One of the best Imperial Guard tank-based logs I've seen. More, please!
Tinners, this is probably a dumb question, but how do you cut out circles in plasticard? Like the one for the hatch on the turrets of the Ragnaroks?
I'm OK at scratchbuilding with plasticard, but I can't get circles to work at all...
Thanks!
I use a compass cutter, sorry for the late reply..
Anyway, been cracking on these tanks, trying to get them finished as soon as I can. Hopefully I can get all 6 Ragnaroks and the ISU styled Ragnaroks done as well.
So...many...rivets

Wow... those ISUs are some of your best work, I think. The detail on the roof hatches is pretty astounding.
I have no job and I haven't been well this last while, so lots of time...
Couldn't decide on what to arm the 6th Raggy with, so went for another punisher, however I didn't have another Stormlord gun...soooo

Looks great, really! I'm curious, though, about what you'll be doing for tracks on all of your scratchbuilds.
I'm honestly planning on cheating on that part. The plan is to mix enough plaster with the pigment/resin, that I'll be able to make mud that is deep enough to hide the fact there are no tracks.

Very nice work! Thanks a lot for the tips and I think any scratchbuilded stuff deserves a praise of their own.

Going for the "heavily weathered" look, then? Fair enough...
Edit
I guess I should have said "extremely muddy" rather than "heavily weathered."

Sick little tanks man, they came out amazing.
Yep, heavily weathered like the rest of the tanks.
Next addition, SU-100Y Style Malcador/Valdor. You also get to see the size of the Ragnarok family of vehicles...massive..

You've really got the midas touch... the painted Valdor is beautiful, in a very plain, soviet way. It would be awesome to see this army in action! Plans for any infantry soon?
Cheers,
BTB
I love this log! you are very talanted with plastcard.
I will be adding infantry, but I hate painting infantry, so once I get the tanks out of the way I'll need to get them sorted.
Im a "hates" infantry fellow too, Tinners ! Just watch out so you dont fall into the "i could do with another......add name of Tank....." trap ! :D
Best of luck, Mate !

Dont worry, I've already fallen for that trap...I really could do with 3 Chimera counts as...maybe 6...

Still needs slogans, paint chips, etc and the basic pigments that are on it need cleaned up and actually finished.

btw, have you ever though of doing work for commission?
Cheers guys.
And Yes I have and the answer is no.
The Demolisher Ragnaroks won't all have white stripes, I'm adding a bucket full of paint to one so it looks like they are in the middle of doing them. Needs pigments and slogans, however I don't have any slogans, so those will have to wait.

Really stunning work on those tanks i nearly wet myself looking at them you got some serious skill there!
Any chance you could do a bit of detail pics when you build those there is a lot of details i ave no idea how you did them.
Which bits do you mean? I'll try and explain how I done them, as to be fair all of it is pretty simple.

11-10-2009, 23:00
Great Work!
How did you get the lines of the plasticard to stay so true? Did you use a jig-saw to make all the parts such a uniform shape or did you use the old knife and steel ruler?
Looking forward to seeing more.
Just ruler and knife, tho I've started using a chopper for smaller details, and its made such a difference.
Anyway, more tanks. This time based of t-60 light tanks. They will count as sentinels in the end, two with autocannons and one with a missile launcher.

Hm, that's weird. It worked both times earlier, but now, as you say, it's buggered. Hang on . . . when I click it, it redirects me to a bandwidth exceeded message. However, if I copy the link it works fine. Maybe they're still in my browser from earlier. Try "Copy Link Location" then paste the full address into a new tab/window, and see if that helps.
EDIT: It does. I just tested it on the first Demo Ragnarok pic above.

Very nice scratch builds, they are certainly inspiration enough to get out and scratch some orginal armour.:p
I have just started to scratchbuild tanks and i doff my cap to you sir!
Do you use any computer programmes? (i use 2D design)
Do you build 'nets' or around a S.foam 'core'?
Keep up the good work! Maybe a fighter wing to support them??? ;-)

Yeah, threadnomancy. Have something of value to add apart from "Been following your logs on several boards for a while now.", so it should be ok.
With regards to making a plasma constriction coil for a plasma cannon - I just use ribbon cable. The sort you find in any computer store. Available in various widths, too. Takes much of the work out (and you don't have to worry about keeping the coil tight while manually winding it).
Put the join on the bottom/underside of the coil and you can cover it pretty easily.
It takes paint, and drybrushes up rather nicely, too.
Didnt think I'd ever update this log.

What are you gonna use for tracks, because they look wider than the GW versions.
Just gonna hide them in mud...
Stripes done. Dont have any slogan decals any more so doubt they'll get any. Will dust them up tomorrow and chip them.

