Haven�?Tt had much time lately �?" and with world ends on Wednesday �?" I don�?Tt think I�?Tll be able to finish this project �?" time just isn�?Tt on my side
But as a last tribute to the world I�?Tll show you what I have done then :hat off
Update from 09-04-2008
Gunner’s platform:
Didn�?Tt have much of a plan for this, but it all came to me while working on it.
By two small L-shaped pieces of 1.5mm, plastic card the platform is attached to the chassis.
Then I chose to do some railings around the two sides. I made the railings from small pieces of 2.4mm tube and some 1mm rod.
Glued it on, and placed some spiky bits on it (but changed it again �?" see last)
Chassis:
The front is covered in armour plates, now. Gave up the idea about using that spiky Dozer Blade. Just gave it a small piece of chain instead. And I still needs to add some rivets here tooh.
And as said earlier, I have chosen to do the double-sided wheels and have picked up the 4 Ork big gunz. I have tried them on but it came out to width, so I had to narrow the distance a bit. So, the H-beam frame is more a channel frame now - it has to come to look like this:
Barrel:
Chose to do a big Hashut Rune on the Barrel. Made it from a 0.75mm sheet of styrene and glued it on with superglue. It still needs a few rivets.
And for the Muzzle �?� sorry Ishkur (hope you�?Tll forgive me �?" in time �?�), but as you can see on my GH5 �?" Battle Standard Bearer, I love the skulls and curly beard icon too. So, it had to borrow that idea too. So, with a Skeleton shield icon and a bulb of GS I did this:
Think that�?Ts it �?" so it looks something like this (without the double-sided wheels though - sorry):
And to show it�?Ts proportions �?" this little feller �?" who accidentally was sitting at me work station - became rather handy:
The face on the front and the addition of the platform makes for an awesome cannon!! will be a great feature to your army sitting atop hill raining down artillary on your opponenets
Hah! Love the muzzle decoration! If it had not been my idea already, I would have had to copy it from you! :hat off: There is so much cool stuff on this Earthshaker now - the crew platform, the loading hatch, all the gears and decoration…
This will look so cool once it’s painted, it is almost unfair! ^^
Now, if I were to lose against that, I’d be the happiest loser in the world That is outstandingly brilliant! I like the slight change you made at the end to the platform and I think the thicker wheels will be perfect. Any ideas on crew for it? After all, it’d be a shame if they didn’t fit into it’s style properly…
Yes, you design is so cool - so glad you didn’t mind.
@GSF
Yes, it’s slightly modified skull chains from the Chaos Vehicle Accessory Sprue - as ‘slev’ said
@HB
Yes crew …?? Converted Dwarf Plastic Warriors - I think. Like those I made for the Death Rocket - just one with a huge missile instead of a rocket - like these:
Have just ordered Dwarf Cannon Crew arms and some other cannon bits (wheelbarrel etc.) at Horad_O_bits (the eBay shop).
I know this is a silly question but is any of this going to see paint this century? I'm starting to wonder if Clam even has any paint! ;)
Willmark
who cares.. I will paint it for him if he doesn't.. (if the price is right of course)... I love painted stuff, but the conversion work is also amazing and a very integrally important part of the hobby.
- before it will start raining down.
