So here's the tank I'm using as the base for my Leviathan. It measures 8"x14". There's a baneblade and predator for size comparisons..

It opens up into this funky command center thing..

So I took off all the pieces and made it just the bottom and tracks

[url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/17784-Apocalypse%2C%20Imperial%20Guard%2C%20Leviathan%2C%20Warhammer%2040%2C000.html][img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/1/31/17784_mb-Apocalypse%2C%20Imperial%20Guard%2C%20Leviathan%2C%20Warhammer%2040%2C000.jpg[/img][/url]

Now with all of those pieces gone I have a nice base to build onto. I will probably save that turret thing for the very top at the end, we'll see. First, I'm going to build the side turrets, with 3 twinlinked lascannons and 4 twinlinked heavy bolters.

I'm using some panels from the COD Manufactorum to build the lascannon towers. The middle heavy bolters will come up higher, about half way up the tower, and the side bolters will be about 1/4 of the way up. I was also thinking of shortening the left and right towers a bit, sawing them off just above those pipes that go along the bottom of the panels. The middle guns are from Razorback sprues, the side guns are predator sponsons glued together. I ordered a few of those Land Raider Terminus upgrade packs to get all the turrets

I'm gonna start by building each tower and turret separately, then stick them all together. More to come

The treads are really big, not a lot of detail but it will be passable enough. I've been working on the lascannon towers and kinda drawing blanks trying to figure out the best way. I think what I'll have to do is use a long piece of poster board for the back wall / side of the tank to attach them to instead of trying to build each tower as a separate piece. I may have to go get another box of manufactorum pieces too.. I also have the church window pieces that will be the walls for the 2nd level, and I may need a 2nd box of them. Hmm... it might be cheaper just to buy that whole city box set]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/543194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/543194.page GMT BOLS posted [url=http://belloflostsouls.blogspot.com/2009/01/apocalypse-scratchbuilding-cautionary.html]this[/url] article

This should give me all the panels I need, I hope.

I got the left hand lower level wall done and have to build the same thing for the other side.

Took a while to figure out the best way to do it. I ended up having to saw off a bunch of corner pieces since I wanted the rivets to all face out.. then I accentally shaved off the rivets of the wrong pieces which is why there's none on the 2 side lascannon towers :( Here's some more shots of the wall section on top of the wheels. Dunno if you can see on the ruler but the whole thing is 14 inches long so, it'll take a guardsman 2 whole turns to get from the front to the back, if he runs

Next I will be getting some plastic rods to brace the insides and add them along the tops of the walls like support beams, to kinda hold the celling on so that I can build up the next level later on, and also make sure the inner walls are all the same width and not warped or anything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/549826.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/549826.page GMT WIP thingy.

The door won't open, I was just going to add decorative pieces to the surface to make it look like it's got hinges and stuff and a seam down the middle. I wanted that back piece to be solid because the rear walls aren't all perfect 90 degree angles and it was warping in the back a lot, so I wanted that piece to hold it all together. thats also why I want to add those beams across the inside, for support since this lower level will have to hold the weight of 2 other levels and I don't want it to look like it's sinking in the middle. the next level up will be not as wide, this bottom level the front is around 3.5 pannels wide, the next level will be 3 pannels wide, then 2 pannels wide for the very top turret housing & bridge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/550463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/550463.page GMT Leviathan FTW!!!

it might be worth making it somewhat like the bassy mount, having a slit in the center so the cannon can arc up and down.
also, might be worth making it a little bigger, as it looks pretty stubby so far.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/550682.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/550682.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/550855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/550855.page GMT

if you want troops in it, and a nice gothic feel to it then cake decorating shops sell plastic pillars, very gothic looking, and very cheap, they have a hole from top to bottom, meaning you can use a pin system on the roof to connect it on.
that way it can be taken off when needed, keeps the top section in place at all times, and keeps the whole design together.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/551238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/551238.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/551331.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/551331.page GMT uk/shop/images/pillars.jpg[/img]

Anyway here's another update. Been spending a while making the inside stronger with some beams going across the top inside and then adding some armor plating going around the lower part for the walls to sit on top of. Going ot be working on this lower part for a while now and adding some armor plates with rivets and all that stuff.

Now I'm starting to wonder about what to do with the rear access ramp. Here it is with the toy tank's ramp closed...

They seem to fit pretty good. In the stats for this thing, its supposed to transport sentinels so you'd think the door would be bigger. I don't own any sentinels and don't plan to get any, so I'm wondering if I should just leave the ramp like that? And then, for that big garage door I was planning above it instead I would model engine things there, pipes, smoke stacks, cables, fuel drums, etc. Wadayas think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/553005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/553005.page GMT

I think I am going to change mine slightly, instead of the traditional Leviathan I'm going to remove the sentinel carrying capacity so the innards will have room to store a lot of ammo, for the Hydra turret that's gonna go on the back I'm going to order the FW hydra platform. I'm just not sure if I want the regular hydra platform ([url=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/hydpstore.jpg]pic[/url]) since I won't really be able to use the bitz for the "legs", or the 2 barreled Phaeton pattern one ([url=http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog/autoemp6store.jpg]pic[/url] .. I'm guessing if I go with the Phaeton one the whole thing should fit on there. But I like the 4 barrel look of the hydra turret better.

