Hi,
I'm working on a great gargant for my waaagh, and was not opening a thread here as I wanted to enter it into the 2008 contest. As it is, I don't see how it will be possible to finish building it in two months, so here it is and please I would love to here your suggestions and critique  :blush:

The size of the model will be 8 cm bottom to top, and it is tracked instead of  going on two legs. It will hopefully be the first of a couple of gargants, that may eventually be used to teach the enemies of the waagh some respect  :cool:

The main chassis was made from Evergreen plates and rods, and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, and will update from here now this thread also.









Continuing the super strucuture













Hope you like,
Eyal.

It's definately thumbs-up. While staring at it I wondered about a feral Orky invention where grots place rollers in front of the machine, ala how the Egyptians moved stone blocks around.

Where does one pic up the rounded plasti-card?

All I have are flat sheets.

Thanks in advance

Thank you very much everybody, I hope it will be interesting, I'm now struggling with the head of it...

frogbear, the plasticard comes in many shapes, sheet, rods, tubes, and even embossed sheets.

Google for the sites of evergreen plastics, and plastruct, can be bought in every online hobby shop or railway modelling store.

Tell me if you need more assistance,

Eyal.

I've been working hard on the head, which is now nearing completion. hope you like, I tried twice before this got into shape, and is based on the actual GW great gargant.

started like this:



And now look like this:

The head looks great and IMO is the main focal point of the model. Looking forward to seeing more.

Hi,
Thanks :),
Man of Kent you should definetely try and build something, it is one of the most fun things I've with Epic, and very forgiving if you do a mistake, not a problem to correct.
With the Gargant I had to redo things a couple of times..
Eyal.
