My wife was suggesting that the slann driver should be floating somehow. similar to how his chair floats when in the army.

yup already thought of that issue... The back will be magnetized so I can get into it and remove the batteries and replace.

Ok so here is some progess.....

Still need more bits to complete the backing where the batteries and switch are... here are some update photos...

Here is the Switch "OFF"

Here is the Switch "ON"

Finally the reveal of the Batteries.

Thoughts?

the thoughts are: I LOVE IT.

This project has to be a money sink though. I wish you could buy bits separately like you could in the past.

Yeah most likely I will be in for just over 600.00 on this bad boy when its done...maybe even more depending on detail work... but so far I am in for 10 stegadons at least...

So unfortunately I am still awaiting bits from Hordes-of-bits from Ebay.. seems his service is getting worse and worse with each order... anyway while waiting I had a flash of ideas last night and spent a few hours on my Thunder Lizard. Completing the Battery Panel, Installing and roping the winches and putting railings up on the Terradon roost platform.

Let me know what you think.....

Battery Panel...

Birdseye of the platform with winches...

Adding a few more bits and working on magnetizing this beast so traveling will be safer. Then its off to prime...

whats you're technique/recipe for getting bone to look that good? i'm working on skulltaker's cloak right now and i can't get the skulls to look right.

StrategicCommand · « **Reply #71 on:** March 31, 2011, 11:59:32 AM »

Really simple actually... bleached bone, devlun mud, bleach bone skull white mix drybrush and re ink then skull white highlights

Rhys · « **Reply #72 on:** March 31, 2011, 08:15:07 PM »

ok great, i'll give it a try, i keep getting that wicked annoying chalky look. your army is coming along beautifully! do they get much chance to see the tabletop? i recall you running an rpg group or something.

UPDATE!!!! WOOO HOOO...

Sorry to everyone who has been watching this post. So many things to do in RL and I have two major projects for Games Day this year....but I made HUGE progress this weekend on painting the main platform. Its not done yet but I thought I would at least let you in on the progress....

I still need to dry brush and clean up some slips but overall this is the general theme of the SUPER Engine of the Gods.

And now more on the Display.....

I still have to air brush and make the trees look a little more realistic. Add flocking and water effects....

My soon to be Swimmers....

My Priest...

My Cold Ones...
