Don't sidetrack him airship first, then assorted other things.

Vik - Yea, ive got a sleeve tattoo done at the moment, just keep getting more added to it as i go when i get a few hours spare.
Ill put some pics up later once ive washed it all up and cleaned it off.


This cannon is a pain in the arse
Soo many places you cant hit with a brush, like forgetting to base it 1st aswell, may have to pop it off the base to do that bit.



Edit, here ya go vik, one tattoo:

Big tat there, but Vik will get that flyer done, and then the work on that zeppelin can begin

at jackal...oh mate... that must´ve hurt quite a bit...ouch...^^...but looks very good nevertheless... somehow i never got the money or the currage put together to get me an ink job...^^...

at dr h...er... yes... i think we can file your last comment under m for modesty

at not_u... funny you should mention that now... i have some deo roll on cans lying around in my bitzbox i found today again that would be most useful for that job

also...

did a ton of work on the gondola... it is now steel plated on two sides... made a big propeller and started with an engine for the airship as well...

and i did a major detail job on the flyer...

BUT... i couldn´t be ar....d to take one pic...sorry mates... you need to wait for tomorrow for a worthy picture update

cheers, vik


by the way.... did i mention that the flyer will be steampunky as well? well i did now^^

What else would it be with Vik at the helm? Can't wait to see the pics vik

you know, one of these days i should really go out and make myself a vic model on my own... there is a commissar and even a servitor out there now with my name on it... but i need to come up with a good selfmade representational model soon^^...

Hmmm, a 28mm scale mini of Dr. Doom?

actually i have one doombot of heroclix already... but it is not really that good looking... also where would be the challange to just take a doom mini^^... it has to be done with GW parts... or for that matter other companies stuff...

Ah well it was meant to be filed under H for Helpful Hint

Look forward to pictures of these major details.

Here is a concept that could be riveted, and made from mini parts, and you would then have to green stuff the robes


Remember rivets and steam punkish, you may need a warmachine caster for the body

also... have you eaten magnum icecream recently?
these curvy icesticks are perfect to make steampunkish propellers...:



just saying^^

at shaso... hmmm a caster you say?....*off to research*

Good call on the propeller pieces. They will look properly pukka.

Really looking forward to seeing what you've done now.

pukka....? i had to look it up... never heard that term^^ where did you got that?

Probably not a word that's made it out of the UK.

wikipedia wrote:In UK slang, it can mean "genuine" or simply "very good"

yup... it said genuine too at
http://dict.leo.org/ende/index_de.html#/search=pukka&searchLoc=0&resultOrder=basic&multiwordShowSingle=on

I was practising my alliteration and it was the first "P" word that I thought of.

and even commented on it´s origin... indian... interesting...

LOL

Yeah, I saw that. The first thing I think of in relation to pukka, other than "Good" is pies (http://www.pukkapies.co.uk/).

Images of steampunkish warcasters who can be used for great mini conversions

Not another side project for Vik!

Just stuff for his much needed self character.

at jackal...oh mate... that must´ve hurt quite a bit...ouch...^^...but looks very good nevertheless... somehow i never got the money or the currage put together to get me an ink job...^^...

The cost hurts the most mate
Dont hurt that much until it goes to the inside of the arm, then it feels like someone is dragging a saw over your arm.

I like em, but they get really addictive lol

I hate it when I make it to the end of this thread. MOAR!

at Dr. H... that word was today even subject of some talk at my school... kinda educated my fellow students in break a bit

i had a look at hasslefree minis...
http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?product=privateer-godwin-%28resin%29~hfp023b&category=miniatures~%2Aresin-figures%2A
this could be a fitting mini,eh?

and shaso... thanks for the tempting...... the warmachine range i have had my beady eye for quite a long time...man these guys know how to get a steampunk fella like me all wound up

also...

what about a good update good sirs?...

first some shots of the flyer... note that the backside of the jets is now sealed... the balls you see now will be a fancy schmancy tesla device that will be the energy cause to keep that flying fortress aloft... brass and blazing energy... who can deny the new arts of science?^^

and on top of the flyer you see a boiler setup...and the tail is shaping up too...more to come...










and then some new pics of the gondola for the airship...

giant propeller...and smokestacks for the engine


engine casing:



casing for the propeller:


and this will be the rudder...


which is atm glued to the propeller casing... which needs to get glued to the engine casing...and also the rudder has already a blade glued to it that you can´t see on these pics...


again... more to come tomorrow!...

at jackal... i bet it hurts the wallet massivly^^... but you are of course doing it not at gunpoint, eh?

at MeatShield ...LOL... hello^^... hope i served you well with that update^^


cheers, vik

No guns aimed this way vik, but £520 sunk into it so far


Amazing progress vik!
Things are starting to take shape pretty quickly now


Edit: Vik, that guy in the link possible has one of the most impressive codpieces on a model to date lmao!

Eat a lot of ice cream recently to get that propeller vik?

I am sure his wife an dboys helped with the Ice Cream disposal situation Dave!

That one Hasslefree looks good Vik! makes me wonder what mods you will do to him?

Flyer and gondola shaping up nicely!

at jackal...520???? gosh... well i hope you enjoy being the canvas then

thanks ... i am very motivated atm to get this build...^^ so that might be the cause for the sudden rash of productivity^^

also...well... curiously i haven´t seen that codpiece at all...?

at dave...

well.... to be frank...both yes and nay... these sticks got collected for about a year now... here and there... the icecream with these sticks tends to be a bit more expensive than standard icecream... but you should see the other more sleek shaped ones...^^... also half of that width i steal them at MC donalds ... they have coffey stirrers that are very versatile

Ah, supplied by Mickey-Dee

at shaso... right!... the whoe family is icecream fanatic^^... once we get the kids home from school it usually is time for an ice...

and yeah... if i would get me that one... it needed some serious converting of the head of course^^...

and thanks mate!
