That works. Though that isn't that difficult a task. Do you want me to set up the png's in Hoard format? If you have an urge to do it, be my guest. Otherwise I'll do before I start modding. |

Did we ever figure out the scale on the tank? It's not important, per se, but it is bugging the heck out of me.

The hull is 4 1/2 inches long, if that helps

The hull is 4 1/2 inches long, if that helps That makes it 1/58, which is close enough to 1/56 tbat it's not worth worrying about. I already saved a Capri-Sun straw to use as the gun barrel  EDIT: the way the treads extend past the hull on the rear end probably puts it bang on 1/56 !!!! |

Well, just need to do the console and a couple figures to complete the Transporter Room.
Before moving on to the figures and counters, I need to work on the Type 94. It's going to take me a while to get everything built here, and I don't want to drop the ball on the Type 94.

The Type 94 will wait a week if it needs to I really appreciate the work you are putting into both that and the Hoard. |

Looks pretty good, but I learned some things in the build, only that can wait until after the photos   As I was building, I realized the tabs only need to be on the inner walls, not the exterior. Doubled tabs are awkward. Also, when gluing down the exterior walls, it becomes difficult when using pva to not have warpage on the long walls. I couldn't set large enough weight on the final wall to keep it straight. When you build it, you might move the tabs from the short wall to that end of the long walls. The short wall would be less likely to have the curve. But doesn't it look great? |

Does the end (short) wall come off for photo ops?

Those bugs are outstanding and I can't believe how good the green hopper came out! I'm having Planet P flashbacks! OMG! This place crawls. Someone get on the horn to fleet and get us off this rock and then tell them to glass this sandbox. Wow! A transporter room! Awesome! It looks great, shep. Thanks... |

Does the end (short) wall come off for photo ops? In my instructions, I put it in a way, so you can open up the room at the lower right corner (when looking a long the room towards the transporter platform). This way, you could simply open up the short wall (quite like a door opening out and to the left) and shoot som pics along the room with the console and transporter chief right in front of the cam and the platform in the background... Opening the room is originally intended for fold-flat (more or less) storage. |

However, I also used a glue stick for the walls and floor. The only thing I used liquid glue for was the console... |

... I also used a glue stick for the walls and floor. The only thing I used liquid glue for was the console... After seeing this I paused for a moment. By everything I have seen until now, glue stick is the liquid glue. I managed to find this on the internet.  I turns out that in some parts of the world, glue stick represents sticky lipstick, that is, a solid mass that is packaged in a cylinder, and you get it out by twisting the thing, and use it for gluing things. Where I live, a glue stick is a liquid glue, just packaged in a tall, thin bottle, so the only difference between the glue stick and liquid (bottle) glue is in the packaging, that is, in the shape of the bottle. Modelers beware when buying glue sticks, depending on where you live, you might buy different items. |

Halftime Starting to work on the mod, I (only now) noticed that the images are twins. Krampus must have mixed his fingers in. |

Modelers beware when buying glue sticks, depending on where you live, you might buy different items. Well, I don't know where you're from, but in my part of the world (Germany) glue works like in that little chart of yours. For working with paper, there are basically 4 kinds of glue: 1) liquid glue in a bottle (like for example the famous UHU) 2) crafting glue (German: Bastelkleber), which is a semi-liquid white glue, basically a dilluted form of PVA, so you could easily use regular PVA instead 3) glue sticks (German: Klebestift ( = glue pen )), which are the lipstick type glues from your chart and 4) superglue (German: Sekundenkleber ( = seconds glue, because it sets within seconds)), which can be used for paper, but usually stains and extremely stiffens it There are of course many more variations of glue, and lately, I have more than once used another form of glue stick ( www.plus-europe.com/fileadmin/_processed_/f/4/csm_anwendung_kleberoller_ST_Norinos09_stckt_2_K_05ecb67f2b.png) which is called a glue roller ( www.plus-europe.com/en/products/gluing/norino/). |

I couldn't get my glue stick to even work well on the figures, so I didn't try on the wall.
I used Canon Matte Photo paper, 170 gsm.
This could easily be fold flat. Had I made an extra piece to sandwich between the two layers, it would have had extra rigidity, and been able to dry overnight under weights. This little bad boy is going to be given to a trek friend of mine. If I do another, I will definitely go fold-flat
I wonder if the issue with the glue stick was that I used photo paper. I hadn't had problems when I used regular cardstock in the past

It's the third now. So I think I'm closing out this Hoard. Remember, anything can be submitted for other Hoards. The theme of each Hoard is to spark ideas, not a set-in-stone topic for submissions

I haven't finished the mods, weather changes gave me headaches, and with turning of of f.lux for proper colors during modding, the headaches multiplied. Thus the mods will have to wait for some other hoard.

Here they are. I reduced the planned scale of changes, since I am keeping you all waiting for so long. Thank you all for the patience. I also fixed the original pdf, it turns out the gobbos were a bit smaller than they should have been (nothing noticeable, just a few percent less). Now you all have Assyrian gobbos, and the regular greenskin gobbos to party with. Look good, but this hoard is closed, probably posting in the next 24 hours. You can add them to another hoard, post in creyates' thread, create a new thread or just leave them here for people to use. Totally up to you |