Anyway, I decided to get rid of that giant garage door I was building and just go with the already built in ramp the toy came with and there will be engine components there. I bitz ordered 2 dreadnought power packs with the smoke stacks from the warstore and I think when I get that FW turret I will also order their little power generator and stick that on the back too.

edit: actually, looking at the FW site, a better and cheaper way is to just get the hydra tank conversion kit for the turret, then I don't have any wasted parts ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/553961.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/553961.page GMT

Got a little more done. Added some armor plates along the side, never thought rivets could be so tedious I hope to not add many more... The walls are now permanently attached to the body and the middle lasgun tower is done along with the 2 bottom heavy bolter turrets next to that. They're removable right now though, I will probably paint them separately in the end so it will be easier to paint the walls without the little guns all in the way.

At first I was going to make it 3 panels wide instead of 2, but I like the big double door for the front porch, and now I have room for those arch thingies that will go down the side. So the 2nd floor will be 2 wide 8 deep.

Their homeworld is sort of near Cadia & the eye and they're a very anti-chaos army.

I'm basing it on the Bell of lost Souls datasheet. Theirs is 1400 pts and has 6 TL lascannons, 8 TL heavy bolters, doomsday cannon, battle cannon and transport for 50 humans, 25 ogryns or 10 sentines.

I was going to call it a Stormguard pattern leviathan. I will just have it able to transport humans as I don't have any ogryns or sentinels and if I did I doubt I'd want them in there, and I'm imagining that will make room for extra ammo, etc, for the Hyrda turret that will be on the top in the rear section. The front will be a shadowsword cannon & the housing from the new kit, but made as a spinning turret on the front top, and it was just going to be for looks and count as the regular battle cannon. Or, should I have that fixed and not able to spin and have it as a real shadowsword cannon? Or I could use anything else from that kit, maybe the vulcan megabolters from the stormlord instead? No idea how to adjust the cost though... 1400 pts minus carrying bigger models plus hydra & top big gun = ??]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/561950.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/561950.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/563370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/563370.page GMT

The 3 middle turrets are Razorback guns, the other 4 are from predator sponsons just gluing the single weapon for each sponson together to make it look like 1 twinlinked gun, and added some plasticard and other bitz.

To add to the tank I used some plastic rod attached to an armor plate and a smaller rod under the gun so it makes a little socket that will allow it to spin around, but still keep it in place. I will probably stick some blue tac in the hole to keep it snug so they don't fall off when I play but that will be after I paint it.

Someone had asked for a pic with some figures for scale, so here ya go. I should be able to fit a 5 man command squad on that front porch

Now I want to start working on the next floor above. I used some blue tack to stick some spare wall pieces together. But I don't know if I like it. It just feels too tall. I want this part to be like a bridge/command deck, and a baneblade cannon on top of it. So, I think I may have to scratch build something to make it more tank-looking, maybe going up on an angle like a bunker. Then behind the top floor on the back will be the hydra turret

I agree with the idea of the stormlord superstructure for the big turret. I think it is really easy to make these sorts of projects overly tall for their foot print, giving the impression that they will fall over if they roll over a bump. Something a little more lean and low for the gun on top will help get around that, especuially since it is already what, 45' tall in scale?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/568106.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/568106.page GMT

I will be editing it for mine and adding 100 pts for the hydra turret so it'll be 1500 for me

I was messing with the floor tiles yesterday and they are actually the perfect height, so I think I may try something like that. I was going to use the shadowsword for it but I think I wanna save a little cash since I also have some lizardmen stuff to buy and about 27 valkyries when they come out cuz they look so cool. So, I think I'm going to scratch build a command deck that looks a lot like the shadowsword top, and then just order a baneblade cannon sprue and mount that on top.

for the command deck, I'm gonna wait for the shadowsword to come out and I will use the top of that that the cannon attaches to if it fits good.

But, I gotta finish up my Stegadon first. hopefully tonight...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/597555.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/597555.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/597559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/597559.page GMT
On some recent Forgeworld items I had great success plunging the bent items in to just boiled water for about 10-30 seconds (depending on thickness). Once I'd removed them and straightened them I plunged them into cold water to keep their new shape. It's a system that has worked so far for me. Hope this helps if you haven't tried it before.

Looking forward to the next update.

Maybe the stormsword or the doomhammer guns might work better. They are shorter. But to have a vulkan mega bolter would be immense. It would make that Leviathan a real firebase!

Will have to say that the 2nd floor should have been a bit lower, so you could have fitted a command bridge. IMO.

