Very nice. I look forward to seeing the final product.

I started adding some of the miscelaneous CoD pieces and just kept going. Kudos to anyone who can figure what I used for the lower window ledges.

They look like cut up strips of windscreen wipe blades to me mate.

First post but was so amazed with this I thought I would create an account and reply. Kudos bud fantastic work

They're actually the edge pieces from the movement trays for WFB, good guess though. Wish I could be posting updates, probably be another month before that, sorry.

Brilliant work mate! This is a very inspiring thread, keep up the great work.

I seldom ever care when it comes to scenery but this is awsome.

You may be forcing me to make an update to avoid thread necromancy...

Excellent blog, dude. Keep it coming!

I like your terrian mate. Very neat and pro.
Want to see some paint on them ;P
Peace.

Thanks!
I've been getting a bunch of new idea watching some other blogs. I've relied rather heavily on using parts and kits. I want to move into a more comprehensive scratch building. Watching someone like Blackadder building complete & near identical models to Forge World resin out of nothing but styrene... Too cool. I also went to a model train expo which is always good for inspiration.

Yeah Blacks threads are awesome, then again so is Ds'

can't wait to see more... especially as I'm planning some terrain myself ^_^

Excellent stuff! The extra work on the cathedral is amazing! Don't worry about using bitz in combination with scratching. As amazing as blackadder's stuff is, it also takes him forever to finish anything. Remember, it all gets painted in the end, and then you can't tell what it is made of.

Somehow I missed it, but what are you using for these excellent window bitz?


I see where you said you didn't have enough of them, but I didn't see what they were.

BTW- the skylights and roof equipment is completely full of WIN!

Thanks, it's funny that I just left a comment on your blog that you can get those windows at train stores! In particular these windows were from a train factory kit (along with the sky lights). I think the roof vents came from a pack of misc industrial bits (again from the train section of the hobby store).

Wow thats pretty cool Jabba!

See. my hobby shop has a lot of train stuff, but they don't stock that stuff, it's all special order from the Walther's Catalog there unfortunately. I'm assuming they are HO scale factory/warehouse windows?

Always nice to see some updates buddy. The cathedral still looks great and the factory with the Pegasus hobbies chemical kit looks top notch!

Keep up the great work

Thanks everybody for the compliments, you all have blogs I follow and work I admire.

I would go with S or O scale. Here is a secret resource of mine. Tichy Train Group

Which scale and window is the factory/warehouse multi-pane windows in your tower?

I think those may actually be an HO scale, and they represented windows that were like 10 feet tall or something (big warehouse windows). But they made for intricate large Gothic windows in the 40K world. They are like 1.5 x 3 inch. Here are some shots with GW COD bits to estimate the size.

I want those windows very much! Thanks man!

Very awesome stuff. Can't wait to see more. Hurry up, I just necrothreaded this project back onto its feet!

Hahah thanks demitri, hadn't seen this before. Subscribed!

Can't believe how massive your creations are, fantastic =D

Amazing work! I'm simply staggered. Way too much to absorb at work, will dig back through your photos later. Subbed and will be back for more!
