Wonderful level of detailing, really complements hk1x1's build. And that display board for Gits - wowzers... I do wonder though... either it's massive or Gits is a Hobbit

Thank you all.

@ Gits, You are most welcome sir, glad it arrived OK, now want to see some troops on it.
@ Graven, Thank you.
@ Yorkright, Thank you very much.
@ Theo, Blooming thing is 2 feet square so it is big, Gits aint that small.
@ Whalemusic Thanks bud, thought it might be Morty, not sure now, think I will have a go myself see how I compare.
@ OMN, Thank you sir, coming from you that means a lot. Also see below a pic from Knightly his Warhound is a fantastic piece, I hope I get half as good a result.
@ Ruglud, Honestly Gits is not a hobbit, I have seen pics with him and other people around, mind you it may have been a hobbit convension!! Thanks for the kind words.

Did get some boring stuff done today priming type stuff, no pics, too boring.

Here are some pics of where I have started in on the cockpit area in the head.
Made a "tray" so I can remove the crew compartment...


Not sure if Nerdy hangs this low down the food chain, but I remember he asked how I did the lighting on those specimen jars, Same as this, I cut up a electrical LED tea light, 4 for a £1 at the pound shop. got to work a little on the switching mechanism, but stuffed it in the nose...


Dug about and found some likely looking crew...


Make sure they fit...


And I have done a little more but not anything worth showing, just yet.

Finish up with a borrowed pic from the amazing Knightley's Warhound build, this is what you get if you go buy a proper model.


Hope he does not mind me borrowing his pic, the end results are such a wonderful build, and paint job. One of the main influences for this project.

This Warhound will be going to SirDonald of Dakka Dakka, apparrently his Warhound needs some protection.

Well thank you guys and dolls, Please keep the comments coming, really help.

Of course he's no hobbit. Everybody knows hobbits went extinct in Wisconsin decades ago. Gnomes however, well, Wisconsin is lousy with 'em. I suspect Gits may have a tall red conical hat somewhere. (And I do hope he has a sense of humor about this. )

Crew looks like it'll do just fine.

So, I open up the thread and saw the underside and thought, oh wow, he primed and base coloured that quickly! and he's doing a mighty grey behemoth as well... hang on a second, that is very similar to mine.... oh, it is, how cool is that!

Of course I have no concerns with the use of the pic, its for a good cause!

The crew look just right - particularly the one that's going to be the princeps, looking up and right like theres a screen up there - loadsa character, love it!
I can't wait to see your take on the weapons; Particularly the Titanic-scale Irrad-Cleanser!
I've been constantly impressed by your resourcefulness looking back at this thread - often open-mouthed too!

I aim to have a special welcome party ready for the 'Iustus Indignatio' - it will be a day recorded and archived permanently by the servo-scribes in every sector.

Thanks guys.

OK little progress, some base coating and mucking about.

Crew

Head..


Knees and toes...


Will be adding more to these, but as Vik pointed out before there are areas that need to be painted earlier rather than layer...

Thanks for looking.

Oooo paint. Crew is looking good, ready for action.

I am totally jelly of that Titan. It'll be cool to have a unique Titan out there. Looking forward to the weapons as well.

This is too cool, the legs are really impressive. Awesome work dude.

Paint going on now.... awesome pace, and fantastic work. Looking really good! Nice find on the crew as well.

Oh wow, that build is coming along nicely mate!

Cam, you are amazing.

That is an obscene amount of metal you have painted.

I'm certain you'll be able to surpass that, no worries.

That is a heck of a Warhound - amazing scratchbuild, and I've seen quite a few over the years. Particularly great hydraulics and armor plating. Nicely done!

Great start with the metal - really looks like stuff from an old school machine shop.

And here I am, thinking gluing molded resin pieces together is hard hard work

Thank you everyone.

@ Grim, Thank you.
@ Whalemusic360, Thank you, and weapons soon.
@ Tom, Thank you dude.
@ Mad, Thanks, got lucky with the crew.
@ Meph, Thank you sir.
@ Dave, Shocks dude, you guys are my inspiration so give yourselves a pat on the back too.
@ OMN, And that is just the start!
@ Kestral, Thank you.
@ CragHack, Welcome, and it's easy bud, honest.

Done a little bit, work interfering again.

Some control panels.


And started painting, got a fair bit of clean up to do.



OK thats it for tonight, more tomorrow I hope.

Thanks for looking, and thoughts always welcome.

Well, when I opened up this thread after seeing the "building a warhound" title, this was not what I expected to see.

This is just bloody amazing. I am blown away.

Wow. Just...wow.

Lovely consoles and lights bro

You sir show that you've learned so many lessons in building and painting...I currently follow mostly silent your work...but every time I see you've updated its for sure an eye opener!

Blinking hell dude, that console is brilliant. Great use of color.

Thank you everyone,

@ Azazelx, Thank you sir, honoured to see you here.
@ Josh, Thanks bud. Your chariot is brilliant, really inspiring me, I fancy a 40k Champion in a Jet chariot/pod racer type thing, probably been done loads, but I fancy a go, mainly thanks to your work.
@ Graven, Thanks bud.
@ Vik, Great to see you about, feel honoured to have pulled you out for a comment.
@ Theo, Thanks bud.

Done a little to the cockpit and head, and a few bits of paint, but this is just an update to say I have jumped on the band wagon, bit late really, but thanks to an overwhelmingly, generous Patron of the Art, I decided to treat myself...



Really fancy the Nurgly side, and the Primary School Kids on the Block might get a makeover too. Said before, love the look of that flying Morty and might have a go.

Well thanks for looking in, and thank you so much for the feedback guys, really appreciated.

Did you see a better pic of Morty got leaked? Paint job on him is eh, but I'm excited to see him in the mix.

That looks pretty cool, but I am not sure it is where I wanted to go, maybe just the paint job, not sure.

Well OK couple of pics of where we are on this little puppy.






So it all has a basic lick of paint, still tons to add, and yet to look seriously at the guns, leg metal is coming on.

Thanks for looking.

Looking good. Mortarion model looks pretty incredible, exciting.

Nurgle, eh? Hmmm...maybe your exactly the one to not only make them gross looking but have them with a bit of character and suffering, what I think most peeps tend to forget about...

Some how the current look of yon warhound reminds me of optimus prime..

Camkierhi,

Great work on the cockpit and crew and the controls.

Cheers,

CB

Thanks peeps,

Update WIP shots, body paint....







Oh and Shinagami-Ren is working on some bits, going to get her watching some videos I think. She is a bugger for updating her blog, so I will show you a WIP of one of her experiments.



Thanks for looking in and as always C&C welcome and encouraged.

Those starscape panels are excellent . Warhound is really coming along!

That... spider lady? That's come up very creepy! Interesting choice to have the human legs as well as full compliment of spider legs. Differentiates it from a drider/spiderqueen though.

So much win hereabouts.

That warhound is looking excellent Cam, hats off to you on a great job so far.
