Subject: Rollin' All Ones -- Cause this is thriller, thriller night! (6/22/15)
From my understanding, they sold quite a few at the WHW Grand Opening (30+). Since they are cast to order, they are still backed up from that. Forge World Open Day is July 5th, so guessing they will have some then and take more orders. Once those are fulfilled we will see it go up for sale. Guessing late July, which will work out ok anyways as I happen to get 3 pays that month. It'll be a nice birthday present to myself.

Here are a couple pics that hopefully work for scale...
(I like this head more, but I think I remember reading it was an exclusive bit at the show.... )
As far as price, I've heard everywhere from $2000 to $4000. Havent delved into it too far to figure it out though. All I know is that this thing is rather on the large side... I might need to rent a forklift to move it...
@Alf: No pics of Candy yet- Just havent gotten around to it xD So no worries, you havent missed anything. I sorta want to get the whole party done before pics.
PROJECT UPDATE: Weather is being a sod, so rain means no primer yet >< Hopefully it clears up! Till then Im going to be playing with a side project.

Hrm... Well I might just end up being a pioneer in that field... how exciting!
Unusual to think that such a rare and unique model wouldnt garner some in-depth assembly threads, though.... Weird.
@Wehr: As far as facings, the bases do have a big flat chunk on the "front" that I think he said hes going to make labels for. Assuming that the labels arent black as well, that should make the arcs pretty straight forward.
When you guys DO get a game going, I expect some pictures!

Oh I know, I am the one who makes the bases after all I just wanted a cheap dig at Mr. "Wouldn't you assume my model was facing the most advantageous way?" RiTides

Subject: Rollin' All Ones -- Rain, Rain, Go Away!! (6/25/15)
Agh that fish-eye lens is driving me nuts on that first vid xD
Very interesting seeing it out of the box and in pieces... have a feeling its going to be a considerable learning experience... Anyone have any clue what this thing weighs? Has to be damn near 50 pounds of resin...
@Wehr: I had thought I remembered Tides saying you had a hand in em Well at least with these he cant cheat any more, and if he does you can smack him with a bag of the bases
Now, I've only heard the legends of the Metal Thunderhawk..... Difficult to assemble? Millions of parts?
Color me curious, Brian
I actually really like that standard head a lot, better than most titan heads. Glad my gators are in front of that beast, though (although airbrushing will make that so much more feasible than it would have been otherwise)
And re: base arcs, yes I'll be making sweet lasercut base labels for the front of the gator bases, which will double as arcs.

Well, resin, but whatever- Whats important is that its AVAILABLE!! Its just so big! So full of gorgeous details... Even has a balcony at the back, which I got a kick out of for some reason
=======================
*ahem*
Anywho! In the mean time, I have some work to do. Specifically Knights!
The weather cleared and has been actually quite pleasant today. This meant it was off to the rattlecans!!
Stick Knights:
The armor panels get a coat of P3 White primer- Helps to bring out the best color.
While the mechanical bits are kit with my favorite black spray- Rustoleum Camo Black. Bonds to the plastic and is ultra flat to boot!
Also wrapped up a random little mini while the rain was still falling yesterday... A samurai! This also gave me a chance to play with the sizing as per RiTides suggestions.
The following has been spoilered for your convenience.
Spoiler:
Unaltered pic- straight from the camera
Medium-size selected from Dakka Gallery
Resized down to 800x600 pixels. Recommended size in gallery.
And Medium size.
Hmm. Weird. Selecting the different sizes didn't seem to do anything, but the re-sizing of the original DEFINITELY had an effect. At least from what Im seeing, the smaller shots have a sharper finish.
Fascinating, Captain...
Til next time!~

Hope you don't mind Ramos, I abused my mods powers and fixed your image tag in the spoilers (the 3rd and 4th pics you had identical to one another, now they are as you described).
The 3rd pic (800x600) is definitely my favorite, and you should totally just paste in "full-sized" 800x600 pics into the thread from now on, rather than the "medium-sized" the gallery recommends (which reduces the width to 600, thereby taking your photo down to 600 x 450 pixels).
The 4th pic, with "medium" chosen in the gallery, is good too, but I think full-sized 800x600 is clearly the winner . If you want to edit a post to change from "medium" to "full-sized" (going from 600x450 to 800x600 in this case) just delete the "_sm" near the end of the image link. If you click on edit in your post you'll see that that's the only difference between the two links
I love it, as I can actually see your details clearly now . Knight priming looks great too, and I love that you primed some of the detail parts of them white and the underparts black, that's genius!

There's a guy who did a build of the metal thawk on Dakka, if you search for it, you can see EVERYTHING, and the hell he had to go through.
(I still want one.)

ABUUUUUSE OF POWERRRR!!!
Call in yakface- RiTides has gone crazy! First fixing my photo links, then soon he might adjust MY SPELLING!!!
But seriously... It totally autogenerated the same links when I used "recommended" and "Medium"... XD Didnt even think of using the "full-size" option...
I totally agree with you as far as doing the final presentation photos as 800x600 pics in the future. WiPs can suffer lower fidelity pics Thanks for your help!!
Um... Ramos? Why are they all mounted exactly the same way on the bases with the left foot forward? It looks like a Vegas chorus line. Is that the way they're molded or something? It looks like the front guy has his legs side-by-side, but the base is in the same angle as the rest so it makes him look like he's got the same pose. Thoughts?
Anvildude: "Honestly, it's kinda refreshing to see an Ork vehicle that doesn't look like a rainbow threw up on it."
Dont worry, Gits. Its the angle of the photo. We have one stock pose (which tends to have the left leg forward), one centered, one left foot stepping up (the regular knight), and the Lancer is stepping up left.
Once its all said and done theyll be different. Just looks a little funky cause of the quick pic. If you go back to the wip photos, you can get a feel what I did with them.
