Congrats Vik, great news indeed!

Looking good, Vik!

Congratulations Vik, fantastic news, well done.

The Leviathan is huge. But at least it will look close to true scale. Awesome work so far. Great work on the modular aspect, excellent thinking.

Glad to hear the schoolings over....at least for you.

How about the leviathan being called "Von Domm" , your planets translation of The Doom

Congrats Vik .

Also the Leviathan's coming together nicely, so what kind of ridiculously overpowered massive super guns are you going to be mounting on this beast .

Hey congrats old chap you now will be known as nursey, great work on the tracks although I thought you were building a battalion with that many on th go

Good thing he is making the Leviatyhan Modular, easy storage!

cheers, vik

Rockets are particularly awesome mate!

the rockets were made from wooden dowels...and used upquite a bit of musclegrease......i got them so pointy due to a pencil shaper...that took some minutes^^...

thanks mate!

Great work Vik. Good luck and happy Father's Day.

well.... i dunno if it is allowed to have two of these a year?... here in germany we already had our fathers day...^^
but back to you then

Ah the return of Captain Vik and his trusty robot sidekick, plus rockets

aye, sharp eye mister^^

Great comp entry, Vik!

~Awesome looking comp entry mate!

And congrats!!! what a great way to celebrate....

Those bunkers look awesome, but the first thing my daughter said when she saw them was "Candy corn!"

at valhala.... needed to look them up and now iit can´t be unseen...

thanks mates... well i have a tough competition to tackle... and up to now it seems my entry is not that high ranking in the peoples choice award voting thread...

but the world is turning nevertheless... and this is something on the subject of a certain leviathan build i want to show you...

so i started to build the main body.... as i run out on plastic card... already ordered, but germany is suffering from a postal service strike...so i think my stuff is hanging in the warp....:facepam:

well... you gtta do what you gotta do...

so i started with the main body, and for that i used plywood...need to get me more stock of that too... but essential the bdy is shaping up...
as you can see in the succession of pics below... built basically a box... then as i saw how difficult this might get with handling and painting i made rectangular holes on either side...tracked dollhouse

plan is that i add a floor for footloggers and so on...




and with tracks to give an impression of size...remember it will have three tracks each side... so what you see here is only the half of everything...^^



strengthening the floor...

and the floor for now... additional texture will happen too...


then the matter of the holes appeared...





plywood is rather easily cut with a carpet knife... thus i have very clean cuts and this allows for the walls later on to be taken out and back in at my leisure....

well... after i have gotten my some suplies...more of that^^

ceers, vik

Wow, big and boxy

I like the idea you used for the walls - I used a similar solution for my old Scarabeus - http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-32373-29976_Scarabeus.html - do you already have plans for that you'll do with the interior?
Cheers
Klaus

that is looking MASSIVE!!! & Very cool!

Lots of opportunity for interior work.... walkways.... ramps gun positions..... the brain boggles at all of the details..... but you will make this awesome I am sure of it!

hey klaus!
i feel so ashamed... i owe you and the fellows here a big carepackage picture show... what with one thing and all the other stuff that happened the last...well half year so much hasn´t been reported here...
i didn´t knew about that build???... but basically my ideas traverse into that direction...depends all on how the build develops and how much detail i will be able to squeeze in... but yeah... if i can manage it there will be everything that makes it a convincing supertank... with bridge and supplies and everything i can come up with...


peeps, i recently got TWO giant care packages...
Klaus, not Santa said recently that he would like to see his stuff that he feels not currently up to to finish as they would rightfully need to be... so already some peeps showed their presents from santa

well... i wasn´t informed at all about any incoming packagings... but then one day the doorbell rang and the postman had these two giant boxes full of the most delicate stuff for me...man... at first i was shocked...i might accidently have ordered something big va ebay


spoilered for suspense and for not exploding the unshielded eye with too much awesomeness^^
tho when i can tackle these and actually finish them as intended by Klaus is still in the future...

also... the boreas walker shown above is THE model that originally brought me to the hobby and i am so very proud of owning this piece of hobby history now!!!!!!
eternally thankful to you Klaus for that!!!



also... i recently made two 40k guns for my two sons...
these where their costumes, made by Mrs. von Domm....all handmade...


later on i can show you some secret shelf of shame projects too...

Incredible! Not much more to say! Well deserved!

Klaus certainly has inspired a lot of people here & to have the model that really kick-started you into all of this is a real treat!!

Congrats again buddy!



PS... thanks for the spoilers..... I very nearly had to scoop my brains back into my head when it nearly exploded and couldn't comprehend all of the awesomeness on show!

LOL....

by the way... i already learned a TON of tricks klaus uses for his ork walkers... which under other circumstances i never would have had come up with... that in itself was an education...to have such pieces in your hand is a whole lot different than just looking at them pretty pictures

indeed mate... i have stop my mind racing and remember always to make one step at a time...

I see a LOT of weapons on the monster of a box hull

the whole issue of weaponry is still to be tackled as well....OMG....^^

This is going to be great..All of it.

I'm eagerly anticipating what you do with that big box o' awesome on treads, Vik.

Love the pieces and models you received in the mail. Great haul, that.

exalted!

With the size you are going for with the leviathan I think you should dual purpose the body of it as an entertainment center. Seriously huge . You could mount a t.v. set to it and have the blue ray player and disc storage inside of it, add some speakers and play tank noises out of it when playing games .
