Here are some more shots of the components of the bastion (so far). I’ve been thinking about making a different back panel which has a door to enter the base and I’m thinking of adding some more texture/detail to the roof (right now i just have 2 hatches and some skid pads. Also, I want to add some guidelines for the weapon’s balconies/emplacements then I will be ready to go.
The bottom picture shows the detail of the slot on the back of each piece that the roof slides into to build the model.
It looks like the base model is costing about $75 to have printed - I might be able to optimize the model a bit - but I think I’m just going to use a print to make a silicone mold and cast using resin* or dental plaster.
*I really need to get a pressure chamber for casting high quality resin.
The dimensions: about 70mm wide at the base. about 85mm tall at the tip and the roof is large enough to accommodate about 3 long strip bases (about 45 mm).
Base colors on the valkyries for the steel legion project. Used the some more of the Critical Mass Games airbrushing stencils per Chris’s request.
WIP Valkyries shown with some base paint. Some teaser steel legion images coming up this weekend at J. Marcus Studios which I will repost here.
Some shots from the first valkyrie for the steel legion army. I thought I would get a head start on the contraction for James so that he can concentrate on the painting part instead of the assembly. Of course it’s a slow process and I ultimately gave him a half built force.
I did assemble the models in such a way that they came apart to detail the insides. With this model the whole top came off to show the troop bay, the pilot and gunner came out and all of the ordinance under the wings were left off for magnetization later.
