I like how you cut around the circle problem by using octagon hatches.

Nice tip on filling drinking straws with hot glue to give the structure strength!

What is this corrugated cladding you speak of?

Edit: your channel has some really nice looking vids on creation of tile terrain! I'll be sure to check those out!

Another great ultra-low budget build, nice and simple. I'm not too much of a fan of your exhaust structure (the things holding up the smoke stacks, not the stacks themselves), they're a bit short... But that's something that I could easily change myself. To be positive though (and there is a whole lot of positive in that video) I really like your solution for tracks, and will probably be doing a modified version a scratch-built Super Heavy I've been working on.

You've got yourself a great channel going! Do keep at it!

Thanks!

Also, appreciate the constructive criticism. Never be afraid to share that kind of stuff.

Been looking forward to that ever since I saw your video on the mech - awesome job mate, I'll be having a go at that!

Also - corrugated cladding, what IS that stuff? Is there a translation for Brits?

Corrugation Cladding is a term I coined in the earliest videos on my channel. It just means to cut some strips of paper or very thin cardstock, and hot glue it to the corrugation, to hide the corrugation.

Wyloch, any chance of tempting you to do some thrifty versions of things for Orks and Imperial Guard? ;-)

They are on the list, though not in the near future. Got specific units in mind?

I'd love to see a Leman Russ, or a warbuggy.. or an Ork Killa Kan, something to oppose your mighty Dreadnought!

I built one! Not gone for a turret and cheated a bit on the exhaust (used sprue offcuts) - and you might notice it's a bit small, as we do 1/72 gaming. Quite pleased though, thanks for your original post! :-)

Slapped some paint on- this is an old school Rhino from when the Guard got them, so camo job and some weathering. It's a bit big so I think this might function as a command vehicle- hope you approve ;-)

Loved it :-) Going to combine this with some papercraft ideas for Chimeras, Russes etc. Also, check this out: http://castrarunis.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/trackstracks-more-tracks-need-tracks.html

As soon as I can get a cable, I'll be trying that!

Keep posting man, you build some awesome stuff

Done some more on the Rhino- swapped the cardboard tracks for ones built from IDE cable and added some detailing to give it character. Waiting on your next vid, Wyloch! :-)
