ive been asked to start a blog, i've never done anything like this before in my life.

i would love any tips on any part of my models, but please understand i have never played 40k, and i know im not a good painter.

this is one of many scratch built vehicles i have, every thing is made from plastic card apart from the tracks and wheels,

























For Thor665 -there is a hole in the model where the fuel tank is and the back of the rockets are, thats where i put a bar to attach the wings, i use plastic tubes, but if i was going to do it again, then i would of used brass, place a large one in the hole, so that a smaller one can slide into it, make it a snug fit, this all so help with painting, you can still remove the wings, once painted, then glue in place.

also another tip, i love DeffKopptas as a model with loads of conversion aspect's, the model it self is well bad, so when i use one, i try to use all the bit that i take off it, as my bit box is not very big. when you come to make the rotor blades, trim off the ends, so it does look like it will lands and not F**k up the blades on landing, coz there are loads of models out there that look awful and a small touch like that makes all the difference.









This Looted wagon is one of my fav's, i love the Iraq Style Bar Armour, all made from plastic card, it touch some time making, but i think looks the bizz, the twin DakkaDakka's on top and ment to be Heavy, like the heavy bolter that comes with the model, this was made from scratch to. love it.

Fantastic stuff love it!

Thats some really ncie stuff you got there! I've seen the battlewagon in the gallery earlier and was amazed then: the rest of the stuff is just sugar

I'm a huge fan of making the deffcopta into a prop plane as I've toyed with trying to do a biplane before - any advice with how you did your build of it? What worked well, what didn't?

Some fantastic stuff in here. I really like your landship/battlewagon.

Thor665, you answer is on my blog, feel free to ask more, i'm here to help

here's another Looted Wagon/Tank hahaha

A truly orky vehicle

i wanted to make a tank, but had no wheels or tracks left and GW has stopped making them, so i went with a looted style vehicle and made it from a rhino, i thought it went well, there are some things i might chance next time i make this, we will have to see.

Who told you your not a good painter? Your an excellent painter/ designer/ scratch builder/ Converter/ Genius Big Mek

Thanks Optio

Amazing work!

"Im not a good painter"...

Riiiigggghhhhttttt.....
Excellent work

Wow. This is truly some of the most amazing, inspirational scratch built stuff I have ever seen. And that should mean a lot, because like any inspiration-hungry mek out there I have spent hours scouring the internetz for scratchbuilds...

I am definitely subbed for more. Your painting is fantastic too. And, I really like your homemade big shootas- would you consider selling some?

i made this yesterday and today, just need to paint it now. some times i think why hasn't GW upgraded the Buggy they do, but when i make stuff like this, i think can they do better ?

Absolutely brilliant builds all around.

I'm going to say it, you are the best ork painter\builder in the game. All hail Wazzoo 2000!!!

...Of course it just my opinion, but if anyone else comes close post it.

thanks for all the nice come backs guys, my head is super big now hahaha

here is my Zapper, i copyed this from a model i saw on here, hope you like. i still need to finish this off, the driver and gunner need painting and the hole thing needs touching up.

Now look at that! I browse the blog page, find an intersting title, go there...... and find these awesome conversions i have already seen in the gallery a few days before. Looking at the creators' profile page a few days ago, I discovered that he has not yet started a blog. I pm him and tell him to start one, but then i forget about it because im visiting denmark with my family.
Now i get bored, start dakka, and find this blog! what a coincidence!

Really awesome models here, im sure gonna copy some of these ideas!

I LOVE that looted Russ. Although in the truest sense you can never have enough, but I believe it's Dakka is... adequate.

hahaha thanks mate, i did take your advice and start one, i forgot to PM you and tell you, but hay, your here now, and feel free to copy away, just make sure you show me your results.

here is my Jet fighter, the launcher is magnetised and fits on a GW truck, i will post when i stick the wheels back on it and paint it.

Everything I have seen is pure gold!

Looking at my recent attempt at scartch building and painting though, I've come to the medical conclusion that your almost annoyingly modest!
Mind, better that than the otherway round

Wow some flippin' amazing things in the blog. Honestly I don't think i've seen many conversion better done.

I'm always on the hunt for converting materials and the like. Could you let me know where you get your textured plasti-card from? Please

i get ALL my plastic card and plastic tubs from my local model train shop in York, but i've also got some from a Flying model shop in Leeds, i dont like buying it Online, as i like to see the stuff befor i buy it, like some of the card, the really thin stuff to the thick stuff, i like to see what i'm working with.

just google "model shops in ......................." (you Local town) and i bet you get about 4 or 5 you had no clue were there, then ring them and ask if they sell it, then bob's your uncle, your working with plastic card you wanted all along.

I actually do have an uncle named Bob. Funny how that works.

Anyway, sheesh, you leave wazzoo for a few hours and here he goes and posts a bunch more finished masterpieces....

Awesome work.

My only question is, are you casting those trukk wheels yourself or getting them from someone?

Cause I wants cheap trukk wheels.