I'm trying to scratchbuild things myself, but it's taking ages (maybe 'cos I have about 20 projects on the go at once? Nah, that couldn't possibly be the reason - lol).
I'm completely in awe -really inspirational and thought-provoking- and I only have two other words to describe your skills, attention to detail, patience and painting: "A..." + "...stounding".
Thanks but I dont have any problem making the tracks, I'm just being lazy with these and cutting corners, it'll make sense in the end.
Nope, if I played they'd just be Leman Russ count as.

Hey Tinners, would you enlight me? What is the purpose of the ark? Crossing between levels in terrain? Because as bridge it would sank :P
ARKs (Armoured Ramp Karriers) were a british design in WW2 originally built for getting tanks over sea walls after beach assaults. Basically drive it up to the wall, dump the ramps down and the tanks could go up and over. Later they were used for ditches, and even small rivers, were the tank would just drive into the small river and the crew would just climb out. Then be towed out after the tanks were across.

......tracks ?

Tracks will be basically just filled in with mud. Made from pigment, resin and plaster. Theres no point making tracks that are going to be hidden.

I can see from the Bassie/Bombards how you mean with the tracks, sounds like a good idea.

The bassie/bombards/malcador all have GW tracks or scratchbuilt tracks. I've never tried out what I'm thinking of doing, but it should work...
Slight update. destroyers pretty much finished paint wise. Need to get more slogans and stuff.

Astonishing speed and level of your work. I´m more than impressed.
You should do a tutorial or some beginners hints for scratchbuilding. :)
Very nice result. Great effect.

This is brilliant - I love the fact that the crew-man seems to be at ease on top of the walker. The executioner cannon also fits really well. Put it this way - if it was a kit I'd buy it.
One question, are those round plates at the bottom of the legs feet or are they just simply for the balance of the mini itself?

More awesome than usual! Can't wit to see this paintd! Will this have some sort of command markings??
Feet/support. The feet arnt that detailed as they will be mudded up eventually.
I dont count it as anything as I dont play the game, so its basically just a leman russ, tho massive.
It;ll have red stripes instead of white me thinks for command markings.

Directly under the barrel? Its part of the ork deffrolla arm. Had a spare one so used it lol.

I couldn't help but look in this thread... and feel like taking up knitting because I can't possibly match up to the sheer degrees of awesome you have produced here.
I had to look here to figure out what you intended with your hellhounds, but everything is just insane. I love the ISU-203 (let's face it, I doubt your shadowsword is a 152mm gun since you have ISU-152's) and everything is just very impressive. Looking forward to more, since I subscribed to this insanity. The paintwork is beautiful in its stark simplicity.

Maybe some tank riders?? BTR/BTR-T/BMP infantry to protec the flanks????
Valhallans are just too hard to convert for that sadly. I'm just not in the mood for painting more of the same and making the same. I want a change, and for that, this army is finished. I will be opening a log in a week or two with the new project.

I used green. :P
Thanks man. Hope to get the hellhounds finished soonish...tho my other project has sort of taken over.
Just need tracks done

This is so amazing. I could never imagine making anything this intricate out of plasticard, that's why I did so much ork work. I guess you are going to plaster the "tracks" up at the same time to save wasting plaster?
I was wondering how big your collection of plasticard actually looks, and if it's not too much to ask, maybe a picture ha. Cos you must be burning through it at this rate.
The AC is only 28 tanks...well 31 if you include the destroyed ones....Not that big. Will get a group shot soonish.
My collection of plasticard is fairly small actually. I tend to buy only what I need to do a specific amount of things at a time.

Nice work so far! What happened to those panzers from the begining? You are already done with them, so probably not useful advice, but what about building your Hellhounds as Sherman Lend-Lease flame tanks?
I built another 3 panzers, but didnt have enough tracks to finish them, and they just didnt look 40ky enough.
I'm probably leaving 40k/scratchbuilding all together. But I'd be tempted to do a US style ork army. Shermans/battlewagons, etc.

First let me say congratulations on getting engaged mate, secondly while you might end up missing some of your tanks and models if you get back into the hobby, hell you can always build some new better stuff.
Sad that you have to leave. Your work is inspiring, make sure that I will take it in count when I´ll do similars works.
That display board is amazing! Reminds me of this idea I had ages ago to make a true scale fighting scene from the film 'A bridge too far', where one side of the room would have the germans hidden in the woods with machine guns and anti-tank guns and the british on the other side trying to take up positions in the ditches and manouevring their tanks around the hit ones to respond to the german defensive positions.
Cant wait to see all your models on that one! Will be great!!!!
Aww you guys. :'(
As for the display board, the issue is...the ragnaroks are MASSIVE. Almost too big for it, so I had only planned to do one board, but it wasn't big enough, so became two

The Siege Gun variant of the Colossus (did it have a name? I seem to have missed it!) is one of the coolest models i've ever seen. I saw the close up pictures in another thread and all the little detail around the cab just looks so ... realistic is the wrong word. It just looks *right*.
Its a cyclops. Originally a Squat vehicle, like the Collossus. It uses a "hellfurry" cannon, which is basically a squat version of a Lance from a starship.
All you need is to put some giant couplings on the front and it could become a landtrain!

