Re: Real size UPDATE tarantula sentry gun project

[ltericwatts]

Some fun shots, taken during a visit by american friends , wearing stuff of the squad..the amazing regimental flag is not owned by me , its property of the guy handling the heavy bolter.






Plasma malfunction.....ruuuuuuuuuuuuun.........

I started a new elysian sniper team project end of the last year. Its not a standard elysian team in regimental use, its more than lonely behind operating kill and recon team.
Its not nailed to the codex, I use the newer A-tac camo, AND I use a similar camo on the armour, weapon and helmet(unusual at the most minis and artworks)
The weapons are heavy modified from the standard. The PDW lasrifles are shortened compact versions of the standard bullpub, I did the weapons without the lenght of the shocklight in front of the handle (around 10cm´s shorter) . The sniper rifle is a heavy version for long distances, bigger unusual optic etc..weight is around 10Kg´s.

Around X-mas, Is started with the helmet, I do a experiment seen on minis conversion, instead of the aventail I use a carrier for an binoculars in look of a night vision google. In reason that the most display things are in daylight I did´nt choose a real night vison google.






Currently the armour is in process....

Great stuff.

[ltericwatts]

Hi, here is my current project for the next half of the year...















Todays progress

[cheminhaler]

What are you making now, Lt Watts? A tarantula?

[ltericwatts]

Yeeeeeep..that hits the point ;-) Lascanon version, but with my own changes of details.

[cheminhaler]

The base itself is a great replica of the actual model.

[treadheadz]

Seriously - why you guys aren't invited to cosplay at official GW events, eludes me!!

So much win, such wow!!

[ltericwatts]

We were since 2006 part of GD germany in cologne, for some years, with massive displays and with a good relationship to the german HQ. But now is a other situation. GD germany is history(I´m very sad about this fact) Bringing this stuff to GB is to expensive and we had to pay that by ourself. I prefer to invest this money in more material for making more weapons and armour ;-)

[treadheadz]

I understand your side of it completely - Your work is truly amazing!

[AshotNINJA]

Seriously... come to england

[ltericwatts]

Not without the sponsored transport by with an C130, that size of cargo cability may be ok...;-)

[ElegaicRequiem]

You're good enough to build a replica C130. Fly that wherever you want.

Better yet, build a Valkyrie.

[ltericwatts]

lol....hmmm..I prefer building warmachines with contact to the ground, its only less distance I could crash down if I had done some mistakes during construction ;-)

But....I had thought about a display section of a valk, but its to huge..no chance...

[ltericwatts]

Happy new year to all around...

Lascannon barrels and carriers are nearly done...around 12kg each

[treadheadz]

You sir, are one crazy mofo!

Keep it up!!

[Kassill]

Spectacular as always good sir!

[jenburdoo]

Some really amazing stuff ... all you need now is a working gravchute.

[ltericwatts]

treadheadz: Thanks, but Mofo? What in the hell is a mofo?

Thanks Kassill, hopefully the weather change more the waterless conditions, then I´ll continue ;-)

jenburdoo:
I had some technical problems to get them working ....currently I prefer a good old parachute.

[ltericwatts]

improvised test for getting an idea about the level of fixing the cannons..