So much converted orky awesoness. I especially love those aircrafts

too Matphat - the GW ork truck is a very good kit, loads of stuff on it to use in conversion and scratch building, so i there for do not encourage anyone yo copy GW stuff, as they get very funny about it, yeh you can buy them on ebay, but for the price they sell them for its not worth it.

i got a casting and moulding kit on Monday, just to give it a try, lets put it this way, eBay no longer has my business when it come to wheels, but ill always get my Deffkopta's from there, rule of thumb is never pay more than £3.50 inc postage for them and ill never run out of wheels again.

Absolute beautyful and perfect models! The painted ones are looking better than the original forge world stuff.

Really good scratchbuilds, Do you generally have a plan before you start because it looks like you do a lot of pre-measuring and cutting of the plasticard before assembling the basic framework for your designs, Very rarely see so much precision in orky builds.

i never plan anything, i see some thing i build it, i like some thing i built it. its all in my head, i can sort of see the finished model in my head and then that's my goals, some times i base my models on real vehicles, so that makes it easy for me to make them, but other than that, its all in my head.

God, I am so impressed with people who are good with plasticard, especially people who are insanely good with plasticard.

On top of that, you're a fantastic painter. I don't know if I've ever come across someone who was both so fantastic at painting AND scratchbuilding at the same time.

You, sir, have reached 40k hobbying enlightenment, and should be justly envied for it.

thanks again,

here is what every Ork Army should had, when this first came out, i wait a life time before i got one, but i always new i would end up with one and converting it, its not finished again, i hate the base, so i will be changing that when i can be bothered. the big gun is scratch built.

The Zzzzap gun is my favorite sofar

the Zapper is good, but I bet I can change your mind when i finish off my Airship Muhahahaha

Thats the orky spirit! Get a flash of inspiration and let the plasticard fly! My motto is "boundless enthusiasm can always overcome a complete lack of planning and forethought"

this Blog is totally awesome!

Subscribed!

Man everything youve done is amazing. From the builds to the painting to the whole imagination of them all.

Did have a temptation to buy some plasti card but i know id just mangle it

wow, that deff knight is awesome!

copying the idea!

This is some absolutely amazing stuff! Cant wait to see more! Exalted and subbed!

Thanks Wazz, I was suspecting those were "custom"

I've been considering the same thing myself, but hadn't made the plunge yet.

So, my real question, as a fellow converter (see my biker boss and buggies in the gallery) is, where is your WIP blog?
Linkie?

Your plasticard skills are OTT Mate.
Fell in love with the orkiness of this thread!
Sub and waiting for more.

I believe that fits the discription of a Big Mek in the Ork Codex near word for word

Thats great looking stuff there, keep it up

Every Army needs Grot Tanks, and some scratch built one's always bring home the bacon hahaha.














hope you all like.

wow wows, amazing stuff! I like it all!!!

Awesomness overload! these grot anks are fantastic!

here, have another exalt!

I find it amazing what you are able to do with the deffcopter kit.

P.S. I LOVE the giant ork thingamawahchit!

Now, if we could just get you to do some better lighting and white balance in your pics, we'd have full on Ork Kustoms Porn here.

YES! I thought the exact same thing.

Wazzoo, like others have said, amazing work here.

I did an early Looted Dreadknight, and found that the AoBR warboss fit so perfectly it was like they were meant to be... I was very amused and happy to see you used the same warboss, same configuration, along with the same "remote controller" idea! Overall, I think you ended up with a much more impressive final product.

I <3 your buggies most of all, though.

Archangelse_uk

Did have a temptation to buy some plasti card but i know id just mangle it

all ill say is, start off small, get ya self some Deffkoppta's off eBay (dont pay more than £3.50 each for them inc postage) buys some plastic tubs, and go crazy, START small, make a buggy, copy my stuff, have a play.

sorry to say, but that's the best your going to get out of me for the moment, i should make a phone light box, but to be honest, i like the phone's, but i also can see what your on about.

Your conversions are amazing!

I bless those who told you to start a P&M Blog!
It brings back my inspiration and motivation to work on ork buildings again.

Great job, no need to say I want to see more of it!

if there is such a thing as Ork snipers, then here they are, i saw some one make a gun on here, so sorry i copied it. i need to finish off the paint job on them, but rushed to get them on here before i went out haha.

Very cool stuff here. I must say, you gave me some ideas, indeed...

I've gotta say that I'm totally blown away by you imagination, designs, scratch building and painting skills. You are truly an inspiration for Ork conversions. Could you elaborate on how you do your mud debris painting on the tanks?

Some amazing work in here. Love your plasticard skill!

From Brainscan

Could you elaborate on how you do your mud debris painting on the tanks?

yeh, before painting, PVA glue on the area, dont go mad, GW sand, pinch and sprinkle on the area, let dry, paint over it with some PVA glue and let dry again, then undercoat, once you've done your 3 mud paints, dont forget to dev mud wash it.

The troop transport is quite amazing( ork standards i guess)

this is one that will be done soon, s a work in Progress i guess, i would love to say its my airship, but its rocket powered and looks nothing like a rocket ship, any names you can think of please add here hahahaha

Well holy crap. My mind just got blown. Got anything in comparison?

Ork Snipers? What kind of preposterous models are those? Whats next? Ork Ballerinas?

