Armorcast Warhound #1 - 12

Now I'm done with the banner support on the mega bolter, I wandered on the net.

And I saw this heavily modified warhound.

The amount of details added onthis titan is impressive and it gave me ideas.

One Games Workshop barrel cuted in half, some plastic card later, et voilà.

I was productive this week. 

First : magnets under the right foot are done ! 

Three 5 mm magnets will help to keep the warhound up, while I didn't decide what I'll do under the left foot.

Then, I added some banners.

And that didn't fit.

At all.

I decided to cut the width by half, and to keep the pointy one.

Problem was, with the new width, banners didn't fit under the Mega Bolter anymore.

I decided to add some protection
to the underside. 

Slowly and very carefully, I removed enough resin to allow the new 85 x 4 mm plastic card part to fit in.

It's thickness is only .3mm, which isn't enough.

I'll try with a .75mm and I hope the result will be better.

Hello everybody, I'm back.

Sorry for the delay, seems my last post didn't on the right blog, 

and I hadn't the internet nor the PC for a long time so... I'm sorry for this delay.

Good news are good : I'm back on tracks for the warhound.

Both arms and rear alimentation and command racks are done.

It took me time, try and error, do and undo...

But it's finally done.

I magnetised all the panels, to make it easy to remove and transport.

Left side : the other cooling elements.

Still working on the warhound, one problem at a time.

Because everything was back to parts, I decided to use some liquid greenstuff to fill all those tiny holes in the old lady. 

And, Emperor's Holy Throne, there are many !

The two white plasticards on both sides are where I'll modify the warhound and add some more cables.

Two will be "little ones" : command and power for the arm.

Another one, bigger, will be added to the plasma gun.

I'm late for this week's post.

Due to the bad events last friday the 13, I passed most of my time with familly and friends, laughing, eating and drinking.
In two words : feeling alive.

As you can see, the old lady isn't standing on its legs anymore.

After some reflections, I decided to add power and command cables to the arms.

Which means I need to add some plasticard details on the rear and the arms.

One step forward, two steps backward !

And my workplace is a mess. Again.

The base is epmpty, but it won't last.

Armorcast titans are oldies.

And it means you have to adapt and be creative when you need your "mini" to be transportable.

I had to put some greenstuff in the legs holes to be able to put the 5mm magnets in the right place.

I'm proud to announce she's able to stand up !

As you can see on your left, the warhound's head isn't pointing at the horizon.

As a titan, this walker's equipped with two guns. If the head was at the same level than its arms, the crew won't be able to see on the right, nor the left.

...

Now I'm, almost, done with the legs, let's work on the arms.
