[Archive] Scratchbuilt Earthshaker

Pagarus:

I’ve been collecting used up pritt sticks for a while now, because they’re about the right size for 28mm artillery guns, and today I spontaneously used one, a few wooden beams, the lids of two pill pots, and a bobbin to make this:

Bolg:

I say it needs paint!

I’m a huge fan of cheap self made models so I’m ;looking forward to see the end result.

Hashut’s Blessing:

Personally, it will need a lot of work, but it’s a good skeleton to work on. A flared barrel and a lot of ornamentation is needed, IMO.

Still, glad to see you’ve got a start and would love to see this progressing!

G.2:

I can see where you are going with this. I always think that solid wheels do let down the “home made” warmachines. But it certaintly it is not finished yet, so I will wait and see what happens next. Good work so far.

Ghrask Dragh:

Ha, thats great, throw a couple of chaos stars on it, some spikes and a nice paint job and jobs a good one!

Pagarus:

Slight problem, in that the whole barrel broke off, but I WILL rectify this problem, just need time (as I’ve just entered another week of school, update probably won’t be until at least the weekend) In the meantime, I will work on it in any free time I have, stars and spikes sound good, though my bitzbox might not be up for it. I won’t be doing a flared end, I like the solid functionality the barrel has at the moment, but I think I will try to add more interest to the front and around the chassis.

Pagarus:

Okay, fixed barrel by scoring the pritt stick (to give extra grip) and then superglue (as opposed to hot melt glue gun).

What I’ve added: two battlement spikes from the COD sprue, as well as some planking at the front, with a rune of Hashut, and a small plank at the back.

vulcanologist:

Interesting. Keep updating your WIP I’ll be keeping a close eye on your progress.

Pagarus:

Okay update time came sooner than expected.

Added SM hatch for breach doors. Added lever for closing and opening breach door.
