[Archive] Building me an Earthshaker, I am [Warning: pics heavy]

Kera foehunter:

lol is that all your paint clam it look all brand new!!!

i love your table cloth

clam:

New? - some of them are more than 10 years old :slight_smile: - but I attempt to take good care of my paints (by not using them - one would say :D). The Washes are brand new. Thought they were another GW gimmick - but they are that good.

You love that table cloth :smiley: - you must be kidding! Wife loves it, but I hate it - and I do hope to spill a huge amount of paint on it (but I must admit that it’s quite serviceable when you have a 1½ year old son :))

Kera foehunter:

great up keep on your paints!!! your love the new washes !!! i do , the best thing wd every did

Chassis:
The strips for the chassis have arrived: Square Tube 4.8mm x 4.8mm and H-Column 6.3mm

So I started out with 2 pieces of the H-Column. 46mm long and then I cut to square holes aprox 5x5mm - 12mm from each side.

Can i ask a favour?
Where did you get those h bars from? i'm having trouble finding somethin similar for my conversions.

clam:

Totally forgot about this project :~

- but sure, no worries :smiley:

They came from a local store :stuck_out_tongue:

- but I can tell you, that they are from a US company called Evergreen Scale Models - here are their website: EVERGREEN SCALE MODELS - think they will be more that happy to serve you.

I also know of a UK eBay shop that sell their stuff: Jackson's Models & Railways | eBay Stores - and do a search for H-columns and I-beams

astragoth:

YOU ARE A GOD!!! that plastic card work is amazing! you have inspirated me to make my own earthshaker .

Skink:

Ehm… Just to contribute to this “thread vintage search”… And just to poke Clam a bit: is there any chance to see this awesome-jaw dropping-mouth watering-incredible-fantastic model painted???

clam:

This project is on indefinate hiatus - so ‘no’ you won’t see it painted anytime soon - unless I should get a urgent need for painting bighats. Quite tempting after painting that illegal Zargod :wink:

Skink:

Ok. sniff tears:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
