stern work is incomplete, lotsa scratchbuilding.

Converting an old Chimera to a Hellhound. Gluing the tank to the body.

Unusual one for me this as I don't usually do patina or scratchbuild much, but I fancied doing something different.

 

The cab and front chassis was part of a built up custom GMC step side truck I bought off Ebay years ago.

I stripped it down and did nothing with it except throw it in a box with a broken 71 Blazer 4x4 and 71 Chevy Pickup.

 

I bought some liquid rust effect , painted the cab. Chopped the chassis in half and used the back of the 71 blazer chassis is its a seperate rail rather than the GMCs chassis plate .

I found some old monogram ford F350 Dually wheels, and disgarded planking from my dads model ship supplies.

The tail lights are from an AMT car transporter trailer and then mud flaps from a revell Peterbilt.

left over parts from a Italeri 15cwt truck and the axled from a tamiya Quad.

Scratchbuilt part to duplicate a Plastruct pump part.

Converting an old Chimera to a Hellhound. The flame cannon is built from various sizes of Styrene rod and the tip of a dreadnought heavy flamer.

 

The turret has extra armour from some left over Baneblade plates.

Based on the designs I chose to copy I made two trips to the Dollar Store. These are the items from the second trip. Again I didn't use all of the items and bought a spare LED light.

I need some decently sized Adeptus Mechanicus symbols for a terrain project I'm working on. The problem? No one makes the damn things any more. So, the only solution is to make my own.

 

I'm building the base model out of balsa wood and other stuff I have lying around the place, then I'll take a mould off it and make as many as I need! Theoretically :)

Shed number two is a model of a corrugated iron shed, the sort that were typical in almost every back garden when I was growing up in the 1960's.

Chappie dog food tins provided the material needed and the rest is just old decking boards.

Sharp edges abound though, so I'll have to make sure this little jobbie is out of reach of curious fingers when it is completed.

After looking at some rather wonderful brick buildings in the Glasgow area, I decided to add a nice decorative tower (of a type that often conceals a stairwell) to a building that I had already started.

Starting hatch and roof rack made from Mc.d's Coffee sticks cut in half and 0.45 wire soldered up to make the frame and the wood was then glued on.
