Title: BSC 2018 Boondock Saints Ill Advised Hijacking Loot
Post by: Boondock Saint on January 14, 2018, 05:37:33 PM
The citizens of Necromunda primarily subsist on Corpse Starch. And what is in Corpse Starch, you ask? Well, anyone who hijacks this delivery vehicle will find out, but they would be ill advised to do so.
Will start the build tomorrow.

Intriguing! I will follow keenly this.

First nights work completed. I am making two vehicles so that if I make a mess of one, I at least have another to complete and enter.
So far all I have done is some of the basic structure of the delivery vehicles. Yes, they do look a bit like the Mystery Machine.

Tonight: the hull between the cab and the load bed done, as well as the windscreen.

Thanks Johnnytodd. I know it's not a huge project, but I am finishing off a scratchbuilt Baneblade at the same time, as well as trying to paint my Christmas haul, so I didn't want to take on something too big and struggle to complete it.

Im am very interested to learn how to make such accurate lines and cuts.
Title: Re: BSC 2018 Boondock Saints Ill Advised Hijacking Loot
Post by: Boondock Saint on January 17, 2018, 08:52:50 PM
Hi ichwillauch. I used a printed-out template for a childish looking garbage truck paper model which I glued to the material I am using (it is actually a kind of vinyl-type board). I then just cut over the lines with a steel rule and a sharp hobby knife with a very small blade (making multiple passes going deeper every time). Once complete, I peel off the paper from the vinyl.
No progress on this build tonight as I am hoping to get my Baneblade super-heavy tank complete in the next few days so I can start painting it.

Tonight I managed to do a lot of detailing: tailgates, lights, grilles, wheel arches, etc. Hopefully I'll be able to start doing the cargo in the next few days.

I really like what you are doing here.
Looking forward to seeing it progress.

Thanks Mason: I am thoroughly enjoying the build, as well as watching everyone else's projects progress.

Not a whole lot of work tonight: all I did was build up layers of scraps with wood glue on the interior of the vehicles to add strength to the structure.

Looking good - and I think the reinforcement phase is one of the more important, incidentally, as it can save a whole lot of frustration when a model falls apart if this is not done.  :D

Post by: Boondock Saint on January 21, 2018, 08:52:00 PM
Thanks Vanvlak. Yeah, better to spend a bit of time now strengthening the thing rather than doing damage to it later (and it gives me something to do with all the off-cuts).
Anyway, tonight's progress: a little bit of detailing (including door handles) and wheels. I also came up with a simple way to do wing mirrors. Glue is busy drying so I will see how the prototype looks tomorrow.

Cool idea, I like the direction those are headed.
Title: Re: BSC 2018 Boondock Saints Ill Advised Hijacking Loot
Post by: Boondock Saint on January 23, 2018, 08:03:02 PM
Thanks Dr Mathias
So I have decided against putting wing mirrors on the trucks. I think they would make the trucks look too modern, and I figure if my Toyota has a reverse camera, surely vehicles 38,000 years from now would have the same.

So, today, I added some more details. I am quite proud of the chimney exhausts.

I think I am done with the vehicles, so will be starting on the cargo.

The details are looking very good

Thanks ichwillauch. I left this project to the side for a few days, but picked up again last night by adding cargo. This cargo will be partially covered by a tarp

Lovely cargo.....

Reminds me of Resyk in MC-1.

Thanks Mason. I'm going to be painting the trucks green as an homage to Soylent Green.

The riot control trucks from the Soylent Green movie poster are exactly what I had in mind when you stated your plans at the start of the contest.

Canvas added and brushed with wood glue to harden it. Tomorrow I will hit it with the black spray paint and then painting (I HATE painting vehicles 😡).

Nice - I like it  8) 8) 8)
Remember, don't post photos of it painted (undercoat is ok) - the photo of it painted should be sent in for the subsequent voting polls.  :D

Thanks for the kind words chaps.  I was too lazy to go outside to spray these things yesterday, so no more progress to speak of (although I am scratchbuilding an Aquila Lander - very fiddly build 😩): will probably black bomb it tonight and post the last pic before the actual painting begins. I still have plenty of time, so no rush.

An image upload problem is ongoing, but is being tackled; BUT due to this issue I decided to extend the deadline by a week, so you have a little more time.
