Space Marines Spartan

[JanMarciniak]

Hi Y'all. Long time no see.
It's been while since I made any paper/card model.
Few days back I've started Spartan. Finally it's gonna be addition to my Chaos Space Marines army.

Looking at that model in full size really brings out the excellent detail. This is where big pics rule!!

Hi Guys. I've finally found few hours for cardboard hobby

Hi Y'all. After months in hold Spartan is back on work bench... and if anything bad wount happend building process will be finished this weekend

Awesome. I don't know why more people don't use hinges like that for tracked vehicles. They come in quite a few sizes. The ones used for ailerons in R/C planes are a bit smaller, and less visible, and would work well for smaller scale vehicles, and also as hinges for doors, so they can open and close smoothly. Great job!

Body is completed. Time for lascannons... and painting It will be part of my Crimson Slaughter army so expect lot of chipping and rust

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

This is really coming together nicely!
I really like what all you are doing with it!

Are you using currency for the bogey wheels!! That is great!! It is quite beastly looking. Can't wait to see how it looks when painted.

Yeah. It took me a while to make this decision. I've used lowest value ones It was the cheapest proxy for wheels 1mm larger that original ones but they did the trick.

I think it was a great choice. Having been a machinist, Tool and DYe, and CNC programmer, I love the use of metal in model. I like multi media models a lot, and your model epitomizes building with greebling at it's best.

Quick peek Rust! Rust Baby!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

The rust paint looks really good!!!

 

[JanMarciniak]

Base color done, now tracks.

 

[JanMarciniak]

Almost there. Just few more steps.

 

[JanMarciniak]

Ladies & Gentleman it's finished
After long months model spend in closet I was very motivated to end it as fast as possible- quality suffered a bit but it was holding me down with other stuff I have to finish so... I hope You'll like it more than I do.

Great work. Thanks for sharing. The only things needed are the spiky things and impaled heads and body parts that are the trade mark of Chaos, but I am sure you have some of that stuff in your bitz bin. So what is next?
