@LDD: yea sounds about right for me. I was planning to use one of my plasticard gun barrells that I have lying around from the Ragnaroks, but I had a spare russ gun handy and it saved some time despite being hideously ugly.

@Kepora: Just pm me when you want one, it's not as though I can't cast more

@Shas: Thank you, imposing is just what I was aiming for

*General open invitation*
I'm looking for ideas of bits to make in 3D, so if there is anything anyone would like me to make just say here. " I wish some one made ..."

anyway I'll have some more to show later, once i've edited the images.

battle cannon emplacement:


I have finally got something done on the laser destroyer, the main thing that is left is to make a gun mount, (it'll be a non-laser destroyer) so I've already got a gun barrel ready:


Made the side sections for a rapier, the main headache is going to come from making a gun, I don't really want to go down the FW route of 4 smaller lascannon barrels and would rather make something a bit more original if only so I can have more than one, yea watch this space.


And lastly, I finally got started on the engine extension for the Russ, I'm glad to say it actually fits and I'll be able to attach trench rails etc at my leisure once I finish it off at any rate:


Thanks all,
OMN

You going to cast up the end section I only ask as I am to lazy to make what I need

Plus I would be interested in the turret emplacement as the design fits a range of barriers I have, how much you knocking them out at ?

Yes at some point I will have some ideas and measurements for that project I spoke to you about a while ago, need to make sure I have the cash to cover it first though.

Like the start of the new emplacement plus you would need to change the barrel if you make them for general sale hint hint

Lovely looking gun emplacement there my friend! Really cool!

I wonder if I might be so cheeky.... perhaps I could sent you a file or 2 of some parts I have done in 3d and see how much they would be to produce!? I did have some high and mighty ideas about working through shapeways etc to produce some things but just have had 0 time and capital to be able to do it!

I have Sketchup files if that's alright? I will ping you a PM after work if that's cool?

Very nice work OMN. I wish I had the same amount of patience but alas, I do not. I very much like the veterans on the previous page.

@LDD: I guess I could cast it up, it's actually not perfect I must have mis-measured something as there is a gap at the base of the second (narrower) level that connects to the hatched section of the tank, not sure how I managed that, looks like a 0.7mm gap. I'm not sure it's fixable without re-making it ... or just using filler.

The small emplacement yea, atm I'm thinking maybe £18 for the emplacement & turret, the turret itself is £12. I'll be adding some more bits for the turret at some point, searchlight, extra weapons etc.

That second emplacement turret is just for personal amusement, no more. Although I am making a larger turret for a different reason.

@Magos: Fire away, its no skin off my back to just check them for you. I'm using rhino and it says I can import .skp, shapways takes a number of formats but the standard type for 3D printers is .stl.

@Elnibbus: Patience? I just don't allow myself to place FW orders. Glad you like my veterans, I did enjoy painting them and I admit I'd like to do more, when I get some more Elysians I will.


Arco-Flagellent finished (probably):



not hugely happy with the pictures but nvm.

OMN.

That thing os actually quite terrifying! !!

Lovely work!
And that base is awesome... loads of detail but lets the model really speak for itself!

If it will cast I would be grateful

Sounds like a fair price to me mate might be in for a couple soon, the base looks pretty good and I like the height it gives to the model very atmospheric.

Brilliant work on the arco-flagellant.

The arco-flagellant looks great!

Genius use of bits, especially deldar.

Lovely stuff as usual Noodles !

I was rather hoping you'd put the Ragnarok turret on the emplacement, no good ?

I'm going to have to think about "What I really need……."

Nice action pose for the arco-flagellant! Now I see what that base was for.

The frilly sleeves fit the model surprisingly well. It's looking quite spooky.

The Arco-Flagellant is particularly nice. Very good use of parts. Definitely has a sense of purpose to it.

Nice job on the whipy-choppy bloke. Looks great.

And a good job on the tank and turret parts.

Thank you all glad you like the AF, it was a bit of a slog to get that finished this month.

