I picked up an Imperial Knight today along with the rest of the GW community. The model is fantastic, but it is missing a cockpit. Since the hatch is removable, It seemed a shame to build it without adding interior detail. So after a quick raid of my bits box, and a few minutes with a dremel, I was ready to go. Using my Warhound titan as a reference, I added a command throne, sensors, pipes, hoses, and other random equipment. Not much can be seen through the opening, but it does look cool.
*Edit --I added some shots of the interior as seen through the hatch. It is easier to see in person than capture with the camera.
That didn't take long at all.I was just commenting,the hollow was the perfect size for a cockpit insert.Would love wip of the throne
ReplyDeleteAwesome work there, I might try to do something like it myself.
ReplyDeleteStunning, wish I had those skills lol
ReplyDeleteLooking awesome, just needs a pilot now! NC
ReplyDeleteNice work, I am slowly assembling mine I am glad to see someone working on custom work. Once again nice job.
ReplyDeleteWait, what? You're a madman! Genius!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, man! Really dig how that turned out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. I've only been up for an hour and am surprised to see so many.
ReplyDeleteI should ave taken WIP shots. This is the second attempt from last night. on my first attempt I used a dremmel to even out the interior and then covered it in sheets of thin plastic. I also used a spare seat from the old FW thunderbolt model. After that attempt I remembered I had a Titan seat that could serve as the focal point. I tore out all of the paneling and used the natural bumps to guide cables and provide support for the monitors.
HA! Classic work from you again. Take a nice kit and push it over the top. Stop it man, you're making us all look lazy and unimaginative ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is just insane. Send it to GW and show them how to make one of their own models :)
ReplyDeleteawesome
ReplyDeleteSeriously cool
ReplyDeleteOh man that's fantastic, loving the detail. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteCoolest thing I've seen in a long long time
ReplyDeleteSimply excellent!
ReplyDelete"I remembered I had a Titan seat..."
ReplyDeleteWho forgets leftover Titan parts? I want to have a bitzbox that deep someday :D
Awesome work! Provide time for these small details as it's really great.
ReplyDeleteBravo it's cool :)
This is fantastic! Mind if I re-post this on TDA? Also, where did you get that chair from? Fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteAdam, You are more than welcome to post this. Are you part of BoLS? The chair is the spare chair from the warhound titan kit.
Deletewow man! awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!! I am thinking of bashing together a stormtalon and knight for a front mounted cockpit look.
ReplyDeleteHow did you paint your screens
