That's about the size of it. No offence meant anyway. I understand that some people have questionable social skills, it can make it hard to communicate with them. But it doesn't matter. We exalt the blog, not the person.

thanks for clearing that up, but i am a nice guy, what i said before was meant as a joke, and to the person i said it to, i have spoken to that person and also said sorry for any offence if there was any caused, which there wasn't, then loads of people started jumping on the band wagon and calling me rude, then posting that they were off, what it the point in that apart from making me feel bad, to be honest, i hope they closed the door on there way out, i don't want people like that reading this blog, most of all sheep.

if you have a question about modelling, then i will help, that's what this blog is partly about, that's why i post before and after photo's of my models, to sort of show you guys how i do it, not many on here do that and soon video's, i'm here to help you all if you want it, if you don't then im sorry lol

Cool, as I said, keep creating, that's all that really matters.

Update guys, hope you like, this is a different look i went for, i think the guns are a tad big, but sod it. my whole aim was to make another trukk AA gun, and make it efferent, i think i did that

That's very cool waz... really interesting vehicle and there's never anything wrong with MOAR DAKKA!!

Ork Army War Trike TUT

ok guys, here is my Ork army War Trike Tut, i've tryed to keep things as simple as possible and use a small amount of bits and bobs, hopefully you may have most of it and the stuff you don't, just buy it from eBay.

First of all get yourself a Deffkopa, you can get them off ebay very easy, just don't pay more than £4 for an un-built one.

Trim it like i have, take your time, do it where the red lines are. put the bits lift over to the side, you can use them for basing on other models, don't for get to keep the Exhaust (marked with a small ring).

also the bits that are in the photo are what i will be using, i think that the orks on the Deffkopta are nobz in size, so im going to use a nob arm with pistol and a nob head (hahaha)(sorry)



I've built up the nob and trimmed up the handle bar (marked with a red ring), this is hard to do so if you copy this, take your time, if you mess it up, it will be hard to recover. don't forget you will need to trim the neck on the ork to fit the nob head (hahahahaha) or just use the ork head that comes with the kopta.





once you have him in the right place and looking good, its time to think about how big you want your trike to be, so place out your wheels and make a plan, see what feels right and looks right too.



next is the back wheels, you will need 3 different sized tubs, but they must all fit inside each other, you will see why in a moment. cut them like i have, file if needed, take your time.



now glue them together like i have.



then make a small round disk like i have, this will be glued on to the wheel to make a very strong join.



this will go inside the wheel, so check it fits, or you will be doing this again.




make sure the wheels are straight and it looks right, if it looks right to you, then that's all that matters.



next tidy up the back where some small holes will be from cutting, do what you can, add detail like back packs, ammo boxes and so on if you like.




next you will need to tidy up the front where the rockets were, this is done with a small bit of plastic card like i have, chip away at it to make it look warn.



ok the front wheel, make 2 small disk like i have, glue them on, 1 on each side, trim the rotor blade like i have and sick it on. file the tips (small red rings) so they are straight with each other, TAKE YOUR TIME, if you dont your wheel will look wonky.



no glue this to the front of the kopta, you will need to glue some support bars like i have, make sure this is straight, or this is heading for the bin, you may need to glue a beam / piece of plastic card to the blade tips then glue it to the kopta, it depends of what wheel us use.



then glue a beam at the bottom of the kopta, ringed in red, then glue your back wheels on, and leave to dry, but make sure it looks ok tho.




almost looking like a chopper already.



next cut some plastic card like i have, size is by eye, just use your head



then glue on.



do this on both sides, this is just to give it strength and a bit of detail.



next are some suport beams made from some smaller tube, cut to side and glued on.




next i stuck a small bit of card on to tidy it up.



trim up the Exhaust and glue on, (drill the holes)




now build up the front of the kopta with some plastic card, its not necessary to use card like the card i've used, but it dose look good (please don't ask where i get it from, i have a list)




next are the rivets, and for once i can give you the details of what i use, this is the rods.



chop a load up like i have and use a brand new model knife blade to pick them up, use liquid polly to sick, never use super glue EVER on any plastic model.




now you should be looking like this lol maybe





add some weapons, and some PVA glue and fine sand (dirt) and bingo, your there

No matter how many times I read this, it doesn't make any sense.

