The build is finished and the basecoat is on:

As you can see, after base coating the contraption , you can’t tell that it is made from polystyrene. The only telltale is the wight when you lift it. So from now on no more pictures as long as I am not dropped out of the build something contest. I will take pictures of the painting process but will post them after the contest ended.

Building of the stage complete

I finished building the stage yesterday. Here are pictures of the changes and additions I did:

I added a sign on top of the speakers. This will display the name of the band in ork glyphs   then I added cabling for the speakers , the guitars and the microphone of the singer.

Here you see the cabling on the singer figure.

Then I added bolts, rivets and nuts to the stage:

And thats what the stage with band looks like at the moment:

I will post pictures of the base coated model in a few days. Then there will be a hiatus as we are not supposed to show pictures of the painted models before the contest is finished.

The orkification starts

Now, after finishing the Leman Russ, the building of the ork parts of the rolling stage starts. Here are pictures of the beginning of the stage:

The mast will carry the sound system eventually, or at least part of it. as you can see there are 4 spaces for the members of the Band left free. Here are pictures of a test fit of the original miniatures the singer ( Eardrumsplitta) , guitarist and the Bass man. The drummer has to be done from scratch.

Here is a picture of the beginning of the drummer:

And the beginning of the sound system:

Complete with equalizer. Next will be the fitting of the sound system and the proper build of the drummer

Start of my entry to the build something contest on Lead adventure forum

thomasriepe , , , , , , ,

I will participate in the build something contest over on Lead adventure forum. You can find the contest here. Feel free to vote once the voting commences .

My entry will be a Ork Goff Rock band for my Ork Warhammer 40000 army. They will get a moving stage in the form of a looted Leman Russ tank. The tank will be a scratch build version to the so called Ruhr pattern. A pattern of Leman Russ as build on the forge world Ruhr in the Germania sector.

I used the paper templates of Patrochloch which you can find here. Here is an example of a printed out template:

The space marine is there to compare scale. I won’t build the Leman Russ out of paper though. To make it more resilient for the battlefield I will use extruded Polystyrene. Like I did with my Thunderhawk which you can find here.

Here are pictures of the three main parts before cutting with the hot wire cutter and after basic assembly with a hot glue gun:

More to follow in the next days and weeks.

Welcome in 2018

thomasriepe , , , , ,

So this is the first post in 2018. The year 2017 wasn’t the best one for my Blog and hobby as I didn’t have as much time as the years before for painting , modeling and gaming. I could only attend the convention in Antwerp because of time constrains. I hope this will be better again in 2018. The hotel for Salute in London is already booked.

Now the first project this year to be started new is a Ork Goff Rock band for my Ork Warhammer 40000 army. I got the old metal citadel miniatures for x mas from my son:

They will get a moving stage in the form of a looted Leman Russ tank . This will be part of the 2018 build something contest over on Lead Adventure Forum. You can follow that contest here.

I will post pictures of the build here ,too.
