Looking Nice! Rogerio: No, it is NOT Star Wars, but Warhammer 40,000. Very different. A pic of the actual plastic model is below: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440275a&prodId=prod1560024

Sorry for not posting progress... I got a little discouraged by a couple of things: 1) I have been printing these on my color laser printer at work. I just found out that the color will flake off if you use the laser instead of an ink jet. That is one of the reasons that my gun barrels and...

I understand how frustrating setbacks can be. Keep at it!

So, not a lot done over the weekend. I did get the turret built and the big shoota added to the main hull. All that is left is adding the shootas to the turret and the track assemblies. I have put off the tracks because I have not been happy with the results I have been getting making wheels...

I have a thread started in the Warhammer 40K section on the Grot tanks I am working on for my son. Check it out!

So... not a lot done this morning (I get to work about 1.5 hours early and model at my desk). I HAVE learned that I dislike making tank tracks. Actually, I dislike making wheels and tanks tend to have more than normal. For whatever reason, my wheels always end up looking ugly. The parts look...

Yeah, I saw that had pirated all of Elli's stuff. I tried to find an email address for him to let him know, but alas, no luck.

I live right off of 288 and McKinney. I just recently moved to Denton, but have lived in the DFW metroplex most of my life.

Greetings fellow zealots! As a kid, I used to LOVE putting together plastic models. However, as years went by, my interests wandered and I no longer did modelling. Fast forward many years and my sons got interested in Warhammer 40K. I had played a bit in it's early years, but back then there...

Thank you! I put this model on hold because I was concerned that it was going to be hideous. I was actually thinking of re-working some of those pieces to get rid of the joins altogether. I am glad that this won't be needed.

I tried to append this to the first post, but it kept deleting the entire post. One of the things that I noticed about this tank is that it seems to be missing a piece: The piece directly under the "1" ends up on the back of the tank and leaves a gap at the point I have circled. I think it...

I am relatively new to paper modelling, but have enjoyed myself so far. I came to the hobby via Warhammer 40k. I love modelling and scratch building and have made a Warhound Titan and done extensive conversions on other models. Recently, I decided to give paper modelling a go and started out...

Is that Patoroch's pattern? If so, did you have issues with 3 parts that fit together on either side of the main fusilage? The joins on mine look terrible: EDIT: I thought I had rotated the pic back, but in any case, you can see the ugly seams that I have. Do these get covered later in the build?

Any more progress? My son (who plays Space marines) was asking if I could build him a Bastion just the other day. I was going to sit down and work out the dimensions, but I really don't feel the need to re-invent the wheel if someone has already done the work. I look forward to your release!
