I just wanted to take the opportunity to show off my kustom, kitbashed deff dred. I really can't tell you how many pieces went into this thing's construction. Hundreds, at least. The kustom megablasta is cobbled together from a dozen pieces on its own. The torso is a series of plasticard pieces that I originally had glued together with the intention of scratchbuilding a Warboss in mega armor, but the chest turned out to be too large. Even after finally completing this monster, I've since discovered my deff dred is slightly larger than the average store-bought dred. Mine has a lot more love (and my blood) in it than any ol' store bought dred would've had, though...feedback appreciated!























Thanks for looking!
=cheers

spiky!

I like it, a little to lean for my taste but definitely orky

Nice. I especially like the axe for some reason, probably just because it looks so cool.

Perhaps needs a bit more dakka though?!

And that, children, was the Deff Dread that love made.. ANYWAY, a really excellent model, doesn't look very clunky though, but apart from that, excellent, and a cool paint job to finish

Beautiful work! It is obvious you put a lot of time and effort into this bad boy. Keep up the good work.

I prefer that model to the GW dread! That kustom mega blasta is amazing - how did you make the ammo belt/ power supply leading into it?

I really like how you made the claw from the Deffkopta rotors! I'm probably gonna steal that idea for my own guy!

@migs6537: I think I used 18 gauge wire (I don't recall the exactgauge, but Iit's probably 18). It's 2 lengths of wire, 1 wrapped more or less haphazardly around the other.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

Love it! Awesome Awesome Awesome

I love how you took the Trukk grill and turned it into a mouth for it, really adds a whole lot of Character.!

Thanks! Going to try it on my kans!

my first thought was, its a little slim but I really like it,, lots of detail and some thing that a lot of conversions lack...it all looks like it belongs together.
really good job.

My finished Trukk













Feedback always welcome! Thanks for looking.

Amazing Dread, and the Trukk looks perfectly ramshackle!

Dredd is amazing! Truck has that junkyard wars feel! Perfect!

Excellent.

Here is a Zzap wagon. Forgeworld used to make a pretty simple Ork wagon with options to mount a Zzap gun, Lobba, or Kannon and either a big shoota or a rokkit on it. This is a conversion of one of those, made with an old skool rhino and one of the sponson turrets from the forgeworld battlefortress. I don't think I've ever bought a vehicle kit with the intention of actually using it to make the vehicle that came in it. It's all just parts to me.






I'll be putting up PIP shots of this thing and my Looted Wagon in my Orks-in-Progress thread - linked below in my signature - over the course of the next few days. Stay tuned!

Feedback always welcome. Thanks for looking!

That trukk really has that cobbled together out of what was lying around feeling. Great work.

Thanks for the feedback! That's pretty much exactly how it was built. I think I even used sheets of plastic from a "no trespassing" sign.

Awesome stuff man love the Zzapp tank.

Looking good. Like the colors. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I've been slaving away at making more orks and hopefully soon I will have more finished boys to show off.
