Oy, I haven't checked this blog for ages
Your Übertransport is definetely going to look grand and impressive vik.... the amount of rivets you'll put on it... can't wait to see!

ha... wait till you get your ...er...can´t remember when promised price for that cookie competition.... well... it is almost finsihed...and i mean almost!!! gimme till the end of the week!

Vik under pressure! Rivet away your cares!

prize should have been a pile or rivets. would be better then what is going down.

ah...pile of rivets wouldn´t be that good a treat i guess...

So I'll receive the prize be the beginning of next week I guess? Looking forward to that!

if the chalrie brown is really charlie sheen, and painted gold. Do it.

that model is only available in kokain white iirc...

Or it can be made in the rare alternate color of Booze gold-brown

to be later in yellowish golden pee color? hmmm.... i doubt if this will be a huge seller...

Likely

It'd be red for the tiger blood. It took that long to find a break in the banter to just sneak back in.

well....ladies and gentlemen...

i am still interested in this hobby...if you would have thought otherwise due to my current lack of presence here....

work, family, and the new christmas feeling... that great devourer of available time for hobby use... kept me atm from being here...

also the big shame of not being able to contribute anything new...


well about to amend for that at least...

see...i come back with an update!

promised even scaleshopts a while ago...look at the end of that update...

so... here is a mock up of the tracksystem how it should look in the end with the treads attached... only mockup still...

also the angular sponsons have been pried off as they gave me the creeps... instead i got me a coupla plastic chrsitmas tree balls and cut them in half ... to be replaced as new halfsperic sponsons... i hope this will help to bring along the more archaic look of steampunk...also they will rpovide lots of more coverage for the guns...


and


then the scale shots... a sort of family shot of all my already finished tanks... together with my IG conversions...


well... that´s that for now... cheerio...and good day to you all...!


vik

Immensely cool, somehow your bauble-tank immediately made me think Dalek

lol...talk about a happy accident^^

That's just Massive Vik! The landing pad looks great on those big-ass treads too!

That'sgoing to be a grand tank, Vik! Where did you get the threads again?

LOVE the new sponsons vik! what guns are going in them?

Looking good Vik! I was thinking a more 90-100mm wide chassis? or is it the massive treads throwing me off kilter?

Bah... not that big after all... XD

actually after making those pics... well i think it needs to get made thicker still... atm it looks as if it would warp if an actual flyer would land there... no viable structural integrity atm... but i will fix that for sure

that was the seller i got the tracks from... but i bought them not via ebay... instead i phoned the guy of the shop... got the tracks this way even a bit cheaper

when asked this question the instant answer is always... gatlings ... tho it remains t be seen if i am able to get the barrels look right... somehow the really fitting look i was never really able to get right...yet...

well the landing pad is 16cm in diameter...the lenght of the tank all in all atm is 25 cm... width is a bit more than 20 cm... which is a bit of a problem as it is nearing the tanks dimensions to look almost like a square...maybe stacks and such things like trench rails will fix that outline issue...

storag wrote:Bah... not that big after all... XD

yup... and again you are right

Vik, in the far future metallurgy should be better, and thus you can cheat structural integrity over the rule of cool. unless it would add more cool.

Big Rivets will hold!

adding more cool is always the plan

the unquestioned truth mister...forever!

Cannot forget the rivets

That is a hell of a beast are the ping pongs the sponsons then ? I hope so as I liked the idea the tracks look good so far as well.

Wow, nice!

love the landing pad especially, good attention to detail as always

exactly... the "pingpongballs" aka christmastree balls will support the "guns" later on...
