she still not finished yet just afew little things to do, she has taken me about 4 weeks.
I started her with a template from IRONHANDS, but the materials he said was too expensive, so I went and go some cheap plastic facia board from Wicks 10mm thick for the body.
I cheated on the wings, these are from a old starwars toy, but the effect is good.
I have made the wings and legs demountable for easy carriage.
Top support wings are from 5mm thick facia trim from wicks. The top gun and mounts are from a toilet inlet valve which I found at work in the bin.
Legs are from the same old starwars toy.
Main engine yep u guessed it the same toilet inlet valve, with a cone added to the end for effect.
The underbelly also has parts from the SW TOY and plastic corrugated small tubes for fuel lines.
The front leg was mad from and old toy seat and a 22mm pipe clip.
The bolter gun turrets are home made as well, these are different parts from 4 toilet inlet valves, the main missiles are made from rawl plugs with inserts at the end for effect of missile engines.
Armour plating is thin 0.40mm plastic cut to different sizes.
To get all the different plastics to glue to gether it was a must to use super glue. (plenty of)
She will take about another 2 weeks to finish off, depending on time, I only spent 1 hour per night and 2 hours at the weekends doing this project.
However when coming to paint her this will take more time that the building.
This is most important to all would be builders: I don't have special skills in model building nor do i have special tools. My tools for building her are: Stanley Knife, Hacksaw, Sand paper and a screw driver.
All I can say to you all, you will not know if you can do it, unless you try first, like i did.
I am happy the way she has turned out, so next project will be a:
WAR LORD TITAN
all the best
Dark
I will post the templates and full building later.
Time to go out, see ya all later
