Hello!
For the past two years about this time I get the urge to take on an ambitious Epic scratch-build. ?Two years ago I made an Inquisition Drop Fortress, last year I made a Chaos Titan (which went on to be a winner in EpiComp
)...Well, this yera I'm taking on probably my most ambitious project yet. ?I'll be making a LARGE (for 6mm scale) Armoured building, which could represent a fortress or stronghold for most human armies in pretty much any 6mm sci-fi game. ?I'll be using it as a centre piece of a large, 9,500 point Iron Hands v Iron Warriors/Chaos Epic particpation game I'm running at the Launch Event of our wargaming facilities on September 15th. ?It'll be an Iron Hands Bastion on Medusa in this game. ?I've also made some modular defence lines, I'm designing this so that it will fit with those too.
So, I'll be using parts from many kits and ranges for this model - Necromunda Bulkheads that have been cut down, 40k Cities of Death parts, Platformer & Hexagon terrain parts; plus a good smattering of Epic, Exodus Wars and DRM bits - and maybe some BFG, too - to keep the finer details 6mm.
Here's where I am with it currently:
These are the long sides, central to this will be a slightly larger module, which will have two towers. ?The whole thing will be studded with defensive guns & missiles, plus a couple of larger Orbital Defence lasers.
These walls are made from 40k CoD balcony pieces (16 in total), and plasticard for the top. ?I'll be sticking Platformer terrain pieces on top to give them more detail. ?I've drilled some holes on top of some of the pillars where some of the defence weapons will go.
Today I'll start work on the centre structure. ?My apologies that I can't show you any concept art pictures... there are none: as usual, I am completely winging it, making it up out of my head as I go along
?so expect some potential changes in direction if/when things don't go as I'd hoped... 
?Thanks for looking, more pictures later!
