Speaking of Punisher, LDD's new avatar of Lego Punisher is pretty sweet.

Great start on your tank! Any chance of a scale pic?

Originally I had some CC that would have sounded like this: "I would refrain from blending anti infantry and anti tank weaponry. Units can only target one enemy unit per turn. That is, of course, unless it will be a super heavy" Not sure how I thought the über transport would have ever fit in as a non super heavy vehicle

Because it's an Uber-heavy!

will try to make a somewhat scaleshot... will be difficult tho... maybe with a dread and a soldier... this should be helpful?

and indeed... super heavy... or rather a self relying tank... with air support on it´s own... one for everything... it only needs some scubba divers then it has everything

Well, still needs a mole tunneling device at the front

d´oh... don´t tell everyone of my secred plans before hand dude...

Vik vik vik... you have NO idea how much I want to buy a crap ton of plasticard, go through you dave and klaus threads again and do some real riveting! RW CLASS HEAVY TANK BABY

You forgot my thread as well RW, I feel unappreciated now..... :(

Thats because I'm looking at it right now!

Now I feels bettah!

It should have a carrier pigeon launch too

Vik you should rename this the Tank Envy thread...

My oh my... large tanks that carry flyers? Vik, why must you make us all look so impotent?

I love the idea of an Übertransport, however, I have just one idea. You say that you want to divert the smoke from the smoke stacks away from the landing pad, as it may make life difficult for the flyer. I ask you, why?

This is the 41st Millenium, man! The Viktorians have fought and warred across star systems, fighting to the bitter end, so much so that their armies no longer marched through towns in victory, as neither the nouns 'armies' or 'towns' remained relevant in the wake of the destruction wreaked by your Riveteers!
These are soldiers of Viktor and the Emperor! they have campaigned on worlds beyond the imagining of man, fought the most dangerous aliens and heretics the galaxy has had to throw at them, and plodded through it all without so much as a frown.

If they can survive all that, then I doubt their pilots will worry about a bit of smoke

Just my ten penneth on the matter. I'll get off the box now

I think im too late for you on this one vik, but this place has some awesome stuff for tank conversions (including treads : http://www.ebay.com/sch/machinator248/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

like where this project is headed though! and Klaus, you need to finish that super construct up! it looks awesome!

Don't know why, but when I hear about large tank-like vehicle carrying flyer the Dune spice harvesters come to mind at the first place...

argh.... so many cool things... i am atm saving that seller to my favorite list... so much cool bitz there... his opressor treads look very good to me...tho... i today got my 1/16 tracks and will do a suply drop update tonight... so stay tuned... but many thanks for that future drain on my purse

actually...why has that yet escaped me? dunno... it sounds like an obvious connection... *again pic researching *


on a related note... got the tracks... will update later on with progress pics and suply drop...

cheerio!!!

Not often my penneth are taken at all! I look towards your Übertransport with interest. Makes me want to get riveting!
On that note, you fellows have no doubt heard this before, but how do you make good rivets? I don't have a working leather puncher (my Dad has clogged his with leather pieces), the hole puncher I have cuts them a bit big, and otherwise I'll have to you square ones cut with clippers!
What do you fellows do?

LooT

Vik, I am so happy to see such a huge project on your table. I am hoping this goes very well for you.



I am hoping, as well, that the read through of the last several dozen pages I have missed goes well for me...



LOL.....

I was thinking more like the Mobile Airfields in Dystopian Wars. The Prussian one is shaped like an enormour Iron Cross.

Effectively, Vik is making a Leviathan class machine.

Still no progress pics???

leviathan... now that is something that brings the certain mystical air to that project

and anvil


are we talking about this one?



a tad bigger´n my project... just a tad

(beside... i tend to stay away from german paraphernalia as it might give the wrong impression )


hey max... good to see you alive and actually for once online too!!! that is an honor!!! and yeah... probably will give you grievious body harm to read through everything

and

LooT...

riveting... well you can get yourself a new leather punch and strengthen your economy ... or do it like shaso does... and make PVA droplet rivets... or like dave always does... and cut up really small styrene rods to make rivets... like a slice of salami sanding and afterwards everything looks nicely riveted... there are even some that go totally ´ardcore and use actual pins to make rivets... drilling holes into the surfaces and then with added superglue place the pins... or on some webstores there are actually "decal" rivet- stripes to buy... totally your choice...oh... almost forgott the rolles GS suasage and then cut up to rivet methode... so many ways.... so many bloddy ways to rivet zen


well... back to my current projects... you gotta have at least three tho i keep one still a secret ...


track suply drop today:

(together with one side of the trackguards inner side...for referrence and to show how much of the length atm i don´t have a use for...and this is just one track!!!)







they are truly wide... in a good way... this will be a very cool tank... very cool indeed! by the way... if i make the treads stick out a bit above and around the trackguards... how much would be viable?


and...

second project for the fourth competition... as i am helping out with the panel of judges ... this object will be of some sort of keeping in with the spirit of the comp... oh and it is about making shrubberries^^ or rather any form of plant life that either decorates a base or is an imprtant factor of a terrain piece...

you can follow or even join the comp here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/487271.page


well and this will be the starting base from which i will build my "shrubbery"...








it is from a pet shop... aquarioum decoration... probably resin stuff... plan is to add some vines and make it look way better that the current paining

well... so much for now...


cheers, vik

actually your impatience ninjaed my update

The shrubbery base is awesome! I did not think of the aquarium stuff if it's that cheap I might be tempted to do some ruined temple myself...

Haha those tracks are truly wide! If they are too wide it seems like you could even cut one tread off the side... instead of a 'triple wide' would be a 'double wide'. But if you build the tank around it and built a bigger skirt around the sides probably be worth it... just my 2 cents

the tracks will be kept as is... i can cut them down to length tho...

and well... depends on your definition of cheap... the lil something costed 6.19 €´s so... dunno how much that would be in the US... but yeah... aquarium scenic deco can make awesome stuff for terrain... i dunno why but many pieces are actually quite in scale with 40k... it is a real puzzler why this is the case... a secret conspiration against GW maybe??? who knows... but i guess the government will hush it up...

...You are a brave man Vik... if in a few weeks you die mysteriously in a 'car accident' or 'heart attack' we will remember you for your courage...

And you can rest assured I will troll local pet shops to see when their scenery goes on clearance.

i am a brave man...after all...i am married...´nuff said

Sweet, where did you get those tracks from exactly?!

well it is a german based hobby suply retailer...

but the product you get almost everywhere on the world...
