i don't trust anyone in the traffic eighter. when i'm out driving i take it that everyone i meet is an idiot..

i know, right! none has thought of it earlier.. oh well, maybe thought of it but never done it. i just hope i will pull it off..

that's the good thing about how i make them. they come off!






so guys, i haven't had much time to do anything on the launchers.. iv'e only just drilled the barrels on the second one.
there is still alot to do before the wedding this saturday. so i really don't have any time to play around with my big boy toys..

ALSO!! last but deffinetly not least it's my 23rd birthday today so i will eat cake all day long!!

i wonder what i will give to myself this year???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU WEE WIPPER SNAPPER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY






So young.......

23 ? :facpalm:
i am even now older than 32...argh... to be young again...er...on second thought... perhaps not... but more hair would be nice... just not from my ears or on the back...

if this sounds weird... its my way to say happy birthday, ye ol´grunt

Happy Birthday DiDDE

Haha thank you guys!

well, someone needs to keep the middleage down on this forum eh?



i managed to find some time finish to twist the last wires.
the next step is to wrap some mesh around them to get some texture and something to glue the foliage to.


this is how it looks right now.





that last pic is more of a "before and after" thing. i'm gonna take a pic in the same position when it's all done to see how much is visible of the baney.

Hapy Birthday Didde! Nice smoke! all fused with the accuracy of the Guard's BS3!

This is going to be epic!

Happy birthday ( a bit late )

Hey guys! so i'm back from vacation now. i had a great time in the lovley city of gothenburg. doing alot of sunbathing, eating good food, visiting friends and ofc alot of shopping! and who am i to not visit the GW store while there?

so i bought some new stuff there.
just a small supply drop for my guard




and now when the vacation is over it's back to work again.. and this night i just had to take this pic.



i drive by this sign litterly every day i work. and every time i see it, it makes me think of DakkaDakka... and i really can't figure out why.



also some other news about the modeling then. i haven't been able to find the mesh i need to texture the smoke for the bane blade yet. and while i'm looking for that i will start on my entry for brians competition about recycled stuff.

so stay tuned for that!

Haha! That's great!..So great, it should be someone's avatar!

Ditto.

Oh and can't wait to see those all painted up.

What is the mesh you are looking for?

those smoke skeleton effects look terrific!!!

and LOL...

Haha! That's great!..So great, it should be someone's avatar!

my thoughts exactly!...

well, we'll see when the time comes for them to get painted

and i don't really know what kind of mesh i'm looking for.. everyone keeps talking about "car body mesh" but i haven't gound any yet. hopefully in the next couple of days cause i'm really eager to see some progress on the smoke myself.

thank you!

haha it's really fun to the pic as your avatar! fits you really well imho. i had a small thought about you using it as your avatar but i never really thought you'd use it.

i feel kinda honoured acctually!




as i replied to jeff i haven't really found any mesh yet. but i will put up a pic within an hour of the progress so far. it gives you a small hint of what it will look like when it's finished.
i have started (and i'm nearly done) putting some foliage on the wires going from the launchers to the blast itself. and well.. right now it looks kinda like green smoke.

the reason i'm not done yet is because i'm working in batches taking two wires at a time. otherwise i would be high as he** right now.
and we're not gonna have that kind of fun are we? no, i didn't think so!

I'm with you Didde..all the Brits talk about this car body repair mesh..but nothing like it seems to exist in the US....How the hell can car body work be that much different across the pond? I don't know. They must layer it between bondo layers like fiberglass is done for all I can guess.

yeah it's quite a mystery to me too.. and then i live at the same side of the pond too!!



so pics as promised! please feel free to tell me exactly what you think! i can handle critisism.



and a close up




now to find some of that mysterious mesh! otherwise i have to start experimenting with bandages or something..

If you're in the US now...try Michael's Craft Store..the stuff I got there doesn't seem to have the same flat surface area as the British stuff, but it works. It's what I wrapped around the speeder steps. Looks great man!

Looks great mate think it might be a Pain in the arse to paint mind

If you send me your address I can pick some mesh up this weekend, if they have it in stock and send it to you if you want

Seriously..LDD?...How the hell do you use that stuff for car repair? Why aluminum on a Steel body? Or is this from the days when you Brits all drove funny little Mr. Bean cars?

I think it was around those times but every one did their own patch repairs, no wait they thought they could

That's the classic plastic pig you have there me matey, a lot of bikers bought those as they could drive them in the winter still on a bike licence.

Now do you want the dam mesh or not lol

I still don't get it...why so many holes in car bodies? the rainy climate in the UK causes rust?

I have no real idea maybe the need to stretch the use of the vehicle, althought the rest of it will still be falling apart

I will ask my uncle the next time I see him he used no end of that stuff, I think his ford Capri or as we called it crappy was 90% made of the stuff in the end.

We have Body Shops here...you drop off your car, get a rental, and 3 days later your car magically looks new again

We have garages you drop it of 2 weeks later they give you your car back in a worst state than you left it.

hey didde.... the honor was all on my side as you had that connection to me on your way to work each day... i must´ve left a big dent here

so in honor of that i just had to wear that new mantle

the flocked smoke looks stunning... i bet it is a tiedious work if there ever was one!...

oh and for all of you still looking for fine alluminium mesh... lidle...a local supermarket chain sells atm a mesh to cover cellar windows...

something like this...

i will get me a package tomorrow...and i will show you this...

Hey guys! remember me? i went a little awol there for a while. i haven't really been in a good mood to do anything.. i guess the mesh problem is getting the best of me.

and as you can probably figure i haven't done much since my last update.. iv'e built a chimera, the aegis defence and a LRBT. that's all iv'e done in about a mounths time...

in my last update i said that i would start with comrades and ruglunds competition about recycling. well, what can i say about that, i didn't even get past the planning stage..
so i figured i'll try my luck this new one. and hopefully my idea will be badass enough to enter.

and this one i got all figured out already now it's just a matter of building it!
i have talked about this idea before. and i think that this is the right time to make it happen.

this is my work station at the moment by the way.

thank you. and if that offer is still available i would really really appreciate if you could. i thought i found something that would work but it turned out to be a waste of money..
