Lets Give it Some Weapons
Jun 11 2007 [Link]

Three more pictures are up - #12 through #14. These pictures show the early stages of weapon construction. The weapons are built from rather simple parts. I start with some Table Tennis balls, then cut them in half with my hobby knife. Each one of these half balls will become a standard weapons turret. In the last pictures, gun barrels of various lengths are attached to the turrets to represent different weapon systems. And yes, those gun barrels are made of straws.

If I have some time this weekend, I'll build some really large weapons.

Lets Talk Scale

I just posted a new image - Image #13 which shows the bottom half of the object next to the following figures. Therefore, this object belongs to one of the five games:

From Left to Right

1)A Defender Heavy Warjack from WARMACHINE
2)A Nova class Warship for Babylon 5
3)A Lizardmen Old Blood Hero Character from Warhammer Fantasy
4)A Broadside Battlesuit from Warhammer 40K
5)An Osiris Battlemech from Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction

These ones kind of look like the top half but smaller. At least it seems the bottom half is coming along quite well.

ith the Top half just about complete, lets get started on the bottom half with a few more Sytrofoam Pieces and then by sticking some wood rods into them?

Another close up seems to show where most of the foam core board pieces got stuck to.

And it appears in image seven that I have started to apply Duct Tape to the structure. (Duct Tape is probably the most useful invention ever.)

Second Set of Pictures (#3 - #5)

It looks like that green template has been put to use as several identical shapes have been cut from foam core board. But how are the pieces of foam core board aligned around the central shaft?
