Blackadder Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 I stand corrected but isn't that based on the Armourcast model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaaish Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That's the old Epic scale Warlord from Adeptus Titanicus. A lot of people still use them as epic warlords today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 This mornings run adding a bit of detail and checking the relative sizes. http://i.imgur.com/IRxU3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/IRxU3l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Back to business: Before I close up the workings of the feet perhaps a demo of the hinges I came up with to allow the side toes to flex. At this point they can flex up and down but once the box like hydraulic compartments at the base of the toes are installed upward movement will be restricted. http://i.imgur.com/HyfxP.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HyfxPl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vSWL8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vSWL8l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/aLFwT.jpg http://i.imgur.com/aLFwTl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Anyway it's the weekend baby and I'm hot modeling-wise I hope to have the front and rear toes mounted today. http://i.imgur.com/yixnd.jpg http://i.imgur.com/yixndl.jpg2118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coryphaus 101 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Very nice. You're making good progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well the weekend is over and in a flurry of productiveness I managed to attach one front toe With hinge as planned and it works and seems relatively strong Now the diagonal stabilizers need a bit of work but nothing extraordinary and they do allow the foot to flex so there's no cause for concern. I can't mount the back toes yet as I have to find 3/8 dia light springs to stabilize the disc; much better than my piston cylinder design, a suggestion from Zathros, a Moderator on another forum and to whom I say thanks. http://i.imgur.com/ykY34.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ykY34l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2oPzF.jpg http://i.imgur.com/2oPzFl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mbET8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mbET8l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6Lguf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6Lgufl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yer repeating yerself repeating yerself I found some 1/2 inch springs 1 inch tall and set about modifying the disc stabilizing system to accept them. I have to admit it works rather well. http://i.imgur.com/5948k.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5948kl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jXNRj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jXNRjl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickSix Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Anxiously awaiting seeing this thing completed. Off topic: Blackadder, do you have any good pictures of your LotD Sergeant anywhere? He looks like he is painted pretty well, and I am a total sucker for LotD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaptermasters Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What patten is this one? http://www.chaptermasters.com/warlord%20titan.JPG I'm very impressed with the amount of detail you are going to. I've done a couple of drop pods from Templates and a war hound head. I got very board and gave up after many hours. Please do keep going. I'm looking forward to see the head finished.

Blackadder Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Not too much to show for this mornings work; the reinforcements for the diagonal stabilizers are installed and the second front toe mount hinge is drying. The stabilizers do not appear to interfere with the toe movement and they appear a close fit to the mounted disc, about a millimeter clearance. I should be starting on the shank of the leg this weekend if the holiday doesn't interfere too much. http://i.imgur.com/7O5mp.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7O5mpl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/brFeG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/brFeGl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 That is my son's work, he's a much more patient painter than I am. With the paranoia of machine shop precision I managed to drill and tap two perfect (with apologies to Werner Heisenberg) holes with a 10-32 tap for my axle shafts. Tack glue them in place and set aside to dry and for photos. http://i.imgur.com/kGPog.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kGPogl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eqVE9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eqVE9l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/v42fz.jpg http://i.imgur.com/v42fzl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I pulled a virtual all nighter and managed to apply a bit of colour (gray is a colour) to the mechanical interior of the foot before final assembly. once the rear toe compartment is glued on it will require micro surgery to access the stabilizer components. I did a lot of reinforcing before I sealed it up. Its a good thing I took pictures because painted gray not much of the mechanics is visible. http://i.imgur.com/7ez94.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7ez94l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7W8iG.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7W8iGl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jYBJE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jYBJEl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NzKR9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/NzKR9l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 I cut the lower leg panels today, four rectangular pieces 8 inches by 3.5 inches nothing to show really but for dessert I installed some of the detail on the feet which has to be in place to check the clearance the when I bolt the lower knuckle to the foot. I also got an idea for making the diagonal more flexible, note the right foot the diagonal toes may rotate in place to work with the front toes refer to the third image. http://i.imgur.com/nu1GC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nu1GCl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UqVgS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UqVgSl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dAtnN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/dAtnNl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Heres more, onward and upward; She's got legs, Er lower legs, Er well plastic rectangles and she knows how to move them, Er well you gotta move them for her. Hmm sounds like my ex-wife. Anyhow the pivots seem adequate and should easily support ten lbs each. http://i.imgur.com/9BEx0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9BEx0l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sDgm1.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sDgm1l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Assembling these lower legs, as basic a structure as they are, teaches us how to build in strength with a minimum of material. I have assembled a box beam structure out of thin plastic and glue that can easily sustain for years if needs be a weight of 50 lbs or more. The ankle to leg joint likewise. There will be no need for buttresses as in the DS model (A problem he acknowledged in his sparse construction text.) except for decorative purposes plus the leg is moveable. To quote the old carpenter's maxim, "Measure twice cut once." or the old Italian carpenter's lament, "Sunnva bitcha I cutta thisa two times and it'sa still too short!" http://i.imgur.com/jZu28.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jZu28l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jpEPm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jpEPml.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