Wait... scratch that. We need Ork snipers in Tutus. That would be amazing.

the snipas are amaring.

But knowing orks, they'll propably rush headlong at the enemy and bash heads with their rifles

This thread is full of inspiration and Ideas! I finally have an idea on what to do with that drawer of plasticard. keep it up man, you should be designing Ork models for GW!

Awesome stuff!

Amazing stuff. What guns did you use for the snipers? (or did I missunderstand; are they scratchbuilds?)

The ship is 'The Fist of Gork'!

In yor face 'ummies!

Uh-huh, yep. Just the usual awesomeness around here.

I think you should call it 'da floaty-shooty fing'

Outstanding work mate. I always love to see great Ork conversions, they allow for so much artist's personality to come through, and as Ork tech are usually goofy in nature, they make me smile too.

Hehe. I was thinking of buying a stompa kit, to build a stompa. Now I'm rethinking that purchase.... I need to buy a stompa kit to build an airship!!

Or just not buy a stompa kit. This decision will take much deliberation, as that floating monstrosity has taken hold of my inner mek...

Well holy crap. My mind just got blown. Got anything in comparison?

i put a Rhino in the phone for you, this model is still un-finished.

there the normal guns that you get with the orks, just played around with them, just tock a look at thing that looked like they could be sights, added some plastic tubs, and bingo.

i wonder how many people are going to buy a stompa and turn its into the floaty-shoootaah-thing? Its really impressive. This thread delivers! Keep up the great work buddy!

I just wet myself from excitement.
Lovely stuff.

Are you posting pics as you build them, or are these just before-after pics from past projects?

I know most of us dream of working this fast.....

Lots of awesome here! Some questions/thoughts:
1) How long have you been at this?
2) How long do these monsters take you to create? Paint?
3) What I would love to see in the future is in progress shots of the build.
4) A tutorial or just step by step in progress of some of those twin linked big shootas (well, and everything else, but gotta start somewhere) would be good too!

Keep it up!

Yes! I second the request for tutorials! I envy your gun-making skills. Show us how!

I put myself in the line for the tuts...please

ok, i will do a step by step for the twin linked hev DakkaDakka, might take me a couple of days if im stocked up on my tubs, if not will get some more on monday and do it then.

1. i'm 39, and been modelling since i was 14, ive only been converting since 2004.
2. most stuff take 2 or 3 days to a week of 2 to make, painting takes about 3 days. ( thats all on and off and when i get chance)
3. my next model will be dont with progress shots, that should keep you all happy.
4. see top hahaha

Im also demanding tutorials!

Might you be persuaded to share some advice on my p&m-advice thread?

Link: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/416755.page

Expanding on 2 -
2.1) Is that actual or elapsed time? Ie how many hours per day average?
2.2) Also, some perspective from your answer to 1 - how long was it taking you back in 2004? If it was slower, how long ago did you start modelling at your current rate?

Apologies for the 20 questions - curious minds need to know!

Looking forward to the tutorial and progress shots - I'm sure they will be very enlightening (appreciated *almost* went without saying )

here you go, started painting it yesterday and finished it off to day while watching Game of thrones, hope you like.

ill try answer all your questions as i get to them haha

FETH! This trukk is great. Its so complex!

why dont you ring up GW and ask them if they need a new vehicle designer?

MrMerlin wrote:

And then they can make you 'eavy metal too, and cut expenses by giving you both jobs! That is a beautiful trukk...

.....

Just found this thread and it is amazing stuff and my new inspiration (basically I will steal al your ideas lol) but really amazing work love your concepts and the amount of designs you have got out of those deff koptas is amazing great stuff and its all Orks

Scratch built Heavy DakkDakka's

Ok the first this we do it chuck away GW glue and go to a good model shop and buy some liquid glue that you can brush on or it squirt from a needle.

next are your tools, that pic below is mine, i use metal rules too, a big and small one, all so a girls nail file, best thing ever and also some sand paper, fine is good.

the next things you'll need are plastic tubs, buy them online if you know the size or go to a good model shop and buy with your eye's, you need to buy 4 different sizes, they should all slide in to one another, you will see in this tut as we go on, make your on minds up, im not here to wipe your ass.

cut to size, remember your making gun barrels, so if your making small dakkadakka's then cut them small, how ever we are making the big mothers.

draw a line down the centre, the is just a guide for when we drill the holes, we start drilling in the centre on the line and work out.



i use my GW knife to make the holes bigger, i just stick it in and twist, it all so make them look a bit uneven and ork like.


put some glue on the inside tube, this wont need loads, then side them together, twist as you do so so the glue gets everywhere.

now we are going to cut some rings from the 4th side up plastic tube, this will help with the look of the gun barrel, you can use very fine plastic card and cut into strips and rap it round till you have the right side. i have done this in the past on bigger guns.



next we are going to make the bodys of the gun, this is make from just normal plastic card, the thicker you have will determine how many you need, as you can see, i only need 2 bits to start with

i'm starting now to cut up other bits of card to build up the look of the gun, i some times us GW DakkaDakka's and copy a small bit of what they do.



this part of the gun (below) is the empty case ejection hole, again build it up with plastic card, don't work if it looks all over the place, its Orky.


