I was very impressed by the finish on the model. Everything had been block sanded level. All the parts fit snug but not too tight. Detail lines that cross between parts match up flawlessly.

I cant wait to build it. Its sitting on a towel drying as I type this. Hopefully get it assembled later today.

Sounds like it is worth the long wait.

so are there any pics stuck in the warp that want/need to come out yet?

*shameless unimaginative bump right there^^*

Will be adding a couple of more sabres to my collection in a month or two. His resin pieces are top notch. The surfaces take paint readily, and the lack of ANY excess resin crap on them also says a lot about his pride in his work.

In the meantime, I've received a Gladius, Glaive, Halberd and Outrider (all with grav hulls) from a fellow on WAU - I was going to order them from Jez, but with the delays and all, it was just as easy to get them this way - easier, actually.

Ah, still waiting for those tanks to arrive, but I am basically in need of 'ardcoating the one tank and it is all done.

Very much so. It went together very easy. Took maybe 20 minutes after it was washed and dried. The only trimming needed was one very small bit of resin in a corner. Parts fit well and take glue very well. I used Gorilla Super Glue.

It comes with some optional parts...large caliber cannon or twin laser looking things for the main gun(s), choice of 2 missile launchers or single ML with sensor pod for turret sides, and crew or closed hatch. I went with the big gun, ML & sensor combo, and closed hatch.

It was primed after assembly, now just need the actual paint job. Im thinking a desert sand/light tan-ish color. Ive got a sheet of Tau decals I think will look excellent on it. Will seal the deal on the futuristic/non Earth look. Ill post pics when its done.

Love to see them when done.

^ what he said.

Soon, the Old Crow models will start to arrive, and then,,,MORE pictures!

I am thinking I can make something like this with plasticard, tracks will be tedious though

i´d do the tracks with regular cardboard...need a template? got one that needs but putting to right size... it´s now too small for 28mm

I have enough plastic to make the tracks as well.^^

probably yes, but when you do them in cardboard it doesn´t get too messy with all the cutwork...just makes it a bit simpler...but well if you invest in more time it will probably look way better all done in plastic...

I hope so. Meanwhile my first box from Old Crow is still apparently sifting through customs.

well all good things comes to he who waits...^^ small comfort...i know^^

by the way do you need patterns for scratchbuildinng a mark V? i have some...

Those would be cool to have for helping make the tank from scratch Vik, if you could send me a copy-scan? Pwease!?

The Old Crow is here! Just came sneaking in on a saturday afternoon! The 1st wave:

The Dragoons are a bit bigger than I first thought so Salamander like beasts they shall be!

Each vehicle has it's wheels, turrets, weapon options and some have metal cast crew! Well worth the wait!

enjoy!

Sure, I got them from http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/ None are painted as yet that I have seen.

They have a lot of other models, and they have other mobility options, I chose tracked, they also have grav hover, and wheeled variants.,

now i remeber... sweet models...and the tracked ones do seem to look way better than hoovering...dont think that would suit your armystyle...my favorite is still the go for chimera looking halftrcked dragoon...this is so sweet looking.... how is the scale of the shiped minis to the gw ones? are they usable?

I would have to really "ramshackle the hell out of those beauties to make them "Orkified"

ouch me bleeding heart... stop that torment at once^^

I have to take pics of the Ork Trukk I made from scrap bits and sprues.

yes please^^

Hmm... I just picked up a Claymore... If I had seen your pics before I might have gone for the Lancer instead... Oh well.. I can always get one of them later

Vik, I have to dig it out.

Flinty, That was why I got both, they are interesting to say the least. The Lancer I have found needs a plastic sheet to be added as a belly plate as the kit has the lower front and rear armored slopes.. Never. Makes it lighter, and I do not mind the work as it will be a flat plate with a smaller plate to be the "escape hatch"

Orky Teknulogy at it's finest!

duh^^

looks cool, but needs a new paintjob^^ compared to your tanks it looks a bit like an unloved fosterchild^^
the construction looks very nice and i like how you made tanktreadwheels for the front^^ that is a nice idea and blends in well with the halftrack from behind.
just realized that you have flamnerparts inside your engine^^ nice touch gives the model an air of A-Team feel^^ i just can imagin BA welding that beast together^^

LOL Vik! Of course it would look that way, Orks IMHO do not make neat paint jobs, and would simply slap on a lick of red to make it go faster! all my trucks are like this. I will have to one day make a thread devoted to the WAAAGH! Magnotz and his ladz!

The front tires are actually two 25mm bases glude together, add the Marine Rhino hatches, and then the spare treads and I got armored wheels! The trukk is mostly scrap parts, sheet plastic and sprues given a new life! I had chopped up Tau Ion cannons to make a longer mega Ion cannon for Apocalypose use 96" reach! and used the spare bits for the engine.

Yeah, BA was an Ork Mekboy at heart!

lol BA Mekboy^^
just realized that too that you used the hatches for the wheels^^ nice idea to use bases too... and i can only encourage you to make a new thread about orkses^^ but better stay on top of your recent threads^^ i know where to many threads to work with may lead to^^