Nice tutorial, I love your stuff.

Love the AA guns I think the best so far and no way to big Thanks for the TUT I think I know what I am doing now

Any chance of showing us how you made your trike forks though ? this was the real thing I was after

Really like the gun on the AA trukk, i think i prefer the square ammol drums/holders/things to the round ones. Also, where did you get the guns on the trike in the tutorial? Especially the rokkit one?

I think those are from the current Deff Dread.

Got my grot tank from wazz yesterday! For those who are interested, here's a size comparison with my FW grot tanks. Keep in mind that the guns haven't been added to the wazztank. Should make an excellent "boss tank".

thanks bud, should get myself some of them

They're tiny... but very, very cool!

up date.................... i like how this turned out, i have 3 more to do, so when i get a moment i will paint and put on here.

I get it from my local train model shop

waz your mega armor nob looks good all painted up. i like it

I would put those gits on 40mm round bases instead of what they are on, for a in-game-rules purpose.

Could sell more of them if that is your intent.

I think they're excellent!

Everything you do looks awesome, the new stuff looks awesome. The speed at which you make new things it ridiculous, but it makes for constant enjoyment.

these look good! The one with the double chain-glaive looks a tad wonky.

I don't know why, maybe the position of the weapon?

Maybe if he was leaning on it poked into the ground or something?

I'm really just nitpicking. He looks good as is.


The in game rules for these guys is they each should have a gun, which they do, and a powerklaw (or something equally killy looking like a big ass hammer or whatever, i think the chain glaive is fine for a count-as power klaw, some people might give someone crap about the one holding the axe though... like hows that guy strength 8??? which i realize means about 0 to you probably as you don't play)

and for some fun modeling opportunities... these guys guns can be upgraded to either be a kombi-machine gun and flame thrower, or a machine gun + rocket launcher. (the flame thrower and rockets are one time use per game and can't take both on same model)... I know I'm looking for the chance to model a meganob belching fire (even if his "count as" flame thrower was him burping into a cigar or something)


Could we get a photo of the backpacks?

Have to say the git on the right is my favorite, kind of giving the bird almost, and the pose on the guy with the double chain glaive captures forward movement pretty well. could make him pointing his chainsay glaive forward like he's charging or something to play more on it.


Again, nitpicking. these look really good already. now show us dem fannies'

These guys are so good. I ordered some AOBR nobs a few days ago, definitely gonna turn them into Mega nobs.

Those nobs look pretty good, only thing I can say is that the nob with the glaive has a bent handle, or it at least looks bent in the photo. Otherwise, those look pretty tough.

update........Commission on a Boss Trike, hope you guys like







before and after in one lol

I kind of feel like that boss trike needs some mudguards to beef it up and look "bossy," but that's only IMO. It looks awesome, especially with the Boy gunner!

i can see what your on about, but i went for a more speedy slick look, might do a "More Up Armour" one another time, but for now..............

sorry Skyfi, i was ment to reply to you a while ago, but forgot, the Nobs in power armour are just a mess around, i was just playing to see how hard and long it takes to make them after seeing your Monsters, so as for spec (apart from the 40mm bases) they dont conform mate, if i was to make them again, then i would do it the way you have already said. as that helped me

A small update on a chaos Nergle i've had sat around for a while, hope you like, this was made for fun and to sell.

Off the charts waz, simply off the charts.

Nasty! Simply Nasty.

Think the nurgle car is quite funny and the GS work is rather old-school and comical, Nurgle is a twisted bastard, so it's right up his alley. Good job.

Can I just take the time to say how awesome this is! The skill and speed you do these things is amazing! Really immpressed, you have inspired me to do my own conversions. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to do this blog!

