Please have clothes on...please have clothes on...

only two lil kids spewing milk from their nose...harmless joke

Well I hope you didn't make your kids do it just for the photo op. there's plenty of pics on the Internet to show that same effect

Wonder how this plane is going to go.

Vik will have an airforce.

if he ever gets it done

LOL! There is that, but Vik usually finishes the smaller one off projects, it was a good feeling when he got the superheavy tank finished

yea it was a good feeling it just was a long and ardous process i know you can't rush a genius but still...

Vik will complete this as long as the world does not end. This is one of those modeling projects that we all have the desire to do, but just need to step back every now and again to look from a different angle. It is also one he has a big passion for, so he is doubly encouraged to complete it.

so taht means we need to feed him more amazing hobby related goodies to spur him on or we can get a dominatrix and a crop whip so he can learn to be more disciplined...

Im ashamed!
Ive never seen that da vinci turtle tank before :(

Now thinking of making one for skaven.
Spinning under carriage fitted with blades, and warp lightning guns instead of the cannons

Sounds great, just make sure o paint it yellow. It can be the Da Vinci Cheese Wheel of Death

that comment is two fold... one... big joke on my expense...two...big compliment... I settle for the latter and we all live happily ever after

those where not my kids... spewing milk over the kitchen floor... my wife would go ballistic... milk has the tendency to reek after a few moments...at least that´s what she always says...


so... update time...:

so...here is the flyer as is... it got some serious...half-finished engines...thanks for the how to hints on the propellers Dr H!!!









as you also can see I have built up the canopy of the cockpit, of course this will need lotsa rivets before we can call it finished

and the current look of the engines backside... I have currently no idea how to close/seal this ideas from your side would be greatly appreciated!


and also I have worked on the gondola of the airship... here you can see the current look... together with the blimp... which was deemed from my wife and my son felix as now to be too small for that giant gondola...darn^^...









for stability reasons I have drilled four holes into the bottom of the gondola so that it will rest on for stands ...


cheers, and have faith with my ability to complete something

vik

PROGRESS!!!!! Now I see a twin engine flyer just needs weapons added.

Airship gondola, how big is it.

Nice nice vik!
Progress is getting quicker too.


Im now trying to think of how to start a skaven airship.
The balloon is a real pain in the arse since i have no ability to work with anything other than metal, plastic or resin
So tomorrow i shall hunt through all the cheap £1 shops looking for a kids toy or such an item for the balloon!


Edit: Im a dumb gak!
Water guns have a perfect shape tank on them, and they are plastic!
I need to aquire one.

also... there was a fella here that made his "ballon/blimp" from a smaller football...go have a look into the gallery...and jackal...paper-mâché... the skill of the old ones n ever stops to amaze!

at shaso... the gondola is big 26x9x7 cm are the measurements... I have to solve the size issue of the blimp soon... also... this is still not the airship I secretly wanted to do... but it is the airship I will do now^^...

and guns/weapons are planned.... I want to add rockets and some lasgun-ish weapon systems...

Paper mache and me dont mix all that well vik, i hate the stuff after years of playing with it at school.
Dont get me wrong, its nice to work with and shaping it is so easy its unreal, but its just a material i really dislike to use on models

Closest i use to that is card, and thats only for small cut and stick details that i cant be arsed to sculpt instead

Anyways, 11pm here and im booked in at 8am tomorrow to have more work on the tattoo (5 hours worth) so im heading off for the night.


Hope to see more progress when im back tomorrow vik
I am painting stuff, just a warp lightning cannon, so slow since its big, blocky and a ton of hard to reach spots.

That flyer really reminds me of something but I cant work out what is it a show a toy a movie looks really cool though and the canopy is the bomb

That will be a BIG airship Vik as that is a HUGE gondola.

yup... quite big... which means the blimp needs to be seriously resized to fit to the gondola...what do you think regarding the spikey look? will I get away with that in a steampunky context?

oh... I really hate to have hard to reach places on models... I think this is why I scratchbuild as then I can avoid these^^...never knew you had ink done... what do you have...? lately I see so many peeps with tats...also... it highly depends on your materials you use for paper mache... thin easy to soak tissue paper together with PVA... works like a match made up in heaven!

It will all work out in what details you give it Vik, and you know the drill, "Rivets, lots and lots of rivets!"

RIVETS RIVETS EVERYWHERE. Viktor, the gondala is good, and the flier is coming along nicely.

That flyer is looking ace , as well as the airship gondola. My comment was meant as supportive vik, no slap intended.

all is good

details on the gondola will of course involve rivtes... and some filigree work I have done on my big red tank... this will have lots of aretful metal work... it will be a posh job^^

Good to hear

Flyer is coming along nicely Vik. Well done on the fan blades, look very neat (most of my attempts were not). Look forward to seeing the rest of the engines as they progress.
I used loads of internet pictures of real jet engines as inspiration for my detailing work, although if you're basing the flyer on a Valk' you could follow that, or will you be steampunk-ing these up to the max?

Interesting design for the gondola, look forward to how this progresses.

Now build tiny escort planes.
