WIP - Nightwind Cadre (with added Manta)


Valaas

Recommended Posts

How is the tau'nar in terms of difficulty to build? Were there any surprising mold bubbling/weakness issues or anything, or was it pretty straightforward?

 

It's a pretty straight forward build compared to other titan models from forge world. The most difficult/nerve wracking bit is getting the 4 parts for each leg glued into position to ensure the stance you want and ensure the pelvis is level. Also some pinning done to strengthen the various leg joints.

 

It obviously has the usual FW fun and games.

 

Cheers,

Valaas

That is the knight pilot, though I think the Breacher's pistol shot is more of a mercy killing, as there is a metal spar impaling his chest. The Praetorian Guardsman is doing his best to not be noticed....

 

Onwards and upwards in more ways than one.....legs progressing well.

So we've written it T'aunar and Tau'unar in this thread already ... you guys know it's Ta'unar, right? :D


Love your base work, Valaas. Tho I hope you give the Ta'unar some proper battle damage as well. It was a LoW vs LoW scenario after all. ;)

Hey valaas, we need an update bro!

 

Cheers, Mithril

 

So an update.....

 

The Ta'unar :wink:, is progressing well, base done, gold on the legs highlighted and the two layers of Wazdakka have gone on, next up a few hours of edge highlighting (I'll take some pics tonight). I have also been prepping the next stage, the torso, filling gaps and magnetizing the arms. 

 

Hope to have the legs finished by the end of the week, so I can get cracking on the torso.

 

The other big project with my mate Rick is also showing some major progress.

Update on the T'aunar.....he's getting taller :yes:

 

Legs are pretty much done, just decals to add, which I'll do over the whole model at the end. Torso is a little further on than the picture, which shows the base coat, with the Wazdakka layers done.

 

2 Months to go until the deadline :eek:

Wow he looks finished, what am I missing?, admittedly I'm looking on my phone so...I may miss little things...!

 

Cheers, Mithril

 

Head needs edge highlighted, the smart missiles and burst cannons need to be added, I also want to do some OSL on the weapon arms and I need to paint the various lenses. After that just a few decals to finish the job!

 

Should get it done tonight baring any disasters......then I'll get some sleep before switching focus to my ETL stuff!!!!

 

Cheers,

Mike
