  • Snotling Steps!

    Putzin’ around with a few small things over the last few days. Built the front nose intake. The top/bottom plate and vertical posts/vanes are glued together but poster tacked into place to hold them until the glue dries. I did this so I can remove it from the main nose plate and have access to…

  • Working my tail off – Part 2

    I’m working my tail off here! I’ve now paneled up the entire tail wings. I created smaller plates using the original struts and wing panels as templates. Then I trimmed them a bit smaller and cut them into interesting shapes, sanded them a little and glued them in place. Here’s a support and the upper…

  • Working my tail off here!

    That also means…. updates! I wanted to get the vertical stabilizers done today and that meant doing some of the detailing/paneling on the rear wing section to accomplish this. Here’s how I put it together. I superglued the engines in place and sanded all the edges on the wing panels. Then I used H-Beams to…

  • Finalized Ork Bommer Tail

    Got some time tonight to  work on the blasta bommer. I knocked out the base shapes for the tail – this should clear up a couple of questions floating around. Badfangs suggestion about raising the tail engines up so they’re not directly in line with the front engines was a good one. I accomplished it…

  • Blasta Bommer Tail Work

    Got a little work done tonight – won’t look like much but it’s a bit further along than last night. Did the rolled portion of the wings leading edges. I sliced a styrene tube lengthwise and trimmed it to fit and glued it to the open edges. Then I went after the rear engine assembly.…

  • Full throttle to the engines!

    Spent an hour working on getting the wing/engine connector worked out. Nothing too complex really. Carefully drilled out a hole big enough to just fit the 1/2 PVC into in each engine housing. Cut some pvc and temporarily hot-glued it in place. I then used a snake of plumbers putty and sealed it up good.…

  • More Big Mek Engine Work

    More bommer work done after the initial spaz about the warbuggies… Here’s some parts in subassembly stage. I’ve gotten the putty rounding the engine cowlings done, although not the best. I should have done a one extra engine that I tested everything out on first. Could have been helpful with the bad shaping job on…

    More about the blasta bommer.

  • Finished Apocalypse Models!

    OK, back in the saddle again… Finished up the Apoc models I was working on, wrapping up the paintjob on the second Pulsa Rokkit. Nice to have them finished. Too big to fit all of them on my workbench at the same time so took over the kitchen table for a group shot. Fun to…

  • Pulsa Rokkets!

    OK – got a bit of a break. The guy I was building the other skullhammer and pulsa rokkit for can’t make the Apoc game this weekend so I only need to finish one of them. I could try and take both but because of the way the points are structured, it doesn’t make any…
