Hi there... Cant live without SciFi stuff. So I got this Games Workshop beast on my bench besides the "Midori". The Imperial Knight is ca. 20 cm high and will get a scratched/kitbashed cockpit from... guess what! - the spare F-15. Futuristic. Highly detailed. And - if all goes well - illuminated!

Welcome all. Fitting the cockpit and the wires looked simple - but ended up a bit more fiddly than I thought. In the end, it worked out fine. from left to right: -wiring -frontal view (daylight) -rear view (daylight) -rear view (lights out - spot on! )  |

Many thanks! Legs with loads of Milliput - they definetely need some due to loads of gaps that need to be filled. :rant:  first placement on a tropical root:   2.... 1..... X-MAS!   |

The stock gun is a bit simple and low detailed - at least its barrel. Brass tube and a hand drill help here - greetings from Sysiphos.  |

Cool! Is that skull going to be part of the base? Me too! Is it real or resin? You're going to need a few vertebra and maybe a rib bone poking out someplace. |

Happy New Year all... Boots - Do them... Recently Ive seen a gallery entry with twelve (!!!) of them. Nothing wrong with a couple of them in your stash. www.phoxim.de/forum/index.php?topic=13827.msg221833#newBut they all lack of lighting and a cockpit. Anyways... the cannon is complete (except some black over the cables and rubber parts. Humbrol MetalCote colors and graphite powder help a lot here. The shoulder pads will be painted in the very same color like the Space Lord bust Ive done recently (= GW Warlock Purple).     |
