Looking good!  Can't wait to see it finished.

Good job!

Just don't leave the gothic look! 40k is gothic (horror) not "modern sci-fi".

Very pleasing. Are the tracks of your own design? They're snazzy.

Yes, O-man, the track is all my own work. Although it'll probably change a bit before it's finished. So far the track is totally symmetrical, because I'm only going to make one, then mould and cast it, and modify it to make left and right tracks.

I'ts the only way I'll get close to making both sides match properly...

Oh , and thanks for all the positive comments, everyone!
I'll try and get some more done today - but I have a 54mm Polo player(!) to sculpt first...

Regards,
Reaver

It's kick-ass, that's for sure.

Okay, SuperHeavy number 1 blu-tacked together - I've run out of time to photo the others today, so hopefully I'll get them done tomorrow.

This one's called the Broadsword, and is pretty similar to a Baneblade.

It's 50mm long - I'll do some comparison shots with a Rhino tomorrow.








Regards,
Reaver

Edit: The resin doesn't show up the detail very well - I'll see if I can prime one and then take pics.

This is great stuff.

Is the barrel separate from the turret? Intentional?

Yes, O-man, the barrel's separate - at least for now. I did this one as an exercise in one piece moulding. Every part is cast in a one piece mould, to see if it's easier. And the answer is yes  :smile:  and no  :sad:  !

The flat, wide bits work well, the long, thin bits not so well. So I may switch to 2 part moulds for some parts.

Regards,
Reaver

Yes, I have noticed your prediliction for one-piece molds. They do have distinct benefits in ease of production and lack of mold-lines.
