Thanks for the replies. Nobody expects yadda yadda yadda..... A bad week for building. Trying to edit the original barrel work to conform to the new image without replacing too much of the previous work. Once the rest of the detail is applied I think it will pass muster.

It's back to the drawing board because I've found the definitive Gatling gun for my Emperor Titan. This rendering gives a much more complex appearance which matches the detail of the Laser cannon on the opposite side. Since last I addressed this thread I'd made some significant progress on what...

The beginning phases of the Gatling Blaster. Six rotation barrels spaced equal distance from the center barrel hub It took some time to figure out the spacing of the barrels and I had to source the I and H Channels from my styrene provider which took a week. But my Idea is playing out...

Gatling Blaster: While I am in the process of making a HellStrom Cannon I figure it wouldn't hurt to build a Gatling Blaster quick change set of barrels as well. That way I can have the option of either weapon with minimal trouble. The first thing is to make the six Barrel mount cone. Here...

Apples and Oranges: Or Is my face red? A day or two ago I was apprised that the images I was using for my Hellstrom weapon were of a Chain Ammo weapon called a Mega Gatling cannon. :blush: (Why is there no blush emoji?) In defence I rationalized that the overall basic counterbalance form...

Despite Appearances, The clothes pins are on the rear of this piece. The first 3 images are of the paper template I made to pattern the drum gear saddle. (I just make names for these parts as I go.) I made the pattern in full originally.... Although the pattern fit rather well I found...

Serendipity Doo, I found just what I was looking for; I love the internet. What the doctor ordered. The rear assembly of a Mega blaster that can be adapted to my construct with a minimum of alteration. Just assemble a couple of boxlike structures and attach the elevation drum gear. Then...

Once again Serendipity Rears Its Ugly Head. I began this Mega Blaster shortly after the Plasma Cannon but due to the conflict in scales I wasn't sure how large to make the arm weapons so I left it undone. As I built the body and legs it became apparent that both weapons could be ridiculously...

I like the picture and plan to incorporate many of it's features. I was recently apprised it is an energy weapon. And of course the scale is way off but the individual details are quite worthy. Meanwhile: I found some of my old images as well and decided to play around with one. My old Photo...

Thanks for the reply. Multi-Barrel Weapon: I'm trying to rationalize a multi-barrel weapon that looks like a gatling gun but does not rotate. Something like this: Let me know what you think. I don't even know what kind of projectile this thing shoots but judging by the end of the...

Raison d'être: The business end of the Emperor Titan is it's massive arm weapons. For too long I have put off finishing up these bad boys and not realizing the primary purpose of lengthening the legs. The guns were hanging too low and interfering with the hip joints or so I thought. In...

Psychotherapy..... all the while twiddling my thumbs and toes when I could be basket weaving. Whew! 48 of these bad boys and they're only half done. But finished enough to mount them on the corner bastions. I just have to match them in threes to allow for minor discrepancies in size.

It's a good thing hobbies are entertainment expenses. Witness the undeniable joy of making 96 of these detail pieces; HA! 48 shown here but I know I'll probably need at least that many more later on. I streamlined the procedure by making an assembly line. I'd say these detail bits are...

Right now it's been standing on it's own for the better part of a month with no sign of instability 'course if the cat decided to jump on it, it'll topple like Chesty Morgan. It's already done so a couple of times last year (But hey; 2020!) without significant damage.

Thanks for the replies; Up In The Big Leagues: About a week ago I began detailing the various edifices of the upper works and found myself in short supply of the 0.80 X .250 inch Evergreen Styrene strips (2,0 X 4,8 MM) According to my calculations I would need about ten Packets. I found a...

Eureka! First time together with the complete top hamper, the basic edifices that is. Also the first time with the new leg extensions and the full weight if the basic model brought to bear on the legs. The model is extremely top heavy and while precariously stable walking around the...

One of my biggest complaints about the Forge World Warlord is I thought the legs were too short. I even resolved were I ever to purchase one I would lengthen to legs. With a lot of effort I managed to increase the length of the legs by about 7,0 centimeters (2.75 inches). It required a...

A Fine Madness? Someone stop him before he goes all the way back to the beginning!!! This morning I finished off installing the cooling vanes/buttresses (?) around the base of the waist. I've put this off long enough. I couldn't decide how the should be arranged around the forward...

The Wine Was Sour: So I threw it out. I went for broke widening the superstructure deck by about 4 inches which necessitated revamping the ends of the deck. After struggling with the modification ad nauseum working upside down I managed to modify the left hand side of the deck to allow for...

Sometimes You Bite the Bear and Get away With It :D The side crenellations have got to fit within close tolerances. I had only a few millimeters of leeway in seven inches to get these nine dentations to fit evenly without more major adjustments. Naturally I procrastinated attempting to build...
