And thou shall be named..

That's right, we finally came up with a name, Mortis. It might not be the most original name, but it suits her nonetheless.

Here she is in her full glory.

As you can see there is still plenty left to be done. Putting the decals on took a little more time than anticipated, but then again, everything I do at the moment seems to be taking more time than anticipated.. Either I need to learn how to speed things up, or make some more time. Either way I must be getting old, turning 32 next week, yuk.

So lets see, its closing to a finish, but not quite there yet, we still have the base to finish and getting some (more) weathering done. This should be doable in one evening, so might as well plan in two evenings beforehand (see, we're learning).

What do you think, should we paint her toe nails blue and gold as well?

3D Dreadnought april 27th

Update on the 3D model we're working on.
So we almost finished the left arm. It is missing some detail still, and there is some wiring left to do. As you can see, we tilted the elbow up a bit, as it was pointing too low for my liking.
Put up some pictures as well for reference. You'll notice the flamer being either too big, or it being too close to the arm. Dunno what went wrong there, but we're sure as hell not gonna change it again.

Progressing slowly but steadily. Next up the wiring and finishing the detail, then we can start mocking up the main body.

Looking at the pictures, there are a lot of things going wrong.. ugh.. Hopefully we've got time to fix everything, cuz I really like to move on to the body.

Note to self: Quit rendering after every little detail you've changed, you have a slow ass computer, and it's eating up butt-loads of time.

Imperial Knight Titan WIP pt 2

Time for an update on the Imperial Knight Titan Freeblade.

I haven't done all that that much, been a little busy and had to play a game last night (of course) So I got the rest of the panels in their primary colors, and glued everything on. The only things not glued are the waist, and the battle cannon. this is mainly for transport reasons. So I think I'll have to somehow magnetize them. And on the plus side, this way I can put on the melta cannon as well.
Note to self, 'get some friggin magnets'.

Here she is in her full glory...

Still have to give her a name, any ideas?

She's got a purrdy face

Disassembled, ready for transport

Next up are the decals, and after that, the base and some weathering.
Now I hate weathering, I'm not good at it, and it makes the pretty models all dirty, and beat up. Gives 'em character though, so I guess I'll have to bite the pillow on this one. Need to find some tutorials on how to do it properly.

3D dreadnought

Ok so here's the story, as of next year I will finally be drawing in 3D again, instead of the dreadful 2D AutoCAD I'm working with now. So for practice I was thinking, why not combine the fetish I have for big two legged robots, mechanical engineering and Warhammer 40K, and start drawing a dreadnought. Well I have a few laying around so, picked up my caliper and got to it.

I started off by drawing the Heavy Flamer, mounted on the left arm. And me being me, I couldn't resist rendering it right of the bat. I took a little longer then I anticipated though, I must be getting really rusty, but hey its getting there.

At the moment I'm in the process of finishing the left arm, but again, this may seem a little more challenging than I first imagined.

And of course I couldn't resist rendering some more...

It is on a 1:1 scale so maybe when it's finished I could get it 3D printed, although I think a lot of the detail would go lost. Maybe we'll see.

Imperial Knight Titan WIP

Allright, time for a first post then.

At the moment I'm working on my Imperial Knight Titan. As you can see it's not quite finished yet, although it has seen some battles already. Some of the armor is missing, most of it isn't even glued on yet.

Come get some

The colors match the rest of my Ultramarine army

So there's still plenty left to do, up next are the missing panels, the banner the decals, and finishing the base.

Welcome

Hi there and welcome to my blog.

In here, I'm keeping  track of the hobby I'm enjoying, which is Warhammer 40K. Hopefully this blog will inspire you into enhancing and enjoying your hobby as well.