Gen.Steiner
10-09-2011, 07:57
If you do sell them, make sure they go to someone like Sheep or Gravis who can finish them in the manner to which they are accustomed. :)
I second sending them to Sheep. Mostly so I can go drool over them in person.
While I said I was finished, several threads have inspired me to continue. Sorry for all the sadness guys.
Anyway, I want to finish the leviathans/colloussus, and make an ICBM/Mega deathstrike version, and possible a purely troop transport version.
I also want to make more ragnaroks due to a few threads on various forums.
Top is the current ragnaroks and bottom is what the new ones will look like. Based on the KV-5 rather than the KV-2. Blame World Of Tanks.
Some awful fluff.
"While the Ragnarok "Mk1 Mobile Bunker" Proved to be a cheap stop gap alternative, and effective in numbers. The sheer size, lack of speed, and slow turret traverse speed proved to be a massive weakness. In Combat against Ork groups known as "Speed Freakz", the Lumbering Ragnaroks proved to be ineffective at best and useless at worst. SKB 2 design bureau was given six months to design the revamped Ragnarok and deliver a prototype, Object 725.
This new variant shared very little in common with the Mk1, using only similar track units to the original. The Turret was larger and sloped, which provided more room and better protection from incoming fire, the new Turret also had greatly improved traverse speeds, insuring it could track and follow faster moving targets. Now fitted with two 2368cu in/39 litre, 1600hp engines, it was faster and could keep up with the smaller faster, Leman Russ's and Chimera vehicles.
Its first combat debut was agaisnt a Deff Skull Armoured Krumpany, where 25 Ragnarok Mk-v5s faced an Ork horde numbering 56 Vehicles, many being looted imperial vehicles. The Ragnaroks met the the Orks in a large open steppe near the city of -censored-. By nightfall 2 Ragnaroks had been destroyed and 4 had been immobilized. 54 Ork vehicles lay destroyed, none having passed the Imperial defensive line. One of the immobilized Ragnaroks had been hit 32 times by large calibre weapon fire, but was operational within a week.
The tank was considered a sucess, giving the Imperial forces on -censored- a massive advantage over the Deff Skullz."

Early vision KV-2 and KV-5 :eek:
Welcome back, the Ghost of Chelyabinsk:chrome:
PS: WOT is a good game
For a point of size reference, would those track assemblies be (height/length, obviously not width) a Leman Russ size?
erm the tracks are 13cm/ 5 1/4 inches.
So slightly upscaled from the Russ, cheers matey!
Indeed, they are pretty massive when made and compared to a Russ. If you can use that as a template feel free.
You sir, would be surprised at what idiocy I'm capable of. And even more surprised when I manage to do something not idiotic, like using that for a rough template!
Tinners, do you do any commission work?

Another World of Tanks addict? :D I thought about KV-5 when I saw this second turret. I really don´t like, when I ding KV-5 turret with my IS-4. :D
KV-2 is ultimate weapon with famous 152 mm trollgun and HE ammo. :D
Btw from World of Tanks is only small step to Flames of War. :D
Haven't played in it a while, working on getting through the kv series atm, and pzIII/IV. Kinda lost interest at the minute.
Long 107 on the KV is far better than the trollgun.
I've ordered a big batch of materials, plasticard, mr surfacer, tube, rod, etc. So hopefully be able to start the new tanks this week.
Did a quick army list using the IA-7-Vraks Armoured Battle Group:
15 tanks:
----------------
1 Command Tank - 1 Ragnarok Demolisher - Kv-2 with 152mm Gun
----------------
3 Grenadier Squads - 3 Centaurs - Heavy Tractor Komintern's
----------------
1 Tank Squadron - 3 Ragnarok Demolishers - Kv-2's with 152mm Gun's
1 Tank Squadron - 3 Ragnarok Vanquishers - Kv-5's with 107mm Gun's
----------------
1 Destroyer - 1 Ragnarok Destroyer - ISU-152 with 152mm ML-20
1 Destroyer - 1 Ragnarok Destroyer - ISU-152 with 152mm ML-20
1 Ordnance Battery - 3 Basilisk - S-51 with 203mm Gun
----------------
2595pts
So heres the first update....Destroyer gun barrels and Covered Mantlet from Panzer-Art
http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x61/Srennit02/abc/600f4578.jpg
I'm making an assumption that the picture shows the covered mantlet for the ISU-152. How tall is it, when properly oriented?
It is indeed, its about 11 cm long by 3cm tall. Its roughly the same size as the older destroyers I made.

Scale of your operation the surprising!
With interest I track this project.
Dmitry.
Glad I could help you push this project forward, these tanks are awesome and I'm really happy to own them.
Had I not been in such a bad time for money I would have bought many more.
Well they arent selling very well so you might be able to in the future! :P
Heh mate, if I wasn't saving to buy a new man-boy toy (10" tablet) I'd swoop a few myself.
