Blackadder Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Blackadder Assembles a Decimator: Sometimes you just get tired of scratch building and need some escapism. I've had this little model kicking around in my "ToDo Cupboard" for a few years. http://i.imgur.com/eWkdD1A.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eWkdD1Al.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sQdKGmO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sQdKGmOl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/EuBgxSq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/EuBgxSql.jpg In assembling it I was greatly surprised how much larger than a dreadnought it really is. Also the little guy next to him; I have no idea what he is at all.

Also the little guy next to him; I have no idea what he is at all. Wow, that thing IS huge, quite an impressive model. I can't help but wonder now how he'd stand next to a knight... And in case that was genuine, that's ForgeWorld's Calas Typhon / Typhus tobe...

Blackadder Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Blackadder's OCD: I wouldn't be the Blackadder if I didn't try to improve on the model in question Since the legs and feet are too small and weak to try to articulate them I settled for the arms and armament. I have three weapons for the Decimator; a big cannon like drum weapon, a Butcher Cannon and a multiple barrel whatever ah machine gun I guess. Anyway I wanted them to be interchangeable and I also wanted the to be pose-able in their elbow sockets and I wanted the arms shoulders to move as well. http://i.imgur.com/6HBohCC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6HBohCCl.jpg The tools seen here and the neodymium magnets are what I used to attach the weapons by drilling the magnet diameter holes and supergluing the 3mm disks in the elbow joints and mount tabs on the weapons The shoulder flexibility is achieved by drilling and tapping 6-32 threads in the resin and securing with 6-32 screws. http://i.imgur.com/mWpRR0g.jpg http://i.imgur.com/mWpRR0gl.jpg You can readily see the move-ability of the shoulder in the above image. http://i.imgur.com/9gu5mv7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9gu5mv7l.jpg Because the weapons are magnet mounted changing them requires but an instant. http://i.imgur.com/Q9P8AtC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Q9P8AtCl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324775-blackadder-assembles-a-decimator/#findComment-4471068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
