hello. im here with a new totally self-made ork trukk!! made it from the plastic things that hold the orks in assault on black reach, some lego bionicle (it proves usefull after a year without touching it!), scratch and an old plastic box.
here are some pics of my black undercoated trukk. soon i'll post painted pics!

**warhammer_4**

Good job. The bionicle parts fit in quit nicely. It could do with some rivits however!

**david37370**

hmmm what's rivits?

**salvadorjer**

Orky, nice. I'd go so far as to say it has all the bitz in all the right places.
And yes the bionicle ram looks good, maybe put a trophy on it after your first game with it.

**david37370**

a trophy in a form of a damn dead terminator helm muahahaha

**MrMerlin**

That trukk is looking good. Very ramshackle, just like ork vehicles are supposed to be

I recognize a lot of the lego parts, lol

**david37370**

i love the gretchin with the rokkit launcha!
anyway i dont know how to paint it any tips?

**drglnc**

Looks good for a scratch built, as for paint - Red wunzz goo fasta!!!!!!! in the future i recommend using a plastic primer/flat base. The gloss may make it harder to paint. Looks like your using cheaper craft paints on your stuff. if your going to be in the hobby you might want to think about investing in atleast a few nicer paints, the Vallejo ranges are cheaper than GW and alot of people think there better aswell so mayve try those or reaper. for 20-30 bucks you can get a pretty good selection to use as your starter set and build up over time from there. i have about 30 colors total in my pile and not many colors i cant mix on my own using those. hope this all helps!

**david37370**

yesss!!! completed the paint, my new trukk!! totally self made!!

hmmm what's rivits?

Damn it! I meant rivets! I got to stop relying on my browsers spell check....

**david37370**

hmm i got a question can you tell me what is magnetizing? someone told mee to do it and he's offline

**warhammer_4**

^^ Its when you use miniature magnets to attach components to a model. It is most often used on a vehicle which has multiple weapon options. Rather than buying a whole new kit to reconfigure the model you can pop off a magnetized weapon and throw a different one on. I use rare earth magnets:

Very orky! Good job.

**burgerking ork**

Very good! I like the use of legos, and the random splotches of graffiti.

**JennyP**

Love the graffiti and the Bionicles! This is really clever - well done!
