Hey readers, (all 2 of you...)

Its been a while. Life's been busy. In the grand scheme of things though, progress has been made. The front plate assembly thing is basically done. All it needs is a few bits to break up the space. I also sketched what the sides will sort of look like. Looking at other SM vehicles, the current sides are too plain for something this big. Actually just plain in general. Anyway here are the pics, enjoy!

Here's the sketch, note that the turret doesn't sit as tall as shown.

As always, comments, suggestions and random thoughts are accepted, Thanks for viewing.

Hey all,

The updates to the project are small today, but you can start to see what it's going to look like. I had to take apart the earlier assault cannon mount (Below) because it was too low. The new one looks much better IMO. I also put together a moc-up of the tank so far, and a scale comparison pic.

The angle here doesn't quite do it justice, but you can see how much bigger the heavy is.

Unfortunately, that's all for today. Next I hope to have the front done, and start to detail the hull/superstructure.

Another (Few) day(s) another no new views... Whatever, I proceed undeterred.

Anyway, I've gone and done some major renovations to my SM superheavy. Mostly to the front, but there will eventually be a more detail for the whole tank. Right now though, It looks like a train wreck.

Above is a sketch of what I'd sorta like the new front to look

Unfortunately, In order to do this new front, I had to take apart the whole thing. 

How come inspiration never hits you before you go and build the thing?

The assault cannons will swivel when it's done too... Hopefully.

The inspiration for the front may be obvious to some, but for those of you who have never seen the FW Achilles, here it is:

I've done it, finally making the first post to this almost year old blog. I suppose some background is needed, blah, blah, blah...

-I PAINT AND BUILD 40k models, and have never played an actual game. This gives me a lot of freedom to make conversions and scratch-builds that would never be game legal, but look good, etc. Don't look for models that are codex, game legal, or fluff perfect.

-I actually do pay attention to the "fluff" behind the game, and will try to create a backstory for any scratch-built models. It won't please many of you anal fluff lovers, but hey, something is better than nothing. Feel free to comment on something if it bothers you though.

-At this point, all the painting and conversion being done is Space Marine based. Basically, I'm creating a chapter of marines that aren't entirely "codex". A sort of renegade chapter still loyal to the Imperium, loosely based on the Cachardons's chapter from the Badab War in Imperial Armor.

Not that you care... this is what, the millionth blog of its type?

Here's the good stuff (IMHO).

WIP SM Super-Heavy

 (approx 1.5x Baneblade in length and width)

(Undergoing major surgery ATM, I decided that the front needed to be fixed. Comments? Suggestions?)

WIP Marine

This is the basic scheme for the chapter. The only things left are applying FW (Forgeworld) weathering powder (Fresh Mud, to continue the rained on, muddy look) and basing.

That is all for now. Expect some updates in the near(ish) future.