now stick the barrels to the body of the gun, to keep the gun looking straight, the nail file comes in handy and all so twist the barrel round, some times this helps, do this as your (NONE GW) glue drys

making the ammo boxes is easy, we can all make a box, if you can't, then dont read on, and go play with doll's.......OK !!!
you can see ive also made some bits to stick them to the gun and for the ammo to lay on.

i always save the ammo belts and gun sights from my ork models as you never know when you will need them, as a small bit of GW model will help are scratch built guns look the dogs bollocks, and they.

the ammo belts are a little rounded, so just squash the with your finger and remove the mould lines.

now im making bits that look like the ammo boxes are attached to the guns and that the ammo is sat in a cradle, this dont have to look great, as we is Orky Army.

you can see how i'm building it up, its not hard, just cut to size, have a play, then stick.......easy hahaha.


now we are using the smallest tube, not really a tube, more of a soiled small plastic rod, but it fits inside the inner gun barrel, that's the bit we cut into rings, this part of the gun is the recoil rod or Gas buffers, if you know out about guns, but anyway, it make the gun look like a gun.


just copy what ive done and stick it at the bottom of the gun.

now we add rivets, this is cut from a very very very small rounded rod, like the one above, but well smaller.

and now paint.




i hope you like, Orks for ever !!

Oh man! Superb stuff. Wish I had half the skill... (and some of the patience).

The first pic is the best: it reminds me that I have to paint my Painboy!

W.O.W!

mate, this tut is above awesome, i will be definetly building my guns using this.

Yes, great how to clear and precise brilliant work even better when painted nice job

How did you make the handles though

Ahh yeah the handle, i forgot, they from the knifes that you get with the ork boys plastic models, just trimmed them down, i only had 2 so that's all i could do.

Incredible attention to detail, they look phenomenal; and thanks for sharing that, I picked up a few new tips mate.

Great tutorial


Now one for the buggy please

Thank You mate, awesome tut!
Any online shop You can advise for plasticard?

Your tutorial appears to be just as awesome as your conversions - thank you very much for your time and effort - very much appreciated

Good god, your builds are super nice. Seriously, keep it up

I'm in awe of your modelling skills. You have the deft hands of a brain surgeon.

GW really needs to hire you for making new Ork kits

i just downloaded every pic of your tutorial...one day that will be very helpful for me...many big thank you´s for sharing that really indepth step by step tutorial!!!

You cheeky bugger

Great tutorial!

Ork madness! love it all, I love how the flying monstrosity is probably kept in the air by ork willpower and accelerating so that gravity doesn't have a chance to catch up. (Dats Ork logik Dat iz.)

LOL "kept in the air by ork willpower" i really laughed out loud!

there's 15 rocket out lets, you will see when its done, so its not JUST willpower on its own haha

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite thread on DakkaDakka.

how to make a scratch built hatch for you Orky Army.

First off get some 0.1mm plastic card, I've tried my best to make the hole thing out of the same sized card, so to keep it very simple, cut 3 1inch by 1inch squares out

Stick 2 of them together and dill holes in each corner, this needs to be bigger than the plastic rod you will be using later to make it look like big rivets in the holes. the stick the last bit of card to it.

Now with your GW knife, roughen up the sides like I'm doing, this will make it look like its been cut with a welding torch.

Cut up some more card, this is going to make the sides of the hatch, so up to you really how high up you want your hatch to sit.

Build up the sides like I'm doing.

Now make some re-enforcements just like I've done and stick them on, you may need to file them a little just like i had to.

do this on both sides, you can make the base bigger, and do this on all 4 sides, up to you.

Now file the side at an angle, this is where the hatch will sit, it also makes it easier to stick and stronger.

in the picture above there are some tubs and rods cut to size and ready to be stuck on like in the picture below, these are going to make the hinges.
i also filed down a little of the hinge to make a flat area to stick the hatch, just makes it stronger again.

make the hatch doors to size and stick it on, also make up so detail, ie I've put some card inside the hatch to make it look a bit more real.
the area's highlighted are area that again I've made look like they have been cut with a welding torch, just do this again with you modelling knife.
These bit will be stuck to the out side of the hatches.

Cut a small bit of Tub, the same stuff as before, this will make part of the hatch handles.

then cut some bits like i have and stick on like handles.

make some rivets now by cutting a fin peace of card (square) just bigger than a smallest plastic rods you have, you may need to us you modelling knife to pick these up at they should be very small.

are now paint.




hope you like, just file down the edges before you paint as this will help it not look so new.

Wow just wow.

some guys have just so much talent at their disposal...man!!!

Once again great walk through top work so clean and great finished hatch, now the buggy how to

Best tut on the net, glad You decide to share your talent, thank You again!

Ok rat fan's, Ork Bugger Tut coming up, give me a day or 2

*rubs hands*^^

"Smiles" and" rubs hands "

i don´t do smiles... °.°

I'd exalt this thread three more times if I could. I just built a big shoota (mostly) following your tutorial, and it turned out great! Thanks! I'm gonna have to build a buggy when you put that one up....

should be done for the weekend fingers crossed.

weekends gonna be a good one

Well done! Great tutorial. I'll give it a go as soon as I have stocked up my bandaid supply.

