Hi,
this is my first finished buggy conversion for my Bad Moon army.The conversion took 40h to finish.
What do you think?Comments are welcome:-)

I like the yellow. You've really managed to get a nice, flat coat of it, and over most of the model, yet you've avoided the 'yellow-overload' that plagues Bad Moons everywhere.

The model itself is nice. It's not easily recognisable.

I don't like the wheels though. The paint is fine, but they look like they've been taken from a Lego set, and the spikes-on-wheels thing just doesn't do it for me. Personal choice though.

Overall, it's a nice model. Now make 8 more of them, so it can be practically used in an army.

Hi,

i have the same feeling about the wheels but its very difficult to find good sized wheels for a buggy...
It was important for me not to add gw wheels.
thx for your comment.

Way better than what GW have atm. I would field them if im ever able to convert them into something like yours but i cant lol . How did you make the turrets?

hi,

the gun is from a burna model and the turret is from a killacopta.
I´m uploading new pics to compare the buggy with a killacopta.

Thanks, consider the idea stolen!

On the whole it looks excellent. I don't think the spikes on the wheels work that well though. They are bit big and would stop the things from turning I think they would look better at 1/2 or 1/3 of the current size.

This is a great conversion, I like it alot, a really good idea.

Maybe for the wheel spikes you could add alot of smaller ones on each tread, on top of those studs.

I like it. Looks very fast and mean. The spikes on the wheels im not a fan off though. However if made shorter, it would be more believable and look better IMO.

Keep up the good work!

Nice. Always like seeing what different people do with their ork conversions. The way the turret is taken from a killa copta looks awesome too. No wonder it took you 40 hours to do it lol. Awesome paint job.
