I have been working on a scratch stompa for the past 9 months or so. Its Pretty much totally built, and mostly painted.... but I got a bit distracted of late and need to finish it.
I made the body out of long pieces of sprue, and then added plastic card as a shell over the frame. It was harder than I thought to make it look right. just gluing things on randomly actually made it look pretty bad, and I redid a couple of sections.
The close combat arm is a chain saw arm with pistons and such (like the GW kit), while the main gun arm was actually from a small plastic flashlight. The gattling gun was made out of seven pens with the tips cut off glued together.
The biggest pain has been gluing on rivets and bolt heads because on a project this big there are so many. I was able to find some plastic six sided rods of different size diameters. Slicing these with am exacto knife and gluing them on took for ever, but it was worth it.
I found I had to work on other stuff every now and then to stay focused!
I am kind of new to Dakka, and have a couple of photos on my digital camera, but have not figured out how to load them up as yet to a post. perhaps I can get something posted to show you what I did...

"Straight Fething Silver" Tanith first and only
I have a reputation, Modile, a reputation as a fair, honest man who treats his soldiers well and supports them in the face of darkness. Potentially, that reputation makes me soft. It seems I understand failure and forgive it. Some, like Kowle, believe me to be a weak commissar, not prepared to take the action my rank demands. Not prepared to enforce field discipline where I see it failing. I am an Imperial commissar. I will enflame the weak, support the wavering, guide the lost. I will be all things to all men who need me. But I will also punish without hesitation the weak, the incompetent, and the treasonous.
I am a Commissar. I am empowered to deliver justice wherever I see it lacking. I am empowered to punish cowardice. I am granted the gift of total authority to judge, in the name of the Emperor, on the field of combat.
— Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, prior to the field execution of his uncle General Aldo Dercius |
