Blackadder Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Forgot to take these images. Command deck fully inserted showing access to the connecting tunnel to the Flight deck and cockpit. The two naves on either side of the tunnel were going to be sanitary facilities but I was apprised do to bio-engineering of the crew there is no necessity for necessaries.Some sort of bag I suppose.............http://i.imgur.com/lezcj6x.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/lezcj6xl.jpgAnd the frame of the blast door component fits just right.

Blackadder Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Referring back a dozen pages or so concern was expressed as to where the pocket doors would slide when they were opened. That problem appears to have been resolved although if I decide to re-install the WC's, they will be out of service when the pocket doors are opened.Access denied!:http://i.imgur.com/4ILPn3F.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/4ILPn3Fl.jpgThe pocket doors closed:http://i.imgur.com/RCBSBCQ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/RCBSBCQl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248599-blackadders-warlord-wip/page/18/#findComment-3316871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 High-tech futuristic door and frame I need 3 of these for the Command deck alone.

Blackadder Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've just about reached my limit of patience in rendering detail. I'm a bit out of practice working this fine.Here is a good point to show how I cut fine detail pieces not that I am as proficient as some who work with styrene but this works for me.You will note that the door detail is still attached to the sheet (Which is upside down BTW the top of the door is at the bottom of the image). This gives you more of an area to hold onto while you are cutting the detail. After the lines are cut and the holes are final filed then I separate the piece from the sheet.This is one of the few times I use a #11 Xacto tip for cutting, I usually use it to pick up tiny objects such as rivets to place them on the work.I cut out any holes first which saves you from tearing the plastic trying to cut close to an edge. For some reason cutting the hole after you have done you straight slices causes the blade to wander.....I'm trying something new cutting on cork board which seems to work rather well, I usually cut on an old wood butchers block board.You can see at the top of the image the sketched in door detail for a slightly smaller door. That will be the door to the vestibule leading to the rear exterior door on the back of the Titan.http://i.imgur.com/itDg7rn.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/itDg7rnl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248599-blackadders-warlord-wip/page/18/#findComment-3317092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Silvernale Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I almost think that some of the parts you make multiples of would be easier to make a mold and cast them in plastic.

Blackadder Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 After you have rough cut the holes with the knife, dress the edges and rounded corners with jeweler's files and or diamond needle files and yes that is an steel emery nail board; an indispensable trimming tool.http://i.imgur.com/34WlNwE.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/34WlNwEl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248599-blackadders-warlord-wip/page/18/#findComment-3317150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I constantly receive suggestions that I could make these repetitive items faster if I moulded them. While I consider moulding a legitimate form of scratch building, it is a labor intensive and costly alternative to the first time user. I have attempted casting on a small scale to be sure but I have not obtained satisfactory results. Just the other day I attempted casting computer panels that I discarded as inferior. While casting doors may seem a quick alternative there is a lot of problems that the uninitiated do not realize. Bubbles are my big downfall. My castings of the computer panels would have been perfect were I to have a vacuum chamber but such things do cost money and it takes away from the hand crafted aspect of the hobby.Leave the quick route to the professionals of whom can be said, "they're in it for the money." For the misguided few that build for the sake of building there is a certain satisfaction in saying I did it by hand.Of course with the help of the sheet styrene industry and the designers of the original item and the internet for making available the access to the product in the first place and DAMNME if Obama wasn't right, I didn't build that, someone else did. :D I almost think that some of the parts you make multiples of would be easier to make a mold and cast them in plastic.

Blackadder Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Sorry to waste your time but I am trying to come up with a viable amniotic tank to immerse my Princep in and I have come up with this taken from Antenocitis Workshop.These dedicated to 28 mm accessories look beautiful but are out of my price range to make this Titan viable plus they do not fulfill the requirements I deem necessary for my construct.Never the less the ideas seem viable.The amniotic Tank:http://i.imgur.com/OsFD90q.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/OsFD90ql.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Sgh1zBs.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Sgh1zBsl.jpgThus far...................

