I find posting photos hard as I have to fight the wife for the laptop .
Posting a start time and finish time with progress pictures would be ideal.
I believe the trust system we have in place is a good one .I think as Host tar said you only cheat yourself. If you are so eager to fudge the PPs then it would be easier to do it during the painting vows.
And to be fair if most if not all the hobby tunnels patrons are here because we want to paint and showcase our
work with like minded rats .The rewards that are awarded as points and banners and a very welcome bonus but the true reward is in doing a nice model.

One of the main ideas behind people taking progress pictures, was that it would serve to inspire others.
Be they those watching the challenges, or indeed those taking part. Images of people getting work done (and within a timeframe) will hopefully inspire the idle to take up tools and those already challenging, to compete with their fellow challengee's to achieve more.

Talking of photo's, here is one of my progress so far;

Ok, logging on now for a bit. Not sure how long, all depends on the missus!
Back to making some more Dire Wolves. Just two to go and then the unit is done. :)

Double doomwheel sounds like a winner RB.

Ratt Baron, if you haven't glued the Doomwheel together yet fully, my advice is to leave it in sub-assemblies and paint those before assembling the model completely. Once the whole model is fully assembled and glued, it becomes extremely difficult to paint the driver and the other interior parts. Actually, this is true of all the large Skaven models: they're all painted much more easily when they're in sub-assemblies than when they've been glued together completely and fastened to their bases.

Good advice my old friend . As I have learnt the hard way you are totally correct .I am hoping to paint it as the 2 wheels and the main body assembly first then add the rest later . Also with the cannons i intend to assemble the 3 main bodies and blue tac them together to get the best looking tri cannon possible . It should be good fun
Logging onat 1.30 pm hopong for a good few hours today
logging off at 5.30 pm I have assembled the main body parts,cannons and frame and doom wheels

I cant decide which way to go with the cannons -mounted in between the doom wheels or have the doomwheels closer together and having them on top.

they are just blue tac ed at the moment and prone to total collapse at any time !!

Holy crap, thats awesome RB. :o

As for myself, as soon as I picked up my hobby knife, my wife interjected, by wrecking the TV freeview box.
I immediately had to try and fix it for her, whilst she swanned off to watch Eastenders in another room.
After an hour and a bit of swearing and button pressing, I got it back working. I ended up so annoyed, that I headed off down the pub and got drunk.

The upshot is, I got nothing done and today I have an awful hangover! <_<

My advice to people who want to get things done.................don't get married!

This is going to be a really crazy Warp Lighting Cannon, built with impeccable Skaven logic. For me, that's the thing: there's logic behind it. The large Doomwheel wheels should add stability and mobility, making for safer turns. It's not just converted to look different, but to make a better war machine. I am extremely impressed, Ratt Baron: whichever way you go, this looks like it's going to be a truly awesome conversion!

The way I am feeling right now, I would strongly disagree!
Hangovers are not fun.

Hey scarfester I've looked in the top left of the photos and guess what's there your nemesis , :D yum yum
Logging on at 530 pm primer and first coats on the gun carriage and cannons
Thats it for tonight 9pm.Not too bad ,I got to where I wanted to be .The Warp cannons are undercoated and the first coats are on the wooden bits and warpstone.The carriage for the cannons is also undercoated and the wood and metals have had their first coats . I`ve also mocked up the rough position of how it will sit in it.

Remember, I said that we were being flexible, so you're allowed up to a full two weeks up until the end of the competition, which will happen tomorrow evening. So if you have the time, get back to work: it will still count!

It must seem wierd only getting 1 V.V.P.s ,but as I haven`t completed any assembly or painting I can`t add them ,so its only 1 point for basing a single model in week 1.
