Hi all. With the upcoming release of Armageddon I've been working furiously to develop a scratch-built version of the Nemesis. IMO the new miniatures are lacking inspiration so I thought I'd give this a try.
It's still a work in progress and although I have a ways to go, I thought I'd share what I have to date, and post progress as it becomes available. Click here to see the project from the very beginning. I'll continue to update both sites when progress is made.
Here is the design I've chosen to use as a proxy for the Nemesis:
This CGI version is called the Orion - which is what I'll christen the prototype ship in homage to the CGI. By the way the original art I'm using for this project was created over at http://foxfire.fatal.ru. Some great work there and a definite source of inspiration for future projects.
Here's what I have so far:
I'm at the point where I'll be adding the armored plating all around as well as the various turrets and guns. Nova cannons, small EA turrets, Warlock turrets and even some Poseidon turrets will be ordered shortly. Some more details have to be added, then it's on to priming and painting (my favorite part).
Any comments & criticisms are welcomed. If this project turns out good, I'd like to try a Marathon.
