Nice looking figure so far.

And great work continuing with the cathedral - the wire hiding girders are a nice touch

Ooh....shiny!

Nice job, like it a lot. The subtle verdigris on the gun is great.

And actually.....that red and white check is nice on the floor. Maybe you should re-do the cathedral?

Well in that case you know what colour scheme to use when you start on the mechanicus hall.

There will come a point at some point in the future (before the sun swallows us all) when you do complete the Cathedral. There will

And then you're going to want something else to fill that void.......

Yes, it's called the Chapter House & Cloisters board. The Manufactorum board will have to wait until after that. I suspect I may be retired by that point, and I'm only 37. Well, 38. Tomorrow. Woo....

I'm back...

Quick update as I haven't on here in ages - couple of wip's of the 'pulpit':



One of the things I have most learnt on the never ending project: glue as few things together as possible BEFORE painting them, as doing the floor tiles on this is an absolute pain in the derrière... Also, the limited (thankfully!) number of tiles means that doing anything even remotely stylised (such as an Inquisition symbol) is next to impossible...

Oh and look, very nearly at the magical 40K views!

Ok then. For anyone who hasn't been following my Facebook posts, here's a brief summary of what I've been working on recently. Basically I've started work on the crater section of the main body of the Cathedral - I could have just plonked one of the GW craters directly on the board but that would have looked rubbish, so instead first mapped out where it would sit:


Then cut away the offending tiles from the movement trays so that the crater would sit directly in the base board:


I'll then use some of the removed tiles to go back over the edge of the crater so that they look 'pushed up' - obviously they need a bit of work to crunch the edges


Meanwhile, while board at work and between jobs I've been creating a scale(ish) diagram of the Cathedral floor to map out the colour scheme:


And how its started to translate to the actual build:


And yesterday, due to goading/promoting/suggestions from my FB groupies (do let me know if any of you are here too!) made my first trial attempts at marble, with reasonable (depending on the light) success...


The marble does, sadly, look better in the picture than in real life, so I need to make some refinements to the process, but it will hopefully look quite nice on the remaining 160 odd tiles I need to do of it....

Wow you really keep creating more work for yourself looking great mate and the marble looks pretty impressive I like the map out of the flooring good call that must help with the painting scheme.

Does this mean you will be going back over all the white tiles you have done already then

Thankfully the white tiles to date have been simple base coats (ok, with some fiddly re-groating between them) so they are just ready and waiting...

I really love your marbling technique. It's good to see you making progress on this mammoth build, phutarf. One commentary I would make is that the tiles around the crater would actually be thrown in all directions by the power of the bomb blast. Unless what you're implying is that the crater is actually the mouth of an underground tunnel (like a drilling machine came up from below), those tiles would actually end up in the farthest corners of that ruin.

Never seen this thread before, but you're doing some fantastic work. Love the marble effect in your test tiles.
