url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/832936-.html][/url]




everything you here see was made firstly from pine wood sticks...the construction is really sturdy...

after this much further work went in the build and i added a wire fence by using sewing thread, match sticks and later on cardboard and of course rivets...and a brass angle too....also...since the comp requires something to make it sound^^ i got me a small and cheapo chip and micro setup that allows to record and play ten seconds worth of "noise"...

and this is where everything is atm...:still unpainted but riveted...:



also...this is an aquilla made by Camkierhi....excellent work and it helped me for ages...all my own eandeavors to fabricate something like that looked way too feeble...:facepalm....thanks agaiin Cam!!!
















by now you probably guessed it right....it is a dice tower....^^
hope you like...
cheers, vik

Wow, some really great ideas here folks!! Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see these ideas brought to life!

Here are some WIPs I made from last night's work, my Sonic Fence Emitters as they went together.

Under construction. This gives an idea of the parts, their angles, and that it was time consuming.

Almost there, glue drying and making the needed "welds"
[/img]

Waiting for their final detail work, and pylons to sit upon!
[/img]

That's really neat; I immediately think of the speakers from Mad Max on the noise chariot!

It is in part inspired by sonic dog-fences and the sonic fence from "Lost"

Nice fence vik, is that meant to be an electrical fence?

Looking good shas, cool idea. That photo looks real ci-fi, might give lost a try.

Lost went on for a long time!

But yeah, sonic power fence, I have to make the bases, and the pylons, and connectors.

Excellent idea Shas, and they are looking brilliant so far.

@Vik, that is stunning work bud, awesome, and practical.

Thanks Cam!

here is what I shared in my own thread

More work on my sonic emitters for the defense barrier.

Rivets of course!
[/img]

shrouded connectors that also protect the wiring to the emitters, they will help with connecting the emitters to the pylons.
[/img]

Pretty much what will be seen as they point to overlap their sonic disruption fields that are to stop many xenos hoards and other intruders.

Of course I will have to add access to controls for the pylons at their base where the soldiers with the keys can open and turn the fences off for a short time to allow a patrol to pass through. Of course a remote access fob will be used to get back inside, just in case the intruders are smart enough to access a control box. So control box is on just one side.

Very neat indeed.
Alas, I think I'm going to have to duck out of this round. Time and life and so forth

Gotta love the Lost reference. Corvus Belli actually made some minis based on some of the lost characters (Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Locke).

I don't think I get anything done for this one, so I'll bow out gracefully. Too much RL stuff keeping me away from my little hobby workspace. Grrrr.

Great work so far, gentlemen. Sorry to hear about those not able to participate this time around.

As for me, I'm in! Proof pics:







I should have included a model for reference. It measures 2" tall, so it should dwarf most 40K figures.

Inspired by the gigantic speaker in Back to the Future.

Yeah I know I linked to this once before, but I think it's just fun. Looking at it again, I think I need to build that audio rack too. Hmmm...

Don't forget that speakers use cones to direct the sound. I mean, Orks and all, but a flat surface is less visually appealing as well as being a little less accurate.

Nice work guys, not entirely sure what you mean though shas, will just have to wait & find out.

Speakers are conned tbf, but only slightly. Also it would work because orks would think it would afterall

These are a little rough right now, as they were cranked out late.

Pylon bases for the sonic barrier.

Think i get it now, nice work.

Feat yer eyes on this all! Been said that Madness can inspire inspiration and maybe perspiration. Been awake a while now in the mad fever grip of the past to make ideas into reality!!!

Bases of the pylons are set for rivets, and now loo at how they grow! And a volunteer for size comparison!
[/img]
[/img]



All grown to full height now!

With our patient volunteer

Got work done on this project

One almost done!

Your scale shot looks like he is about to take a leak.

Fantastic work. They are looking brilliant, nice design, can really see how they would fit on the table. Great stuff sir.

Getting closer, and will add more to that one in the scale shot.

Physically done, now for paint and flocking!

looks super...nice riveting effort love the spikes on top...ties them in with the 40k universe so much better!

but one question tho...did you integrate actual sound to the models? or is it intended to represent a "sounding" piece of terrain but staying quiet? both i think is a viable entry...just checking^^

Very nice looking, well-riveted. I can see game-wise, where your small team needs to take out the guards in different areas before they can make it to the "sound alarm" button, bringing in reinforcements.

Hey Vik! Thank you btw!

Sadly, no electronics or time to wire those up, so a static model for looks with the assumed ruling of a noise effect. Spikes will also be colored to represent low flight avoidance beacons. I wish I could have made the things with a set of micro-screamers for cool effect!

Thanks Dave. That would make a neat scenario for a kill team mission for sure!

Looking good!

Come on people anymore Wip. Getting close now. Some amazing ideas were kicking about. Was really hoping this round would be full of entries.

Brilliant work Shas, really nice rivets. Looking forward to seeing paint on these.

maybe too tought idea this time
I work on another projects, so start build only yesterday.

I like your geometric approach tek! Very educational!

Progress update!

I carved out the speaker hole, and filled it in with spackle. Looks more like a speaker cone now. Need add back the center bit (dust cap) before I can start painting.

Good work, look more like cones now.

Like the sound weapon idea tek.
