Well, here is the latest creation for Da Boyz. To make this model you'll need the following:
x1 Forgeworld Flatbed Trukk
x1 GW Plastic Trukk
x1 Forgeowrld Extra Grot Crew
x1 Forgeworld Ork Squadron Comander
x1 Forgeworld Flakka Dakka Guns.
x4 Armorcast Cinematic effect blasts

This is for my Speed Freaks Army. The whole army will look battered and weathered (think Mad Max era) on a desert theme. I'm trying to go to town on the weathering, I think its a bit thick on this model (what do you think?). I'm using Mig weathering powders, not the Forgeworld ones.

I've added the Grot with the radio pack and added the wire between his pack, and the Phone the Squadron Commander has. I've also then added fuel drums, weapons, bullet casings to the floor of the flatbed. From the pics you can't really see the two Grots struggling to reposition the gun (one is pulling on the others trousers - its quite comical look on the FW site). I've added bullet casing coming out the top of the Flak guns and the explosions at the front of the cannons.

GDA quality, I like it.

I like how theres a bit of sand here and there. it makes a nice affect.

Very cool!!!
I love the weathering and the cinematic effect of the muzzle flashes.

I think you need to add a lot more spent shell casings on the bed of the trukk if you want to represent it firing as that thing would be littered with them...

This is a great looking vehicle. Nicely done.

There is a ton going on in that Flakk Trukk. Well done!

I CAN HAZ FLAKKTRUKK?

I've built it so the cannon can be removed - Easier to transport. Here are two more shots showing the crew detail.

I may just put more ammo casing over the back of the flatbed, but cutting up bits of plastic rod, painting black / tin bitz / shining gold / burnished gold is suicidal!

Great stuff overall, esp. the weathering on the red edges. Wouldn't it be great if the flak gunner's eyepiece connected to the scope on the gun? Could be sort of a flexible tube!

Nice job keep it up

that is awesome, well done!

Love it.

Holy forgeworld stuff. Looks awesome! I agree with the more shell casings comment too.

Very nice, I absolutely love it.

nice, but the muzzle flare is too small, specially fer orks.

That thing is all sorts of awesome. If you want more bullet casings (and I know you do), you could probably save yourself some time by chopping up some brass rod/straightened wire. Not hard to clip it, grab it with a pair of pliers, and file the ends flush. Throw down some glue, pile them up and call it a day (unless you want to give them a quick black wash for definition and the all-important-and-ultimately-orky dirty factor).

Disagree. The muzzle flash looks great.
