Heres my first picture post on Dakka, hope you like the conversion.

Its a model I converted a while back for a GW competition. Sadly I didn't place, but I'm still hella proud of it

Very nice! The details you've added are really good!

Although the paint job isn't excellent, the scale of it is awesome!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments guys

Yes the paint job was very rushed to say the least, I was working to a deadline and I wasn't moving quite fast enough. Although I dont claim to be an amazing painter, given more time I think the paint job could be vastly improved.

It's a good effort for sure. Towers could use more detail to blend them in with the rest of the vehicle. Back looks great (very gothicky) though you seem to be missing the rear cover for the tracks on the left side.

What I'm trying to figure out is where that ops room is with the blue lights.

Yeah my mistake, I forgot to replace the track armor when I took the photos. Its actually a removable part that covers the switch for the interior lights, theres an identical one on the other side.

And as for the ops room, its at the very bottom of the vehicle. What was previously an assault ramp is the entrance to that room.

Dude very cool, nice idea well executed.

The only comment I would make is that the roof needs detailing, tile effect or something, just to break it up a little.

Looks great, man. I'd like to play against it.

Was there a reason you mixed Cadians and Vostroyan troops on it? Is there a backstory for it?

That is a good point, and I could actually still do that without compromising the model.

kronk wrote:Was there a reason you mixed Cadians and Vostroyan troops on it? Is there a backstory for it?

There isn't actually a backstory for it, I used the vostroyan models because there armor gave me an opportunity to blend them in with the gothic feel of the vehicle and cities of death building. The cadian gunner I added just to look badass

A backstory is a cool idea though, I could see myself writing a fluff piece inspired by this.

Thanks for the comments all!

I would have to agree with the roof comment, it just seems a little flat. NOT to detract from how unbelievably awesome this is!

I love the command room with the working light and well the whole scale of it. It definitely reminds me of a leviathon. I can picture untold missions to play against/with this beast. Things like this are the whole reason I started playing 40k. Great work.

I like the pic with the leman russ driving up inside. Very cool. I see why you didnt place though, and oddly enough, I think its because the roof on that looks plain. If you added roofing tiles or something similar, it would of probably placed at least. Pretty cool work though

Very awesome. If I was going to be picky, I think you can clean up the joints between the towers and the tips. I also agree with KingCracker that it could use a bit more detail on the roofing.

With all the detail that the inside contains the roof deserves some slats! Great job, very impressive modelling.

That's just awesome, you may not have placed at the competition but you've got every damn right to be proud of it. Very nice!!

The roof with towers make it look incomplete because they are plain compared to the rest. I think that may have been why; shouldn't take much to pretty it up a bit and then try again.

Then you get that 1 that you scratch your head and think, I know these are all men that submitted....and all the judges are men....so whos the gay/bi one? Because thats the only way I can figure that mini got in there, a quicky in a closet
