I couldn't decide how to mount the cannon onto the tank. Problem solved this weekend when I realise it's the right width to fit inside a Rhino hatch. Glued in place, then the back of the hatch has been sanded down, so when the cannon's mounted, there'll be a little tilt upward. Pleased to have solved this puzzle.
Threw a few more pieces of ridiculousness on the tank and it still looks perfect 40k. Smoke launchers where the old turrets were, lights from the Imperial Sector box, and a few ornamental statues.
Inside there's more lights, some cogs, ladders, lions, tigers and oh my!
Straws? Of course there are straws. I love straws. They're roughly glued into place, and all the glue will be painted to look like an abundance of ugly weld marks and verdigris.
A point to note about the scenery build. On the top of each post is a small but important detail that should be the correct way up.
Can't see it?
So when assembling the church, I realised this just in time and had to flip several over of these inserts to be the correct way up before the glue set. Detail, detail, detail.
Now we're at the point where the tank will need priming. Just need to get the airbrush working and a free evening to make this happen ...

Ha ha, wicked, very 40K
ReplyDeleteThanks! It doens't seem to matter what I do, it's still very 40k :)
ReplyDeleteDon't take this the wrong way but why are you building this? It's going to be unplayable, and looks ridiculous
ReplyDeleteYou mean I can't proxy this as a Predator?
DeleteInject a little fun into your hobby. Relax.
Someone must be new to 40k...
DeleteI love a lot of your work, but this is a really awful project idea. Its the sort of thing I imagine a 12 year old boy to think is a good idea for about 2 minutes
ReplyDeleteIt's okay you don't like it. I love the idea, and it's not impacting you so you'll be fine. Relax.
DeleteHow did this project turn out in the end?
ReplyDeleteI ask this as I am currently my own version! Great work btw
DeleteIt progressed a little further but was put on hold, with a dozen other projects, as I'm a complete hobby butterfly with a limited attention span when it comes to whimsical builds. Hopefully resurrected later this year when things come out of storage.
