bodde Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hello again, Thank you for the nice comments. Today I continued with the frag assault launchers and also managed to paint the spoon holders and put the first layer on the purity seals. I have to appologise for the bad photos, this week I only have acces to the camera in the mobile phone.

bodde Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 No pictures this time only a short report. I finished 40 purity seals today. Now only the front and and side doors left. Most likely finished tomorrow. I'll be back with a new update tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin .44 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 haven't seen this in a while. very well done sir. If it weren't for my upcoming battle company, I'd be right along side you with my own GK LR, but it wouldn't look as awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmodai650 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I would go ahead and use the shield on the front left of the raider. Just put the heraldry markings on it. To me it would be very fluffy. You could even say it was out of respect for its previous crew or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodde Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks for the comments. I like the story behind the shield and will go for it. So far this evening i finished the two side doors. Here is an update.

bodde Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Time for a small update to show that I am not sleeping all the time, finished of most of the assault cannon today some purity seals and the skull left. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/bodde_2006/GKLR37.jpg Also started on the linked psy-cannon. Until next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekkanus Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Wow. This is one amazing project. I'm not a huge fan of completely metallic colour models or marines, but I do like the background for the GK's - and this LR is absolutely fantastic - amazing job mate, looking forward to seeing the completely finished article - i'm glad i'm not the only person that paints the inside of his vechicles!

bodde Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thank you for the nice feedback. Time for a short update. This morning i have finished the psycannon, assaultcannon and a hatch. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/bodde_2006/GKLR38.jpg Next on the list is the heavybolter and the stormbolter hatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Arkhand Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 This all looks great. Its nice to see that you are doing it bit by bit to ensure perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodde Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Just want to make a short update with the stormbolter hatch. (Applogise for the bad picture) http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/bodde_2006/GKLR39.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodde Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Weekend over and the linked Heavy Bolter finished. Next up on the table is the multimelta. And after that finaly I can start with the side spoons. I can start to see the end. I have the hurrican bolters in metal. Do you think I should get on in plastic instead? http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/bodde_2006/GKLR40.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyzerker Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 You've done some very nice work there! Metalics aren't very easy to do over large surfaces, but you've made it look easy. I'm very much looking forward to seeing this absolute beast finished! :D I have the hurrican bolters in metal. Do you think I should get on in plastic instead? That's a good question. I've heard that the metal hurricane bolters can be a real pain to assemble, but I personally have always prefered working with metal componnents over plastics. The metal holds detail far better. I think the metal ones would look far better for your project, but that's if you feel like dealing with the headache! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodde Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hi fellows, It has been many days since my last update. This evening I ´finished the Multi-melta and made some strokes on the lascannons for the spoons. Multi-Melta turrent http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/bodde_2006/GKLR41.jpg And a small teaser on the almost full LR http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/bodde_2006/GKLR42.jpg Until next update.

Messanger of Death Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 This beast looks stunning. The little shield would help break up the silver on that panel actually. As for name it is hard to think of something...any particular sort of names you like for tanks? Examples include veritas which is Latin for truth, while luminarium is Latin for light. There are other names you could go with such as hope, death, vengeance or revenge. Could name it something like Emperor's Might which in Latin is Imperator Vires and in Italian is Imperatore Potrei. Could also go with a name like Holy Light which in Latin is sanctus lux lucis or could be sanctus luminarium. Don't just have to use Latin or Italian, could use any other language you fancy or even mix up languages. Cheers, Messanger Edit - something else you might like is Luminarium Emunari which in Latin roughly means Light to Cleanse. Or Vindico Incendia which in Latin means Delivering Fire.

Thank you for the nice input regarding the name, my favourite of your examples is Luminarium Emanari. All my GK figures have individual names from Roma Legionares. So something in Latin is nice. Yesterday I made some highlighting of the Lasercannons for the spoons and glued the spoons together. And also tried mounting them. Puhh it worked, only two to go now. Will most likely finish the las spoons this week and put a picture here of the first finished combination. Until next time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
