A fun scratchbuilding project, more of which can be found on my RMWeb workbench thread

Project complete! Still not sure what I'm going to do with the mis-cast one on the upper right.

 

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 :)

Converting an old Chimera to a Hellhound - The whole deal.

 

The valve on the tank is an ork demo change of some kind, the aquilla panels are from a Baneblade.

 

I put the track covers on backwards so I could mount supports for the tank on them - then I decided I didn't need to. Oh well...

Here is the reactor docked with the socket. The socket presumably being embedded in Tony Stark's chest.

The polymer emulsion cures when exposed to UV light. Just a minute and a half in the good ol' South Texas Sun is more than sufficient. ;)

Adding a scratchbuilt column with doors, girder floor joist and winch post

  

I've been planning this in my head for a month, so I based the construction on observations made in the "real world".

 

I finally sat down and cobbled this together with styrene materials that I had available and using prototype (14' x 48') dimensions as reference. It's not as spindly as the prototypes appear to be, but this first attempt is acceptable.

 

The next step is a shot of brown paint, some weathering and custom images....

Starboard front side, final primer coat

Base coat on the right leg, some detailing on the left and the pre-detailed torso.
