Another little project to wet your appetite while I get the 'Pods' built/sculpted. I'm a massive 'Tread Head' and Titan fan. When the Vraks books came out I was essentially in my element. Titans, Tanks and Scorpions (Red) what more could I ask for 
Anyway after checking out the Malcador I decided there was NO-WAY I was going to pay the asking price for one. I own a 'considerable'
ammount of tanks, several 'Super-Heavies' included from plastic to resin, and thought to myself, 'You know what I reckon I could build one of those.....hmmm?'After a quick google, and a template later(Link may follow on Collaborator Approval) all I needed was some plasti-card, my bits box and a little faith in myself.
I have to admit, although I consider myself a fairly competent modeller, building something essentially from scratch was a pretty daunting task. However I figured if i could do this then I'd be well on the way to working my way onto some 'big' projects.
The template is a Dream to use. Very simple and spot on the mark. I helped myself by going onto the forge-world website and downloading all the picts of a Malcador I could get my hands on for the different angles etc and a better idea of what one looks like built up-close and personal.
So for the build I printed off 3 or 4 copies of the templates. The reason for this was so that I could essentially build one from paper/card to see how the thing actually came out. Also it would it allow me to modify it if i wanted to. This was definately a good idea, as I found out later on.
Anyway I'm not going to give a step by step WIP as the main tank is effectively built. However I have recently started a new 'Renegade' version for a mate ,and I've also been asked to make one up as a 'KIT' for someone else to build. Both really cool little projects that have come out of my own passion to build some thing for myself. So for these I will add in what picts I can. What I will do is answer any questions, give anyone who wants to try it themselves help and direction and most of all encourage Anyone to 'have a go'. I can't believe, although a little time consuming, how much fun and how cheap and easy it is to do. The plasti-card has cost less than £10 ($16 US) and I've used it to build pretty much 2 models!!
So here are the pics. Please remember any comments, good or bad, are welcome. But hey keep them constructive and in-keeping with the forum
ENJOY!!
