hahah hahaha tricked you. You got a good point vik.

If red is concrete hammering.. whats a rainbow..

Oh that is that Germany has had a resurgence under different names of a certain bunch that got them hammered back in the 1940's Now they use different names, play at being Republicans and all that cammouflage.

yup... but they still smell of kacky^^

they can try to pose as righteous guys... but some are still able to smell the brown stench!

and rainbows... well these might get you into trouble here too

True, I have followed this sad turn of events, and they all need to be riveted to a wall and made fun of and tomatoes tossed as they shout "Auslander Raus!"
Of course back in 1984, I had fun going into town and buying model kits in Neu Ulm, had a collection of 1/72 scale tanks as they fir inside our desk drawers more easily, and could play wargames in the barracks.

well they scream that even louder... the opening of the berlin wall let some ugly urchins resurface it seems...

on a totally unrelated note... my son felix will be coming back tomorrow... we all had a rather saddened time when he was away... my oskar was the one that felt the absence of his brother the most... he is used to sleep together in the same room...they talk themselves to sleep and so on... now it is all quiet in that room all of a sudden...

and me...well I am feeling down because of the trip of felix too... but tomorrow all will be back to normal again...

for compensation...(mine^^) I have started a little welcome back present for felix... some of you may still remember the playmobil pirate ship I've build when my wife and kids have been on a trip...about a year or so ago...

well this time I've built something else... didn´t take WIP pics inbetween... but well come and see...they say^^... I've built a gun... just a gun? well my son is quite into star wars the clone wars... and there is one gun he always fantazises to shoot with... the Z6 rotary blaster... or for you not star wars fans out there... I've built a kids sized handheld gatling gun ...

see below :







the first coat of paint was done with cheap wallpaint... I will later on get the thing in the cellar for some spray can painting... you see some gaps where I couldn´t reach with the brush...

ALSO...

this is my workstation I have mentioned...

I have made this with just basic tools... and now I have togiether with some slef made rulers a very trusty means to get me straight cuts without the fear of slipping baldes etc...

I hope the pics are self explaining...if you have questions don´t hesitate to ask me^^:















cheers, vik

Ah, hand crafted toys for his kids! Vik is a spoiler he is!

well^^.... I try my best.... kids are made for being spoiled every once in a while, eh?^^

Great work vik. I'm sure Felix will appreciate he gift, and terrorize the neighborhood. Now he can be a 1:1 scale juve for your necromunda gang. You can all dress up and run around Berlin doing live action tabletop gaming

A few pics are worth long explanations
Thanks for posting this tuto!

Also, this gatling gun is awesome! What is it made of? Foam?

that is the plan... oskar soon is getting two handblasters like a commander does... and I still have a bolter made from wood that I need to finish... then we charge and storm every playground in our neighbourhood ^^ and size them for our own^^

Sounds like a plan Vik!

the gatling is made pure wood... and screws... I bet you could smash someones head in with that hyena^^...

as for the cutting setup... I built this thing with first a wooden plate... then I added a two sided rim...this provides a strong back to where I could put the to be cut material against... it thus can´t move anymore...and I don't slip with the knife...
then I use the appropriate thick ruler from my shelf... I have varying length ranging from small 1-5 cm and long 1-5 cm rulers as shown in the pics... this add up to thicknesses of way over 30 cm and thus I can create quite big cuts... also this setup makes cutting up squares quite easy and very quick...

I just put one ruler against the other and thus combine their width... a fairly easy and trusty method...

and we all know that we love it when a plan comes together, eh?

Ah, a father's love. Currently my eldest has a 3-D cardboard horse in his room that was the result of his life-sized puppet knight (that he made at school) needing a steed.
The things we do for them...

... yup... sometimes we need to do these things^^...

I just hope he likes it^^

and a cardboard horse? why not then make a cardboard horse for your terrain? like a Trojan horse... only with lasers attached?

If you do that make sure to save the cutoff from making the horse, because horses leave trails . Thank you very much I'm here through Thursday.

Oh dear...

Well, after the plastic toys got smashed by those other kids, I am sure Vik is making sure that the next batch for his kids are tougher and more 40k like in sturdiness!

That's a fantastic toy Vik!! He'll be quite surprised indeed!

I just keep thinking predator now, looks great though and wood construction so built to last are you going to add a strap to this as it could be quite heavy I imagine ?
