Merlon's not quite 40K SF thread

Wow, what a nice forklift!

[Merlon]

Thank you both.
590 could be a useful prop in many scenarios, especially with the servo skulls added to the skull docks.

Been exploring the Nubian vault concept and created five buildings so far in various forms.


Now to build some shops, street clutter and courtyard walls to add to the mix.

Quiet weekend, as the boss was away. So able to create mayhem with saws, knives glue and plastic.
Got asked to make a truck for a Necromunda game. Might have got a bit carried away with an inspired by Hydrema 912 build.

Nearly there.

It will do for a plot element, when I get it back will finish painting it

An old plastic Imperial Guard!If only  I got hold on a box of them!

[Freddy]

Great looking little truck!

I did have a box of them, but I sold the majority of them to a guy in Australia. Think I now have just the one and components to build one or two more.

Jumping sideways, an American friend brought me a treasure from far away. Thank you very much.

Will keep me quiet on the modelling front for some time.
Company is called Battle Castings, all their product appear to be sold out at the moment. A series of resin castings, from a 3D printed master, the print seems to have had a lot of facets that will require smoothing out plus there is some mould slippage. This will be a slow burn project.

Ooh, that's very nice! 

It looks like it will nicely fit in with the old Armorcast Titans (of which I am lucky enough to own one), coming from the old Epic/Space Marine range.

I understand it's a 3D design; I'd love to get my dirty mitts on those STLs...

[Merlon]

I'd love to get my dirty mitts on those STLs...

I think they are a none commercial STL, created solely for this model. Very low polygon count hence all the facets.

The model is made from a soft slightly flexible resin, survived a bounce test in a fall to the floor. I suspect the mould is end of life lots of slippage in the seams requiring a lot of sanding and filling. Also areas with extensive pitting in the components. Smoothing the facets requires a lot of patience. Still making slow progress.
Have magnetised the waist and weapon connections.
Some of the print facets are still visible in the legs, put some primer on them as they were getting grubby from handling. Long way to go.

Slightly more psychotic armament of chainsword and power fist
