looks good Adam

Whose You tube are you following?

How much of that metalwork are you going to have to cover?

It does look menacing though

Warhammer TV on YouTube has a bunch of tutorials and there is also an app you can download from Citadel that allows you to catalogue your paints (to keep track of them) and also has painting tutorials on it.

Quite a lot of the torso and legs get covered by armour panels, and there are also large armoured pauldrons over the shoulders.

At this point the progress is likely to slow, the panel painting is a bit fiddly. :?

I had a feeling it wasn't quite the same scale as the other 40k kits :lol:

Fantastic work, the washes really bring it to life 8-) Can't wait for the armour panels!

From the internet.....
The nominal scale of 40K is 28mm 'heroic'. If you convert this to proportional scale, GW infantry models are supposedly about 1/60 scale. (A six foot tall man measures five feet eight to the eyes.) Other manufacturers sometimes describe 28mm as 1/56 scale.

Warhammer 40K scale is confusing to me as well. I bought the Ork Mek thinking he would be as big as my Mega Boss and he is nowhere near as big. Makes painting him much more complicated.

Here's where I am at a week or two on from the last update;

Some areas are completely done, such as the shoulder mounted blasters, others are still WIP such as the Plasma Annihilator and the Power Claw. There is a lot of effort and time invested in each panel before it is attached, base coats, shades, touch up and then highlights. The skull/command module is finished, I've used AK clear paints for the lenses.

From a scale point of view, next to my 1/35th scale Tamiya tanker;

I love the look of this guy, he's pretty menacing! :o

I like it - looks properly menacing in a weird-only-halfway-serious-and-insanely-over-top-tone of everything WH but 40k especially :lol: .

Looks already awesome, can't wait to see the finished one! :mrgreen:

Oh, I dug up a scale thingy for 40k, thought it might interest people here - it's insane, but that's 40k for you :lol: =>

So much for scalability :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ...

The painting is amazing. The details and colors really make this thing stand out. I will keep my OD green or panzer gray paint schemes.

Every time I look I find some new details to enjoy. :D It's obviously an extremely well-made kit, besides the obvious benefit of being a humongous war machine :lol:

It has all these beautiful diesel-punk-filtered-through-baroque-style-with-early-modern/late medieval-gothic-plate-armour detail and nuts and bolts - ' just got to love them! :mrgreen:
