    Imperial Guard Tank-fest

    Next up are chimera variants. I'm starting with some wyverns, a hydra and a manticore - then I'll make some vanilla chimeras and some hellhounds. At some point Id like to add some krieg style enclosed basilisks/medusas/griffons but that probably wont be for a while. Thats my wyvern test build...

    Imperial Guard Tank-fest

    Thanks! Yeh, I only plan to game with them at my local gaming club and never at a GW store so thats not an issue with me :) Years ago, the first tank I scratch built was a Baneblade from plans inside White Dwarf - it's sad to see how the company has changed :(

    Imperial Guard Tank-fest

    Hiya, with the recent IG codex update Ive decided to start a mech IG army. Im basing the vehicles off of Patoroch's awesome models although Im simplifying the templates so I don't spend too much time on each tank. Leman Russ's first as Ive always loved the models. I made 1 for testing first...

    Star Wars in 1:270 scale for the x-wing game

    That would be cool. Ive got a long list of stuff Id like to do for star wars & 40k first though, so while I won't say "never" it'll likely be a long time before I get around to other sci-fi stuff.

    Star Wars in 1:270 scale for the x-wing game

    Im done with the Tie defender and phantom now. The defender is ok I think but am quite pleased how the phantom turned out. Now to figure out how to upload the templates. :)

    Star Wars in 1:270 scale for the x-wing game

    Thanks again folks! :) Next up, Im looking forward to the wave 4 stuff but its still ages away and with the info already out there its possible to play them if only you have some models... I can't seem to find anything appropriate though (apart from the E-Wing) so Im designing my own. Here's...

    1:5000 Star Wars Ships

    Scratch that - Im being an idiot. They're in the resource section aren't they! Im guessing I just need to create a few more posts before I can download them...

    1:5000 Star Wars Ships

    These are awesome! Ive got to have a go at some of these. Forgive me if the answer is obvious but where would I get these models from?

    Star Wars in 1:270 scale for the x-wing game

    Thanks dude! Here's some pics of the large ships I made. I also scaled up a YT-2000 to use as a proxy millenium falcon. It looks a little blurry because of the amount it was scaled up but it should be ok for gaming. I got that from; http://momirfarooq.com (although the bandwidth limit...

    Star Wars in 1:270 scale for the x-wing game

    Ive started playing the x-wing miniatures game recently and it's awesome! Rather than getting multiple ships and ending up not using loads of them, Ive opted to buy one of every ship/set for now and fill the gaps with paper proxies until I decide what I like to play. Here's the fighters Ive...

    First build - another nephilim!

    Also - build notes. I found the build fairly easy to figure out - there were no instructions but looking at newobmij's finished models it was all fairly obvious as he's sensibly grouped related parts together. The one part I couldn't figure out was this. But newobmij kindly explained that it...

    First build - another nephilim!

    Yaay - now the lovely new site is up I can post the pics of my first build. There print quality let it down a bit but overall Im very pleased how it came out. I made extra effort to strengthen it with cardfoam/card and black lined the edges which seems really important in lifting the end...

    Welcome to the new Zealot

    Looks like a vast improvement - nice job! How do I find my previous posts (or messages now?) though? - I only made one thread but just can't find it yet. Are there sections of the old forum that haven't been ported across yet?

    First build - another nephilim!

    Hiya Just started 40k papercraft and thought Id also do a build of newobmij's lovely nephilim! I don't collect Dark Angels but love that dinky little model. I would post pics but my upload keeps failing :( (and the jpg is below the min sizes). Any ideas?
