Thanks for that cool necromunda link, and those fans look great!
@ vik yep its Brian Cranston from Malcom In The Middle, he is a great actor and I dont think I would like the show as much without him

i think i will give that show a try then... and he was hilarious fantastic in maclom inbetween... so many episodes he alone carried!

Dishwashing detergent Cap would work nicely.

and if you are ever looking for a nice jet/turbin looking thingy... tomato purée tube lids...

That would work nicely. Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever seen tomtato puree in a tube.

It looks like the brand of toothpaste Vampires would use.

LOL... vampire toothpaste^^

no tomato purree in tubes in the states??? where the world has come too...

Americans save the food in tubes for Astronauts

You save food?!? If I dont eat that whole ham right now it will go bad right?

You kid, but I tell you it's hard to break the conditioning of an entire childhood being to told eat everything on my plate.

they did that to you too over in the states? people are everywhere alike i guess...

Last night watched 3 episodes of Breaking Bad and started building my Orkwing

even tho i read the thread title you updated ... i instantly had a strong SW vibe... good work mister!!! you come up with some cool ideas of latley!

if that orkwing goes well... wich i have no doubt... you should do millions of them... that is a most usefull idea to explore futher...!

Hey guys

A tad bit late, but concerning canopies:

Cleaning paint from canopies can be easily done.
You can even remove scratches from clear canopies. Best of all its not even that hard to do... practice it once or twice, and love it forever:

Sand the excess paint or damage to the canopy down using grain 1200 then work to grain 1600sanding paper, and then use a fine cloth and TOOTHPASTE to afterwards clear up the clear parts again. The toothpaste works as a polisher and the canopy will be clear as ever. After all that just dip it in a clear floor polish like parket cleaner for floors, and it'll be shiney and new, as well as protected

Hope you find this useful friends

Thanks MauS !

Sounds like the old remedy for scratched CDs, but I would have never thought to try it.

I don't know about mass producing anything, but I was thinking about vacuum forming transparent canopies for my dakkajets.

Also had an idea for a bike sized hover vehicle, designed specifically so I could vaccum form it.

you do vacuum shaping now too? cool!

I have all the parts to build a small vacuum forming machine. Haven't gotten around to building it yet.

By the end of the year, I plan to build 2 4ft x 8ft Gaming tables and a vacuum forming machine. The gaming tables will have shelves underneath so I can store my terrain collection under the tables they are used on. The Vacuum forming machine will be small, built to use sheets of 5x5in plastic I get from work.

There will be a two workbenches . One with tools, and the second work bench set up with Foam Cutting and Vaccum Forming equipment.

I also have a nice airbrush setup that I've never used.

This is about 10 years worth of stuff I've been accumulating and just kept putting off since we had the kids. Now that the kids are old enough that they don't need constant supervision I'm back into gaming and I need to start using this stuff to justify the space

Hmmmm home made vacuum forming....now theres an idea

The vacuum forming part is pretty simple. The heating the plastic without your wife screaming at you that you've ruined the oven is the tricky part.

It's one of the reasons I'm building it small. When I'm all done the whole thing should take up about 2 square feet of tabletop, with a shop vac under the table.

I almost forgot why I swung by here

nice... but that´s just dry fitting atm? right?

but it sure has the right look already!

and i wish i had the space to have such thoughts rolling through my head...

Yup, just a test fit in that pic. Built the other two wings since then, just trying top figure out how I'm going to attach them and keep them in the open attack foil position.

well... pinning springs to mind... otherwise... it will get tricky and complicated as hell i gather...

Another progress shot of the Orkwing

that is really cute looking...

i think i have to eventually copy that idea!

Orkwing is looking cool

Love the gubbinz for the dakkajet too, very retro


Breaking Bad is awesome, been bigging it up to all my peeps, it didn't get a lot of notice over here either but is picking up interest now. Don't know how you can build anything while you're watching it though, I've not caught the last couple of season 2 yet as I know that once I start I won't be able to tear my eyes of the screen till I'm well into season 3

I'm enjoying the modelling aspect soo much that my current plans for my Ork and Necron Forces are all flyer heavy.

I've been slowly buying up Necrons here and there when I can find them cheap, but I promised myself I wouldn't work on them until I have my Ork forces in order.

Although the prospect of Orkified Necron Allies may allow for some overlap..... just imagine cyborks with Gauss weapons and repair protocols...muahahaha!!!

orkified necrons... that´s bound to be new^^

and i know what you mean... scratchbuilding takes up the main part of my hobby life^^

Took a break from the Workshop to kill some Zombies.

Custom Zombicide Survivor, loosely based on myself


The Miniature is Gruff by Hasslefree

Nice man just nice.. I think I'll need to copy that idea, hasslefree has tons of nice minis

my favorite part about the ork wing pic is the VCR in the background. jokes aside, lookin good!
