The wheels are now all done, all told approximately 200 pcs, so track plus wheels nears 500 parts alone. Circular parts are bit more of a pain to cut and glue, so it likely took as long, despite less pieces. Next is the paint touch-ups on both the wheels and the track and then the delicate assembly (in an effort not to dislodge the wheels while attaching the track).



Enjoy!
Sean

Your build is very impressive. I don't think you are impatient you need a lot of patience to cut all this little parts.

The repetition alone would drive me batty! Tirick, you're a zen-master! Great build!

Painted and mounted! Had a little trouble with the final section of track, the part I started assembling before I switched methods, but aside form that touchups on the tracks and tires (Chaos Black and Graveyard Earth) and the rims (Chaos Black and Catachan Green) went quite smoothly. A bit of extra water ensures the paint slips into the cracks nicely.

Now onto the turrets and greeble!



Enjoy!
Sean

Such complexity and detail is awesome to a newcomer such as I. It blows me away that anybody can have such patience. You should be very proud of your level of craftsmanship.

This is inspiring. And I'm cussing the dried out Magenta cartridge in my printer.

I was given a printer with an extra set of ink cartridges just before I bought a new system (complete with printer). Because I'm cheap, I wanted to use up the old one before I broke out the new one. It took about a year, so apparently my magenta is kaput until I get new ink.

Wow that's coming out great.

Mind if I ask, what weight paper you used, when he says thick/card stock and when it says paper on the PDO ?
