I found these baby'z at Wally world for 4$ each.... with a little converting I'll have a Deffkopta. What do you think?

**Krom&krog**

Ok so here you have it primed black....

**snorkle**

They look about a million times better than the GW versions. Great conversion.

**malfred**

The conversion works much better than I thought it would.

Cool stuff.

**Krom&krog**

I added a white dry brush to try and bring out some more details, now I have 4 more to do.... LOL

**strafed**

Looks great, kinda has a 'flying truck' feel

**Trag-Oul**

Those are some nice looking models maybe for making em orky have the rotors be hacked up bit and if your up to it one crashing into the ground

**shrew**

I realy like it, but I think you need at least 1 grot hanging on for dear life from a rotor blade. Also I was a helicopter mechanic for over 10 yrs, so I'm kinda dissapointed you got rid of the tailrotor, but still cool & very ORKY. Makes want to go buy the Codex.

The grot on the rotor blade I think I can do (thinking) well how about a a snotling, rember the old pump wagon? the one in the up position I think would work perfectly. The tialrotor on the other hand had to go to make the overall size of the jet bike right. Thanks for everyones coments and BTW the rotor is still free moving and I'm thinking about mounting a small motor in the bottom so it moves during game play. lol

**Stelek**

Hilarious.

I'll show you my TMNT shoota boyz trukks soon as I have time to get to it. lol

**Luebbi**

When I saw the first picture I thought "that will never work", but somehow, you made it work. Great job!

I'd love to see'um and thanks once agian for running one hell of a tourney.

**akira5665**

That is some brilliant conversion work.

Now I really CAN justify browsing the 'Toy' section in shops for ideas...(Girlfriend hates it-lol)

That would work well and the scale is good. An actual grot model is usually too big for hanging on to the side of a vehicle, but I've used the snotlings from pump wagons for years on all my rok vehicles. I especially like the one in the robe that is giving the finger - I've got one mounted on the front of a trukk that really gives the feeling of "you're screwed" to whatever unit they are getting ready to charge...

Great work on the conversion - did you magnetize the gun so that you can switch out weapon systems? Makes it a little more flexible in the long run.

**drunkorc**

Yes, another Toy user, I was thinking Models, but its cheeper w/ Toys.

Good job mate!

**Death By Monkeys**

That's hilarious! I can't wait to see it painted up!

**Krom&krog**

This is the first time i've attempted to make one of my vehicles have actual moving parts. I've learned a great deal like, don't paint it first...lol.

**tylermenz**

Im not a fan of toy models but that actually isnt too bad...good job

**Stelek**

Haha awesome, now add some razor blade rotors and watch the finger juice fly! ;-)

**Wehrkind**

*L* I believe Stelek has just invented the ultimate in "Don't touch my models without permission!" enforcement! Well done sir!

I dunno, a Big Black Book to the face has always worked just fine for me.

Will exacto blades work? lol

**Krom&krog**

2 down 3 to go...

**Wehrkind**

BBB's work nicely, but when the miniature defends itself? Priceless.

**Death By Monkeys**

Maybe I'm missing something, but are the hollow tubes on the sides of the models supposed to represent something? Or are they just Orky "'olla toobz"?

They are a sophisticated orky air intake valve... air goes in one side and out the other. lol

That's awesome. It just wreaks of Mek-gineering.

shoot, that's where they stuff the grotz what will become grot bombs when they are dumped out of the tubes..

**Sturmtruppe**

Looks like the best "toy" conversion I've ever seen. Nice work.
