Dr_Ruminahui Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 That is surprisingly effective. My only suggestion is put some of those reinforcing strips (like those on the bottom and the front "shields") on the back, 1 each half way between the shields - that would give the back a bit more detail and break up the large flat area.

Thunderforge Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Fair point Dr, I wasn’t too worried about the back but I suppose it would have riveted strips there too. I’ll add some when I make a few more of these things. Somehow they look slightly art-deco, which is certainly not a style I’d put in the 40k universe!

Thunderforge Posted July 8, 2019 Author Share Posted July 8, 2019 Three heads and some epaulets to go; did I mention this is a seriously SLOW project? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfpint100 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Still quicker than my painting! They look good :) keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Indeed, slow and steady not only wins the race but is the Guard way ;) As long as you're making progress that's what really counts. It'll all be worth it when you've got your first squad ready for battle! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderforge Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Update! I added epaulets to the infantry squad, and I can’t help thinking they would look better in white. I’ll try it on a test model sometime. The Rough Riders, currently the headless horsemen... And a Commissar Lord (wip) who looks suitably Praetorian.

Thunderforge Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 And also, because I have more time than money, progress on the Lady Sybil, my cardboard Leman Russ Punisher. Uses thick greyboard and pva for the structure, strengthened with shellac. The details are in cereal box card. Rivets are a mix of pva/talc and need a few more coats. Not sure on the best way to make a swivelling turret though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderforge Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Watchtower, from foam-core, corrugated card and a CD. I think it was inspired by the Glazer’s Creek windmill tower, whilst looking nothing like it whatsoever. I think it needs more rivets though!

The Pounder Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Can’t have too many rivets! This is the Imperium of Man after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
