More WIP pictures... because well... Work Progresses....

Yep once again I am on Nights at work this weekend... and as a consequence, more work has been achieved on the Landing Pad Mk 2


first two are of the top piece for the tower in the process of having all the panel gaps hidden with re-inforcing ribs made of card which has been scored and folded to edge the sections and bring it all together....

then that section was finally installed on the tower..
and the hiding of gaps continues onto the rest of the tower.. and will eventually happen to the whole structure...


as you can see, its all coming together, if you look at the base of the tower you can see the access door I have added...

I orinally intended to light this one up.... but I am not so sure I really want the agrovation...

On a completely seperate note, whilst tidying up my shed.... I found these fellows... A little the worse for wear, but hopefully I will get around to painting these up soon....
I find the old chap grabbing a handful of arse particularly amusing....
perhaps I am just a childish sort of person..... lol

well thanks again for taking the time to read my ramblings

more work on the Landing Pad MK II

Hello again.... Working nights clearly agrees with my hobby.... tonight I have been roughing out the top part of the tower for the Landing pad....

I will let the pictures tell the story.....



Bottom and top views of the piece I am building.... in the bottom picture you can see the supports for the outer plates...

one with a space marine for scale purposes.... 

added the sides.... all the gaps will be covered up presently..... Honest!

and lastly a couple of pictures of it in situ.... just to give me a feel of how it will look.....



so progress is made.... which pleases me....

thanks for stopping by, TWTs

Bjorn Again!

Hi, its been a lil while.... but I thought I would share a little side project I have been tinkering with over the last few days.....

Having found most of my old metal Bjorn Fell handed dreadnought, scattered in various bits boxes after he fell from a great height a few years ago... I decided to resurrect him.... using a second hand assault on black reach dread I picked up from my FLGS, and the plasma-uber-ludicrous-cannon off an old epic imperator class titan, and a rather nice forgeworld dreadnought base I found in another bits box (it only took 20mins with a sanding block and a chisel to get the bottom of it flat..... probably my best experience yet with FW resin products....)

so anyway here is what I have done.....

1st up is a quick shot of the plasma cannon roughly attached to the shoulder armour from the black-reach dreadnought, with  the original multi-melta for comparison purposes..... yep.. the new plasma-cannon is suitably impressive for a character of Bjorns stature....

and now just a couple of shots of the whole thing put together....

 I added a piece of plastic to complete the armour on the modified arm... I will probably bow to convention and add some rivets before I paint it.... just to help it blend in..... and a little GS should sort out the purity seal...

Luckily about the only bit of my original model that was still in one piece was the lightning claws style arm... which is handy because its probably the most personal piece, with the wolf cloak and his trademark weapon.... and as you can see I managed to salvage the front plate with the use of a razor saw.. and have attached that to the BR chassis also.....

now I just want to add a few more space wolfy totems and details... then its time to try and paint over that nasty glossy green paint...

thanks for reading..... TWTs
