Started working on the carapace details:

Hand drew this. I really ain't much of an artist, it took a while to get it right.



Then I had to trim out the half of it leaving a single piece of trimmed material. I failed that, but it was only two pieces. I used those two trimming pieces to make a mirror symetrical line for the other half of the image.





Once the whole thing is cut out I will begin making extra copies of certain pices of the image so as to creat layers. The sword was first:



But since I am very exhausted this evening that was as far as I got. I will leave it at this for scale and proportions:




Goodnight!

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the support.


I started working today on a side project that I hope to finish today. Well, at least finish it to the point where I can start making molds and casting it.

I recieved in trade a few weeks ago several very valuable MtG cards, A trio of dual lands to be exact. In return My friend asked to build him a few Tau Remora and XV-9 'counts as' models. Here is the beginning of the Remora:

A simple sketch done on a disc drawn at the right size for placement and design layout:


Addition of an infrastructure:


Build of the front vented fixture and the bottom of the frame with vents:


This one shows where the front fixture fits onto, but since I am casting these as a kit for my buddy It is only set in place right now:


Same homemade stand I used for the Storm Talon MK I, hehe:


A semi-sphere with a flat bottom added with appendages to fit the engines onto. Again not glued into place yet:


Rather poor immitation of a burst cannon (for now) and the mechanics to fit the wing, which will fold like the real one:


The engines, I have only built one and will have to cast it to make sure they are symmetrical. I suck at symmetrical so I cast certain things. It is just a few pieces of nested tubing with a few cutouts on it:



I know that looks a little crooked in the pic but I can't figure out why... It really isn't)

And everything I have for now with a little Tau lines engraved:


Still have wings to make but I think it is turning out ok.

Tell me what you think, guys....

What's wrong with that?

Chaos things are warped and twisted, It's silly to think that they would all look alike. It's not Imperial stuff right?