Nice last time I just used a roll of kitchen towels and a t -towel, amazing how deep a new blade can cut OUCH !!!

These should be put in a Tutorial thread for prosperity. Get a hold of a mod and they will put it somewhere where it wont get lost in the tons of P&M blogs.

I think he already has

yep, see my signature

this is my Ork War buggy / truck Tutorial, I've tried to keep it simple for all you big kids out there, you should be able to follow this no probs, if you can't you need a new hoby

the first pick is my tools as always, you need good glue too, NOT GW GLUE, there are some very good glues out there, i use Humbrol poly cement, it comes out of a needle point almost, it rocks

Next you will need a GW Deffkopta, buy them from eBay, don't pay more than £3.50p for them, thats postage too, this guys is where i get all my stuff from http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/the-bitz-store/?_trksid=p4340.l2559, make sure your Deffkopta is not built or stuck together, it makes life a whole lot easier.

you will need to cut the model up like ive shown with the red lines.

all the bits left put in your bit box, you never know when you need some crap for your basing.

next are the wheels, you can get these from eBay, more a GW model or mould your own, up to up, i'm not here to wipe your ass.
i made some discs, this is just to give me some support at the back of the wheels, this is made from normal plastic card

i then made the bars that the wheels go on, you wont really see this as it will be under the vehicel, and i normally cover it in mud anyway.

sit the Deffkopta on the bar to give you an idea what its going to look like, at this point you can still change things if it looks crap, so dont glue, anyway its not going there.

now we build up the front of the Deffkopta, mate it look abit like this, it dosn't have to look great as a Ork skull symbol will be stuck on it, ive put a big tube cut in half there to, this is there to give it more strength when i stick it to the wheel bar.

this picture shows what the wheel bars look like, i sit them on my table and moved them around till i like the size, then i make the bars marked with the red line, these are like girder's, i got them from a model train shop, you can buy big and small, as i said before, this is the underside, and wont be see, but do what i've done if only for the strength of the model.
the big red arrows are showing some supports that are there for mud guards that i was going to put in later, but i didn't.

now sticking time, stick the front down, well easy, the back is different, you will need to make up some sort of support like i have, stick the model down first, then build up around it and make sure it straight, then leave to dry, 2 hours or so, MAKE SURE IT STRAIGHT.

once dry, i then build up the strength of the model, putting more beams in, plus it looks good

and again here, dont go over board with them, too many may look silly.

this is a good time to fill in any hole that might be there from cutting up your Deffkopta, or like me, put some more armour plates on it.

now we are going to make the suspension, this is easy, dont panic, garden wire is your friend, go buy some, its kool, get some plastic tube or brass, drill a hole, stick it in the hole, twist, hay we made a spring, trim, bingo.

cut to size, mark a little support and stick.......well easy

do both sides

now we going to make it look like it can steer, again, this dosn't have to look great, i will probable cover this area in mud

follow what I'm doing, build it up with card and tubes


ok, the bits that are marked are struts that will support the mud guards.

now make your mud guards out of flat plastic card, just bend it to shape, take you time, get it right, don't forget to cut out holes for where the springs will sit next to, marked with red rings

bang on some armour plating, mark it look abit of a mess, this is where your off cuts come in handy (never chuck anything away)

make a skull symbol, draw it first then cut out, don't forget to make it a bit rough, if you struggle, copy a GW one or go to your bit box.

stick it on

make the back flat bed, dont stick it down yet tho, we are still building it up

these bits and supports as i wanted my one to be big big big

now stick it down, at this stage you should be thinging, do i stop, and make it a flatbed, or keep building it up, what ever look your going for keep at it or stop

i built up my sides

and put some armour plates on it

add the roll bars, easy to do, just build it up

bang some armour on it, make sure the ork can see out, it will look crap if he cant and you wont like the 10 year old telling you at a games one day.


making rivets, start with small square

stick them on, randomly and in places that look like a rivet should go

cut some suds

stick them on, also stick some on where you havn't put squares, its all orky

looking good


hope you like, i will paint and post at a later date.

WOW!

this is awesome, as always!

where do you get that textured plasticard?

I NEED that!

wazzoo200 - thanks for that, it looks amazing! .... do I really want to do orks again?..... maybe :(

model train shop mate, there every where, or go online

Outstanding tutorial wazzoo!

Thats a great tutorial! Nicely done Wazzoo

Thank You again for sharing this amazing job!

Makes me wish I'd bought a truckload of plastic card before starting my orks.

These all look so good and like so much fun, almost makes me want to start an Ork army...maybe soon.

Thanks will save this for later another great how to

Do more deffcopta tutorials! This is great!

I've got 3 of them lying around, but not for much longer with all the inspiration I'm pulling from this thread....

Oh WOW, those conversion are so cool...

Just keep this up, it's nice to see an innovating ork painter's stuff.

These put my work to shame. Have you seen the Ork Scratch building competition on here?

