Shelf Queen: ATHENA Steampunk Airship

Definitely liking where you've taken this

THANKS!!

wow, almost there

Amazing feeling to see this project on it's final stretch.
So here's the ATHENA reception party.

Unfortunately the Praetorian from Lord Gordon's 20th Praetorians has to wear Dencara Blues, as I have lost the color scheme.

Also I rearranged my hobby room to give the ATHENA a new home.

She now sits on a separate shelf about 150cm long and 60cm wide, with the landscape canvas as background and it is at standard desk height (90cm I think) so you can look at it from top without problems.

It is also furthest away from the windows, so it won't be bombarded by UV any more - the plastic card is already old and pretty brittle.


I pinned the characters in their final position.

And this is the final batch of figures to paint.

I did some minor changes last night.
The "painters" received paint tanks and connecting hoses, and received orange coveralls - they are on disciplinary detail after all.

I hope I can wrap it all up over the weekend

Cheers

Klaus

THANK YOU!
I still owe you some final images

Another scale shot of the Eisenkerns with the WH40K troopers and the TTGG officer.

Finally done with painting, I cleaned the desk.
And set up everything for the images - the ATHENA is really huge

Excellent work on this, Klaus.
This thing is frigging HUGE, but the scale definitely works
