Thanks for taking a look! I'm not sure what I'm gonna do next, but I haven't done a WiP log on Dakka-Dakka yet, so I want to try one out. any thoughts on what I should do?

Epicly awesome. That really is quite fantastic.

The amount of detail and the sheer orkishness of the piece are astounding, bravo.

sA

WOW thats amazing it looks fantastic

Looks great..How long did it take you ?

I like it, how big is it though? It looks a bit beefier than the typical Ork flier not that I'm complaining.

Stunning stuff, 10/10.

Absolutely incredible there mate.

That is one of the coolest ork scratchbuilds I have ever laid eyes on.

Well done! 10/10!

Cheers,

Jack.

WHOA!

I didn't know what to expect when I clicked on this topic, but I didn't expect the 100% awesomeness contained herein!

What did you base this model on?

How much is scratch built?

And, what else have you got to show us?

Fantastic stuff!

I is jealous

Any chance for some WIP shots. I was actually going to try and build one myself for 40k. Once I start I'm sure I'll have lots of questions for you.

That is so beautiful

holy

AWESOME....
but..
Would like to see some close up photos:

Wing pipes.
Art on side of fusilage.
Underside

any other areas of cool detailing not seen clearly on the main photo.

actual work time was about five months. I had to go to school in the middle of it, so a year from start to finish.

Its pretty massive, wing span is 23", nose to tail is 20". Here's a shot with a rhino under its wing,


and one of my roomie holding it. (he's not a small guy, no camera tricks, haha.)

I based it off of the Aeronotica Imperialis forge world model.



with the exception of the ork pilot, door gunners, and random cannons for the nose, the whole model is scratch built. Its 90% sheet plastic and PVC tubing.

As for what else I have to show y'all, I have tons of models, I just usually only post the big stuff. I'm slowly making the move from warseer to Dakka Dakka, so expect more pics in the future. I really need to spend a day getting a gallery together for this board.

This is the WiP thread I did over at warseer. The next project will be done over here.

check out the last few pages of the WiP thread over at warseer. If there's any detail not covered in that thread that you want to see, I'll post them here.


Thanks for all the kind responses. I really like doing projects like this, just not sure what the next one will be.

HOly jeebus that thing is massive.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Yeah I totally have to build one now. Thanks for the inspiration. I ran across the FW pics the other day and have been pondering how to go about it.

I don't know how I missed the thread over on warseer but I'm glad you posted it here. I love your stuff.

It's the amount of detail you put into your work that really sets it apart. I can't wait to see what you're doing next.

Just... damn. Pure Orky awesomeness.

Job's a good 'un!

Yeah, that's not bad...

I jest, that is astounding! Probably the best large model I've seen on this and any forum. You should email a pic to GW, be amazed if they didn't stick it up on their site/offer you a job on the spot.

Priceless. Epic. Awesome. Fantastic.

10/10

The sheer cluttered amazing orkyness is only surpassed by the excellent paint job.

Wow you actually finished it!

I followed your building of this bad boy (and your dragon) over on Warseer.

Pox you amaze me.

Very cool model, impressive scratch-building if I have ever seen it.

The only thing left is to get this thing off the ground and flying !!!

This is a very impressive model indeed, would love to see any WIP shots if you have any.

The paintjob is superb aswell, it all just screams ORKY !

Excellent stuff, a very nice paint job on a wonderful scratchbuilld. A little less rusty than I would paint it, but I guess that mek takes care of his pride and joy

This is such a beautiful model. Do you plan on building more?

That is 100% pure awesomesauce.

Actually i have something to say about this monstrosity ....



FREGGIN AWESOME !

You know the more I look at it, the cooler it becomes. I would love to see a how to guide just for some insiration. You really did a great job. The model itself is awsome and the paint job brings it over the finish line.

That's simply one of the sickest pieces of work I've seen. The amount of detail in the model is nothing short of incredible.

It's superb!! One of the bestest orky things ever seen here.

However - I think the canopy is a weak point! The design is so uniform and lacks detail. Where are the rivets and asymmetric support structure, bullet holes and cracked window and ... It's a focal point ina gorgeous thing crammed with detail and narrative and suddenly both are lacking.

PROPPA!!!