Those really cool models you got there. My only complaint is that you haven't been here earlier.

looks fun, but i'm not interested

excellent models!
giving me tons of ideas

*picks up jaw* *it promptly drops again* *gives up and leaves it*

wow, fantastic tutorial. Love the scratch built stuff. It's so awesome I may have to try it.

brilliant tutorial, making me wish I hadnt given my freind my spare deffkopta :/

wazzoo, I just came went through this thread today and this is truly awesome stuff.

I apologize if this question has been asked or answered already, but how do you go about painting your vehicles? I have improved at painting my infantry but I still am not great at getting the look I want for my battlewagons, and I saw all your vehicles and they are exactly what I dream mine might look like one day.

Do you have a brief tutorial or tips on how to get that sort of red and weathering done?

when i paint i start off with a black undercoat, i then paint a gunmetal/black 50/50 mix, i dry brush this on, it gives a nice dark metal look, this is a heavy layer, but always dry brush, then ill go for a bright silver, again, dry brushing it on.

next i paint my bloody red, i try to do it as if the orks them self's are doing, i do it with a small brush and i only paint in small area's and work out, i always leave the edges alone, so it looks like worn. add detail, then wash with Dev mud.

im wont do a Tut on Painting, there are far better painter out there than me, and there are loads of Tut showing you how to paint, just go on Youtube, there's 100's

Here you go guys, this is my Ork Trukk, all made from the Ork Trukk GW kit and a bit of plastic card and milliput (but you can use green stuff if you like)

Ha Ha Hah love it !!! like the tubing at the back makes it almost realistic, great work and love the hood ornament great job ………

great job mate, kinda reminds me of the scratch trukk i made, but mine was a little different (flatfront)

yeh your "CONVERSION" was well good, yours gave me the Idea for mine, ill get it paint this afternoon

I love the idea behind your review mirrors. Marvelous work, as always!

Lovely =] you should magnetise it so you could attach 'the rest' of a lorry, brilliant mental images of thousands of orks, tipping dangerously on a reallly long open top lorry.

the tailor will be made in the next week or 2

Great stuff, look forward to it =] will there be a suitable number of orks hanging on?/falling off?

Great building, great tuts, great painting! You even managed to make the Dreadknight look awesome

Slow down man you're making me feel slow here, I stick half a dozen rivets you build a friggin army and paint it , whats that all about

Now yes we know you have skill, yes we know you have talent, but know your just showing off LOL

Great job on the truck I like it even more with the paint job ……..

Outstanding work! Man that looks good... very post-apoc.

As usual...fantastic and faster than I could ever dream of!

Oh man, not only do you build really fast, you paint fast too. You haven't painted your hands red have you?

Lovely stuff again, love the look of that trukk, can't wait for the trailer. Which will no doubt be fully painted before the cab of mine gets the next step added to it

Very effective paint scheme, wouldn't have guessed it was that simple

Wow, stop posting stuff...... trying not to start up orks again!!! haha

Jesus, everyone is right, this stuff is being churned out at a staggering rate, in the time its taken you to build this truck and paint it i've undercoated a model black and read a chapter of titanicus. Your putting us all to shame!

Ok this is just getting silly. NO human can be that fast and I'm also pretty sure wazzoo2000's posts counts as spam which is against TOS.

I'm going to alert mods as somebody's head might explode after seeing this spam of awesome.



btw that is a really nice trukk and I'm totally looting ideas here

this is amazing work... keep it up
the plasticard tutorial was really helpful........ unfortunately i have almost no plasticard left, and my local hobby store stopped selling

Well done

Thanks guys, all your kind words just make me want to make more, and i will.

there are loads of on-line plastic card company's out there if you are finding it hard to buy it local, just get off you ass and search for them hahaha. but like i keep saying, FIND your local / close's MODEL TRAIN shop, ring them and ask these if they sell if 95% of model train shops sell, coz most model train people build gak from sctatch. but i do feel for you if you cant find any, but if you do, post it here.

thanks again guys

waz

ps...... trailer is coming on nice as pie................ mmmmmmmmmm pie !

In the Graveshem Area you have:
TJD models in Hawley
HobbyCraft in Crayford

In medway you have:
The Signal Box (choo choo trains shop) in Rochester.
All have websites with addresses.

I second the idea of a painting tutorial.

You shouldn't sell yourself short. There might be many painting tutorial out there, but we want YOURS.

Nothing elaborate is needed.
Just grab an armour plate, slap another plate on it and paint it while taking step-by-step pictures...just like you do your wonderful building tuts.

WOW!! Awesome scratchbuilds here man!

Got any tips for scratchbuilding orky wheels?

Keep up the awesome work!

Okay, this is all pure awesome. First, this is why I would love to do an Ork army, it lends itself to scratch build for everything, and you've captured it wonderfully. The first pic of this thread I was blown away, all your work is inspiring. The Airship is out of this world, and the big rig is just as cool. And right, your painting sucks...? I actually really liked the dirt and wear you put on the vehicles.

Mortalitas wrote:Got any tips for scratchbuilding orky wheels?

Sorry to say, but wheels area hard to come by, unless you mould your own, and if you do copy GW then don't say you are, they will hunt you down.

Not sure where to send you or what to say to you. (I made a mould)

I'm in need of orky wheels as well. The closest I got was to do tracks. Much easier to do with a bit of profiled plasticard from Evergreen. (check link in my sig if you want to know more).

