How about a grot with a lasso trying to catch your dark talon by the cannon? like trying to catch an errant balloon escaping the stage show

You are silly man

Me? Silly? Never..... Crazy yes, silly no Its amazing how often they both get mixed up

Point taken on the base... although I still think the stand should be higher given the wing span and the wing angle, but I will keep that to myself for now

You do that the whole point is to hide the flight stand, after all.
Also, dreamforge has a sale on, and I have money in my PayPal.
Dang.

...

Wife doesn't need a birthday present, right?

Or, "Hey look, I got you a giant death robot dear!"

Yeah, that'll work...

Hope you have a comfortable couch...

Who wouldn't want a giant death robot for their birthday Especially a poseable one

If I bought my wife a Dreamforge Leviathan for her birthday I wouldnt need my very comfortable couch.

She would become a fully posable death dealing robot all by herself, complete with rolling pin shaped mace!!

BUt I think you should get it, if funds allow, you deserve a distraction/ treat

I'm not one to tell you either way, but I have two of the 28mm plastic ones and a 15mm one along with a 28mm mortis and a 28mm resin crusader, so I'm a little partial .

its not allowed to be a distraction for you though.

Get a few buddies go ether near you to order and get the free shipping (once again I'm not condoning nothing )

No free shipping on sale stock :(

maybe if it was a FLYING death robot?

Irresistable surely......

Quite.

Working on the stem. Rivety enough?

er....where did younadd rivets to the stand? or am I thinking the wrong way here? I thought you would paint the stand up to the floodlights and after that it will stay clear....question: if so, then it could do in the lower part with some rivets too...just saying...

How did you do those rivets?

I've added some riveted plastruct (cannibalised from a kid's race track) to the base of the flight stand. That make sense? There will also be cabling running down from the lights.

Wow, cool, In the spirit of nuttiness I say yes to the cabling but with mini-squigs or snotling on little hamster wheels powering the lights

See crazy, not silly

That way madness (alright, further madness) lies...

I've decided, though, that Vik is right ( why did I ever doubt this? ) and it needs to be rivet-t-ier:

Otherwise, I might as well hand my =L_= card back... There will also be a bit of gs gap filling, although it IS orky

What do we think of the addition of these plates to the base? I really don't know how to tackle it at all, I think these plus a couple of bits of treadplate maybe

I'm also thinking about a small banner running down the middle of the lights with HOT BLAK on it. Yay/nay?

Cheers peeps,
graven

I think the pllates look fine! Are you going to still use the boarding ramp for the guitar/singer too?

Oh and you need to make a footpedal sound effect thingy for your lead ork gutarist, maybe a wee bunch of squigs on a board with cables going to an amplifier/speaker, so He can get cool noizez from 'iz axe wen 'e riffzz....

And a baner is a cool idea... Battle ov da Bandz!!

Anuvver fawt, from my feva'd mek mind!! Turn dem plates on da base onto deir sidez, an chop em down a wee bit. Den put da bordin ramp across it az a mini stage for da singa and gittarist or summat!
You can put moar SPEAKAZ under it for da squig peddles wich da gittarist uzes for da fun skweally affekts!!

Simples

Yay...looking good. The banner is a definite yes, and a bit of treadplate never goes amiss.

The boarding ramp is still happening, yes.
Some of your ideas might be a bit ambitious but...
I do like the idea of a Waargh-Waargh pedal


...

Okay, so can't find plastruct tread plate.
So,plan B, which I actually now prefer: folding stage made of rhino doors:



And with the band:


Note pedal squig and e generator

That just leaves the banner and wires. - a job for when Mrs Graven is out with the girls having a well deserved and much needed cocktail or 3

Rhino doors just as good as treadplate..even better to an orc

Lookin' mighty fine.

Squig-pedal is classy, was looking at the first pic, and followed it to your pb account to try and get a good look at 'that interesting purple thing he's left lying around'.

Yay!!! da skwig pedal made it!!!

Seriously its looking great, so a folding stage for touring eh?? very impressive... Which festival will they hit next?
R-Ork Ness?

It is looking really good, with the banner, perfect and then stop I think or it will start to look too busy and crowded.

You're a crazy man graven. I mean I'm really big on basing... but you're off the hook... completely.

Thanks mate it's an old helldorado gribbly that just feels so very squiggly!

Yeah I have to say I need to stop now! next stop Glastorkbury... 40kth anniversary tour!
Speaking of which - cables!

Um, I think that's good? This has some serious danger of taking over my life!

In dat case STOP!! in da name of da LAW!

Looks great

you can never hand in your riveter card graven...the card is just the physical means to show you´ve been baptised for the league...

the stand looks awesome...the riveted plates the rhino doors...super cool find! and the tentacles that all together with the band... awesomesauce for sure!

You're OK as long as you don't actually mount working LEDs into those spot lights and put in tiny speakers blaring "Bolt Thrower" or some kind of Norwegian death metal.

LEDs would have been awesome, but that would have needed planning earlier

I do actually have some for this but decided against it in the end.

...

Also I saw Bolt Thrower on amazon mp3 for £3 and was genuinely tempted.

Looking great how about a trailer?

Shaddup

Ok, so while priming in the garage, other stuff.
Firstly, this looks ropey because this is black inking, heavy shading and smoking also. Fear not, true believers!


More pressingly, or possibly depressingly, a rhino distraction:

A rhino distraction?
It just needs a tidy up pf the areas where the black went astray and I am sure it will look fine... I have faith
