Rivet and other details going on the front section, not working on the rear section yet as I’m still not sure on the final shape and any opening/door.

Pipe work continues with the main run being extended and detailed. Found a few more bits of GW pipe to extend the smaller section and get a better feel for what else I need do or add to it.

Having messed bout with trying to do a precision piece in styrene, sequins and gobs of glue, I have a greater appreciation for just how clean and neat your work is! The large bore pipe is so well detailed that it appears a companion piece by GW for the smaller run. Excellent inspiration!

Thanks Cam, taking my head out of the game of life at the moment which is much needed. Too much stress
Anyhow been messing with walkways and ladders and have mocked up a first attempt. No bothered with too much detailing yet as not so sure on the finished setup but overall like the effect, may rework the ladder as it looks a little crude but will see how I feel the next time I work on it.

A double garage should give you enough room to continue this awesome work. Do share your setup when you get all settled and sorted!

I love the ladders and walkways... in fact, this whole piece is really wonderfully detailed. The rivets look great, the scale is spot on, and I bet it will be great in-game too... some LoS blocking, a high ground position, and a cool corner to define roads or corridors. Awesome design!

Cheers all and hello there neighbour,
So the temp mancave is set up,,
the previous owners had a workshop in the back of one of the garages that we didn’t see until after we moved in, and it’s bloomin perfect for my needs, power, lights and shelving, a bit rough round the edges but at least I can get going again while we sort out which part of the house we are going to convert to a 5th bedroom. Oh it couldn’t get any better at the moment,

Well SOMEONE just won the garage lottery!

And those are nicely standard shelf brackets, which means you can easily expand!

This is an amazing project!
What are you using to make your bolts/rivets?
I use tiny half-round beads for large rivets, and little drops of uv glue (Laser Bond) for tiny rivets.

Evening smurfmaster and thanks,

For rivets I use a hollow punch, for the nuts and bolts I use the meng detail sets,

Captain brown, the move went very well thanks, just did not get a lot of notice, 6 months of waiting to get 10 days notice of confirmation and actually moving, the only casualty was the engine compartment of the space hauler that got started and stalled due to lack of space,

Having some time off Warhammer modelling for a while as I’m working on model railways for a bit. Probably be a month or so until I’m back in the swing of it all.
