So I’ve been slowly chipping away at my Knight and now got the torso finished off.




I’ve also started try to use my light box again after a rather excellent post by Pete who really demonstrated what great quality photos you can get with them. Link: https://spprojectblog.wordpress.com/2022/01/17/my-new-lightbox/
Doing the torso also meant doing all of the “smaller” guns. The top ones on either shoulder are very traditional can style weapons. I’ve tried to add just a little darkening to the end of the barrels go show use rather than disrepair.


Between the cannons are some missiles, now I tried to male these look a bit more ancient as they are “shield breakers” which means the can pass throw force fields. Which is not common in the game so I wanted an old ancient lost tech sort of look.


Then finally there are the “arm pit guns” these are short range metal guns which do just that melt stuff. For a scale of size a man in this setting can hold a single one of these.

Really enjoying this project so far but still got some way to go! Onto the legs (and exhausts) next!
Quite a bit of progress! 🙂 Looks impressive so far!

Every time you update, you’re making excellent progress. I think you’ll have this done before you know it. Your willingness to tackle big models like this is impressive as well!

I do hope so! I used to really dread doing them I think I had a part done dragon on my desk part done for 2 plus years, then I painted a tree man and I loved it did in no time (for me) and that really sparked me to do more big stuff!

Nice! I love how you’ve used the wires, lights, etc to bring a dash of colour to the Knight without making it garish.