Thanks again guys for all your friendly comments, they keep me wanting to make more if I'm honest, thanks.

here is an update on my scratch built battle wagon, sorry about the back ground but i was at work and did want my work place in the photo's. anyway still loads more to do, IO'm on a long weekend now so can't get back to this til next week, so hope this is ok with you guys lol i know your all hungry for more.

not to mention the leisure-grot, soakin up the rays!

lookin really good waz.

I meant to ask how did the casting process work for you when you casted your own grot tank a while back?

If you could provide some links as to where you found the good info at, it would be appreciated.

Kinda wanted to give casting a go with the squigs I'm sculpting. (thought of casting my picket fence chariots too) but afraid of ruining original in mold making process

well that guy in the USA didn't want to do the casting any more, instead of telling me he didn't like my stuff (and i must admit it, i did rush it to get it to him, so if i could turn back the clock then i would of taken my time, oh well) he just fodded me off with a story he was going in another direction, hate it when people can't be honest, even if he just did it in a really nice way would of been good.

as for my own casting, all i did was make a one peace mould and pour the resin from the top, its the simplest way to make a mould, but making them is a right pain in the !!

here is a link to where i get my stuff from, if you ring them and tell them what your doing and the cost your willing to spend, they are very helpfull and get people like you and me ring all the time. as for going one step ahead of me, youtube is the place to go, so good tuts on there

oh man! did you get your originals back you posted him?



If i remember the tank correctly, I understand how you could cast the tracks in a one piece, as the "top" of the pour will marry into the side of the hull and not be visible..


but im how you did the hull in a 1 piece mold. i think i need to go back and look at it again.


I'll check them out, I appreciate you. for some reason I the thought of coating my styrene model in oil or something so the mold doesn't stick to it while forming then washing it irks me? I don't know why. I guess I'm just paranoid about losing original work.

Guess I need to quit being a big ol kitty cat.

all the shoota's can be removed as there held in with magnets, and on the back deck fence, there and hollow polls that can take a pin mounted gun.

Now THAT is a Battlewagon! Not only the height of cool but practical from a gaming perspective! Very well done wazz! Just love the umbrella and deck chair too! The fencing around it makes it look even more like an orky back yard.

LMAO Great love the umbrella and sun lounger

That battlewagon is amazing! Just everything about it is spectacular!

So waz, how did you make your big gun wheels? I can figure out the "treads" on them, I mean how did you make the actual wheels to have depth (thickness)?

hahaha WAZ!!!!!!!

I love it

umbrella and chair came out really great!

@ git, from what I gathered he sandwhiched plasticard discs together, possibly with filler junk material. I think the fella in video used stirring sticks for wood planks on outside of a singler wafer which provided a lot of thickness. Honestly, I fast forwarded through the video due to bein busy

Oh, that's right... he was going to use the cork sheet as filler! I'd forgotten. Thanks for the reminder.

yep bang on, i cut 2 round bits of plastic card and the made a cross out of some thinker card and stuck it all together, then did the treads.

Got it, thanks wazz!

I have to admit I was a bit sceptical about this tank in the beginning, but it really turned out great!

Just as amazing as ever!
Can't wait to see some paint on that wagon. Good work, keep it up!

Looks great Wazz, how about a bit of a better pic of the back under the platform please.

Hi guys, thanks for all the great comment, here is some updates on the 9 Lobba's i'm making after following that video i posted.

Excellent work waz, prolific too! That's a lot of lobbas!

the the checks were cut from small bits of square plastic card, i really like how they look, so might make some more with that look.

didn't even notice in the WIP shots

derp.

Good idea, going to have to order a supply drop soon..

did you just roll them around the barrel while the glue was setting or did you curve them before hand a bit?



derp x 2, did you just cut sections of a larger plastic pipe that fit around the barrel to get around bending? (figure bending easier then cutting that square on pipe)

This is really great stuff!

That BW is looking even better each time I see it. I've been lurking for quite some time, I just decided to get an account after I got some nice looking models. I've still yet to post them.

Keep up the great work waz!

