Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
I hope you all had a good time with your family and hopefully some time off work.
I had a wonderful time with my wife, family and the cats -despite catching a cold and lots of sniffing :-P
To finish the interior of the EREBUS I still had to build some seats - for this I used the seats from the HERMES as a sample.
When glued in place I made them look as if some of the seats were flipped up.
The finished interior
and slid into the tank.
It's actually a pity that hardly anything will be visible.
The final images with the ramp lowered down.
This will most likely be the way it will be positioned in the diorama.
Oh, and BTW, the first hull was not destroyed. It still exists.
I don't know what to do with it, but it's still here on my desk :)

Well, as mentioned I plan to do a diorama. And some of you may remember the PONOS from "Orkalypse Now" and that I always wanted to do a wheeled version of it.
So I ordered a set of Cougar Wheels by Voyager Model from Sockelshop.de
These are 1:35 and I think they fit the role for 40K perfectly
Here I drew a first sketch of the wheeled PONOS - the ALALA, Spirit of the War Cry
Since I was hoping to to have a visible interior I have to build a bit differently than normal
The basic frame was quickly built
For the interior i started with the drivers cabin.
The chairs for the driver and commander - I guess it's visible who will sit where ;)
A quick check with the wheels.
I think this will look pretty neat
A bit higher than the EREBUS tank.
In the meantime Luna did a quality check for the chairs.
The passed :D
Next I built another slide-in cabin for the passenger compartment
The two sections
Next I had to build 8 chairs
Small scale mass production ;)
With GreenStuff I sculpted the leather cushions
And everything in position
Maybe it is visible that there are storage compartments on the floor, as well as behind the seats.
The backrests fold down for access and also create a platform to access the roof hatches - as firing positions.
Here you can look through to the drivers dashboard
The drivers compartment
The interior sections (so far) in position
And finally I started to build up the exterior.
It already has the typical PONOS "face"
I hope you like the update.
Cheers
