well im starting contruction on a great gargant stats can be found on bell of lost souls

I wont be able to provide pictures since my camera is busted
but any suggestion but be great

I need to know if my sizing is correct so far its going to 16" tall with a shoulders are 14" apart
Im only going by the picture on the data sheet

i think im going to make it bigger but im measuring the picture and all that stuff to see if its big enough first
tell me how big you guys think it should be

There is a chart on the Gargants Owners site.

Gargants come in all sizes but it is also what weapon loadouts you give it.

I based my Great Gargant on my Reaver Titan to get the size. GW have messed up the scale of their Stompas,

Standard Gargants are now called Stompas (acording to GW, even tho that should only be 7" tall)

That Gargant looks "happy" to be having his picture taken.
LOL
Not sure if you knew, but "belly guns" are traditionally NOT mounted in the crotch region. LOL

Looks cool, though. Phallic... but cool.

Eric

well my now is set for 19" tall and is larger than the scale in the picture i have of the great gargant

the picture's great gargant is only about 11 space marines stacked

mines going to be as of now( though i could change it) about 150% of the size shown in the picture
though ill check the gargants owner site.

well i went to that site and mines between the great gargant and the mega gargant but i think im just going keep it the way it is though im not using the rules of that site it was still helpfull


o and ill try and see if i can borrow a camera so i can post pics

so this is what i got so far i got a camera now so check it out this first day of work

am i doing everything right how come no reply's except for magickal and f74

Ok I have a couple hints for you.

Its good as a start, but it needs more work before people will really start to "see" it.

Tape over all the cardboard edges lengthwise. Don't ever let us see a cardboard edge.

Your structure is there, but think about the scale of the creatures that built this. Make lots of small armour plates, not just a few big ones.

Good start.

im planning on putting some smaller plates once i cover it entirely in cardboard
heres what its supposed to look like

so ive pretty much covered it in cardboard now im going to now add more little chunks

You need to cover the card in Plasticard, Lots of it!

Cardboard is fine for mock ups but you need plasticard for strength. With gargants the more plasticard you apply the stronger the whole model becomes. Its even better if you use plastic glue rather than superglue as this "Welds" the card togeather.

Also if this gets wet.............arghh! all those hours wasted!

What weapons will this have?

thanks for the tip do you know wher i can find lots of plasticard

heres the weapon stats

it has 10 structure points and 7+d3 power fields

Yeah I know the stats these are from Bell of lost souls site.

As for Plasticard, where are you UK or US?

Its sold in the US as Styrene sheet.

Plasticard is sheets of a plastic called styrene. Any hobby shop should know what styrene is. Also any company that works with plastic (making signs or whatever) knows what styrene is. You can also buy styrene from ebay. Just search for "sheet styrene".

k thanks for the help,I'm in the US but I dont know how long its going to take to get some

think one of my boyz can have a ride?