Ok guys here is some thing i made last night at work, my Ork Kannons, a set of 3, i really like the way these turned out, i think if i was to do them again i would re-do the wheels, other than that, love them.

love em!


you're pumping these out! ebaying em? or got a comission? or just a monkey on your shoulder demanding you do it?

wazzoo2000 can i just say that this blog is without doubt......... 'outstanding!' just by reading this blog alone, an ork player never has to buy any ready made kit again!.............ok maybe one or two!

cheers

Update...............Zappa gun

They're phenomenal, but shouldn't they have more GAK stuck on all over? They look... too clean, to smooth or something. I'm sure that you're painting will dirty them up, but I think the lines are too clean.

I have been imagining them pulled by WHFB Boars, though. Thanks for sharing all your hard work. I'd love to know what your day job is (you said you do these at work, right?).

Ive only read a few pages of this blog (the most recent ones) But i have to say your stuff is really, really good. Will be following this one for sure!

Wow! Those zzap guns look amazing! I have to agree though, that they look a little clean, and a few random wires encircling the barrels wouldn't be a bad touch. But astounding nevertheless!

Beautiful work!

just ordered my 2x Stompaz for my next epic build after this commission i'm working on for a friend. so keep an eye out on the post hahahahahahaha

Wazzoo how the bloody hell do you nock these out so dam fast cant believe how quickly you do this and paint the things I am knackered just looking LOL

Amazing work do you have a system to painting these now ? 2 stompaz

Hahaahahahaaa thanks mate

and yeah 2 stompaz hehe

I love the wagon with the pagoda.

Hope you fixed those floating shelves well, I had some and one due to weight pulled the bloody wall plug out and every dam thing fell of Lucky it was not my models

WIP photo's, for part of my next ork project, this is just a small part of what is going to be epic hahahaha

as so of you Warhammer 40k spotter will see, this bad boy is smaller than the FW model and smaller than some ive see on here, and the reason for that will come to light in a later post, and again, i'm not pay heed to Game Rules just working on the look.

Actually Wazzoo I have to be honest here mate (which I know you hate LOL) but I was never a fan of the FW version I gather this is based on it never worked in my opinion.

However this I have to say looks pretty dam cool miles better than the FW crap hell I would have bought this version, thats saying something as you know how much of a cheap bastard I am

Great job mate watching with much interest

very cool copter waz. you should do a gargant. (more or less a giant version of a stompa.. you can find scaling pictures online for how big a stompa is compared to a gargant.... the ones at the shops here stand about 2-3 feet tall have shoulder spans over 2' wide)

Have you seen this guy by irondog studios made from a mr. potato head?

ok ok ok guys, stop guessing, lol look at the pic below and think 2x as big and also aircraft carrier, so there you have it, alos with some nice guns on.

2X as big? AND AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER? Reminds me of this! http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=51743

waz, just cause someone else did it up too doesn't mean you can't do it up too. this extended kopter looks really good. i bought 9 deffkoptas at the gaming store this weekend cause of you, thanks mate.

Yours will be different, no doubt... even if its just cause the flyboyz can hop out of their koptas and take a nice relaxing sunbath and have a cold one..

"Leisure grots" seems to be a potential theme here....

Would love to see you do a diorama of the corona commercials to go with it... perfect thing to go behind an aegis defense line i would say...

-skyler

thanks guys, i will keep at it then hahaha

ok update, this is finished and will be a "taking off bird" so ignore the base

You did a good job wazzo, but i never been a fan of the ork kopter made by forge world or any of its ideas. Just always pictured orks flying off and dying, which is a sad ork, but still comical and correct. Handel bars or railing are always a nice touch to those. Over all well done.

Nice copter, but I'm way more interested in this "orkcraft" carrier, sounds epic.

You're gonna need more shelves, then more walls for more shelves, eventually it will take you longer to hang a new shelf than to build a new model

ok 2nd chunoork done, will get painted today, made this one look all packed up as this one will be sat on a lift or to the side of the carrier, not made my mind up yet.

Very nifty. Neat idea about having it packed up for storage.

that is a bloody good idea now you are thinking on your toes aint you, I have to say the concept is only out done by the finished model.

