So my friend plays orks, and after building my imperial titan I decided he needed a superheavy too. So after reading the apoc book I decided on a Big Mek Stompa entirely because of the "Lifta Droppa" ... the idea of throwing tanks at each other sounded fun So to start this process I got him a Mr. Potato-head for his birthday so he could get a start on it. Unfortunately, he was much lazier than I anticipated. Then a few days ago, I realized there was an apoc game coming up, and I decided I would finish the stopma and bring it for a little fun on game day. This is that project.



Day one:




Then this happened.

Day two:



Kinda makes the titan feel more impressive

Day three:





This is the lifta droppa



There's still a bit of work to go, I need another big shoota and some grot rockets... and there's always room for more gubbinz so expect updates soon

Reminds me of that other stompa someone made.

I won't pretend to be as good a s a professional painter since I only got into it last year, but I always liked the idea of turning a childhood toy into a merciless killing machine

I hate orks.. but you made me want an ork army just so I can make one of those :/

Mr. Potato head FTW! looks really awesome.
What did you use for that little gatling gun on his shoulder?

I think that's from the GK Nemesis Dreadknight.

Ahh yea, I'd forgotten about that model, it works well keeping the left side balanced with that huge gun on the right.

Mista Potat-Ork 'Ead! I love this kind of creativity!

Love the bowler hat! Makes him so much more...sophisticated...
Have you seen the Sweeper action figure from that disney movie "Robots"? I have seen it repainted, and its looks very decidedly orky.
