aye

Aye, I take about 10 coffee stirers every time I go into a subway or macdonald's... haven't found a use for 99% of them, but you never know ^^

That Mech Arm is awesome! I think you did a great job on the pistons!

The track also looks great! I assume there will be two, side by side?

Can't wait to see more!

there are in fact already two...just like a mini tank^^ or a demolition tank...i forgot the name^^

thanks...i tried to make the connection parts on the limbs...but id looked weird so i completly rethought the setup...and this was what it turned out to be...

at shrike...now you have a use^^ make a scratchbuilt tank^^ with rivets on this might be a good entrance card to the league^^

LegoHammer Rules!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd rather finish my raven guard, should be finished around may-time if I want 1500 points excluding apocalypse units, early april if I want 1000.
In either case, when I finish them I will be moving onto imperial guard, at which point I will see about making a few custom models

Nice steampunk landraider vik!

Haha, steampunk LR, nice.

well i bet putting a kit together would have been faster and easier ...that took me at least two hours to figure out... no glue involved^^

at shrike...yeah...only make scatchbuilds for the IG´s... makes more sense...

HA! You kill me vik!

lol

you know the tray's of the Burger King.
they transport your fast food very easily.
they transport your army easily from table to table
they fit perfect in a messenger bag.
I only wear messenger bags because of my busted shoulder.....

hint hint hint

lol.... now don´t tell me you actually do what you just implied here^^ lol...

The improved version of the servo arm kicks ass!

Dam those tracks are amazing,I might have to borrow those for an idea for some grots, like the thievery going on here …… will get them back for their over priced coffee, steal everything on the table I say ….. I have a bout 30 sugar pots at home and the sugar that was in them

I agree the tracks look amazing and what you used , how you came up with that is beyond me.

The Medic is looking tops and your PC work has just jumped to a new level, that punch has been very busy boy the look of those round pieces, but I have to say my favourite bit is the cog it just works on all levels, is it for decoration or a working part or both cant wait to se more of this guy.

When you said he is as large as the heavy that was a good call, after all as a medic hefty lifting would be involved so he would need to be bigger than the rest of the bot's .

now thats the kinda land raider i want!

Crap I forget to give feedback on that , it looks great now create it in PC and I would be even more impressed

available kit for 50€s^^ at vik enterpirses^^

at baiyuan...thank you sir... and by the way...the idea for the trackmounted medic i git from your libirian...the one we still need to see some new pics of^^

at LDD...

well the credit for the trackmacking idea goes to the pre league days here at dakka... when the first tank was in the making...shaso and some other guys, but mainly him suggested the use of cofey stirers as a means to make cheap tracks... mind you they are atm pretty basic...still some more work to do on them...

you said he is as large as the heavy that was a good call, after all as a medic hefty lifting would be involved so he would need to be bigger than the rest of the bot's .

my thoughts exactly... he will get a set of arms like any other rivetto has too...

the cog is for ornamental purpose... there was recently talk about a means to have a tie-in item... this cog will work as a regimental crest sort of... imagine it being later painted in blue red and white... as a sort of royal airforce banner...just with cogs, rivtes and nuts^^

have a bout 30 sugar pots at home and the sugar that was in them

lol... i hope no one can press charges on me for your reactions^^

actually i have a half built version of a real LR in the maing...onn the to do shelf for almost a year now.... done with the `orrible PC i first bought back in my starting days... it doesn´t take plastic glue... so i put it aside...

when my rivetto fever has burnt down then i will make a new PC tank...that at least is for sure...

Like the cog idea and the colour scheme will tie it altogether nicely, idea borrowed an idea shared it's all good ……

Just deny any acquaintance and you will be fine.

Returning too the tank is a must sill you should base one around that one as well

i think i use a big cog even as a standard... now this is a good thought...^^

Cool but you will need some smaller ones all the way down the pipe work, I gather the pole will be pipe

Vik can we maybe get a comparison shot of the land raider? just so we can get an idea about the size. It looks awesome but where and how are you going to make the sponsors?

Whoah, vik- just realised you've passed your 10,000th post! Congrats, mate ^^

Vik, This is what you've been longing for!

Except add more rivets!

Although the cameraderie and banter is fore everyone, sort of

^that! capn!^^

at dave... er...sorry chap, the pic ain´t showing...

BUT!....

i now have a cutting edge...guess what that means...:



the first cut is the deepest^^


and did some measurements as orientations...i have yet to figure out how to use the chop-it the best way...


but boy there were literally a hundered blades too...many thanks buddy! feel a bro-hug over the great pond!


and here is what i am currently working on...mind not the knees...the glue currently gives me some odd feelings...it doensßt work on the coffey stirers as needed... the balls came off...(hurhurhur) and i did some entirely new knees...



the medic/mech will get a set of arms too and then i have to figure a way to make a head...a fitting medic head for it... any ideas?

cheers, vik

oh and thanks shrike...i realized that after i looked at the post count of 10022 ^^ i missed the special moment too... it just went by me^^

at fatty... i see tomorrow what i can do...i guess it is at the same size of a real kit... but it already has sponsons...they might just not look the way you had them expected to be...^^

Looks good so far Vik, and it looks like you're cutting rivets is easier as well now

As for the Robot losing his balls does that mean he is a Gender Bender ……. Sorry crap joke I know but I had to

As for the head some kind of bionic optical enhancer, may sound cheesy but head light/lamp cant think of much else at the moment but will keep trying

Do it like Canti from FLCL
