Post pictures later? Only if my ninjas fail in their sacred duty!

Thanks for sending the anime ninja's with boobs... they were quite enjoyable

SOooooo amongst my slacking I got a few things done.

I built a pile of random models I had sitting around



I worked a little on my traitor guard



And now I am working on Project X... SOmehting I have needed to get out of my stack of boxes for some time now!

It involves these




and all of the contents of this massive box of resin



Any guesses??

Ooh, what a lot plastic crack! Building an leviathan perhaps?

Not a leviathan no In fact 2 seperate Apocalypse units

More previews tonight after I get the body assembled

As promised here is my progress so far on the first of 2 projects.

I took some of these very nice track parts



And started to fit them up to the baneblade chassis



I ended up having to trim off all of the stock *alignment tabs* to get things to fit nicely, but not a huge deal. I also ended up taking one *link* out of the track on the main flat for slightly better fitment



After minimal fussing and messing around here is hte final product



Can you see where I screwed up?

How bout now?



As with all resin conversion kits I have ever worked with there is always some fine trimming and fitting to get things to fit nice and tight!



Has anybody figured out what I am building yet??

And how bout now, can you see what I screwed up now?



Thankfully an easy fix as the glue had not completely welded it together yet

This is way too much fun!
Has anybody figured out what I am building yet??

It's almost 6pm and almost time to go back to my room at work and continue building whoop!

??

Fellblade, Plaguereaper, and/or a Doomblaster???

Tower of skulls? The one from apoc reload.

Leave it to JB to get the 1st of 2 big bad tanks right!

Here is tonight's progress:

Trim, trim, trim



Fitting better already





Tops and sides fit well



Say hello to my little friends



eep.... time for a mid model cleaning! Limited desk space = no room for mess!


And now on to more trimming



and more fitting



I just realized exactly how massive an amount of bitz I'm going to have left over after this!

I may have to buy 2 more tanks and make some magnetized units with interchangeable turrets

More to follow tomorrow!

Tomorrow will be mold release compound removing day and maybe time to glue my second track together

That Doomblaster is going to be amazing!

I am still curious about the other one. I will dispatch a flock of servo skulls to spy on you.

Hmmm. You have a Shadowsword kit so you might be crafting an unholy Falchion or Decimator.

Forget the servo skulls. I think a Grey Knight task force needs to descend upon your office and wipe clean the taint of chaos.

Haha! right on the money without seeing a single part of the kit!

At some point I need to remember to thank Machinator for the wicked kits

Thought so

I remember Machinators one, so yours should look equally sick. Nice progress!

That one serious bad boy! I would kitbash/scratchbuilt a plague lord or something with the leftovers.

Thanks! They are beautiful kits and I can't to have them finished. The tracks especially are a very very nice touch!

I will have to pull them all out ans see what I actually have left over. basically the whole top half of the tank from what I can tell.

If they don't end up being another superheavy for my army they could very easily end up as part of an ork model for my brother's army.
That project however will stay in the background for a bit

You have an insane amount of miniatures...

Should definitely get some proper painting done! Love the traitor guard.

Insane is the truth! I really need to stop buying more... oh wait... my Main army is the next codex released... Damn you GW for getting me addicted to plastic crack!!!!!...

I agree. I really need to start painting up squads of dudes and just getting them out of the way one block at a time.


On a different note I did make quite a lot of progress last night

I got the second track built



There are a few joints that I am going to have to GS but In general the track kit was excellent. Nothing a small amount of mud won't hide

I washed all of the resin parts and started gluing stuff on like crazy



The back end



Once I got the main body permanently glued it was time to fit the cannons again









I should be able to finish this one up before I go to sleep tonight

Then on to the tower of skulls!

P.S. I really really need to remove that imperial eagle on the front of this thing...

Hopefully I can also get started on the Tower of Skulls

So I acheived both of my goals last night.

Here is the completed Doomblaster







I'm very pleased with the final product and can't wait to paint it up!

Now I just need to tackle this mess



Resin parts always come hand in hand with a pile of trimming!



I got everything rough trimmed last night and ready to wash tonight.

After I get the parts washed I will more than likely be assembling the Baneblade chassis in prep for parts to be added

This is super fun!

Looking great logg! That really is a beast of a kit.

Is Machinator still selling his superheavy stuff?

He has an eBay store that sells quite a few conversion parts.

I purchased these kits directly from him outside of eBay.
Very nice guy, wonderful work!

You're welcome

The Doomblaster is looking nice! Can't wait to see it painted up.

Good luck with the Tower of Skulls. If you have any questions on how it goes together let me know.

Haha! Thanks for stopping in!

I guess this means I don't need to email you pictures anymore

I looked over the parts as I was removing flash and mold channels yesterday and I think I have a good handle on the model but I will get a hold of you if I have any trouble

As far as paint I will spray this when I get home next week and see how far I get!

Sooooo I got a little lazy tonight and am going to bed early but I got a few things done first:


here is the fun from last night.... soooo much scrap


I clipped out the new Baneblade body



and washed this massive pile of parts



What the hell have I gotten myself into?? lol

and here I just test fit the new upper body on the hellcannon chassis



Apparently the back end is wider than the front... Thankfully it doesn't make a difference on the other model

Bed time!! ZZZzzzZZZ

That is so huge and so awesome and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

You've already got one of the hardest parts done- trimming the flash. Man that must have been an arduous task. Well done so far.

Thanks Skalk!

Yeah it's a paint but with the right tools isn't too bad at all

There will still be lots of trimming and fitting of parts to make them mate up well Resin is almost never perfect.

I have however been very impressed with the fitment of these kits so far ! I just need to find myself a piece of sandpaper to clean up some flat edges

So I got quite a bit of work done yesterday again.

I assembled the basic Baneblade chassis and then went after the first section of the tower.



It took a little bit of figuring out to get started but there are several alignment grooves and everything slid togeather smoothly in the end.



And somewhere in the middle of this I managed to glue my entire left hand..... I still don;'t know where the glue was leaking out. it's almost as though I squeezed an entire tube of glue into my hand >.<



Shortly after this I quit and went to bed

SOme of the mould release is being stubborn on these parts so I may be cleaning them again today

Haha, i hate it when that happens! At least your fingers didnt stick together

It mostly made me laugh because I got no extra glue on the model but my whole left hand was covered and I managed to glue my left shorts leg to my leg

^ One time, I was on the phone to Mabrothrax when he was still a GW staffer and he superglued the phone to both his hand and his head. Fun times.

Btw, there's still an aquilla on the front of that chassis, logg...

I must purge the filth of the false emperor from my daemon engine!

Here is tonight's progress.

I kinda wish some of the lines were a little tighter but There is not a lot of room for adjustment up here



The pile of bits is now looking a little more manageable

O nly have 5 more days to assemble this before I go home I better get a move on!

I got some more done last night:

Cleaned and trimmed all these little bitz



Annnnnd TADA! Once again I wish i could have made some of the lignes tighter but it looks good anyway



Is that Dakka in the background?



And finally a quick test fit on the chassis before bed



I plan to finish off the last few bitz on the top tonight and then start work on the chassis. I haven't started trimming tracks yet so the chassis is going to be at least 2 days out 4 more days before I have to move it
