So I still that zinge's top gun for the taurox? Or it the stock one? I've never been a fan of that beast.

It's the stock Gun with Zinge improvement bits added, 1st pic, last page

Buggy and Taurox looking fantastic, buggy is a very interesting build, Earthshaker will be a very nice build I think.

That Zinge conversion kit is great - reminds me though that I need to get back to my Taurox 6x6 conversion...

Buggy is interesting, although there's something bugging (no pun intended) me about it but I can't figure out what it is at the moment - possibly the oversized tyres?? I'm sure though it'll work out though once you're done

Thanks Ruglud, It's sort of a silly project, just for the fun of it really

I'm not saying that Amazon Prime is the greatest thing but....

it's the greatest thing ever

I ruin brushes so quickly that I just use the basic army painter ones or ones from the hobby/craft store, but I always have brush envy.

You've got to religiously clean them, but I still use my first Series 7, It's more than 10 years old. The Gold letters are all worn off, but the point is still pristine

Do you have any special technique to clean them? I've recently started using a few series 7s and I'm super paranoid about paint going in the ferrule. They're amazing brushes but also expensive enough that I'm not sure I can justify replacing them!

Mmmm Winsor & Newton Series 7. I'm definitely a convert.

EDC

@scarper They say, never get paint that far up, but those are the same people who dont know how to drill and pin - I have 2 pots of water at the paint bench, dirt and less dirty, then when I'm done paitning and cleaning up for the session, first a scrub in pink soap, then Master's Brush cleaner, always reform the tip, and just store them flat. I've had more problems from them betting dirty from airbrush overspray nearby than paint in the ferrule.

Nice work on the buggy. Additions look good.

Thanks Doc! Fighting this FW Basilisk kit now. I know by now not to expect great Quality Control from Forge World but...

really? It's like their original document was stored on a shared drive, with direct links to the image files, then someone moved the files. They literally printed me an instruction sheet with broken images and missing arrow lines, the arrow points are there, but no lines.
Do I now have to master Resin to plastic model-building, AND paper puzzle skills?



yep.
I really could've scratchbuilt the entire rear end and made it look better than these kit parts fit together.

Wow, that is rough. But at least you have their design to work off of to scratch build the Dave pattern medusa siege cannon.

Yeesh. Considering what they charge, you'd expect better, right? FW stuff always seems to be a bit of a gamble...

@theo - Dude, I'm totally going to do that! Great Idea!

Meh, this one will be glued shut, no big deal, it'll just sit at a table corner shooting until it dies anyway.

The Gap in the front was so atrocious, I blessed it with holy rivets to hide it's shame from the world

Then a little square rod as a step-down plate


And I had to build the rear hinges completely and join them with the hydraulic arm.

Now there's a ton of putty work to do, but not nearly as much if I'd kept that gap. I would've ended up sanding the rivets off in the process.

one tech priest using metric the other using standard imperial measurements.

Right under the barrel is always a nice spot for sandbags too though that would cover the Holy Rivet.

The Techpriest has calculated that although the Vehicle is more valuable to the Machine-God than the crew, there is a 31.7487% higher chance the vehicle survives longer with intact fleshbag crew.

Some paint on the buggy, then I decided It needed some additional lights



What do you guys think of giving the buggy this treatment?

I figured once you did the driver, gunner and storage there would definitely be some flockage (or whatever it's called, surely not drapery ).

Yes to the additional lights

I think that the camp netting would be cool looking, but easy to over do, so be careful.

Any chance you can send me pics of the Warlord Titan in that book?

Sheesh, that's some wonky resin !

I can't see the third picture so not sure what you're planning ? I would say though, a rack of lights on the roll bar above the drivers head might be an idea...

@whale - sure, I'll PM you
@ruglud - it's a UK Army buggy of some sort with Ghillie netting draped all over it. Another rack of lights on top would look col, but a gunner will go up there
@Theo- we'll call it ghillie drapery
@fifty - I agree

Camo netting is actually the right term if that helps

I'm kink of liking Dave's naming of it

moar paint

Looking really good! Those changes that you made to zinges buggy look seamless.

The extra headlights really help out. Plus the paint job is looking great too .

Thanks Theo! Thanks Scarper

I'm officially tired of painting this Taurox. I NEED something different to paint. It's a lot of work that no one seems interested in really.

It's interesting since it's a conversion kitted out, but I've never liked the design of the Taurox from GW. The gun change has helped a lot, but as most GW vehicles look like tanka trucks(and not in a good way), I've just never been endeared to the model.
