    Default Blackadders Warlord WIP

    Okay so here's the deal, I photo-shopped the image and made a static front view that prints out a model exactly 24 inches tall (On my printer using my editor's print graph I hasten to add). I'm satisfied that this is viable height for a Warlord towering almost 2.5 times the height of a Warhound.

    Now that I have the overall height I'll remove the armour and draw in the structural detail.

    BTW that's 24 inches to the lower margin of the image because we mustn't forget the foot pads.



    I calculate the center disk of the foot to be about 3.625 inches in diameter.

    States they are approx. 60 meters tall.

    I was building one back in the day and wikipedia stated they were 43 meters tall. Good luck on the size.

    Here comes the weekend and I'll be playing to an empty room. I did manage to cut out most of the basic components of both feet and hope to have them glued together this weekend. I used 2.0 mm for the tread base and the rest is 1.0 mm styrene. This beastie is going to consume a lot of plastic but the fabrication will be a lot easier as all the material will be the same so no problem with glue compatibility which is a big plus.

    I'll just add this on:

    The octagons are the center of the foot pads and are 2.0 mm thick and about 5.0 x 4.5 inches the larger boxes to the right are the front and back toes and the smaller boxes at the extreme left are the side toes. Both sets of these toes will be movable with hinges. The truncated toe pieces to the far right may or mayn't be movable as I haven't planned that far as yet but the disc will tilt side to side and the top surface will house a semicircular gear shape which will allow the entire foot to tilt forward and aft. This should afford a full range of motion to the feet. The semicircle will have a countersunk screw for the axis and a pal nut on the other side to provide the tension to maintain the various poses.

    Ambitious? yes;

    Possible? most probably,

    Crazy? almost certainly.

    Ah but if it works Priceless!

    Great work as always. This really is going to be a beast (as well it should!)

    Quite a bit better than the door stops I used to make the toes on my Warlord

    I finished all the basic toes and suspended my printout above the feet and Damn me it looks right. The Greaves still have the side frames armour to be added and once the body is bulked up I think you would want a good solid base to stand on.

    I know I'm gonna reap a lot of flack for ignoring the T'hawk but I'm on a roll with this project and will ride it for all it's worth.

    This new enthusiasm is refreshing as working on the T'hawk was becoming tedious but already I'm looking at it with fresh ideas

    The toes of Chrysagon coming along nicely an if I have to make the body a few inches taller so be it.
