French GD Project

[Hellbrandt Grimm]

Hey Guys !!

And welcome in a thread who should be rather dynamic these next months

I introduce miself. My name is Nicolas PATEY, I'm 29 I'm French (what justifies my poor English level) and I worked in the Games Workshop Company for 7 years. First as K-timer in the Caen Store (in Normandy), next as Manager in Aix en Provence (sooth France) and to finish, nearly 5 years in the Event as painter. Then I left to open my own Store in my homeland, the Normandy.
So efter 2 years, GW offer to me to become a PREMIUM store and I accept. As "PREMIUM" GW asked me to make a gaming table for the French Games Day.

Well, the idea is to make a Big Ork fortress attack by a Big Ultramarine force.
Nothing very particular, but I dicaded to make a Warlord Titan for the Imperium and an Ork Mega Gargant for... Orks

So end of writing, let see pics !!

Here is some wood boards which will be the base of the structure



Same boards cutted...



And assembled






Thats all for today, but I give you rendez-vous next tuesday for the legs !!

Byebye,
Hell' Grimm

[Mega Nutz]

Wow............... enough said!

[SDKFZ]

@ Hellbrandt Grimm: Great Warlord ! Like Sheep said, its going to be heavy but its looking very nice !

Those holes at the top, will you do some sort of "drop in" engine/workybitz for them ? With mesh coverings

Hey guys !!

Today, while I arrived I saw this heap of sluggish wood, so I told it : "Stand up, and walk !!

And the miracle came !!



Well, let us stop the poor jokes

Here is the answer to SDKFZ...



Legs armor



And started foot

[Photographer]

It looks very promising so far but a lot of hardwork! I'll stick with the plastic packs. Merci!

[SDKFZ]

While I fuss in the task, my dudes have the other entertainment no than to photograph me in socks on my gaming table...



The stake in volume of the right leg is ended, here we go the left !!!



A small zoom on the use of the Pod doors, friendly offered by GW for the opportunity...



An overview 3/4 right...



And to finish will know where is Charly the Ultramarine??



And here is for today, as usual, comment, remarks, suggestions... are welcome.

[Konstantine]

Amazing.... This is insane.

The ultramarine is on the Right hand side of the picture,.... SO.... Left shoulder?

[SDKFZ]

Coming along nicely, Hellbrandt ! That foot looks very nice. Like the "ribbing".

Eagerly awaiting updates.

[Hellbrandt Grimm]

Evening friends, good evening !!

Well my titanic day in rather badly begun today, because I realized that has cause of a mistake in calculation, the inside of feet were going to overlap, I am going to try to repair that tomorrow.

Otherwise, I not bad advanced all the same because the dressing of the high part is almost ended.




Then, a small photo of an idea that came to me when I opened the kit of Pod for toes...
The articulation in base of Pod..



Finally a small photo which pleases me well, because one see all the scale of the project there.



That's all for tonight
TY
