hmm nice little clayguys vik and i love the walker, if i had as many pennies as i had made lego walkers then i'd have enough to buy a house.... after i robbed a bank of course.. because $0.10 isnt enough for a house... btw about the hockey

i used to be good at hockey... then i took an arrow to the kne... no waite... untill i took a stick to the eye

Vanilla ice, Dishonored and steam tanks/walkers in one days ramble....


Man, I gotta stat being around more often......

Vanilla Ice??? Looks like i actually have to read the posts i missed for once

Doh... I understand I've been away for a long time but... how does it happen that Vik gave up to Chaos? =)

He must have gotten his new paints in the mail!

Aye, bethesda announced it nearly a year ago, been following it since then because it looks so amazing

hey shrike...that was an amazing vid...that game needs to investigated further upon! fer sure^^

hey storag... welcome back... and not completley given in to chaos yet^^ as the following pics hopefully testify for^^

and thouse aussies we won´t speak furthermore about...i haven´t got the foggiest idea about what they are...


anyways...:

here are my latest works on the knight...if someone has some clver ideas as to how and in what pattern to add rivets to the chestpiece i am all ears...er...eyes^^










on a realted note...the much apreciated of all rivets on the faceplate rubbed off...so they need to be replaced later on... i think i will use then the drill and rod methode for them...

also as here not seen yet... i have worked on the toes some more...pics will follow tomorrow after i have finished the second foot...


cheers,vik...btw...have been absent because of a cold i catched...yucky^^

get some paint on him vik ;-)

yeah i know...it is about time... sadly i must say the paints of GW hasn´t reached me yet... seems they need more than a week to get to me... which seems a bit much in my view for such a postage...

Fingers crossed or is it Thumbs pressed for you mate.

either way^^ tho we germans prefer the thumbs... tho i bet no good comes out for akward fingerposings^^

That looks fantastic Vik!! You always have to do some rivet replacement therapy just before you prime it. Consider those rivets that fell as "impure"- To be replaced with righteous rivets

As for the rivet pattern on the chest...straight to match the awesome looking arms, except give him a big round riveted chest circle

..And some sort of grille texture on his mouth area too.

except give him a big round riveted chest circle

well actually i have wondered where the crew might enter this beast... and i have thought about maybe adding a hatch there... just in the middle of the chest? would that look good? of course rivets galore there then...

but i´ve meant how the pattern of rivets should look like...look here...made a mockup pic... which side do you prefer?

i´ll see about that... i think that would look very good...and would give it a much more menacing look...

Bottom edge...definately don't want to have it different than the arms. A hatch could look pretty cool too! ..Rivets notwithstanding of course

so the right side of the mockup...okay sir...will do it acordingly...

as for the hatch... i have to see if that is a job for PC or GS...(don´t you just love to use so many abbreviations?)

Riveting, as usual, Vik....

Sorry to not have been around....


Feeling better though and will be back to work tonight.....


Can't wait to see it painted.....

Don't go painting just for the sake of painting. Wait until you've completely finished to your own satisfaction before proceeding to the next stage.

Sweet work here, Vik! I can't remember exactly, but is the boiler in his chest? You could have an Ironman-esque hatch in his chest with some OSL (<--- Challenge Issued )
Or a big =]_,= in rivets on his chest

Second that!

Sorry to hear you were feeling under the weather mate but glad you are back to it, bit of a dramatic change from the last time we saw him but the chest now ties in well with the rest and looks great.

As for the hatch in the chest good idea but how you will fit it in to the style is a mystery to me the face grill will look cool as well needs investigating Rivets style right I think but you will work that out as you go.


I would not paint until complete it's a nightmare to stick stuff when you do that

of course the knight will see completion before anything as close as a primer will hit it!!! and yes, i will try to make it look as good as i can...for my own needs mostly...one has to feel close to the project and thus needs to have a finished project that is acording to ones own standards^^

as for the hatch... the iron man idea sounds cool, yet it is not needed as the boiler is in the back...the two for now red thingies are the smokestacks there and there is a round thingy that will one day (hopefully not to far away) be the boiler...

the hatch i will probably do in GS... today i finished the second toe... i will show you all in the evening/ night CET what is what... for now i am rather satisfied with the sculpting work i did on them... but you´ll see that soon^^

as for the sculpting of the hatch... after the help of LDD with a paintshaper he got me, i am now feeling way more certain in sculpting work and thus i will sculpt the hatch myself^^ GS work it will be...the toes by the way are done by miliput and that was quite a feat!

as for the cold...yeah it will take it´s time...nasty as a summer cold is... but since the kids and my wife are at home, there is nae much of time wasted to be ill so i get better soon by order

i see you soon with an update... maybe even the afore mentioned hatch! so cross your fingers mates!

at max... get better soon mate...we need your quality input!!!

Hatches where the ears go.

By the looks of it, rivets, hinge and a handle and they could work already in a way.

if i did a hatch were the ears would be...then only a grot wold be able to climb in... you misjudge the scale i think... i will later on show the head in comparrision with a mini...

Ah right it's a knight not a titan.

Way too small then.