I can just see loads of Ork ground crew running over this carrier now it makes me smile "Top Shooter"

For many years have I tooled around DakkaDakka, but not until this very morning did I find your blog. Not until this very morning did I have an account. You sir are an inspiration and a bonafide modeling genius. I look forward to seeing more of your work and hope to, when I am far less broke than I am now, order a commission or two.

In the mean time good hunting and WAAAAGH! on.

thanks guys, means alot all this love.

will not be posting much as i have a big commission, figures and stuff, a bit boring but loads of them, might post a photo of how epic is all is lol

update guys.

this is the chunnork that will be packed away on a lift or the deck of the ship, first photo's are without the blades, so you can see more of the detail. for some reason my phone camara has taken some really nice photo, the colours are well nice it them, hope you all like.







next is with the blade on, still in a packed away look, this may well sit on the deck like this, not thought yet, i may make 2 in this look.



and now how it will look on a lift.






and some close ups of some of the detal, like the guns and back up gun, love it lol

Really cool Waz! This puts that already godawful FW model to a broiling pit of oozing shame festering with lice and maggots.

I'd like to know, where did you get the backup gun from? I know that it's from the old boyz kit that had 16 boyz in it, but is it just old or from a bits seller?

This is so cool and the paint job looks great, who ever the commission is for tell them " you lucky bastard "

you mean this ? yeah i have lol, problem is i want to keep it all small and compact looking, i also want it to all be converted to death, the GW bombers are very good, but just wont fit into what im making.

They might work as escort aircraft though

i was more thinking of something like below, keeping the helicopter feel, but there again maybe no escort as my shelf wont fit it all on.

I think you need to make something like these for your escort aircraft...

Ok guys, here we go, the start of a very long trip, hope you all join me and have fun on the way

MY ORK DESTROYER

ok so what is it? well its at ship that hovers in the air and kills everything, the plan is to make something that looks like the photo's below but Ork style, its as simple as that. its not going to follow any GW rules, its just a show model.

i am trying to make it look like it flys, or Hovers with the will of the orks, we will see how i get on.





ok, first off i need 2 Ork Stompa kits (ouch !!££!£!!£) i first strip off the main body of the stompa and build this up, if your going to follow this, then this part is important, so take your time, just building the body of my ship tock me 5 hours.





so once you have the first half made, using bits of the sproo, the 2nd half should be really easy, as just have a 3D model to copy lol the back of my ship is just a tad different from the front, im sure you can guess why.



then i joined both parts together, for this you need to set them down with support (white plastic bag) make sure your happy with the shape, the stick gak loads of sproo on it to give it support, do this with out moving the model, let it dry before moving it.






now the whole model is taking shape, its at this stage you can still play with it if your not happy, but i am, so im cracking on.




ok next is filling in all the gaps, making them look like welds and other stuff orky, crap job, take your time, and once done, leave to dry, this is done using Milliput, its very strong and helps support it too, making the whole model stronger.





i love the shape so far, if i filed in all the holes, i swear it would float



not sure yet whats going to be going on at the back, maybe some orks fast roping down from it or a depth charge thing going on, not sure





ok guys, hope you like so far, all im going to ask, is start thinking of a name, the last one was called "the belly buster" so lets have a good one like that.

The Belly Buster

umm that's gonna be a a big un

Awesome! I like the idea of a depth charge dangling off the back end too.

Maybe His Warlordships Royal Aircraft Karrier?

Ork Royal maybe?

Great start of the build Wazzoo!

At the back should be a couple of big propellers IMHO

The name "Big'un Killy "

Truly awesome. But it has to be Morkz Revenge surely.

Well this is the tip of the ORK BATTLESHIP! HELP US ALL WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE

Ohhh man! Im pretty excited to see this come together.

Wazzoo I cant figure it out, are you a genius or just bloody insane

This is going to be expensive thats for sure but nice start

ah...gigantism... it had to come to this eventually...... it always draws me to way too big models^^...

eager to see your next update!

