    Sicaran Battle Tank

    Got one heavy bolter side sponson added. Main turret and side sponsons are magnetized.

    Sicaran Battle Tank

    Just a couple little details left for the turret and then it's complete. Tomorrow is calling for the remainder of the engine and exhausts, and possibly the side sponsons. The turret is magnetized to allow removal and easy turning.

    Sicaran Battle Tank

    Got a little bit done on the turret tonight. I couldn't get the paper template to work for the main body of the turret, so I cut some insulation foam I use for terrain pieces and sanded it into shape, then gave it a nice coat of Spackle to smooth it down a bit more.

    Sicaran Battle Tank

    And some updates on last night's work. Got the treads done and a majority of the armor. Today is going to be "exhausting" ;) and a bit of work on the turret and side sponsons. I used some heavy plasticard under where the main turret goes because I didn't want to layer 20+ layers of cardstock.

    Sicaran Battle Tank

    Probably a cut. I am trying to eliminate the glue tabs that come with the models because I find that they get in the way of certain parts fitting.

    Sicaran Battle Tank

    Started on a Sicaran from Patoroch's models tonight. Reinforced the main body with foamcore, and 3 layers of 110lbs. cardstock for the armor. I messed up on the hull mounted heavy bolter, I forgot to cut the hole for it.

    Start of my Patoroch Imperial Guard army

    I get my builds from Patoroch's folder. He has some awesome models. I might try breaking them down some so when I wrap the fuselage I don't have about a 1cm gap at the end. Here's the link: http://www.4shared.com/folder/2PQOMQdP/Eli_Patoroch.html

    I'll have some updates on my builds maybe later today (Sunday). I have mainly been working on them at work, so there's not been much time to take pics. I have 2 Chimeras, 2 Hellhounds, 1/2 a Baneblade base done, 90% of a Leman Russ Novacannon, and most of the Marauder fuselage complete as a...

    My painting skills are ok. I tend to take a LOT of time painting. That's why 2/300 of my infantry models are completely painted (and I've had the majority of them for over 2 years). But vehicles are much simpler to paint because of the size. I already have a request from my buddy to make him 2...

    Drop Pod

    Plasticard is a thin styrene plastic. I get mine from Walmart and buy the large plastic for sale signs. For my models I use 65lbs card stock from staples office store. It's plenty sturdy enough especially when laminated with a second layer or poster board.

    Just a group pic of the tanks so far. The basilisk I was working on got scrapped because the platform was made from 1/2 card stock and 1/2 plasticard and warped something fierce. I plan on getting the treads laminated for the Chimera tomorrow and at least on before work, then I'll start on the...

    Started a Chimera. I'm only going to use a maximum of 3 in any of my army lists, so why not crank out a quick 2 for the smaller lists? :mrgreen: I was having trouble rolling the smaller lower tuber for the multilaser barrel, so I used a Q-Tip cut to size. I also used Tirick's Chimera components...

    Thank you so much Harkonnen!!!!! :mrgreen:bounce7:D I can't believe I missed this in Armorman's thread, and I even spent an extra 2 hours last night going through everything including Patoroch's mediafire folder and couldn't find it. You're a god sir!

    More progress on the new hellhound. Have both sides attached, half of the base tracks attached on one side. I'm probably going to finish the sides completely before I start on the big fuel tank for the rear deck.

    Thanks Zathros! But I don't have any of my own templates, I'm just using Patoroch's templates. Going to design the big tank for the back myself from the G Hellhound from Forgeworld. I like having the big fuel tank in the back instead of the fans.

    New blank build for the G Hellhound build. Taking my time with the cuts and placement for gluing so it comes out nice and clean. Going to paint it when I'm done.

    Once I completed most of the first hellhound, I realized that the fans on the rear top of the body were just an annoyance. I was looking through Forgeworld and found the Graia pattern Hellhound. I'm thinking of starting to work out a template for the tank to replace the fans but I'm unsure how...

    More progress on the Hellhound. Have the entire left track module including the tracks attached, need to finish the fans up top, turret weapon, and right track module today. Have my 2000 point game against my buddy and his ork army tonight, have to look decent when I'm placing those templates :P
