LED lit Necron Night Shroud Bomber

Finished this up for client who requested a lit Pylon emerging from the ground. The Pylon has an oscillating light with slow strobe effect inside and glowing lit crystals. The Bomber exhaust is lit separately. Hope you all enjoy this custom piece.

All three in all their glory.

Warhound Titan, the repair of Ajax

Here I had a repair project from a customer.  My customer had taken his painted Warhound Titan to one of our local GW shops, and through some negligence, the model was left in the sun by the staff.  Unfortunately,  it warped, and some of the seams popped, making it frustrating for my client.  When I received the model it was in pieces,   and the legs look liked like it was tap dancing.  I wasn't smart enough to take pics of the legs before repair.   My client painted this model and assembled it originally, and he was/is quite proud of it.

First I took the side torsos and cleaned off the old glue, drilled holes and added pins.

repaired legs, reglued upper thigh armor, and test fitting the head

everything fits, so far......and added windows to the canopy

here the weapons are reversed, I magnetized the guns so that others could be added later.

here it is next to my Manufactorum

and behind it....(peekaboo)

adding Tau to the base

Run!!! Run!!!! it stepped on the flowers!!!

more flowers being killed

Fritz!  Fritz!! They shot Fritz!!

and a bit of fun while some glue was drying.  Ghazkhull is thinking, I trained 'dat boy well,  maybe too well,....

the whole shebang

Tau manta

Pinning for strength 

the opposite side 

almost together

a near dark picture of the lights

and absolute darkness, or as close as we could get.  I think these will work fine for running lights....

Manta Coockpit

 Drilling holes in the "Glass" to cut it out, here you can also see the wound the Overlord gave me to show her displeasure with me over the mass amount of resin toy taking up here favorite hiding place.

 The inside the cockpit.

 Windscreen removed. and will be replaced with a transparent one, so that the LED can shine through showing the Blacksun Filter

 Inside

and the side before I smoothed out the drill holes.  Fortunately the cast was thin enough that I could cut it with an exacto.

More Manta

 Here I have broken apart the Cockpit section from the Weapons Operators section to repair the dents that were caused by FW removing the model too quickly from the mold.  This also allows me to re-align the fit, as there was a ledge along the seem.

 This shot showcases how very unclean the break from the mold is.

 Here I've rejoined the two sections with JB weld epoxy(that stuff is awesome!!).

 Here I've allowed it to dry, and sanded the excess off.

 After putting JB weld kwik in the holes I've sanded the excess away.  This allows additional holding power and eliminates part of the gap in the seam.

and a close-up of the repaired dent, I will have to re-scribe some of the panel lines, but I figure I,ll have to do that anyway as some of them are very shallow.
