Awesome Vehicles! Membership calibre if I've ever seen it! 
I don't know much about the rules for such a monstrosity, but more Dakka is always better. The large flat area in the back, is that a landing pad? Where would the top turret go? On top ot the bridge area? I would have to see a mock-up of the turret to form an opinion.
Great work so far! Very nice!
Muahahahahaha! New Page!

Well, it is a classic part of a Leviathan. But the usual solution of using a Baneblade Turret has always looked out of place to me.

Scratchbuilding skills negate the need to use *as much* kitbashing as the average modeller does

i think you are cpable to make up your own turret... use whatever you have at hand for this... with this embossed rivet look you get away with so much...

Well that is quite an honour, are you sure Im worthy. Ive never been part of a league before, a society, but never a league.
Ill get round to doing a mock up of the turret on top, probably something around the size of a leman russ turret. It'd have to be off centre though to allow for the access ladder on the bridge, unless of course i put 2 on the roof. Automatically Appended Next Post: The observation area is done, I have put treadplate down, but i took the picture first
I changed the layout of the lascannons from the epic model to increase the fire arcs for the weapons.
Ive made a couple of track links to see how feasible it is. I made a mold using instantmold stuff to see how well they come out, we might have scratchbuilt tracks yet

the GS made window sills looks wrong... i´d pull the GS off and make everything with plasticcard i was you... that way you get way betterlooking straight lines...
the GW bitz you added make it look very posh! good choice!
and yep... for joining the league...just add the banner in your sig and you can boast around^^

I have to agree the GS makes it look odd, just add some thin strips of plasticard over the edge and some Rivets of course and it will look great

So, the random banter has once again infested another thread.
Excellent!
montrano - I like the Balcony railing and the ladder, but I agree the front windows and the frame are lacking. I like what your doing for the Las Cannons though!
And I'm looking forward to seeing the treads!

The randomness is what i love about dakka.
Ive got a couple of mock up pictures of the roof turret to post, but £ night at the pub has made it far too dificult to post them. Although I'll try, ill see if my phone will play nice, and if the girlfriend will make me toast.
Today I was mostly putting together a malcador defender, which just fits in the leviathan.

I do intend to add a plasticard sill around the windows. I added to greenstuff partly so there wasnt a large gap between the sill an the window and partly because the acrylic for the window refused to refused to attach with any glue i own, so a greenstuff seal keeps it in Automatically Appended Next Post: centred
and off centre
Im going with off centre at the moment
