I haven't had too much time for painting and modelling for a while - hence no progress on the Blood Pact, but being a butterfly, I've gone back to working on some Orks - largely because I need to have this Gargant in playable form by the end of the month!
This is how I bought the Gargant on Ebay in December - made of cardboard tube and normal paper punch rivets. A great start but I thought I could improve it - you may disagree!

All the rivets were removed (it took ages) and the surface was re covered with styrene sheet (the arms are removable)

It's a Great Gargant so needs shoulder stations - observation platform is started
