Queen Bee Knight -- Thank you! Please read the new post

[Grandmaster damion]

Jaw dropping I cannot adequately describe the sheer amazingness that is in those pictures.

 

Once again I salute what you have achieved

[dogfender]

thank you for posting the picture. Not sure if I will be using one for a count as psycannon.

 

Keep up the good work though, models are lookin slick.

[Subtle Discord]

*Swoon*

 

You could have taken certain of elements too far, but as others have said, you really did hit the right chord; over-the-top, but not too over-the-top. Perfect.

[That Guy Matt]

I've been following this since the beginning.  You've put an exceptional amount of work into this and its really paid off.  Well done.

[Daemon2027]

As others have said, and I think I've said before, the amount of work and attention is just amazing. Feel very proud of yourself buddy.

[JeffTibbetts]

Thanks again, everybody. I'm still working up some big final pictures. I might wait til I get my new phone in a couple weeks with any luck. Knowing me I'll get impatient and take the pics now and then just redo it later.

[JeffTibbetts]

Okay, it's time to move this fair lady from the WIP forum to the finished work forum. Check out her new digs in this post.

Thank you again, one and all, for your incredible showing of support for the last year and half. The Queen exists because of each and every supporter who has commented over the 37 pages of this WIP thread. You guys and gals are amazing in every sense of the word. 

[Fire Golem]

The end of an era. You should be really, really proud of this project. It's been really interesting watching it grow.

Thank you! And I am proud, but in a sort of humble way. I was just bumbling my way through most of it, trying new stuff out. Between that and all the feedback, it's almost like it isn't really my project anymore if you know what I mean. I think it turned out really well, but it's hard to take much credit for it I guess. I feel like I got lucky. :D

Yeah man, it was an awesome ride following this thread, seeing her being built, your communication and interaction with the commenters here, seeing your learning curve as you tried out and mastered techniques, and of course (last but most certainly not least) the end result. Be proud of her, and the fantastic contribution to this forum with this awesome, awesome thread. :tu: Thanks!

Thanks for helping me along! I love this community.

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Well done, sir. Well done.

[JeffTibbetts]

Well done, sir. Well done.

*tips hat

[Leviathus]

Hats off to you sir! It's good to see such wonderful project completed! :tu:

You know what? I finally realize what your avatar depicts: a half-concealed cup pouring molten steel in a T-shape. Wow. Took me 18 months. :D

Brilliant! Now you have to decide if it's molten metal or a paint pot.

And it's not so much concealed as lit from below in a dark room. \

That's way too fun.

[Atia]

we need her on that page too :P

really really really AWESOME work on your queen! i love her :)

[JeffTibbetts]

Haha. Thank you, Atia. I appreciate it. Maybe some day I'll be cool (rich) enough to work on a real Titan, like you. 

[Daemon2027]

I feel like crying that this over. This has been a superb journey.

So what's next?

[JeffTibbetts]

My Loricatus-armored Land Raider, mainly. I've got a good start on the interior and the armor plates are ready to rock. Just need to put some time into putting them on and then I can keep on painting. Trying to decide if/how much decoration and free handing I want to add to it before I start working on weathering it up.

You should put the link in here to your new project, so we can all come over & see how you are progressing

[Dragonlover]

Man, she looks incredible. This is now my mental gold standard for Knight plogs.

That's not a bad idea. I haven't updated it in a while, but here's the WIP post with the interior work. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304164-eagle-eyes-land-raider-finished-interior-sneak-peek/?p=3966230

Haha. I'm enjoying this... I knew it was obscure, but if the Queen didn't clue you in I have a thing for 'Ah-hah' moments so I guess it's all part of the plan. Mostly I just wanted something distinctive and visually interesting. I do a bit of logo design as a hobby so I played around with quite a few options.
