Amazing tutorials - Once I get done prepping for halloween, I am going to try these out! Thank you for all the time you put in on these!

Sweet! I've been wanting to build a biker army, and now I think I might have to-using the jetbikes.

Fantastic work, thank you for sharing!! That is just what I have been looking for. Thanks for posting the "blue print" too.

Amazing work...

So tedious!!!

Congratulations!! I'll probably never use it, but I'm glad some people are SO passionate that they can go through such ordeals!!!

Thanks for sharing your genius!!

Thanks for all the comments: I look upon scratch building as a challenge. I am glad that you all have enjoyed the thread. If only one person likes or enjoyed it, then it was all worth the while. See you all around the forums.

Glad you enjoyed it and found something that you like. While I made this out of card stock (business card thick). you can do the main flat sections out of styrene and enhance it with thin plastic or paper card stock. Enjoy and hope to see your version as well. You can modify my plans to your needs as well.

As mentioned earlier, Glad you like it and the plans are just a base. You can improve on it as you wish and use styrene instead of paper.

I have seen it at Games Workshop but it is not on my front burner yet. It seems easy to make but I still have a bunch of stuff to catch up to.

nice work man! one of these days well have to get together and build ourselfs a warlord titan!

Well, I have the plans for Titans and Reavers but they are too extensive and long in duration. One of these days I may make one.

Over at zealot.com in the downloads section, are the templates for a warhound titan.

well it sure seems that you have the skill to build a quite decent looking one

lol I went to paperhammer and its the one im trying to build.

Before I go to the Titans, there is a myriad of smaller stuff out there. Here is my latest build thread, it will be of a Catachan Scout vehicle. It is almost finished and it will be a multiple posting here and on other sites. Here a few photos as to where the build is at. I have to cut and pose the crew before I go on and I have not decided on the weapons system yet. The posting will start soon and see you around the forums.

Here it begins again. This is a scratch build of a Catachan Scout vehicle. It has some similarities between a ATV and a dune buggy. The beginning starts with the wheels. In an earlier build I showed how to manufacture the wheels. This method is the same with the exception that the lugs are made and glued on individually. So without further ado, here is the Catachan Scout. The next posting will be on the Main Body.

You're too good.

Thanks for the comment Finch. And now the body of the vehicle. As you will see, it is a two man vehicle. The main tub is in the center and the rest is stowage areas for ammo and other sundries.

awsome man these look awsome def going to try this

Go for it Nurgles. I am making this out of card stock but the same technique will work with sheet styrene as well, with the exception of the wheels, but those you can make with my method or steal them from the Space Marine Bikes, but don't get caught by the Tech Priest.

My batteries died but I continued building. The construction of the rear is not depicted, sorry about that.

Have you been nominated for a award yet?

That''s frakkin' insane man! I love it!
An army with all of those handmade vehicles must look great.
Also, when using this manner of building vehicles, you can modify them however you like right? Like making the bike's into chopperbike's?

I have not tried a chopper bike yet, but it may seem possible for the Orky Boyz.

As of the moment, the answer is no. I have not entered any competitions. I just do it for the enjoyment and the challenge. For competitions, I would have to over detail the model and it takes too long to finish one that way. My models are just basic, finish one and on to the next.

And now, more updates on the Catachan Scout vehicle.

Cool

And some say that it is hot stuff! But I will settle for either.

Some more stuff on the little fellow. The roll cage is not done yet. I have to cut, trim and pose the figures first before I close it up, or the figures will not fit through the openings.

More on the scout vehicle. Cut and trimmed the figures and placed them into position. Closed up the roll cage and used a commo pack from my bitz box.

Great tuto!

You sir know how to work with plastic card.

Actually, all of the models depicted here, are made from card stock (paper). I used to scratch build with styrene and I just treat the paper like it was plastic. All of the models here can be made with sheet styrene. Exceptions are the Eldar Jet bike and Grav vehicles. Those have to heat the styrene carefully but paper is more forgiving. There are more scratch build coming down the pike. See you then.

More updates on the scout vehicle.

Wow.

Glad that you like it Finch. Here are more updates. Added the top weapon system, added the fuel cells, front bumper and winch and top cover protection from expended shells. Disregard that tall fellow in the photo, something that I was working on out of sculpey clay.

Here are the final photos of the Scout Vehicle. I hope that you have enjoyed the build. See you all around the forums.

You have the coolest way of making stuff, each component is studied and then made in a way that really emphasizes the form and the detail. These are really quite incredible models. I'm enjoying seeing the steps very much - keep up this awesome work!
