LOL! No, this is Arakasi's blog... I just mooched it for a few days so he could see my progress on his ork. Believe me... his projects are much more interesting... wander back several pages and you'll see what I mean.

Right - still alive - thanks for asking!

Progress has been minimal due to work being a bit crazy - just some painting to the Stormboyz Nobz and three of my Shoota Boyz.

@Gitsplitta: I currently have to transport by plane - but I'm sure the magnetic sheet idea will be useful once that is not the case - look forward to seeing the implementation. Purity seal looks great - as I said - I think I'll be stealing that idea in the future No issues on the thread takeover - I wasn't doing much recently anyway - but you didn't answer the most important question - how did he perform in the battle I had hoped to finish yours up before my 4 weeks in Oz, but it is looking unlikely. On the up side, I may be able to "field test" yours when I return - though grounded as part of a Boyz or Nobz mob...

@insaneume: Only 20+ pages to go! Steal away! What painted models

@Rose_Mountainz: Yeah - it can get confusing - you have to watch who the poster is. But I wouldn't have it any other way

Heh, My blog is hardly mine, I never post anything on it

He kicked some eldar hiney's all over the field of course! Very auspicious beginning to a long and bloody career. Take all the time you need my friend, I'm not in a hurry.

It's good to be here!


Here's a thought for you... every pondered using two Stompas to make a blimp you could use it as a thunder hawk?

@HadoukenAvenger:

@Gitsplitta: Cool and cool. Means he's likely to get some Modeling Masterclass attention when I get back

@Santobell: No - but thank you for adding a most ambitious/awesome project to an already long to do list... You may have just wrecked my marriage.

The joy of orks! Always more projects than one can cram into a human lifetime. I count more than 15 started/ongoing projects lying in my immediate vicinity (and almost 73 unstarted ones ). And people ask why I never paint anything.....

hahahahaha... It's funny because it's true.

haha, these guys are pretty cool, they look neatly painted and interestingly modelled, good job!

Well, show us some then

You people! You can't keep reversing EVERYTHING I say back at me! Now you'll probably twist that so it looks as if I said that you CAN keep reversing everything on me! With a witty remark ala 'Fixed that for you'! And even if I say NO UPDATES EVER AGAIN you'll probaby quote me as saying UPDATES FOR EVERYONE ALL THE TIME !

Insatiable!

@HadoukenAvenger: Luckily I've managed to keep my started/ongoing projects under control - well, modeling wise anyway. If we include painting as well... Gee, it seems like a long time since I last finished something... I do have a long list of unstarted projects - its even on here somewhere, though I haven't updated it recently (and yes, it keeps growing...)

@The Good Green: Indeed!

@turaku: Thanks!

@Santobell: I know you know - I follow your 40k Skaven. Look forward to seeing your secret project revealed!

@monkeytroll: Hear hear!

@HadoukenAvenger: Paranoid much?!? Still, I look forward to your new policy of UPDATES FOR EVERYONE ALL THE TIME. If my logic hasn't failed me, NOW is a subset of ALL THE TIME. I believe you have a long list of started and unstarted projects to share

@everyone: Slow week, due to work and stuff ups. Made some more progress on the Stormboyz Nobz (painting). Have filled the gap between the Trukk engine and the radiator (modeling), as well starting on the twin (engine) . Should have a pic up this evening... (gotta have a pic on the new page!)




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Pics as promised:

Trukk Engine:

Think I need to add a ring around the cog... After that, exhausts and finishing up the steering mechanism before moving on to detailing the hood (unless I change my mind and start on the cab or tray...)

Bonus: Back of Stormboyz Nob

I wasn't going to put this up, but the pic seems to have turned out alright (on my phone anyway). The was going to be a frontal version too, but nevermind. DA Green is all highlighted up. The remaining white areas have been blocked out in Calthan Brown. Interestingly (for me) - I forgot he has an ammo belt on the front which I should have done first...

That was an open invitation to do exactly what I said you'd do, I can't believe no one caught that joke!

Hey man, are you trading for that hummer trukk of his, its awesome...

Also the one your making is outstanding and a big hands up to you sir..

jim..

Love the cold air intake on the engine very nice indeed!

your work is looking great. Very nice paint jobs

The trukk engine/suspension wowsers 8-) Great stuff

@HadoukenAvenger: I thought I did

@jimmy72nd: Unfortunately, no. Fortunately I'm trading for these two items: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/750/253544.page#1932255 (Wow, way back on the start of page 26!) Thanks!

@Santobell: Thanks!

@Element206: Thanks! (Slow) practice makes (slow) progress...

@ceorron: Thanks! It's not a Squiggoth though

Just got through your blog, holy flipping cow your orks are amazing, I love the truks, big mek, stormboyz nob, the lot... wow.

I know it was covered a while back, but have you considered a couple of cheap sprung loaded pens (not really sure what they are called)... you could use the plastic from the pen and the spring which surrounds it for the shokkz.

Btw Pathead is a nice place, i drive through every month or so, not convinced the chippy is that nice, but the bakery is pretty good.

i think its absaloutly fantastic

Sigh, I don't suppose it is. ... jk It is still pretty awsome all the same. Great looking build.

Arakasi, I think we know each other pretty well, so....... LOOK AT THIS EVERYBODY PLUG PLUG PLUG I'M SORRY I'M SORRY FORGIVE ME!

Splendid work on that truck, if you can keep up this level of excellence that's going to be an outstandingly brilliant model!

@dantay_xv: At this point, congratulations for making it through are probably in order! I'll investigate the pen idea. I will probably look for springs like whalemusic360 suggested whilst I'm in Oz (I know, I know - believe me, it will actually be more convenient for me to pick them up on the other side of the world!). The twin vehicle will give me a chance to experiment... My wife loves Pathhead. The chippy isn't (I refuse to eat from there anymore, though sometimes my wife succumbs...), but the bakery is awesome (an literally less than a minute's walk from our place )

@moonshine, @ceorron: Thanks again!

@HadoukenAvenger: No problem. Looking forward to more. Wait - this isn't a trick to get us invested in another un-updated thread is it?

@CommissarKhaine: That's the plan!

i love the suspension youve done there very well done

You're coming to Oz? Whereabouts?

@nurgles_warrior: Thanks!

@HadoukenAvenger: I'll be in Perth for all of November. Da Boss has allowed me to bring Da Dark Angelz to face my brother's Nidz. If I can get it past her, I know their are a few Dakkites in Perth too...
