Tau Manta, or building number 50

[Warhamster77]

Here is my wip on a clients Tau Manta. It is as much a labor of love, as it is a commission...http://40kpainting4hire.blogspot.com/ sorry about the link, it won't let me load any of the pics on here :(

My viagra super active (http://viagrasuper-active.com/) arrived yesterday. It is a magic! I had an unforgettable night. I am lucky that I ordered a big package of it.
Erectile Dysfunction such as cialis super active (http://super-cialis.com/), you should feel very fine!

It's not really fair calling something like that a mini ;) Isn't it 5 foot across or something?

Seriously, though, it's an awesome model and I hope you have it finished (with photos here) soon!

Well unfortunatly, I don't get to work on it as often as I like, there are other commissions on the table before it, But I do try to spend an hour a day on it. The client just wants it by next march. It is 3' wide, 2' long and weighs 28 pounds empty. It is going to require some heavy pinning, and JB Weld to hold certain parts together, as well as being lit. My original estimate on LEDs was roughly 30, that is being revised due to solidity of the model, as well as trying to figure out where the Frel to put them all :-)

I can hardly believe someone bought a Manta. The idea of working on something like that... It's just boggling. Those pictures really show off the incredible vastness of the thing. I think I will book mark your site and check it from time to time.

It's almost surreal to look at...

Wow, that is truly an amazing project. The idea of a Manta is cool, but where do you keep that thing!?

[Warhamster77]

Currently it is on three separate areas, a standard dining table 3'x6', a 4'x8' gaming table, and the parts I'm not working on in a tubby( storage tub bought at wALLY-WORLD) soaking in a Simple Green Bath. Each section will get lots of love when it comes to the modelling. The interior will be painted first, and then masked off to paint the exterior.

sanding, and sanding..... always wear a mask when sanding resin models, it will keep you from blowing black boogers, or getting cancer in California...

Number 50? So I guess they've sold 2 in the past 3 years...

honestly I don't know, my client has had this model for 9-12 months I think, and they are cast to order soooooo..... I believe there are three counting this one in Texas.