I posted a pic on my blog. Come on over and have a look: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/60/423220.page#3935735

I just found this thread and have to say that these are some of the best ork conversions I have ever seen! So glad I found your blog, wazzoo! Keep up the great work.

here you go boys and girls, hope you like.

Like it?

I LOVE IT!

Wow, this is REALLY AWESOME!!

Amazing work, truly inspiring for me starting scratchbuilding.

Subscribed!

Haha! I love it, so awesome.

When I thought that I've seen the awesomeness in this thread, You arrive with this and shatter any record of scratch building mejesty in a few pics.
I want to steal your talent!

I have a serious question for you.

Does it hurt to be so awesome all the time? I mean, all of your stuff is painfully amazing.... so surely it has to hurt, right?

*picks up jaw from floor*

Amazing model man!

thanks guys, i will keep it all going, not sure what to do next tho, may well work on my airship till i get so inspiration

Holy crap how the hell do you do this so fast

Amazing again (which I have to say I am getting sick of saying ) if you keep this up I will have to come round and break your fingers just out of envy

I have to ask where are the WIP pictures I figured it out you just buy them don't you

No really great stuff but would love to see some progress pics if just not to steal your ideas LOL no I mean it really I am going to steal them all HAH HA HAH HA HA HA

WIP pic's just slow me down, but i will do some next time

That semi trukk is awesome! Great work!

Beautiful work man, that is a fantastic trukk

Can i request some nob bikers?

Absolutely epic thread, love it all, esp the Orkimus Prime!

Just... WOW

THAT... is just too cool for school!

Did someone order a shipment of Orks?

WIP pic as you asked for, only one i have

Nice work thanks for the pic but next time take more so we can steal your work more easily

Its just figuring out the support structure to the trailer that was baffling me so was hoping for some close ups as I loved the look

Guess I will have to squint at the picture to figure it out

the thing i find very interesting is that on this scratchbuilt the chains look very on scale to the rest of the model... so most of the times i see peeps use way to big chains... did you use lego or possibly playmobil chainsfor a change?

If you're looking for scale chains Vik try women's cheap jewellery accessories …… perfect for such jobs.

Plus you can make out you are treating her at the same time

yep... tho i might add i have looked into that matter already and found for my liking the links are a bit to wide for my liking... but well there is plenty of sand on the beach so they say... so i just have to keep on looking for fitting chains...

She goes to Monsoon a lot "clothes shop" and they have and accessories shop on the side which she looks in a lot, and she will ask what do I think to this I look at the chain and say very nice dear

Now though she knows what I am doing BUSTED !!!!!!!!

Good man I TOLD YOU Vik

all i did is with some really strong glue, stick one end down, rap the chains around where you need them , then use some more watery strong glue, cover the chains in it, and they should stay where they were.

ok understood^^ when the need arise i now know where to look^^

DEATHRACE!!



That is one awesome piece of Ork trukk!

Thank you for continuously being a great source of inspiration.

I am seriously stealing your painting method.
I have had a built and primed Ork trukk lying around for months, but I couldn't figure out how to paint it, so I kept putting it off. After seeing your amazing work, I finally should be able to pick up the work on my Ork army again. I also have a plan in mind for a looted wagon, and you have so much good advice in this thread, so I should really go ahead and do it.

here you go boys and girl, i made this tonight, i made the gun yesterday, i will try and paint it tomoz and post after.

god i love Deffkoppers Muhahahaha you can do so much with them.

Haha they just keep coming. Your Ork conversions look like they'd be so much fun to build. Can't wait to see more. Outstanding work!

Very cool indeed

I do love a good trike, and that is a good trike.

Nice piece of dakka too.

Dam you did it again nice job

Very cool...

Awesome stuff on this thread, and great tutorials also.

These vehicles show what proper orkiness should be about.

Keep it up

So much style with that bike, awesome!

Agreed - I think the AoBR DeffKopta is the best GW 40k Kit of all time. There is some much you can do with it. Wonderful work - you really put these together with paint super-quick. Im a fan!

sub subbed.

here you go

Oh now that's a thing of beauty!

How do you do this so quick

love the paint job and your technique is perfect

yeah he is so quick...i smell a fish...a good looking fish at that^^

Hahaha I dont think I'm quick tho, I just have loads of time off work at the moment.

Very nice Wazzoo

Amazed as usual! You're too good man

Like all the other stuff on here its awesome, BUT you forgot to paint the front half of the gun..... tsk tsk tsk.....



More please!

what ??

oh right! Shame over me for not realizing.....

normally i varnish it too, but didnt on that photo, the model is now finished and sat in the york GW shop

amazing build on the HGV with trailer. However i think its needs a few upgrades to it. How about a large missile? theres plenty of ww2 v2 missile kits that would look great on that trailer?

keep up the great work!

I hate you, how can you work at this speed, its unnatural.

On the plus side great builds, great painting, and great tutorials.

