Thalos WH40K walkers - scratch built

[Klaus not Santa]

Hi all,

I finally managed to add some armor to the two walkers.
These "shields" now cover the armpit area.


It leaves me room for some heraldic or free hands too.

Everything looks awesome, but I have one question.



Does her left arm look a little off??? Maybe its just the angle, or maybe its just me, but it seems too long.

Well, I think it is only the perspective (at least I hope so).
So here are some more images of SGT Jane





Last night I also started to work on the cinematic effects.
Sorry for the really blurry image...
In the front right you see the twin flash from the one Ork twin machine gun, and in the right rear a first test for one of the rockets fired by the Castor.


Speaking of rockets.
Here is the creation of the RPG effect for the one fired by the wounded Ork in the manhole.
As you can see, it's not flying straight, but rather going astray.


Once I was pleased with the actual "flight pattern" and added PC to the wire, I started to pull with the pincers (see also http://fischers-design-shop.blogspot.de/p/muzzle-flashes.html ) and this is how the final effect for the RPG looks.


Some more cleanup (mainly mold lines), some more effects for the other rockets fired by Castor, and then I should have it
I hope you like it and I look forward to your C&C.
Cheers
Klaus

As promised here is the image showing the barricade blocking the road on the right side, and providing cover to the Orks turning the gun, as well as the two heavy-weapons Orks.


I was very eager to see how my cinematic effect for the rocket would look...




So I tried it out last night.


Woooohooo!
I like it!
It looks like the rocket is arching its way over to the building - just what I wanted
Since I want the launcher to fire a salvo of 4 consecutive shots, I sculpted another 3 effects in different lengths last night.


The other effect I wanted to see in action was the astray RPG:


With the missile attached


I like it, but in the current position it is flying directly into the gunners seat


So I changed the flight path a bit to the left.


Now I hope this new flight path doesn't block too much of SGT Jane firing at the RPG gunner.
I will check this out tonight.
I hope you like today's update and look forward to your C&C.
Cheers
Klaus

Really cool, looking forward to seeing it painted up

 

[Klaus not Santa]

Thank you guys!
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY appreciate your feedback - it means a lot to me (especially from Nylon Gag ;D ).

Well, final whistles and bells

The last cinematic effects cured and so I mounted the flying rockets...


Not glued in position, but you can see the nice arching effect...


aimed right at the evading Ork


At the barricades




A look form the other side


at ground level


and the final, final effect.

a small (growing?) flame from Pollux' fist
This completes the build of the diorama.


Next will be priming and then painting.
I hope you like today's update and look forward to you C&C, feedback, comments.
Cheers
Klaus
