Charcaradon - Land Raider Redeemer part 1

Everyone knows Tyberos is gonna need a pimp ride to take the battlefield with his retinue of terminators so i've made a start converting up a FW Land Raider ready to belch fiery hot goodness in his service.  Behold.

Overall not a bad little kit to work with though there is some pretty major gapping that needs to be dealt with before I can prime this one.

Charcaradon - Secret Project Revealed

So for those who didn't guess my next distraction is a Chacaradon army from the Badab War.  This is a chance for me to try out my new super cheap airbrush set up seen here.

As well as some Vallejo Air paints that i'm using for the base colour.  Unlike my scythes there will be no tank bases, weathering and battle damage will also feature heavily.  So far mostly been getting some models assembled as seen here.

With my first individual model follow through up next.

Scythes of the Emperor - Razorback with Assault cannons part 4

Well here we go! Metallics are done, generally tidy up has been completed and its ready for it's squad markings (and a good dusting).

I have also got it's base ready to be primed.

Severin Loth from FW is ready to be painted next in the disguise of a Scythes Librarian.  TTFN!

Scythes of the Emperor - Oh the temptation of change!

Well after a couple of games with my Scythes (featuring many proxies) i've decided to make some changes, the Thunderfire (Mole Mortar) is making way for some Landspeeders to help me with that pesky mech.  The Thunderfire will still see the light of day, though may be CAD designed instead now.  This means that a new army list has been born.

So there have been a few modelling changes, but nothing that affects what I have produced so far.  I've mostly been building a whole bunch of models but I have updates on my Razorback and other goodies still to come, SOON!

Computer Aided Design - Rifleman Prototypes

For those who don't know i'm currently studying computer aided design (CAD) and have decided to use my free time in between sections to improve my skills creating hobby related goodness.  My first effort are some arms for a Rifleman Dreadnaught designed to fit Forge Worlds MkIV Dreadnaught.  These are currently away being 3D printed but here's a look at my first attempt.

Over time my abilities will get better and more complex designs will follow, though I will be sure to preview things here and you will get to see my prototype in the "flesh" as soon as UPS deliver it.

SECRET PROJECT 101

So the promised updates are beginning, this one is a lil tease as to another project to be started soon and as soon as the photos upload i'll reveal more.  Having picked up an airbrush on the cheap i'm hoping to rattle this out to an ok standard, very little converting but hopefully some nice weathering.

So on to the clues, this project will involve two of these three things!

So good luck with the guessing and all will be revealed in the next few days!

BT Broadband - Fail

well so far due to shit service from BT I haven't been able to keep my broadband connected long enough to upload anything. After hours wasted on the phone I appear to have some semblance of a connection so will try to get everything caught up over the next couple of days.