Like I said, I hate you

brainscan wrote: i think its needs a few upgrades to it. How about a large missile? theres plenty of ww2 v2 missile kits that would look great on that trailer?

nope sorry, but i think your wrong, i love this as it is, i did think of putting some heavier weapons on it, but my Ork have a normal look about them, i dont like these model on here that go way OTT, i love this the way it is hahahaha

I agree with you, Wazzoo.

Some really cool ideas sometimes gets destroyed by either make a vehicle waaay too big or adding enormous weapons/rockets.
I find it really sad when something like that is done, all in the name of "But it is Orky!!".

yep, fully agree with you ***Hi 5***

Subscribed. Whenever I need inspiration I shall be stopping in here as your work is just wonderful.

Yes, leave as is, don't go OTT looks great.

Although next time more pics of the WIP that way its easier to steal your ideas the frame work on the trailer is great and I cant see enough of it in the one WIP pic.

This makes it way to hard to steal and replicate the style …. DAM YOU !


No I really like the way the frame turned out on it, if you could do a how to on it I would be ever so grateful

Sweet job on the chopper.

Keep these crazy contraptions coming

So cool! dont usually comment but could not resist. Makes me want to build orks so bad... maybe just a small army wouldn't hurt. I'd love to see a gargant conversion. Maybe find some dinosaur toy and stickin' orky stuff onto it? But my vote so far is for the grot tanks/looted tanks and the bikers being the coolest. More grot stuff!

This is a thread of inspirational orkyness, brilliant builds

Tutorials were very helpfull, thanks for sharing

Amazing and inspirational stuff

FREEKIN'!!!!
AWESOME!!!!

thanks guys, i do have some thing on the way, but im having to work at the moment, so its becoming a bit slow building it, but it is looking good.

if you say slow...it will probably be done by tomorrow^^

He probably finished it as you were typing …..

was afraid to say it that way...but you are probably right... he is just teasing us^^

I think He has a load of minis already and just waiting to be shown, We complained too much about the speed I guess eheh

lol...

Well that's me subscribed...

All of this stuff is fantastic! Keep up the excellent work dude!

Only thing we need now is a group-shot

never before have i seen an ork vehicle come out of dakka as good as that one

work in progress

hope you all like it so far, a lot of work still to do, with little time to myself (boooo)











if you want to add things like, "hay waz, why don't you do this or do that" then feel free, we all run out of idea's hahaha

My second scratch-built Ork Tank, based on a toy Pz III.

thats is very very very nice mate, 10/10, but its not scratch built, thats means you built it up for almost nothing, yours is a very very nice conversion, top marks mate.

ps.......love the rusty look, very nice painting

hey wazzoo, your airship looks fantastic! You are going to add afew armour plates, right? Apart form that I'd keep it as it is and paint it. The orks at the side hatches are a great touch!

edit:

oh and bushfire, thats also a very cool conversion you got there!

Love that wazoo. Question... how do you intent to run it rules-wise?

Well it's official. You're models (both conversions and painting) make me weep steaming tears of blood and failure. I will now burn every ork model I have ever assembled or painted, and quit life.

Gitsplitta wrote:Question... how do you intent to run it rules-wise?

well seeing as i don't play the game, i have no idea, but i make my ork models in the hope that GW will one day make a rule book for ork converters so that can chop and change things as i do with my models, i go for the look of a model rather than obeying rules to me my number one rule is "make it so it almost looks like it will sort of work" and number to is "make it look good in the process"

anyway, im copying this first, thats my next one, i just hope my one is as good as this, i will be making a tailor to boot as well.

That's really cool wazoo... never seen anything quite like it.

Wazzoo, you may want to spoiler that inspirational pic, as some people skip the writingz and just look at the images.... assuming you did it.....

I'm very much looking forward to seeing your version of it!

That is so kewl.

I did one with the front of a 1/35 German Armored Car, I'm sure that You can do better!



P.S.: didn't want to show off, if You want I'll remove that pic from your thread

nah its good to see stuff think that m8, keep it on

@Selvaggio: Really cool wagon, I'd love to see some paint on it!
Oh and if you're worried about posting your stuff in someone elses blog.... just spoiler it. As I said before, some people just scroll around and look at the pics.... assuming wazzoo did it....
But I guess most should recognize it as someone elses job, so you could just as well leave it.....

Trust me, you're is going to be better, both constructed and painted

thanks guys for all your non Warhammer 40k kind words, baby Joey is doing mighty fine and will be building Ork models as soon as he can walk.



ok to add, i do do commission and i feel im quite cheap, i charge for all the matts use and at a rate of about £8 an hour.

so this (see the pic below)................................would cost £150 to £175 depending on what weapons you where asking for (thats Unpainted, just with a black undercoat on and postage not counted).

broken down on price....

Converting the Trukk
1. the Trukk model = £20
2. matts = £5
3. my time = £25
4. over sight = £5 (other matts and stuff)
toltal = £55
Scratch Building the Trailer
1. trukk model = £20
2. matts = £25
3. my time £40
4. over sight £10 (other matts and stuff)
total = £95

grand total of £150+, i feel this is right for a model that no one else will have, i will make it different from any others ive made in the past.

feel free to message me asking about any models and costing

That's really freaking amazing wazoo... just tremendous. Never seen anything like it.
