Thanks guys!
Well, there were still some images missing, so here's the update.
First I created some new magazines for my troopers
and mounted them
Then I got the colors ready
and started spraying
Consulting with my reference images everything red or brown is really dark, while metal and bone is very bright in color
It's really a bummer to photograph, but I think this image shows it best
So the diorama found its new home
and is in good company
So, what's next?
Hmm, I'm really not sure
a) I could obviously continue with the ATHENA, incorporating the lights.
b) I could complete the Can Opener, finishing the paint job
or I have some potential new projects
c) The workshop - a kind of humorous scene
d) Beach Landing - building another PONOS, this time in an amphibious assault
e) Taking a Break - a completely new scenic diorama, involving a pilot (not sure if walker of aircraft) taking a break in front of a real background...
f) Deadly Team - building a group (4 or 5) "Heavy Jaegers" with the experimental armor, as used in the Can Opener
g) Excavation - also a more scenic diorama involving some archaeologists digging up a wreck of an old vehicle, tank, or the like
Most of these new projects are so far only vague ideas, I did some preliminary Internet research and have some foggy thoughts on how to realize them.
So, what do you think?
Cheers
Klaus

Thanks guys,
thank you for your feedback - and ideas, keep them coming. Spaceship boarding party?
Sounds like a good idea
While in between projects (more further down*) I'm in contact with a "3rd party" manufacturer based in UK (small, independend, relatively new), looking into the creation of a multi-piece resin kit for a PONOS and a small version of the HERCULES.
The idea is that both vehicles use the same track section.
While the PONOS could be done pretty identical to its current version, the HERC will be a complete new design.
So here's your chance to influence the project!
A) would you be interested in such a kit?
B) what would be your "threshold" for the price?
C) any improvements you'd like to suggest for the PONOS?
Since there's a lot of resin involved, I will try to shrink the PONOS by about 10% - not much really - and instead of solid blocks it will rather be many pieces and open sections.
For the track sections I will try to have Sponsons build (either only for the tank, or for both vehicles), the tracks itself will be a re-build, without the GW-Skulls and Aquila's but rather new, unique insignia.
The tank will be renamed AKTROS and will shrink down considerably. It will no longer be a heavy, but rather a medium tank. It will still have the sponsons, probably still both hull mounted weapon stations (currently Bolter), and a completely new turret.
So, what do you think?
Please comment and suggest! I look forward to your feedback.
*New project?
Yeah
After the completion of the SSD diorama I was doing some non-hobby stuff for my family. During this I had an idea that would best work with the title "Tomb Raider" - but not in the direction of Necrons - or "Indiana Jones".
The currenty (still very fuzzy idea) involves an old, hidden temple in the jungle, probably at night, or in a cave, a troop of IG soldiers, maybe accompanied by a Terminator or a Dread, lots of Flashlights and a surprise attack by some Nids.
In a nutshell, more OSL, more cinematic effects
Please provide me with feedback, suggestiosn, ideas on the PONOS and AKTROS.
Thanks
Klaus

well klaus... you know we all love your work... to have a tank at home on my shelf done by you... yeah i woould consider a buy later on to be highly possible tho i am way out of touch to say what pricecap you should aim for... i never bought me a kit... so i can´t really say for sure what would be a good and for me then again an inspiring price...
also... i am not that much looking forward to see your cool tanks get shrinked... that is one of the main reasons i like your stuff.... it looks truescale and really like tanks that could be used by those lil soldiers.... smaller tanks... naw... i prefer them big... thank you so very much

Hi guys,
thanks for your feedback.
So it looks as if the PONOS and AKTROS would be worth getting produced.
Still details to be settled, but I'm sure we'll get that squared away and I can start building the new masters for both models.
In the meantime I started with the new project "Tomb Raider".
As mentioned it will be in a dark, hidden, old temple in a jungle, involving some flashlights, muzzle flashes and Tyranids.
For the temple I used the broken cast of a madonna I had at home.
Of course I had to modify it to make it more 40K-ish, but some Inquisition ][, a tear and an eye patch did the trick
I casted a lot of bricks and floor tiles using my Hirst Arts molds and Stewalin.
While setting things up I decided to finally use the dead Spacie from Space Hulk as a central piece of the temple.
I think this will work nicely
And to make it more jungle like, I strated to sculpt some first vines.
I will see how these work out on the temple wall and then decide if I do more.
Since I had a lot of left-over material I also decided to take a quick dive into base building.
So I created a set of 23 temple based bases.
10 Terminator size, 10 trooper size and 3 HW size:
Some closer shots
And here are the first cast results:
On these first cast is still some residue, but I'm quite happy with them
Well, that's all for today.
THank you for your time reading and I hope you enjoyed todays update. I look forward to your replies and feedback.
Cheers
Klaus

Off to a great start! I always wanted to get some hirst art molds, this might just make me do so very soon.
Any ideas who will be producing the PONOS? Anvil industry has some of the best casting abilities I have ever seen so you might want to consider him as well!
