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?

If I have one complaint, it's that this:

Thanks, no tutorial is necessary this sums it up quite well!

here you go guys, all painted, hope you like, i love the look of this truck, cant wait to make the tailor now, not 100% what im going to stick on it, might to put a gak load of DakkaDakka's on it Muhahahahahaha !

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!

Haha this. ^^

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

See we need to start the large sheet plasticard company who is with me come on

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.

so true....

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.
