I have a 2nd barrel with holding bracket strips on it, I just have to make a different holder for it for the rear just under the other one
I am planning on stowage boxes, and also ordered hatches/vents and fans from Zinge, I think I still have a toolbox laying about the4 place somewhere. (starts rummaging in huge bin)

Soon! the Zinge Industries supplies will be shipped and then, the madness will grow!
Oh, and I have to update soon, pulled a trick off the old Tadpole concept to help with the extra drum and tool stowage

Woot! Zinge stuff and stowage! I get my stuff from him exactly 2 weeks after I order it every time.

Meanwhile, until the Zinge stuff arrives, some minor improvements.

Working on the Exhausts a bit.

the back reworked, plate as well as support, and the 2nd barrel, due to mud/water splash, boxes and rods low, sacks would be higher up

Under support beams (Rivets pending)
[/img]

plenty of stowage under the barrels(support rods for camo nets), boxes and sacks of supplies
[/img]

Double barreled fuel support, external drums for quick release hoses will be attached as they will be first used before the internal fuel bins
[/img]

[/img]

Plenty enough room for other supplies that cannot be put inside the machine.

Aquilas!

That is very cool.

Glad you like it Spudkins, I have plenty more nestled amongst the pages here.

There seems to be a distinct lack of rivets on the front part below the driver's view hatch Shas

It is still a work in progress Dave, rivets aplenty will this beast have!

hehe, I know Shas -It is my duty.

Okay, could not wait forever. I will fit those massive hatched in on the sponsons as soon as they arrive,, but this gives an idea as to how close to the concept I have achieved in the execution of the design. The tall, and far sticking sponsons are so the soldiers transported are in the way of the side gunners, this allows the squad to arrive in comfort relatively speaking.

Guns can cover the forward arcs as well as the "bow" gunner and Turret #1
[/img]

Ball mounted MG and space for the Zinge Industry armored doors.
[/img]

Vents and fans on the back plate, gonna have to cut/glue the hing for the one door I am thinking.
[/img]

From above, simple in shape, complex in executing.

Not only am I awaiting the drop fromn Zinge I ordered, I also, for Nostalgia sake ordered from HobbyLinkJapan 2 Klingon Battle cruisers,
But :

squared vents: Duct Nozzle II

and 4 of these:



But the gatling guns will be adapted for a new war tank

I found a size comparison for an idea as to how big it will be


BIG! the ultimate walker machine for Khadrovian battle-walkers, I will dub mine the KV-200

That's a big walker Shas! And the big, luxury Sponsons look great too!

Mega-Walker KV-200 is in FED EX hands. Luxury sponsons! Awesome nickname for them!

seems you will be in for a hell of a suply drop soon... where is the sudden warm rain of cash from? not that i am complaining in the faintest here after all serious eyecandy heading our way

your tank has nicley developed since i had last time for dakka... really... work, family and school... dreaded homeworks and even such things as laudry... how do all the other folks cope with so much to do...??? argh...


as for your suplies... what are those gatling robots for? will they be just for decorations or will you use them for your army? that big walker is a nice momma... tho i fear with these big guns he will topple once he fires a shot....

1) A disbursement arrived, and along with bills, supplies, and equipment, I decided to also get some morale boosters!

2) Well, a slight slowdown as the intestinal bug has hit me, very nasty symptoms.

3) The bots are just showing how the gattlers can be set up is all, they are wind up motor tech and in a well made turret, welll............
As for the KV-200 walker, well, there are ways it stabilizes to fire those big beasties. The arm weapons are actually long range missile launchers

So, stuff from Zinge is likely either in royal mail, or at US customs waiting the "all clear" and holiday silliness, the stuff from japan is in transit to arrive by monday.

I need to add more rivets to the sponsons!

I need to add more rivets to the sponsons!

who could argue with that

and well... get better soon.... bugs have no place in anyones tummy!

Slowly getting back to normal. Whew! what a Nurgle-gift that was!

er...please don´t draw us a picture of that one

and... welcome back to the land of the coughing

Yes, Papa Nurgle has been giving wayy too many gifts around here lately. I formally blame RW and others with their nurgly posts lately
The desire to rivet is a sure sign of improving health, physically and mentally!

amen! and the rest was silence... punctuated by riveting noises!!!

So, today will be a rivet day, my package from J-land is now in Huntington WV, on it's way to me. , 1.5kilos of fun!

wow that sounds like a huge package!

well...rivet your day

Fed-Ex rushed it out! I got it 11/23/12 at 3pm!

So, here is what will be related to Warhammer40k in that drop! Vent grills.

[/img]


Gatling cannons fit for a large machine of a tank, it has a wind up motor for rotary action!

And the KV-200, chassis shown for size reference. Nearly as big as a Leman chassis! one big mama of a walker machine!

with sentinel and kolossus

The monster will need a horde of rivets, I havce a base i can use in a Hoard 'O Bitz shipment, and while aI wait for the Zinge bitz, I can start the Monster/KV-200

Sprues of joy!!

actually i am now very envious mister.... that gatling sprue looks mighty tasty... i want to see that built asap... maybe i can squeeze a lil early christmas present for me ...by me^^...

the walker chassis...well i take back my earlier statements... if it is that big... then it will be capable to fire quite a package...i dunno if for that model you should change your riveting methods tho... such a surface might justify holepunched rivets if i am asked...

oh and seeing them now in the flesh... the vents look very good too.... how do they relate to the zinge stuff in prices?

First gatling is done and it spins! I am going to make a turret housing for 2 of them as twinlinked vulcan mega bolters, I am working on pics of that and the now built and finished monster/KV-200, sadly, so much surface, not enough rod stock for this in the same size, I may just do revers flushed rivets by doing a slight drill mark style.

The vents are cheap, 2bucks translated from yen(160yen) very small to a good size, I will have picks of the 4 I glued to the landship-transport(I may get some on the KV-200, I plan on using some other bitz as well to spiff it up

whoa... that walker is the definition of massive... i think with your camo scheme this will look totaly super... those asien walkers sure will fit in nice to the scheme and then your army...

and the vents apear a bit smallish on the tank but i guess that might be deceiving...when painted this effect will blen in just nicley...

and the gatlings are enourmous... seeing them... i think you are due to make your own titan now one of these days.... they would fit the bill completly...

Yeah, gonna add some of those vents to the mighty KV-200 Walker, and then I used the smaller vents at that. KV-200 is smaller than a warhound, so more likely a Knight sized machine, like an egg on legs armed with sledgehammers

Yeah, once the Zinge stuff arrives, and Hoard o' bitz, I will finish the transport tank, and start on a tank fit for thos gatling cannons
The turret will be a big one, and needs spots I can put the twist caps through so I can make them spin while on the tabletop battlefield.

yeah moveable turrets are always way cooler than stationary ones!
