Hi. I'm asking here before doing so in the relevant lists, because you guys are more geared towards what i have in mind.
I'm not that experienced when it comes to paper models (i'd say intermediate level skills, haven't done really complicated papercrafts). But i've got an itch for quite a while to make a WH40K Baneblade. For the unfamiliar, the mentioned tank here in this clip from the PC game Dawn of War: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5n9BiV6Yg8 and it's Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicles_of_the_Imperial_Guard_(Warhammer_40,000)#Baneblade And now i got reminded of this huge model of the same tank: http://www.mark-1-tank.co.uk/games-workshop-baneblade.html ...and the itch grew again. I mean, with that mobile fortress how can you resist? :) I'm subscribed to bwc1 and 2, have seen the two baneblade templates they have, and i suspect they're created with experienced miniature modellers in mind. The templates seem to be for constructing things out of plasticard and with posterior paintjobs, using the blueprints as a reference. I haven't seen any created with a papermodeller in mind ("Print this file, carefully apply scissors and glue, you're done!"). I'm not planning of using any in a wargaming competition (and as far as i know there's none in this country, at least not in this city), but i just want a cool-looking tank, and it's rather difficult that one finds a cooler tank than the Baneblade (11 barrels, the size of a house, created to fight monsters and supersoldiers that can literally crush other tanks with their hands, and so on). Have you guys seen such model of this tank? If not, What's the best way for a not-too-skilled papermodeller to tackle one of these templates? I didn't ask on the BWC groups right away because they seem to consider those templates "easy". I'd probably consider them easy too if i were used to sculpt and paint tiny plastic models for wargames that earn awards (or huge, have you seen their scratch-built titans?), but the most complicated model i've made is Yotsuba (not really complicated, rather boxy in fact). I'd rather ask here first, where you guys tackle both Howl's castle and the cubees and my request will seem reasonable. :P -- Those unforgettable memories for them I live Omoikane, Martian Successor Nadesico --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
