The League of Extraordinary Riveters. You'll see them wander into your thread soon enough. Watch people's signatures.

And, yeah, you have to join, but they don't spam you. They have really great templates in there, well worth it.

I'm just a kitbasher, not a scratchbuilder.

don't know, i'd say that nuketank was pretty 'sculpted', alot of resourceful creativeness there.

At your request, here I am!

Npoe for the muzzle break, I recommend a file, and make some "vents" for the Battle cannon, you have some very interesting ideas, I would avoid the figure eight treads.

Ah, I both Kit Bash as well as Scratch build, to be a =L='er, you must also use RIVETS!

thank you for your presence

muzzle break? been thinking bout the vents, will do for sure.

yeah does look a bit plain compared to your riveted kings, cheers!

Otherwise, the shape looks tight, love the louvered engine vent concept!

Easiest if the copy of the Phaeton pattern turret, once you get more comfortable with the making of things,m the more Germanic angled turrets will be easier to tackle.

cheers again!

which is the phaeton pattern turret?

The older Leman kits used what GW called the Phaeton pattern turret

Yeah sick! i have the templates for the old ones

Okay, good

the new turret looks very good... with all those added details it looks very good...!

and with some further added details *coughsrivetscoughs* you are on the road to winning^^

and yes...for the leaque i have to see rivets aplenty first...

and brian...kitbashing or scratchbuilding...either way... the devotion of rivets is what matters!

i have no riveting enabling devices unfortunately :(

well if you have styrene rods then just slice´em! that is always a good start... or if you want more rounded rivets then you could drill small holes in the armor plates and add small beads as rivets... and shaso did many of his creations with PVA glue rivets...

hmmmm :/ i shall ponder this, maybe some on the track gauds

aye! you will see it adds a ton of awesomesauce to any scratchbuild model!

^ Can't agree more! a model without rivets looks ok.. But a model WITH rivets looks awesomely amazing!

Plus it adds to the look of realism..






OH! And btw, That new turret looks amazing! did you sculp that "commanders hatch"?

Where I come from we call that Bad Ass !

at didde... i bet that´s some SM rhino or predator hatch...

yes it is

tanks duudes!
rivets will be added

"yes it is" what what did you answer?

Yes, he salvaged a spare rhino cupola for his tanks, I do the same thing on my scratch built beauties.

Now to see the rivets,,,,Oh yeah, I used the small tips from superglue like on Zap-a -Gap on a PVA glue bottle small enough to fit it and learned how to size the glue almost liie a candy maker in that PVA rivet method!

follow this man´s lead and you are set! sounds easy but isn´t...but when you get the hang of it you get the cheapest but good looking rivets around!!!

DiDDe wrote:"yes it is" what what did you answer?

oops. it is sm

pva glue they said, so pva glue i'll try

...catching up on sleep atm
