Gargant Work!

First I want to apologize for not giving much information with my pictures. I'm going to try and remedy that from now on.

Now that that's off my chest, the Gargant is really coming along nicely.
 I changed the gun head to a more literal interpretation. Yes that is a metal washer with large plastic rivets.
As you can see I added what I like to call barrel 'flair'. Eventually I will add rivets to each of the 'flair' spikes

A shot of a random mechanical arm, made from the Stompa close combat arm. I'm  not really sure how I'm going to finish it if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

This is the second Primary weapon of the Gargant. Hopefully you can tell that it's an energy weapon, if not, you now know. 

I thought the gun was lacking some detail so I added an exhaust line from the trukk kit and part of an eldar sensor.
The vanes sticking out are from the Manticore/Deathstrike kit and the are mounted on part of a copula from the trukk kit.

Here you can see that I added a radar dish and the coil from the battlewagon zzap gun.
also the basis for this gun is 2 Stompa Chainsword motor things glued together.

Here you can see the start of an AA gun for the Gargant. It has not been mounted as of yet because I want it to be able to move. I have a very good idea how I want to do that.

I changed the superstructure that the head is mounted on.  It now looks reasonably large enough to hold a crew. 

I don't think I ever really took a picture of the back so here it is.

Back In Action

I'm back, though not better than ever, The arm still hurts occasionally but I have started working on my models again.


Anyway I've gotten some work done on my Gargant, I'm going to be playing in a big apoc game in September so I needs to be done by then.

Taking an un-scheduled break from model building

My family has been thinking about moving to a bigger house and so we've been doing a heck of a lot of cleaning. While knocking down a really ugly fence on monday, I swung the sledge hammer incorrectly and managed to pull my arm out of the socket,  It's back in place now but still is very sore. So no knife work for me for a while.

I've also started a Patfhinder Campaign with my sister and a couple of friends so I'll probably keep everyone updated on that as I chance.

Paint!? Am I on the right blog?

Yes, yes you are. I have indeed made some non color-challenged progress.







It obviously needs some more work but, hey, progress is progress.
