stinkenheim Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 IIRC it's from a thunderbolt fighter. I certainly had (and maybe still have) one that looks extremely similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exetus Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think stinkenheim is correct. Exhibit A: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nPd_lwO-Jsg/UAwn3et7qyI/AAAAAAAABTc/OXXDzu5ynSs/s1600/P7200610.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverike_prime Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Im not sure if your next project can get bigger?!?!? Sure it can. Blackadder can scratch build a battle barge or a fortress monastery haha I can just see it now. He builds it around the Chasis of a truck and has to drive it on to the board. Or rather into the Store. It's primary weapons: Orbital Bombardment. Of bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 No fortresses.............. that's what Styrofoam packing is for................. Warlord and Thunderhawk SeatsFirst let me thank all that responded to my query as to the origin of the cockpit seat I posted.It turns out that it is the ejector seat (empty) that is included with the FW Lightning and Thunderbolt.http://i.imgur.com/GLtcLyd.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/GLtcLydl.jpgWarlord and Thunderhawk Seats Besides the twin seats I made for the Warlord previously I am going to make 6 slightly oversized versions of the Lightning and Thunderbolt ejector seats for my Thunderhawk. Oversized to accommodate the rather robust SM physique. A lesson to all, don't let your ol'lady trash yer bitbox ya might jest need some o' that crap some day.

Blackadder Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Windscreens AppliedI know it might not seem that big a deal to some but installing windscreens on the delicate frame was a time consuming and frustrating operation. I made the panes out of 1.0 mm (0.040 inch) thick clear styrene hand shaped and sanded to a precise fit.Each panel was slightly different in shape and size than its mirror panel but none were more than 0.5 mm which made me extremely pleased.I hope the camera catches these panels I left the dust on and backlit them so they are visible.http://i.imgur.com/yFdhSqI.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/yFdhSqIl.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kParXOz.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kParXOzl.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/QEGYX7m.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/QEGYX7ml.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Small Arms DefenseI strikes me that a Warlord Titan is at the mercy of Small Arms DefenseI strikes me that a Warlord Titan is at the mercy of ill-disposed enemy ground personnel. However powerful the Void shields are can they stop sappers and suicide bombers?What is needed are defense small arms weapons firing down from 30 meters in the air relatively immune to reciprocal fire.Therefore I am adding a fighting platform to the chest shield with egress to the second level of the lower Engineering deck.Funny how this all seems to work out; the CoD blast doors fit perfectly into the opening beneath the head with minor alterations plus it gives purpose to the chest plate and fills the empty space in the lower engineering level.Purists may baulk at this modification so they are welcome to omit this from their Warlord Titans.Below is the Chest plate in place soon to be pierced with bolter loopholes.http://i.imgur.com/m4PSsRJ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/m4PSsRJl.jpgCutting through the forward bulkhead for the blast door assembly.http://i.imgur.com/kQK57a4.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/kQK57a4l.jpgThe exterior blast door in placehttp://i.imgur.com/trx7k0g.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/trx7k0gl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Holographic Tactical Displaysince I deemed this the overall Command Titan with a surfeit of nonessential personnel what better than to have a 3D display table in the center of the bridge.http://i.imgur.com/p5qcHsU.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/p5qcHsUl.jpgI was beside myself in what to put in the huge area behind the flight station when I got this idea. It was either this or throw a grange dance.http://i.imgur.com/ZUKt2ny.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/ZUKt2nyl.jpgI plan to use fiber optics of various colours to represent warring factions with Luteus Vexant and company in the center of the Holo-dome.http://i.imgur.com/Im3iwww.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Im3iwwwl.jpgWhether this works or not will be an interesting experiment but so far all the components seem viable and better still fit nicely into the space available............http://i.imgur.com/6b1QUmN.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6b1QUmNl.jpg Now I just have to figure out how to light it.............
