Welcome back.

i can't wait to see some of that imperial guard!

Well, thank you guys, nice welcome back

Ok been working on the RMM (Rabz Mobile Mekshop), got some pics, not sure what to do about competition entry as I have already posted an entry and these are modifications. Not all are complete at this moment.

Anyways pics.

Cargo netting storage on heli deck.




Crew




Forward mounted close combat weapon...



As always please comment, let me know your thoughts.

@ DiDDe. Will post a pic of what I have, not really that much, Only about 5 tanks couple sentinels and 80ish guard.

Hey cam, in response to an earlier posts, is spelled Asperger's I show some mildish traits of it, and made it to 49 so far despite it, but then again I just have fairly low levels of the syndrome based on self tests online and other factors, Being aware makes me fight it when the tendencies show up.

hey cam... love the cargo "additions! specially the more open one...I will need to try that on my own...!

as for the comp...ask comrade panda directly... I am sure there is a way around... some projects never truly get over the finishing line... there is always some minor touch-ups and additions

Good work on the cargo storage. Looks good.
Crew look good.
I can just imagine the lamp on the ccw juddering and flickering as the motor runs...

pretty sweet cargo.. though that saw... it just seems to OTT oo guard! yay guard.

Ok got some news....

Firstly thank you guys.

Been bit busy to do much, but have started on a new project blog.

Camkierhi's Other Stuff.....

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/540699.page

Currently Imperial Guard.

Please drop by and leave a thought.

Do not worry, I will not be abandoning this blog, this is my main effort.

@ shasolenzabi. Thank you for sharing. Was trying to remember the spelling off the top of my head, actually got several books and been trying to learn as much as possible. It's such a wide field, it's tough going.

@ Viktor von Domm. Thank you. Feel free as with anything you see here. I do not claim any originality. Often I do things, and after realise I have seen it many months or even years ago. But I think the whole point here is to share and put it out there, let people tell you what they think. Good or bad.

@ DrH. Thank you. My thinking behind the light was it would blind the enemy, more than light the way. I also can imagine it juddering around a lot.

@ cormadepanda. Thank you. yes not sure myself. Going to give it a rest I think just for a minute, look back at it in a bit, with fresh eyes. Got so many ideas for it, cant fit them all in. Actually found some grots I purchased as crew for this a while back in a bits box, too late, crew done. And please come look at my guard, I need all the help there I can get.

Well sorry no pics here tonight, will be soon promise. I am hoping that the next comp is flyers and they will let me use the warkopta, so I can finish that off. If not I will be working on other competitions, there are many on at the mo.

Liking the new chainsaw addition to the mekshop, very nice

@ shasolenzabi. Thank you for sharing. Was trying to remember the spelling off the top of my head, actually got several books and been trying to learn as much as possible. It's such a wide field, it's tough going.

It's not so easy to live with at times either!

That I truly believe. I empathise, though I admit to not knowing enough. I hope I have not offended.

i am with you...to the very letter!!!

Ok so, going to do a little run down on how I made the lamp.

So firstly I have to truly apologise, because the tubing I am using is from a bulk batch I got from China, and does not have any coding. I do have some comparison and the measurements of the actual tube I used.

The parts....

That's:
A 6mm BB pellet.(plastic ball) Used for airsoft guns.

A piece 10mm long of 6mm dia. Tube. (close equivalent Evergreen styrene no.228)
A piece 8mm long of 7.8mm dia. tube. (close equivalent Evergreen styrene no.230)
A piece 6mm long of 10mm square tube.
2 x rivet heads of your choice.
Small piece copper wire.

You will need:

Superglue/styrene glue.
Hot glue gun.
Sharp knife.

Well really simple here. Glue the 2 tubes together, offset. You want the ball to be behind the front edge of the bigger tube. So about 6.5-7mm.
While that's setting chop up the square tube. Cut out one side. Then you can glue the round tubes between this, Make sure you leave a gap at the bottom. You can add a couple of rivets to act as hinge pins on the outside.


Next drill a hole in the BB to accommodate the copper wire which should be quite long. Put a blob of hot melt glue inside the 6mm tube and inset the wire through until the BB is set into position, fiddle with the glue best you can, it is going to be a pain, but it cleans up nice enough in the end. That's about it really. The wire coming out the back can be trailed off to be put into a box or somewhere else, The wire helps keep it all stuck together.






I think I will take a bit more time in the future. Could green stuff up the back. Could probably actually pivot the light on a rod. The one I put on my Demolisher for my Imperial Guard I magnetized, So I can pivot it or remove it. The one here I stuck to a chainsaw. Going to do a lot more of these. It gives a nice round lens.



I recon you guys can improve on this no end. Hope its helpful. C & C welcome. Please leave a thought.

Cheers

Genius, I was reading at Dave thread and hoping to see this beauty... and You just delivered, thanks

yes!....cool tut mister....!

i think the measurements are not that of big importance here as one can play at home with what they have at hand... bigger lamps or even smaller ones are thus also doable...

what matters is that you solved quite some big issues here mate!

i will fondly remember this in the fullnes of time!

thanks!

Well here we go, one of the comps is speed.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/541865.page

So time to get some love to the warkopta.

So this is as is.




Got a lot of work to do, so what do we think guys?

Nice, glad You're in

Got a lot of work to do, so what do we think guys?

Thanks guys.

Ok here we go.

First up I made a light unit, you know the one that they have red and green for jump!!

Hope it's self explanatory, again a BB pellet but this time I introduced a grill made from aluminium mesh, (the stuff used for car body repairs,)

Last pic is showing a bit of paint on the thing, let me know your thoughts.

Nice one, You're moving along pretty fast... for the Fast comp

Very cool lights.
Coming along nicely.

Are you going to do something on the flat bit above the cockpit?

Thanks.

And......yes........no idea yet what, but yes.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Maybe some lights, or a trophy rack, or someone sat up there for the fun of it.

... your mekaniaks are awesome.

Thank you and welcome.

Update:

Not had much time to model this week and been missing it like crazy.

Have done some work on the warkopta....."Uwee".

So done some work on a Rokkit launcher, to be mounted under front end.



And done some work on the Tail Rotor.

The parts.


Assembled.


Fuel tank!!!


And started on crew....one of the pilots.




Your thoughts as always are needed, thank you.

Here's where I at...

Nice work Cam, your vision for kit bashes is amazing

Agreed, nice work.
Tail rotor assembly is amusingly Orky. Good job.

That's Brilliant! You've perfected the light technique by slicing the BBs in half! Now I need to catch up on your blog, thanks for pointing me to this and the comp!

i love the barrel on the tail... that is a most hilarious and orky thing to do!!!

that light thingy you did... i was totally liking it without the mesh... you have to do that again and then without any mesh over the lights... your lese effect was very good!!!! after the mesh that good looking detail was gone :(

one question mister...how did you got the tail to look so orky? what was that material you used on there (the black plasticcrard???)

cheers, vik