@LDD: Yea I'll cast it if I get chance, I need to re-work the trench rails too. Since I broke the originals and the molds are not looking too good.

@BigH: rag turret will fit, I just wanted a bit of variety, it'd fit fine. The base size on the smaller emplacement is 10cm on the larger its 12cm.

@ Dr H: Cheers mate, I'm still trying to slog though the backlog I've got of half built tanks.

I might do another base like that for the next months competition. If the monster theme wins out I'll revisit my nurgle champion from a while ago.

OMN.

Do you want me to send you a trench rail to use for a master ?

And thanks for casting the block you will save me a lot of time and hassle

@LDD: Depends, only if they have no bubbles or mold lines, I think I lost (sold) my masters, I'm trying to repair the prints atm. I'll add a bit more detail to the engine section first though

Whilst I have paint on my desk I got working on some more Militia, I need an ammo cable to make the last of them.


and if "monster" wins the next round of the unofficial painting contest, I'll be entering this chap:


It'll be good to do something different for a change. Although I'd like to try the rusty basing again for this one.

Thanks all
OMN.

I will have a look at the ones I have and see, if I think it will fit your needs I will take some pics and send them to you for you to say yes or no does that sound ok ?

Yes let me know when you get it sorted

Like the militia so far but could do with a little splash of colour to lift them, as for monster looks errr strange and odd but in a good way,
Wondering what colour theme you are considering for this ?

Again, I find that my absence from the P&M board has meant my missing lots of top notch work, suffice to say I love it all...

Especially Mr. Skull Face-Dreadlock-Whippy Fella. as for the base

Thanks Ruglud, good to see you back

Yea me too. Probably something to contrast with the rust & decay I have planned for the base but at the same time blending in.

Sure mate, it wouldn't be too much effort to have some more printed off. We can work something out, I'll send you some replacements & extra bits as thanks as well as a small stamped & addressed box for you to post them too me.

There are a few problems with the trench rails that need addressing, namely the height from the bottom hull attachment point, some of the sharp edges are too sharp and are just bubble traps and lastly the lovely 5 sided bolts & washers, whilst they are nice they stick out too much and yes .. bubbles. Other than that bottom spar is too thin and needs bulking up to stop it breaking almost every time I de-mold them.

I'm only 3 hours into those militia give me a chance plenty of time & space for colour: I'm thinking left to right; orange hair, blue plasma, verdigris post.

OMN.

I like the idea to reflect the rust scheme some browns and oranges like an Auburn scheme would work well, what about the scythe will the blade reflect the rust of the base ? maybe make the wood handle a greenish mossy colour to reflect the dank decaying atmosphere of the model.

Yes I know you had just started on the militia but wanted to make sure you added some colour


Are these OK for what you need ? they are all pretty good to be honest the only bits I can see are a little flash or mold line that needs cleaning up.

Let me know what you want to do you don't have to send a box mate I have plenty of them knocking around and packing materials they will be snug as a bug if you want me to post them to you plus saves time

But you will need to PM me your address

Let me just say these pics are exactly as I received them no clean up or tidying, yes they are that good no wait great

Yep, thanks LDD pm'd.

That's what I was thinking on the scythe as well. most of the model was going to be browns - greys - palid flesh.

Those trench rails do look nice, shame it costs so much for international shipping!

Thanks shas, I know how you feel, only I have to fork that out at the post office.

To post up to 100g of small things, like the trench rails, to the US is £3.15 for airmail.

All I can really do is lower my item prices since if I made postage cheaper, some of my items are priced low enough for me to be at a loss in some circumstances.

You could see if any one else wants any near you and group buy ? just a thought and I have to say they are worth the investment

Been a while since I looked at this thread and needless to say this stuff is still awesome!

Torrents of turrets?



not much modelling going on here unfortunately, updated the shapeways store; added categories and 12 new items.

That's.... Some turrets. Impressive!

One can never have too many turrets, I say.
