195 - Adding Firepower

195 - Adding Firepower

Hot on the heels of the two Leman Russ' and the Basilisk is the bringer of explosive missiley (new word) death - the Deathstrike:

Unlike the magnetised Deathstrike/Manticore I have done before, this was always going to be a simpler build.

A few flourishes have been added. A magnetised dozer blade (something I feel I need to do on every vehicle now) and some track guards which I did mess up with the fit on a little.

I've also done a bit of work on the Vanaheim Griffon and magnetised the mortar barrel. It works well however the barrel weight means it doesn't stay. I'm thinking another magnet to make it a more snug fit will do the trick.

The internal supports took a magnet pretty easily.

The mortar itself had some locating pins that were cut off and smoothed down before I added a suitably sized magnet on.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

183 - Sandpaper and Continual Punishment - H47 Artemia Hellhound: Part 3

183 - Sandpaper and Continual Punishment - H47 Artemia Hellhound: Part 3

I had a bit of spare time so continued with a tiny bit of progress on the Hellhound. In case you've missed the start of this, take a look at Part 1 & Part 2

The promethium tank has been glued in place and only required a small amount of filing on the bottom in order to make it sit flat. The track guards were also tidied up and glued in place.

The green stuff filling was given a quick going over with some fine sandpaper to remove the worst of the rough finish. I didn't spend ages on sanding so hopefully that won't come back to bite me later on. The turret is still loose and will not be glue in place - though I may magnetise the guide peg. I've still got to tackle that wonky barrel as well. Some careful bending will be required as it seems a bit twisted as well.

Not content with one ForgeWorld model to deal with, I bought another one. 

This time round though it's a discontinued Vanaheim Pattern Griffon Mortar. Not a bad find and still a cool looking model.

The Chimera base had been put together and the only resin that has been attached is the base plate/side thing. My only concern is the alignment as the resin isn't level with the inner parts of the Chimera which could make adding the gun shield tricky. Has anyone built one of these before and could offer tips?

Thanks for reading.
