Adepticon 2013 Blog Part 7 - Kraken Legs!

Lots of progress!  Tentacles finished and tentatively placed around the boat.  The largest one is chopped up to go on the bases of the Birdmen.

Birdmen - count as Pistoliers.

The team display is officially done with building, and paint will start soon! :)

Adepticon 2013 Blog Part 6 - Putty, Putty Everywhere

Lots of progress on the team display.  Putty work all over the place, filling in the gaps, dents and cuts on the sides and those will be sanded smooth later.  I added more buildings to the top and the start of some hills with canned foam.

The start of Kraken legs!

Some cannon work, and the windows of the ship - washers backed with clear plastic and rivets added.

Adepticon 2013 Blog Part 5 - All Planked Up and Nowhere To Go

Almost done assembling!  Needs a hole for the mizzenmast, some trim, rivets, windows, and other small details.

Adepticon 2013 Blog Part 4 - Planks on Deck

 Boat in a boat!

The planking is pretty slow and tedious, but definitely worth it!  This beast is almost 3 feet long.  The bases are now big solid rectangles, that while separate from the display will have to be sawed apart and kept in order later.

Adepticon 2013 Blog Part 3 - Adding Wood and Walls

Beginning the planking process.  The entire thing will be layed down with the groups of bases "solid" and will be sawed apart later.  A long time ago I did a test to see if I could do them individually and this is the only way to make it work and have them lock together tight when done.

Sea bride standard in progress.I wanted to do my own version of the regimental standard given in the command kit, but much larger and more like a sail.

Filling in the gaps, cavern walls, and adding the top diorama to the team display.

The canned foam dried faster than expected so I was able to add a lot of other details and then finally do a lot of putty work which took overnight to dry.  Starting to come together below, the top is still very rough.
