So its been seven months or so since my last post, but I've not been completely idle - not all the time anyway. I've kept poking away at the Mycenaean or at least thinking about it.
I feel I rambled a bit in the previous couple of posts so I'll be fairly brief here.
I've largely finished the outer hull structure. Still a few details left to tidy but I may be able to get that part painted some time fairly soon! I've also done most of the structural work for the actual assault tank/APC version of the tank, including all the hinges. A lot of detail work remains.
Rear quarter view showing side doors:
Rear upper armour plate:
Engine block detail (note the reactor access plate similar to an Imperial Knight):
Radiator/hatch and surface detail:
Armour plate atop the sponson (protecting a super high power searchlight):
Sponson detail (the weapon mount itself will have to be redone):
Upper assault compartment roof and prow hatches:
Prow showing the upper and lower prow hatches and multiple headlight arrays:
Open lower prow hatch (hatch armour is approximately 350mm thick - standard Land Raider armour is 95mm), also showing hydraulic rams:
Assault compartment headlights and ramp hinge:
Upper assault compartment roof hatch - open:
Upper assault compartment prow hatch/firing position - open (Marines can fire from this position in support of their disembarking brethren. Jump pack equipped marines can also launch directly from the upper deck):
Upper assault compartment floor detail (There is a lot of details left to add to this compartment):
All hatches open:
Scale/fit test (The seats are definitely small for a marine but broadly feasible. The Centurion does fit though - and he's a few millimetres taller than most):
Group shot of the three main components (the inner hull is held in place with magnets and the upper deck helps):
Upper assault deck and inner hull section side by side (The inner hull will be the base for at least one other variant, yet to be built):
