Intriguing, twin Vickers like the idea , mind you I think you should have a lewis gun fitted on the turret just incase of air attacks !

Have you seen "Zinge" he produces some special little pieces like lights they might have the right kind of feel for this I might have a picture……..



Here you go the round ones.

Zinge? whos Zinge? link Zinge?

Thanks Dave

Sorry Tortured-Robot that was a bit daft of me to not link it

I dont think they are in his store as such but if you ask him he is usually able to sort you out dam he sounds like a back ally dealer , well in a way he is I need another hit ……..

zinges stuff is amazing... i have some of his vents and ventilators and also some guns...and some of his cool looking tesla coils...maybe if the underslung vickers attempt goes awful i will make a tesla gun...

as for the lewis gun... how could i forget her... i think this will be my next weapon attempt...!!! thanks for the reminder!

i have to sort out some items of zinge soon... his stuff gets better`n`better!



anyways... later on i will spoil you with some eyecandy on the walker AND the new Rivetto MK II... i am a bit uneasy of this version... as it is looking quite different... stay tuned...updates will follow shortly...

Aye, I got a few vent and (one of my favorite weapons) a mauser C96 pistol for my death korps commissar.

Riveto looks great! And so does the walker! When can we expect the Mk II Riveto?

Also, I have been working on those steampunk rifles we had talked about!


They're not done, but there is progress!

Wow! Those are amazing! I can totally see Vik's guardsmen toting those around

They are TRULY amazing!!

Good work so far RS
can't decide if a scope on the rifle variant would look better or worse...

Thanks guys! There's still some work to be done, I want to run a tube down the rifle barrels and maybe one up to where the scope will go for the sniper rifle...you know, random piping for the steampunk look. And some more random cogs and such. And some bands to hold the barrel onto the stock. Still some more sanding and GSing to do.

And Shrike - I'll have the scope cast separately when I get to that point, so we'll see then if it looks better with or without the scope.

Or.....I could make a smaller scope for the standard rifles! Hmmm.

at jake...

these guns look indeed totally fabulous... i really like them and would love to use those on my chaps... the scope in particular looks mighty fine!

there seems to be a major amount of sculting involved in the production of these...for now i only used PC to make my own guns...well i knew the way to finer detail was always GS work...but i am such a shy GS user...

at shrike... i too have that mauser ...have you seen that zinge made a new broomhandle? fit to be wielded by orks? i guess it will be in the shop shortly...

at rawson... yep these would fit very well the guardsmen... and it is indeed a blessing that i am such a slow painter^^ as i am thinking about a major overhaul of my footsloggers... so gunswap and a major headswap...pithhelmets or the pistoliers you used as well...or maybe even something enterily else...i would love to come up witha conversion i could handle on my own...

as for your second question jake...:

taaadaaaaAAAAAAA!!!

here comes Rivetto MKII... he is a new concept... and although he looks cute...i might have gone a bit overboard with cuteness on this one... it is of course the round head...

what the pics doesn´t show is the fast progress i made in the late evening... i created a nice boiler/oven with stack for him... that i will show you tomorrow as i think it justifies a daytime pic as well...

so here is Rivetto the second...







he uses this time a more projectile weapon...as to be seen with the mag...
also i tried to use ball-like joints this time instead of the disc shaped joints of the first one.... if that will be the new fashion remains to be seen...
there is still much to be done...as it atm has no rivets (*gasps*) and also i think the knees and elbows need more work...same goes for the ugly feet... there i need to commit a miracle...but at least it is already based... which is quite a feat (hurhurhur...)

so...comments?

argh... so lovely ideas there... i am totally eager to see how you will be working fuurther on these... have you considered making a flamer? or the greanadelauncher... i think the new rivetto wields some kind of mix between a shotgun and a thudgun...

Awesome! Kind of reminds me of a gum ball machine! I like the round joints. The gun looks very robot-y too! Nice!

And as for the GS part of my guns, I just used it on the stocks because I am more comfortable with GS than with Plastic Card. I used GS for the gears too, they can also be done with thin PC.

Cheers Vic! Looking forward to the pics of Mk II with the boiler!

I'm loving the head of Rivetto mk II, but I feel it as a whole is missing something... maybe the hands and feet need redoing... maybe the hands have have fingers or something? I don't know...

Another amazing automaton

Like it so far, especially the 'cap'

I think the feet just need the horizontal parts filling to look like a solid lump at the bottom. Looking forward to what the boiler adds.

Man! That's cool Vik!!!!

thank you all good sirs!

at shrike.. ups... forgott to emntion that he has already fiungers... i bought a L-shaped rod at the artshop at the weekend just for this specific use... so i wouldn´t dream about making a hand fingerless...*shudders* will be revealed tomorrw too...

at jake..lol gumball machine... more like gunball machine^^
yeah the smaller gears are way better to be done with GS work... i tried to do them in plasticcard but it always look dumb... so i tried to avoind them for now... maybe i use a stamoing idea i have...

at monkey... very good idea about the horizontal slots on the feet... i think that will be done tomorrow as my first deed...

at dave... thanks mate!


by the way... i also want to anounce that i am atm also working on a heavy robot... he will be wielding as LDD sugested a lewis gun...the drommag atm gievs me some hardships but i think i can do it... he will be a tad bigger than the first two... also i try to make the pistonlook on him far more detailed...

thanks for the nice and helpful comments!!!

Heavy viktorian robots with lots of pistons hey? Sounds good to me

my thoughts exactly^^

Heavy robot you say...



Basically, I was thinking maybe slightly taller, a bit bulkier, big shoulders and arms.

the first one is close... but still not how i do these... but all will be revealed... the second one is pretty much a walker already...

To all intents and purposes, the last one is, but scaled down I was thinking it might look cool...
and the helmets I didn't think they'd fit with your more personalised rivetto's ones, but I was thinking the torso and arms more than anything...

i´ll see what i can salvage form these pics... actually they are already in my gallery on my pc for quite some time... there is quite a big gallery of my researches already there...and it gets weekly updates as well... after all you have to keep well informed about other works^^

^^ good idea that...

one more thing before I go to bed, the dreadknight's arms/shoulder doesn't look too bad...

for a later use i think i should look for a bit seller of these... that is totally right!!!

and well i am soon off for bedtime too...have a good night!

Ach! Kaiser Bots!

Funky little dude Vik , like your new sig too , somebodies has been raiding the plasticard shop , nice one matey.

yep most definatly^^ ...plastic crad has grown on me immensly in the last days... it is a very nice material...


so.. suns up and i promised some more updated wip pics of the second rivetto...










that structure on top of the boiler made me thinking.... maybe one of my next bots should be a wound up one? like...a close combat one...all "wound up"...get it?^^

some little finishing touches now and he is ready to be painted...


the heavy is getting on fine... will present to you later on his likeness...i am quite pleased with him...

and the walker is getting on fine too... pics of these willl happen later...

cheers, vik

hehe, now that you mention it... i have all those warzone minis in the cupboard... they look like WWI germans... they could benefit quite well from that image...

i can see you fielding a complete army of rivetto's Vik. might be nice as a count as space marine army
