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.
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.
here are pictures of the more or less finished drum set:
and of the fitted sound system:
I finished the Leman Russ tank by detailing the tracks
and adding the last rivets and other detail to the sides
This finishes the build of the tank. Now i will start to build the stage for the band. I started with building the supporting iron beams:
These were build from 3mm thin polystyrene parts glued to form a I beam. I cut the strips with a special gadget for my polystyrenecutter :
this device helps in cutting ultra thin polystyrene boards . The thinnest I can manage is 1mm.
More to come. what I still have to do is the stage the sound system, the drum set and some ork decorations like a board displaying the name of the band.
I did some more work on the Leman Russ tank. The tank will be without turret as it will be used as a rolling stage for a Ork Rock band. So instead of the turret there will be a stage complete with speakers etc. I added some more detail to the tank . Next step will be adding the tracks and the track guards.
Any comments welcome.
