And now what the whole practicing was for.
In WH40k game terms, it is a Macharius Vulcan
#1 for a first impression regarding size.
#6 is a typical example for try & error. On previous photos, the top of the rear section was still there... which is cut off here because of a large measuring error.
You may notice a taint on the curved front-left. This stage shows the part after soaking with CA and prior to sanding. I have not found another way to produce a smooth curve without edges... but CA+sanding works really nice.
#7: <50% complete and you can see where the journey goes
#8: improved surface details on the turret
#9: final design for access hatches and fire point hatches on the rear.
Still a fairly long way to go, but 70% done.
Most of the surface structures done, next come tiny parts and the wheels and tracks. Oh what a joy... i really hate that part, but it is something i can do during never ending conference calls (without video...)
