Weathering done, I think, always hard to know when to stop. Maybe did more than I intended but it given it a solid look, no longer looks wooden at all.

Now working in the crew. Look messy now but an oil wash will blend the colours a lot and then highlights and they are done.

Thanks, it’s hard to photograph. No flash and the finish isn’t visible. Flash and it looks starker than it really does. Will need to get some good pics when it’s done but it’s huge!

Started work on the final bits, glowing eyes and zappy gun. Very much wip. Not tried these effects in this scale and it’s pretty unforgiving. Lots of transparent layers to be added. More pics soon.

I love the fact they added rifling to the barrel as well, as it was in some a precision weapon. It’s one of those rules of cool, things. Don’t think about it too much is my advice. Just enjoy the orkyness of it all.

Getting there. The glowing effect isn’t perfect up close but viewing the model as a whole it works, made an error glueing the arms on before painting this. Made it very tricky so have done it all with airbrush and glazes.

And with the crew added. Only two things left to do, a pic of it stomping along with some other boyz and name it!

It’s been a mammoth task painting and building this thing, it has dominated my hobby time since November and I have no idea where I am going to keep it. It’s huge! (I might have mentioned). Doing this log has helped keep me on track, and thank you to those that have followed and commented. Got the bug now and got a kruleboyz project I have been itching to start.

Last pics for tonight. Then the other pics and naming tomorrow.

I am done with this monster. Keep coming back to the name Stompsmaha, from art work and stories in codex titanicus. So that’s what she will be known as. Best as o could do for action shots too.

Thank you all for following.

Way to see a gigantic project through to the finish! End result is immense and looks really excellent, particularly in the flash-less full body shots. Here's hoping you get to have her reign in terror from the tabletop every so often

Thank you, I definitely need to get better at taking pictures. It’s turned out better than I hoped and was definitely a slog but well worth it.

My painting table seems empty now, 6 months of graft but well worth it.

Fantastic work andykp! Must’ve been a real slog, but the end result is one to be proud of. I love the grots eye view pic at the end, gives a great sense of scale. How do you follow that up?

Thanks guys, couldn’t resist a grots eye view pic. As for following this thing up, a smaller project log started painting a kruleboyz army. Very different set of challenges. Some day I’d like to tackle a forgeworld Titan but this thing has satisfied my big model itch for a good while.

I thought the same, then had a very serious word with myself and decided I needed not be so bloody daft. Still haven’t got anywhere to store this monster so he just sits on the dining table or knocks about the living room like an extra guest.
