Ok. So black friday shopping yesterday at Hobby Lobby proved lucrative.....




that little hole punch makes perfect .040 ivets out of everything from .060 PC on down.







Mass production of rivets just caught up to the titan production line......




Best two dollars spent ever......

ah... that craft holepunch is still on my to get list... for way too long a time...need to fix that soon....

and ...sounds promising... for that amount of time i could stash away a dollar each day and would have enough for a first payment

Love the Thousand Sons Hounds. Your work never ceases to amaze.

If there is a better scratch builder on Dakka I haven't seen his / her work yet.

You have an amazing talent. It is truly awesome.

awe·some [aw-suhm]

adjective

1. inspiring awe: an awesome sight.
2. showing or characterized by awe.
3. Slang . very impressive:


Welcome back btw. Good to see you are back at the hobby and back on Dakka.

One set of short questions please.
How do you bend the plasticard so that it fits tight to the curves of the model. I have tried and have trouble heating and bending plasicard to get the right curves. Are you using a heat gun.
Also. What glue do you use. I have yet to find a glue that does not just fall apart when used with plasticard.

BTW. Your plasticard skills are as skalk stated. very impressive.

I do not generally use a heat gun for anything other than making domes....

It causes too much rippling and distortion for anything else other than vacuum forming.

I use Testors plastic cement in the red tube, testors thin plastic cement in the triangular bottle, Bondene and CA (Cyano-Acrylate SP?) aka superglue. I am in the process of using a Flex-i-file brand Touch and Flo tube to apply much more accurate and clean amounts of Bondene and Testors thin plastic cement. I am hopingthis will clean up my seams and edges significantly. to see my stuff in person is to realize that my photos suck and hide many a flaw. However, seeing as so many people are edging on aquiring my work I feel like I need to step up to commercial quality. As for the cuved surfaces- easier done than said I am afraid. I have attempted, poorly I think to demonstrate the technique in the past. Do this: place one of your hands over the other. the curl all eight of your fingers down. imagine now how difficult it would be if your hands were permenantly glued together in that curled position. You wouldn't be able to uncurl them. That is the idea I use. As far as the warhounds go it is a useful.technique on the shinguards but the carapace only has two thin layers. The carapace of the reaver on the other hamd was better with this method because it needed to have a visible thickness and be able to stay in shape while being removeable.


Have I put too much thought into this stuff?

Speaking of queuing up. I am getting in line at the post office to swnd you a couple thing, Galorn, on monday.....

Not too shabby...



I just finished scrolling and reading through 95 pages and I've come to a conclusion...



YOUR CRAZY!!! I would never be able to build one warhound titan out of plasticard, and you've done SIX... AND two reaver titans.


You are truly inspiring.

Stick around Micah. I ain't done.....

I'm definitely sticking around! When you say I ain't done, I immediately wondered what else are you planning???

Tau XV-9's, Orcas, Baracudas, Eldar, Warlords, Knights.......












Orc everything......

Wait: Eldar! I can't wait to see what you come up with for Eldar.

I am doing an Eldar home world table for my FLGS owner

Awesome... I can't wait to see more!

with your skills i bet orky tech will come to heights....

Awesome! I can't wait! I am trying to make my table as Eldar-y as possible as well (I've got a few pics in my gallery if you're interested). I'm starting on my Eldar Bastion tonight (probably), but I can't wait to see what you come up with.

@ mars2024 The eldar terrain looks nice... and I can't stop thinking about those warbikers. those are awesome!

@Micah: I'll get back to them soon (painting now for a while).

@max: I'd also love to see you take a stab at an Eldar vehicle or two. You've got the skills to make some really awesome variant!

@mars2024: I'd love to see some your newly painted models or WIP. Do you have a blog.

@Max: So how are you planning to paint up all those war hounds?

Actually, I was thinking of taking the Mad Max approach top OrkTech. Essentially, taking it to new lows.......

I would be interested in your Eldar Bastion. I will have to check it out....

Eldar Vehicles? Such as Eldar Titans? I have ideas for those as well.....

I am actually subbed to Mars' Ork Scratch build thread. I like it despite the fact he updates as often as I do.....


I do not paint. The owners of these beauties will paint them.....

This just in:








More news to follow I am sure.....

@ max-Well I just got my photobucket working, but I see you beat me to it.
Bear in mind these are very, very wip still. Mainly laying down some base colors and still figuring out the color scheme. I've decided with Legio Astorum for the 1k sons, and Legio Ignatum for the Custodes one.

I will definately post some WIP, but need to start making progress. Hopefully tonight.

 mxwllmdr wrote:

I have some sketches for an Eldar Assault Transport that would use warp generators to insert a unit into assault - no rules support it, of course, but I thought that if the Eldar had an assault vehicle it would work like that (rather than boring old doors).

@micah: Yeah, it's short and pretty much everything is in my gallery, but my Ork/Eldar blog is http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/463503.page (which will go back to just orks soon) and my (soon to be) only Eldar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/486675.page (thanks, Max, for letting me self-promote on your thread)

You are welcome, Mars......

who pleads guilty for aplying paint on your white cool looking models??? i am shocked...

good looking start...

Actually, I was thinking of taking the Mad Max approach top OrkTech. Essentially, taking it to new lows.......

that depends on the onloockers point of view

That would be LittleSilverGuys, Vik. Blame him.....

Viktor von Domm wrote:that depends on the onlookers point of view

My point of view on the orks is that the average (production) game model looks as if it were put together in a factory (albeit, a dilapidated and sorely under supplied and equipped factory). My goal is to make some ork tech that truly looks like it were slapped together. Much like the custom creations seen in many threads on Dakka, notably Mars' thread. Imagine if you had a two refrigerators, a hair dryer and a fifty seven chevy and needed to make an artillery piece. That is what I mean.


I know that the paint makes the difference, though, and may have to enlist Dave's help in this endeavor. But that is still many weeks away.......
