Hi guys,

I have not posted anything a while I hope you like this new project I'm building. I would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks

**Perkustin**

WOAH... She's a big girl.... Pretty cool.

**neil101**

wow thats amazing , great work , the only comment i would make is make the pilots arms ork arms , this is gonna be a fun project to paint mate. good luck

**sum1thtdiesalot**

That is one sweet spaceship. Very cool. I musst agree with neil though. The pilots need to be orks. Cant wait to see more!

**Sturmtruppe**

Wow, that's pretty awesome! How long did it take to plan and build?

**froggy**

thanks guys you are right the arms need to be orks the structure of the ship is made out of a nurf gun I took from my son

**schank23**

Wow! Awesome spaceship. But I bet your son is pissed. If you wake up with a goat head in your bed get out fast.

**joshoftheforest**

I... my brain... exploded... what kind of rules would you use for this??

**cainex1**

This thing is made of equal parts win and cool with awsomesauce on top
one thing though (aside from the pilots, that has been covered) orks still breathe so you may want to give them some respirator heads or better still 50s style bubble helmets

**froggy**

what colors sure i use for this since i dont play the game

**Leigen_Zero**

I don't really need to say any more I suppose...

Can't wait to see it painted!

**Capt. Rex**

Please tell me that the Nerf gun is still able to fire.
After all, it's just more dakka!

**winnertakesall**

Good use for a nerf gun, although one thing is really bugging me.

Needs more.....................dakka.

Go for whatever you want, Orks don't have set colours. I can imagine most would be metal colored, try to go for darker metallics, rust here and there. Orks would probably scrap the thing together. You could then either go for painting it in tons of different colors which should the different parts, or simply go for a more uniform color. I prefer to paint Ork vehicles in dark metallic colors and then some dark red, green or yellow. Perhaps a shade of grey/blue could also be very cool.

Furthermore, I think this thing would rather be an airship rather than a space ship, in the 40k universe space ships are rather big, as in gigantic, small escorts are already a kilometer long in real life. Fighters are generally already the size of Boeing 747s so do the math.

Love the design of the ship by the way!

**Ratius**

Absolutely love it. Great work!

**Heliodore**

Amazing, fantastic job, I love great big projects!

**Paranoia_Agent**

Holy crap that is truly epic!

Im completly blown away all i can say is wow!!!!!!

**warprincenataku**

That's just all kinds of awesome. As far as paitning goes, I'm thinking red, because da red onez go fasta!

**Asphalt**

That is rediculous. I knew the cockpit was the ammo can, but I would never have guessed you based the whole ship around the Vulcan. Absolutely amazing bash.

**Eilif**

Brilliant job. I see some good use of Robogear parts in there, and an abolutely inspired choice of a nerf gun for the base model.

Can't wait to see this thing done and painted!

Two suggestions
1) Take a bit of time to really detail the inside of the cockpit. A well detailed opening cockpit would really be a brilliant finishing touch to this creation.

2) Head to the craft store and buy the smallest punch they have and start punching lots (hundreds) rivets out of drink container lids and other thin scrap plastic. I see quite a number of surfaces that need some orky riveting. The rivets will be a bit larger than standard rivets, but will look fine on a model of this size and add some nice surface texture. To apply easily, pour out some glue in a container, stick the rivet with your knife, dip the bottom in glue and press to the model.

**Crom**

that thing looks awesome!

**CadianXV**

Only other thing I can see is get some detailing on the engines. Rivetted plates, dangerously exposed cables, etc.

Other than that, fantastic work! Can't wait to see this beauty painted!

**inmygravenimage**

Fabulous and hilarious in equal measure. Could do with a few grots clinging on for dear life maybe? Also, lots of goggles and scarves would be cool (eg from loota/burna set), in a Orky WWI flying ace kinda way.

**skotter**

very very nice, thats al what i can say

**zilegil**

Badassity.

Too small to be a ship you say? It's a nice size for an ork kil krooza, the ork landa is about the size of a thunderhawlk, ref. Gargant owners Big Mek Maha's guide in gargant constuction and repairs, and I guess that the kil krooza is about twice the size. Kil kroozas are mainly employed by warlords, flash gitz and freebooterz.
Nice work.
P.S. I forgot to say, big mek Mahas guide is using the old stompa size, it changed when gw made the mini.

**Malika2**

Dude, you never played BFG did you? The fluff clearly states that cruiser sized ships are several kilometers long.

As you say, the Ork landa is about the size of a thunderhawk gunship. This ship probably is about the same size, or a bit smaller even. So do the math...

**VikingScott**

That is badass.

**froggy**

thanks all of you for your coments i stil got more stuff to put on it its 40 inches long do you guy think i need wings

**2PaintPots**

Amazing!

**Ailaros**

holy crap. Nerf gun to ork battle cruiser? I'm very impressed.
