probably won't need a mould release unless it says

how about some sort of weapon system on the chest, I know you've gone and painted it now, but something like the ridiculous SM centurions would be cool. Or a skorcher on an arm with a pipe running down to 1-2 tanks on the back either side of the engine.

Thank you all....

Still undecided on the weapon.

So did a bit of painting....



Whilst cleaning up a bit, i found this....it's the structure from a tealight led thingy. Got me thinking....




Then mucked about making up some lenses...



After a lick of paint this is where it's at.....





too tired to do lenses right now, sothats me for today...

Thoughts appreciated.

That's a smashing use of a random piece.

Nice lens assembly too.

Oooh! Good gubbins

Uhh wow. /awe

mate... using this candle bit...I could say this is the last drop to fill the barrel... but you certainly have yet again something up your sleeve...

and don´t let me start on your giant saw....man....(rant is meant to be a crude disguised compliment...)

I feel ashamed to later on steel so many ideas^^

Thank you one and all.

Well here we go straight in at it.

Weapon system....

Cut "barrel"

Made "glowy bit."

Stuck body together.

Made a ball

Made what I guess to be an igniter...


Added some pipes and stuff...


Primed with rivets...


Lick of paint....



In situ...



And call that done.....











Last lot votable (Hint Hint!!) JK.

Your thoughts are very much appreciated. Don't know what's next. Open to ideas.

Thank you for looking in.

Sick! That's just plain awesome, and i really love how you can clearly see the pilot from the right angle

Cam! Yuzza Geenyuss!

Nice work, Cam. That is one Krazy Kontraption.

WHOO! KMB! KMB! KMB! Oh yeah!

Genuinely crazy creativity, great execution, and over that, an over-the-charts speed to put those together from idea to final shots!

Hat off to you!

And awaiting the next instalment, too...

Thank you guys,

Really chuffed with him, and thanks for voting.

I think I am going to mess about a bit more with the casting over the next few days, probably put that on my other things thread. And probably knock out a silly little tank with the track units I have made so far. What are the approx dimensions for grot tanks? My track unit is 80mm long! maybe a bit big?

Thank you all for your marvelous support.

More coming soon....

Loving the flamer, nice fuel canister by the way .

Brilliant Can mate! So much ingenuity going on in there! And i agree with Theophony, that flamer is really nice!

Oh... and the paintwork....

you don´t know how inspiring your stuff is...well...you would if you soon take a look at what I was up to

that flamer... making guns is really on that scale not for the faint of hearts! I can attest that...

but I hope you soon start showing progress on a new project of yours...it is most addictive and I need my daily fix

and as for the grot tank... the way I gather it...everything is allowed? I have seen so many different variants on that theme that it is hard to say which measurements would be allowable rules wise...

(un)Holy cow... that is amazing

But where's Judge Joseph Dredd that you promised in the title

Last photo... good idea, but, what software did you use? A black t-shirt ( a clean one, of course) makes a good background for close ups of minis. As a gamer, I'm sure you have at least one Just drap it nicely and snap away.

Only C&C, apart from, Just wow man! is perhaps some raised rivets in selected spots next time. Or even add a few raised rivets to the flush rivets, that might be a neat effect.

Thank you all, you are too kind.

I will get to points later, off to a blooming wedding.....

Anyways just leave this here for you to look at in the mean time....






Also I got a package today from the good Dr, I will be taking pictures promise. Amazing stuff.

Well see you later, please feel free to comment if the fancy takes you.

Glad it got there ok. Look forward to seeing what you do with it all.

Nice little tank. Tracks work well.

Thanks Doc.

@ Red just playing with photo's sorting something out soon.

So here is Grot Tank Zilla............










Thanks for looking in, please feel free to comment C & C welcome.

Not sure if I will add some crew, thought about it, but not sure.

Thoughts?

Did you use a photo shop grab or something on the tank? Those images look way off to me. Only CC i got is there is no grot on said tank, but it is great.

They used photoshop to take out the background.

Sorry about the pictures, I will sort something out soon on that one.

To answer the question, mucked about in paint blanking out the "shiney" background that lost some of the detail.

I am thinking of putting a blog in the showcase forum, just of my completed works, but I would feel a bit daft, not like they are that good to be "showing off".

Anyways, I have some projects in mind so please keep looking in, currently working on a terrain project on my other p&m blog.

Thank you guys.

but I would feel a bit daft, not like they are that good to be "showing off".

that...is the definition of being daft to think that way....


do it! I command thee!!! silly man...


and me being silly for lurking and not remembering to comment on that lil gem here... man... what a nice piece... looks a tad wobbly on its tracks...is it?...

Put in the Blog.

Quit mucking about in that piece of MS Paint. Try this http://www.gimp.org/ or this http://www.getpaint.net/. Both are free. GIMP has an interesting learning curve but is quite potent. Paint.Net, I haven't used in a while-- won't run on Linux Mint-- but it was nice when I did use it. (on Vista... now you know why I ran to Linux.) Either will be better than MS Paint. I use GIMP all the time.
