Looking really great! although i have one thing that i would like to throw out there... I think you should highlight the rivets somehow, a lighter/brighter red? or a copper/boltgun metal to make them pop. Just an opinion but i think it'd tie the bomma together a bit as the red just kinda runs on to me! Automatically Appended Next Post: PS 1st to comment pg #120!! suck on those rivets!

White Weathering powder works REALLY well for highlighting rivets I have found out recently with my Stormlord project.

Best I could do is dry brush the rivets. Got no powders of any color at all.
OK, calm down Picasso.
It should be! Is a massive flyer for something that should have been well, smaller, but took on a life of it's own,,,,Hmmm, Bomm-zilla.

Most of the worst should pass by, but the Thunder-storms will likely be spectacular, I am in the southern most parts of West Virginia, and just a hour or so from Roanoke in Virginia.
Ohio/Pennsylvania/New Jersey/New York/and such are getting the full effect in their faces when it starts.

Thanks Vik! It could, and it has the advantage that the Orkmower and other of the monster tanks cannot shoot much of anything at a flyer

I will have to check that out. As for the antenna, many things may seem out of place on such a construction. Orks add many things that were taken from enemies ontot heir machines, that was once a Landraider antenna, so it shows the Orky contempt for human engineering.

That is from the fact that men can hide under ground when the air power comes, by, but the tanks, they are a whole different manner, As was evidenced by the losses of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS panzers if caught in daylight by Allied air power. So, the two orgs you speak of already know, safer to hide until the planes are gone from over head.

I was more or less talking about how the antenna was attached to the plane than the actual antenna itself. Maybe put some plasticard around the base of it and some rivets to make it look slapped on there? just was what i was thinking. Oh and you obviously never saw the plans for the "Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte "
Propulsion:
The Ratte was to be propelled by two MAN V12Z32/44 24 cylinder marine diesel engines of 8,500 hp (6.2 MW) each (as used in U-boats) or eight Daimler-Benz MB 501 20 cylinder marine diesel engines of 2,000 hp (1.5 MW) each (as used in E-boats) to achieve the 16,000 hp (11.8 MW) needed to move this tank. The engines were to be provided with snorkels also like those used by German submarines. The snorkels were of course designed to provide a way for oxygen to reach the engine, even during amphibious operations passing through deep water.
Armament:
The Ratte's primary weapon would have been a dual 280 mm SK C/28 gun turret. The turret was to have been a modified Kriegsmarine triple gun turret, removing one of the guns and loading mechanism.
Further armament was to consist of a 128 mm anti-tank gun of the type used in the Jagdtiger or Maus, two 15 mm Mauser MG 151/15 autocannons, and eight 20 mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns, probably with at least four of them as a quad mount. The 128 mm anti-tank gun's precise location on the Ratte is a point of contention among historians, most believing that it would have been mounted within the primary turret, with some others thinking a smaller secondary turret at the rear of the Ratte more logical. Some concept drawings exist to suggest a flexible mount on the glacis plate. The tank was to be provided with a vehicle bay sufficient to hold two BMW R12 motorcycles for scouting, as well as several smaller storage rooms, a compact infirmary area, and a self-contained lavatory system.