Blackadder Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I seem to have reached my limit attempting usable door frames for the side doors. I suppose I shall just go for the chiclet style wall panels so prevalent in SF venues. The door frames I coveted were much too fine in detail to render in a workable fashion.The flash image reveals crudeness in the frame opening that I hope to remedy with the modified door trim.http://i.imgur.com/OnRflIG.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/OnRflIGl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248599-blackadders-warlord-wip/page/18/#findComment-3322219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well that's about it for this builder, I've devoted enough time to this door assembly not that I've put in a lot of time to this but enough already, unless I have a major epiphany the door is done as is.............

Blackadder Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 The catwalks installed under the carapace in a rough and tumble fashion awaiting a touch of refinement and hand rails. Note that the command deck is not slid all the way into the slot so the rough front ends of the catwalks are exposed.These catwalks will adjoin the front walks out to the main guns for servicing with appropriate ladder assemblies to the gun stanchions down to the guns themselves.The left side walk with access to the Command deck vestibule..........http://i.imgur.com/CqKxAzF.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/CqKxAzFl.jpgThe right side walk...............http://i.imgur.com/ji7Pr5F.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/ji7Pr5Fl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248599-blackadders-warlord-wip/page/18/#findComment-3324437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 So far almost all the interior is "plug in" modular so painting and view interior detail shouldn't be a problem.http://i.imgur.com/wq9eDG1.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/wq9eDG1l.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/UjIubeP.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/UjIubePl.jpgThe only thing that bothers me is this is beginning to look like the promenade deck on the Titanic and there's not enough space for the deck chairs..........http://www.mapsphotos.net/p%20photo/landscape/main/P1186.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248599-blackadders-warlord-wip/page/18/#findComment-3324883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 The level of detail and effort you've been putting into this is monumental. Its a testimate to the endurance of the human race, much like the titans of the 40th millennium will be.

Blackadder Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks, Â Â God's Blud marry if'n it hasn't been many a fortnight since I hung this abomination together in one piece. What strikes me the most is the numerous areas not yet adorn with detail on the exterior.I've been working on the interior for at least two weeks and yesterday I started on the engineering level............... Since there are many interlocking pieces to the lowest deck I had to be sure the whole of the construct could be assembled.On the plus side it can but on the minus side the leg joints and waist joints barely support the weight. I was sure that would be the case and have allowed for the 2.5 kilos the upper body weight.The 1/4 inch hip bolts still need to be 'Loctited' once the final hip assembly is made but for now I'm afraid 'Dirty Harry' must stand splayed legged.The straight on overall front view; the first wholly assembled image since before I built the Turbolazers.........http://i.imgur.com/GVZUDEl.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/GVZUDEll.jpgA very precarious infantryman's eye view of the God Machine............http://i.imgur.com/57dvZNi.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/57dvZNil.jpgA shot of the side armour fully installed but still a lot of detail needs to be added to the side of the carapace..........http://i.imgur.com/OeIMqrX.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/OeIMqrXl.jpgThe upper waist rotation plate and the bottom of the pelvis block are totally devoid of detail; Fa!http://i.imgur.com/6Hx4Dmk.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/6Hx4Dmkl.jpgIn all I am quite pleased with the results after almost exactly a years work but I would hazard a minimum of six more months to completion.

Blackadder Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 It's anyones guess what these triangular components are from a safety crib side rail to a cooling grid for airconditioning. I ran out of images for this area on the DS Warlord so I am referencing the SM game Warlord TitanAnyway here is the inner panel of the chest armour and the upper engineering viewing window panel in the closed position.http://i.imgur.com/0PPQ9so.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/0PPQ9sol.jpgAnd here we have it in the open position to permit viewing of the interior detail. This whole central hull of the Titan is very strong but it looks like a house of cards.http://i.imgur.com/P9KImjf.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/P9KImjfl.jpghere we have the left side view with the Command deck gallery slid into place.http://i.imgur.com/JHeVVwx.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/JHeVVwxl.jpgand lastly the overall quarter view showing the reworked rear door frame just to demonstrate the fallibility of the Blackadder and a flash image of the same area above.http://i.imgur.com/X1UrX8n.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/X1UrX8nl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248599-blackadders-warlord-wip/page/18/#findComment-3326482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
