This will be my second War Hammer vehicle build. I really enjoyed my modelling experience with the Scylla (thread elsewhere in this forum), so I thought I'd tackle another.
The Griffon is a self propelled mortar. The firing bed is open and, besides the cannon, the model also features a nicely detailed gunner's position with a stool and a control panel. As usual, I did a bit of a recolor using Photoshop - some mottled texturing with the sponge tool, and a bit of shading. I also redrew all the rivets for a more 3D look.
The first couple of photos are of the completed basic hull. I reinforced the hull bottom and the firing bed with thin corrugated cardboard. The layered hatches were prepared and glued in place before the hull was assembled.
I discovered a design flaw on the inside panel of the left hand track guide. As you can see in the first two photos, the front of the hull isn't symmetrical. But, as designed, the left hand inside panel is a mirror image of the right hand inside panel. This wouldn't do at all, so I redrew it to match the dimensions of the left hull side (picture 3). The original is on the left, corrected part on the right.
That's it for now, but more to follow soon.