Next I have to add something to get the hydra mounted so that can spin properly too. Oh and I also fixed the bent hydra barrels, ran em under hot tap water and bent them straight also cleaned all the resin with simple green, including the new hellhound bitz.

I also built some more porch railings to go around the top behind the turret, but it was getting in the way of the hydra spinning, so I'm just gonna leave the top flat.

I think I'm pretty much done. I could keep going and going adding bitz all over the place but then I will never get around to painting it. I think I'm also going to leave the Doomsday cannon like it is. yeah it's massive and you can fit a whole space marine inside the barrel, but then every other tank in the game has obscenely large and out of proportion guns too. Besides, it has to be big enough to live up to a name like Doomsday Cannon.

I'm gonna paint it in stages, bottom hull, then top hull, then all the guns separately. It's gonna take a long time. I will probably take several breaks to work on some other projects while I paint it but I'll post pics of progress I want to get some more lizardmen done at the moment...

One thing I keep thinking though is that it needs something attached to the front. The squared off bumper that is shorter than the main gun makes it look a little over balanced forward a bit to me. I am thinking that a prow ram would go a long way towards balancing it out and making it a tad more elegant. Something along the lines of the Sisters of battle immolator style, with a gap in the middle of course to avoid covering your brass plate!

I suppose part of the issue is seeing such a large vehicle that doesn't look like a ship or a train in the front sort of throws me. Still, dead awesome over all!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/606285.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/606285.page GMT

I was thinking about building some kinda of massive dozer blade for it though. I will probably still try and do something different for the cannon too, we'll see.

Necros is of course invited, provided there is a big dozer blade on that thing by week's end!

Also, Necros, to save you a little cash, you might try Rustoleum's light grey automotive primer. I get mine at Wal Mart, but you can definitely get it at like Lowe's or Home Depot. It is a very light grey, almost white, which covers very evenly. I used it on the Necros Pattern Battlewagon over a brown primer for rust (using the jelly rust spot method) and then just washed the whole tank with a brown and Payne's Grey mix (if I recall) to very nice results.

Results I need to post on Dakka, it occures to me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/606806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/606806.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/606987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/606987.page GMT

However, all in all I find this amazing the CoD Walls and the Toy Tank and building this monstrosity from Scratch... it is just phenomenal. I cannot wait for you to paint this, just I would like you to take your time so that it looks good, so ignore the rushing "Paint it NOW" Posts. Patients pays off lol.

I do have one question though, are you going to model the inside of it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/931138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/931138.page GMT

Unfortunately, I didn't plan ahead and also got a bit lazy when I was building it, so no it's not going to be able to open up and have an interior.

And yes it will take me a while to paint. I plan to do the whole bottom section, then take a break and do some other models, and then the upper floor, and then weapons last. I probably won't do anything with the windows till the very very end. Right now I'm leaning toward photo paper stained glass instead of decals for them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/931176.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/931176.page GMT http://www.dickblick.com/products/grafix-clear-lay-assorted-colors/ But that is entirely up to you, it is your model it is just a suggestion.

http://www.empirehobbies.com.au/images/ris35063.jpg

The ones I have fit COD windows pretty well.

NOTE: Unless you light up the interior, you really won't see the stained glass at all well!

Look forwards to seeing it painted!

here is a question, for the other floors are you just going to "Set" them on top, or are you going to glue them down.

Easy Transportation lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957631.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957631.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957648.page GMT
I'm gonna just glue the 2nd floor to the 1st. I'll have everything glued except the weapons.

i thought about keeping it separate for transporting but there's no way this will fit in any kind of transport bag or anything so I'm not gonna waste my money on foam trays or anything. when I need to transport it I'll probably just put it in a big box and wrap it in a towel. it's not like my normal models that will be transported often, this will just be used maybe a couple times a year]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957702.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957702.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957801.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/957985.page GMT

Once it's all done though I'm going to add some guys to the front porch. I got the commissar that's reading the book, and since I'll probably just be using my astropath in games I'll add the other 2 advisors up there with him.

The front porch is going to have the commissar that's reading a book with his powerfist in the air right in the middle, then next to him I'll have a master of ordinance advisor and the officer of the fleet. And then on either side of the porch I'm going to add heavy stubber gunners with the guns that go on the side of a stormlord transport area.

that'll be at the very end though

when I play next week it's gonna transport my company command plus 4 units of vets for a total of 12 meltaguns and 6 plasmaguns I hope to roll it up to a big objective and then just unload everyone on the last turn ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/984262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228835/984262.page GMT

you could make another roof atop that one, slanting up from around the shadowswork gun. i love the rest of the tank but the roof just doesn't look exactly right. (sorry...)

the other thing is, baybe try putting a dozer blade or two at the front to clear the way ahead (you could also stick some close combat type weapons to it, eg chainsaw armed guardsmen to discourage boarding parties.
