Number 3 is gonna be following the idea of the penitent engine somewhat.

Here is the first pic.

He is gonna have cables and wires running from his "stumps" to the legs and arms of the dread.

Not sure yet. I am leaning toward Mr Choppy. I think him being out in the open and flailing around with 4 CCW would look pretty cool.

Just not sure atm though.

His are turning out way better then mine.

Well, here are some updates to this fella.

I had to loot a SM dread from my brother for some inspiration for the legs.
I think they are turning out ok.

And here is his first CCW.
I figured why not stick with an oldy but goody. Probably gonna have this swinging high over his head.

But I think that the height is working atm.

I had to use a unfinished boy to prop him up for the pics.

@[color=red]The Good Green[/color] - I will put a pic of his mud stompers up later. They actually look like nasty orthopedic shoes to me.

@[color=red]Owain[/color] - Do the arms look kinda spindly atm? If yall think so I will try to beef them up some. Any advice or ideas on it?
Right now I was planning on having his 2 CCWs coming out of those ball/socket joints on his arms. Not
sure about the other CCW yet.

@[color=red]CommissarKhaine [/color]- Thanks for the detail compliment. I mus say I was one of those people you talk about "just slapping stuff
on" until recently. I had just gotten a bag of rods and tubes and odds and ends from evergreen and it
kinda inspired me to take my time on this one.

I have kinda out thought myself a bit. I went to fast on the legs and I cant figure out where to go with the cable from his ork
legs to his mech legs. if anyone has any thoughts on that please throw them at me.

Imagine a Man catcher/cigar cutter rolled into one. No more worrying about how to get that Space marine out of your man catcher.

LOL - not sure if that "Bad" is a good one or a bad one. But I agree about the straight legs.

I put the knees in and had the first one straight and was going to have the second one stepping up on something or crushing something.
Thing is I forgot I was going to do that. When I realized what I had done it was pretty much as you see it and I have not made up mind rather to redo it or not.

I repositioned his legs,
chopped off his feet (gonna beef them up some),
and reworked that arm so it was longer.

I might need to address that angle of that arm somewhat. Looks like it pointing down too much. Did not notice it till looking at this pic.

Pretty much all plasticard and some bits. First time using the plasticard rods and tubes though. They make it a bunch easier.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277248/1387022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277248/1387022.page GMT

For this guy, I like that you chopped off the feet, and if you add them back on I'd like them to be beefier (like a wide claw foot so that he's not so weedy / ready to fall over). Also, I like the latest arm, although bending it at the elbow more might give it a more natural pose.

I hope you finish this guy instead of the standard dread/kans! Your scratchbuilds have so much more imagination/energy! You must have quite a large ork force by now

I am going to finish this guy soon. I have been rethinking him.

I think I made the pistons too large on the arm compared to the legs and I am redoing that.
Also I am taking the left over bits from the new kans and dread and I am going to beef up his legs and feet with it.

I will definitely be finishing him but it might be a bit before I get back on him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277248/1424993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/277248/1424993.page GMT
