You can tell it was. It was supposed to be a kan, but I messed it up a bit so it became a dredd, or possibly a boss kan?
Its unfinished so any ideas how to to improve it? It definately needs improving, and nothing short of a miracle could help this chap
I medically have quite shaky hands, so moddelling is rarely easy, which mght explain that and ludicrous amount of glue,
that and using the cheaper stuff, which is just aweful. It still needs rather a lot of trimming.

Needs a boss pole of some sort i would say or maybe even a couple declaring its might, maybe fill in some of the repair/armour plates with some orky glyphs not bad looking at all can't really work with plasti-card so well myself i too also over glue quite a bit just try to file it off or pick at it then when its base coated usually can't notice.

its a very good first scratch build, needs abit more adding to it, but very good..

Great model but I agree with Field Marshal Wiley in that it needs boss poles and Glyphs to make it look more orky.

I was thinking of buying a box of nobz, that has some boss pole like things in it doesnt it?

While it looks like a kludged together war machine, it doesn't look like a very interesting one. If you're going to build more, I'd try to break up the basic rectangular outline more, maybe with some indented sections or with visible detail from whatever the sheet metal was looted from.

How would I break up the shape?

Some big exhaust pipes coming up from the engine deck.

You want it make it not look like the orks found or made a perfect rectangular box. You've added patches which is a good start, but I'd also make the sides look less like single sheets of metal (by adding a seam to at least one side where the orks had to weld two pieces together to get a big enough sheet), and perhaps have some scrappy edges where the orks didn't cut the metal perfectly neatly. You could even make the back wall look like they cut it from a really big I-beam, then welded the other sides onto that.

thats some nice modelling work here
