Oh you know the "rivet-gun" is going to see a lot of use!

This was just the debut, I will have a 40k soldier for scale for the next sequence before priming as I must add rivetty-rivets!


@Mad4minis: Oh, I have a nice chestnut or other dark wash waiting to bathe those treads in, before I slop the mud all over them, then the last wash to add depth to the "dirt"

lord_blackfang wrote:Those look like nice casts, if a bit plain. Can we get some scale shots next to 40k minis?

The Old Crow stuff is great, I have one of their Sabre tanks. They are a bit plain, but the lines/casting is as crisp as can be, and the come very well finished...he actually sands any irregular mating surfaces and such. I definitely plan to buy more in the future. Im thinking I may pick up a couple of those little scout trucks. for 7 GBP they cant be beat.

So, before I went to pop rivets all over thee fine vehicles and prime them, I was asked about a 40k model set next to them for size reference, and I felt that a Catachan would do just fine for the job as most here know fy\ull well wht it is and that it shows how the new tanks and other vehicles are in the Chimera size and smaller based on this volunteer's service of posing with the differing vehicles.
With the smallest to the largest

the casting material of OC looks a bit different for me this time...

great rage of tanks and assorted vehicles you have got!

the BMP-99 looks for me the best atm... but that might be changing after some serious riveting!

congratz to that mucho suply drop!

and a happy new year mate!

Thanks for those pics. I definitely wanna get some of those buggies.

Rivetted one of the Lancer alternative turrets, and one attack buggy, and the P/U-truck version of the buggy. I also did a checkof size compared to the "Sabre"(T-104) and the MBT-90D and found the T-103 may be better classed as a 15ton tank, making it a licht-panzer!

No problems, having a soldier for size workj helps a lot of folks see how well they could integrate these vehicles into their armies, just a few minor adjustments and voila!

Oh yeah, now for the turret pics, mounted on the "lancer" or BMP-100 hull

I think adjusted flash will work best while they are unpainted.

No flash at all, looks like a sodium bulb effect when I do not use flash.

Back showing stowage bin. this turret has yet to get rivets!

aye, rivets are definatly needed... turrets will be mounted later on to the lancers?

These are for when I want some transports with the "Auto-cannon" option from Imperial Armor books(still need to order that one for the costs of the cannon.)

Otherwise the half as large servo turrets will suffice.Carries troops and a bigger gun with the new turret, amazing eh!?

well you gotta protect your p(l)ayload of soldiers^^

Exactly! One must provide decent fire support for the lads!

I like those vehicles, especially the heavy and super-heavy tanks. Just a solid lump of thick armor and a gun, no baroque foolishness. I wish they would make some battlemech-type vehicles in 30MM scale with the same design aesthetic.

Well, some of the vehicles Old Crow makes are also in G.E.V.(hover craft) or anti-grav options. For my tatses, I went with tracked and wheeled as my Tau/Necrons already have enough anti-grav to go around!

Wow mate, this is an awesome project, very impressed, great color scheme too I can't believe I'm seeing this for the first time right now.

Well there are also the pages of odd banter between Vik Von Domm and myself to wade through as well. But I do try and show the odder bitz and vehicles here.

I might need some of those buggies and orkify them for the boyz with them and the one kromleach has they will ride in style.

what? just sharing the true deal with our threads, plain as the nose on ones' face, and the attack buggies to boot!. Yeah, the P/U truck looks most ideal for Orkifications.

Okay, I have both "crossfire" turrets rivetted.

Of course, his uniform will be made more regular for the army, no more fancy parade colors!

That an old Warzone Orca gunner in the buggy?

Shoulderpads mark him out as non-GW.

Just checking, as I think I've got a pair of them somewhere.

just my thougt too... he showed them us waaaaaaayyyyy back many moons ago...

oh and shaso... i think this time the barrels of the OC guns needs drilling...
and not many rivets have been showing up against that still not primed material with the flash all flaring^^ but i expect you did the very best there^^

Well, when i "GW'd" my Orcas into dwarven sentinels, I gave them engines on the back so had three men out of a job, this one applied and got the job!

Oh yes, you know this highly reflective material is "hiding the awesome rivetiness, but wait, there's more!

A little more apparent on this shot.

The new light-tank. Here I think Jez was paying homage to the Scorpion/Scimitar




Now the model.

at first i thought the refference pic was a funpic... then i thought...wtf..such small tanks? well to each...their track^^

if we zoom in on the pics the rivets show up...if you know they are there...but as you are an honorific founding menber, riveting is a given^^

Lookin good! But you definately need to drill out those rocket launcher tubes and barrels methinks.

dunno...the rocket launchers could be shut... don´t they come preclosed? with a lid that bursts open when fired?

but the main gun barrels definatly should be drilled out...

The missile launchers get a color code for the Krak=Red, and Frag=Green

As for the drilling of the guns, that is planned. They have a start tap but they are not so deep, some flat black will also help with that once they are painted.

Now for tank 2

Size comparison with the Lancer, or BMP-100.
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

And that is the smaller battle-tank.

that smaller turret at the side... it is angled to the hull...i think it would look better if assembled level with the maingun...just realized that i am afraid...

Did what i could, now the odd thing about OC resin, once4 the glue is applied, it is super-bonded, more than I have ever seen!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh yeah, I added the command hatch to the top of the main turret.

well it is with all those many materials out there quite a puzzler for me what can happen^^

I think it is because he removes the oils and sands the join surfaces, making the glue live up to the term "super-glue" so if you work on a OC model, make sure you know where that piece is going, once bonded, it will take quite an effort to get them apart. (That bond is in very few seconds, so reposition FAST!)

Okay, I wanted a more manned look to the tanks, Well, at least the indications of such by adding commander hatches to the main turrets.
