Blackadder's Landkreuzer P500; Die Wühlmaus A 40K WIP

  • What a great work, sadly my english isn't good enough, to tell You about my respect for You. Incredible! :8o: :respect:

    Malanthrope: The result of a Venomthrope and a Zoanthrope's drunken one night stand.

  • A few missing rivets here and there won't hurt the overall feeling - it might even add to it! :up:
    Good work. Seems to me that you really deserve the martini.
    But don't overdo it, for the Emperor doesn't approve! :P


    So what's going to be your next project? Maybe a 40k scale Ordinatus? Or what about a Capitol Imperialis? :love:

  • In Her Prime II:


    Well not so long after all, this project was about six months to this point. Now that the primer is applied I can see a few areas that need punching up but the overall effect is satisfactory.


    So what you are saying Blackadder is that you are happy with what can ostensibly called "Just a bigger Baneblade?" Ha!

    Yeah.

    Well at least I don't have that half started scratch model sitting around in my crowded "To Do" Shelf anymore.


    Now it's on my "To Paint" Shelf. :D

  • Painting the Super Baneblade:


    Today I bit the bullet and began painting my Super Baneblade. For those of you unfamiliar with this project, a bit of history. My son and I many years ago were novices in the FW genera of Wargaming hardware so as usually the case my son began collecting Leman Russes and other IG equipment which he and I painted in the popular OD Green and Beige of the Imperial Guard. The Leman Russes looked to me like archaic WWI British tanks with a few turrets so to not take over his projects I started shopping around for a more challenging model to build. It was then that I clapped eyes on the recently introduced Baneblade; it was love at first sight...... until I saw the price!


    Not being a millionaire or likely to win a jackpot lottery as I don't buy tickets I thought that it might be fun to try scratch building a Baneblade. I'd never really done any serious scratchbuilding in styrene before but I have built a few "Plank on Frame" sailing ship model hulls with reasonable success. What really started me was finding IBM Ribbon printer cartridges were wonderfully adaptable to making a solid hull framework. At that time I also began a Lucius Warhound because..... well because I'm certifiably crazy but we needn't go there. Well to not make a long story too long I began building the hull, turret and tread housing and had just got to a point where it was beginning to look like a Baneblade when I won a bid on ebay for a derelict Baneblade for a hundred bucks. When it arrived I found my scratch effort was in pretty good proportion but almost half again bigger than the standard FW model.
