WIP Eldar Avatar. Scratch build over a action figure skeleton. My interpretation of the classic GWS Eldar Avatar from warhammer 40k.

Scratchbuilt hoverbike, made from household junk and white DAS clay. 1/20 scale, kind of Maschinen Kreiger.

It has taken a while to get to this stage but all the cutting, fettling and fiddling has given us the bit of Aberdonian texture that I was really keen to achieve.

Sadly the photography really shows up the mis-alignment of the stone blocks on the end wall but these things are all part of the learning curve and something I'd take more care with next time.

Latest work on a proof of concept tower for an NP trestle. This one is an improvement over the last version. This is completely made from .010" styrene sheet using a Silhouetter Cameo craft cutter and plastic cement.

1/35 Scale. Materials: Hull and Turret ; Carboard.Other mateials :Plastic, Aluminium Foil,Epoxy putty, Cooper wire. Road wehels : Duplicate whith Resin from scale Kit.( Tiger II,road wheels ).

ZEUS - Imperial Guard Battle Fortress

Scratchbuild

June 2008 - March 2009

This is a 1/24 scale scratchbuild of "Albert", the 1953 Albion Chieftain in the Fagan & Whalley heritage fleet.

The build was guided by a simple outline chassis drawing and dimensions from a sales brochure and photos provided by F&W.

I've added a few details to the interior and dash last night.

Second coat of paint. Tamiya colors used: Flat Earth, Olive Drab, Khaki Drab, and Flat White (to lighten color).

Trying the layout, don't want to end up with a Clone Turbo Tank by mistake.

Rear left side, notice the head swivels a bit in every picture. In the photo of the nose interior you can see a supporting/stabilizing tube mounted to the ceiling, that keeps the rod going through the head from leaning, but allows 360 degree rotation freedom. That rod is screwed into place on the top of the 'head'.

Had to grab a couple of shots with my 45 minute switchstand in the frame. I think it turned out OK.

N Scale 1/160

GHQ Model

Spur N

The end of the fertilizer spur has a loading dock the locals call the "bean dock". This is where large bulk bags of edible beans are transloaded from truck to boxcar for distribution all over the country and even to ports for overseas shipment.

Here you can see the interior of the nose (main body half). The body was first based off the Ghostbusters rear end, then is was chopped to bits recreating the correct shape. Before it is completely glued to the chassis I will add supporting rods all across the interior to keep it from flexing in the future.

You can also see I have cut out a floor panel in the chassis to access the inside of the body when it is sealed. I did this to hopefully include batteries for LED lights or other addons.

I decided to change the interior color to a tan instead of black. It was too dark and you couldn't see any details; now the rollbar will be visible, along with the added accessories. Right now the interior is much too bright and clean.. See the pastel chalks I grinded into powder and stored in the clear containers? Those are for weathering everything for a much more realistic tone.
