HAHA, boxes are great man, boxes full of rivets are better. Glad you got the track guards, you are welcome bro.

Slept on and off for 12 hours. Trying to recover from my 13 days in a row of work. Time to make dinner then maybe some modeling. Ughhhh I am still tired to boot

take it easy dude , i feel for ya, the objective marker is great.

Ya, chill. This time of year is very demanding on all of us. Just look forward to the long, cold winter nights and weekends after the holidays ahead full of limitless modelling.

Thanks fellas! I just hate being unproductive, even when I should be. With my daughter just around the corner you guess I should take advantage while I can.

instead of making her a crib, you could always make it out of 1000's of cities of death peices wrapped on the outside of her crib!!!!! you might have to tie her down so she wont get poked up, buuut...

WIP!

nice

Very nice, sharp clean lines and angles! Love a good craet supply

Thanks guys! The best part is they take like 10 minutes to make and cost pennies!

Going to do a few more then I will set them up with camo netting. Base them with some cities of death bitz. Should turn out pretty good

Mad Marty's Ammo Dump

NICE!

But don't put too much else in there or there won't be any room left for... well... you know.

Nice crates, love to see more of em! Ever thought of casting them in resin if you do plan on having more? Love to see more.

I never thought about casting these. I wouldn't know where to start. Plus the fact I can make in about 10 minutes




Thanks for the comments fellas

Ahhhhh!.yes more would be better

Count on it friendo

Closed boxes would be very easy to cast up. Open ones would be harder without thicker walls. If you want to try it, let me know, I can give you some advice.

That might be cool to learn. Hook me up

It's been a long time since I posted so I thought I'd chime in on the crates

I think they look awesome but from a fluff point of view I can't imagine why an army would fight a battle simply to secure a crate full of lasrifles

As dsteingass said, I think they'd make a good ammo dump marker. But idk about them counting as an objective

Either way, they look great

I have used ammo crates and oil barrels for objectives for years.

I learned alot about casting from Walemusic and his blog... you got yourself a good teacher.

Talc Powder is the magic powder of amazingness

I'll write you up some pointers and sources to get ya going!

That crate looks pretty cool

Have to say that I've got some old crates and so on from (I think) the 4th edition starter set that I use for objective markers

I do have the battle field accessory bag still left. I might just do a ammo dump out of old cities of death bitz! Sounds fun to me!

First step 100% done chimeras and baneblade.

Thanks Paul and welcome back Nate! I am glad we are still internet buddies

I always wanted those round GW crates, then I got a couple sets, and I haven't touched them lol

They are super ultra-awesome Vortex Warp Cannon Lasguns. ST 12 AP -6 Assault 10. They are used to taking out Titans, Starships, or 1 entire Ork mob (unless it has a Nob).

Exactly! Didn't we have a discussion about scale recently? I agree with the fact that a platoon of guardsman wouldn't fight to the death for three lasguns, but boy they look cool

The crates will end up being a terrain piece, an ammo dump forward command style piece

Day off and motivated! It's rivet time

It will be getting it's first coat soon and notice the tie Downs for the camo netting


Comments and critiques are always welcome! Oh and the back is sealed shut. No interior for this one

There really should be rules for that upgrade. It looks so great!

Use the SM Assault Cannon stats.

That's a whole lotta Dakka sitting on that tank.