Something amazing is in the offing... I can feel it!

ok guys thanks for all the nice comment and love already, bloody hell ive only just started this

ok Update day 3

i needed to make a flat surface on the top of the ship, it makes it easier to work with, and also i can start to think about magnets and what goes where, so what i did was get an A4 size sheet of plastic card and lay it on the top, fine the 4 points at which it is sitting on, mark it and the make a frame and build it up from that.



now i start to build it up with small bits of plastic card, small is easier to work with, however some times a big bit helps.





then at the front i did the same, but hard to prop up one end with an up beam to support it, then build it up again as per the side.



then there was no stopping me, build build build




there was area's that i wasn't happy with, too too battered and bent, so i built them up again, just to making it more boat like



the shape is coming on nicely, hard to see it in a photo, will do a video later



well should get loads more done tomorrow, the flat area will make it so much easyer to work with.

thanks guys for all your comment, means a lot to me, should have an update for you later on today

hey you have to get in early these days

Poor update no pretty pictures

update so far

ok i have a good flat surface now to work on, this will make it mega easy now to do what i want to do, in my opinion this was the hardest and most boring part of building this, now its fun fun fun







i still have big holes in the side of it, im not sure if i want it to be a boat boat/ship or a airship/hover craft ship thing, not 100% where to go yet, so im leaving this open as a gun port, almost sure we are going airship again like the Belly Buster



and again at the back, not sure yet where im going with this, we will see



ok this is the only plan written down lol, im going to turn it into 3 parts, for ease of build and so i can take it apart too. the dotted line is me being undecided where to start sec 3, as this needs to be big ish for the heli's



so here is the plan on paper on the airship




again tips or what to do next would help lol

Get a chair a large stock of alcohol and drink till you pass out

I would go airship myself its more appealing, start the section with the highest point then build outwards hope that helps

I don't know if the paper shape is just a rough guide but the front section looks a little to round for Orks, just my opinion I would go for a straight end rather than curved but cut at an angle.

i say airship... what else could i say

looking good there ... and also i think in the front you need a giant jaw... like a big fething airship shark... with big teef...what better way to put the fear of Gork and Mork into punny ´umies?


also... are you really palnning of sawing that thing apart into three parts then?... oh my... that´ll hurt^^... but i think it is a good plan...

Hey Vik you will finally see what a complete airship looks like

I will say Zeppelin. An ork aircraft Zeppelin.

the build looks great btw

Wow! Fething amazing!!

SBAV!!!!

This is going to be amazing, wanna be there to see It with my own eyes, touching that beauty!

Fething awesome.

Wouldn't a blimp get in the way of incoming Koptaz? Maybe multiple blimps, on outriggers? I prefer giant props ala avengers. Or giant ork rokkits, holding it up.

hurhurhur...

actually plans are in the making... i recently had to scratchbuild a bigger building for schoolwork... and that involved making round shapes ...wich in essence could be used as the blimp for a new try to make an airship^^

Wow. This is gonna be amazing. You should have massive force field generator pylon things sticking out of the ship.

I love the form it is taking. Well done.

thanks again guys , keep all the comments coming, i am paying attention , and i am going to work some of your idea's into this model.

Update time

OK guys and gals, i've set it in stone now, this is the shape i've gone for, this is now the basic model done, its very thick plastic card on top, and i've added magnets so it fits like a glove, only the top part will come off and on, i have no intention of sawing my ship into 3 lol (who ever said that, not naming names hahaha ) so i have gone for a more ship shape front.




sec 3 will be the heli area, i need to take my choonorks in to work with me to get it set up right, so this part is not set in stone yet



a bit of detail work going on here, this is the underneath, some nice Rivets going on here, tock an hour to do this, bloody Rivets




and here it is sitting all nice and snug, where the line is, i am thinking of making an ice braker thing to go there, just to give it a more orky look and to add some shape.



still not sure what im doing here at the back, seen some nice FW bombs that Grots sit in that a friend of mine has, may well do some sort of engine blade thing with them bombs on sliding down the middle of it.

Good Lord you work fast!

^that.... the amount of detail you can chuck out in that time...amazing...

as for the tailpart of that thing... i think engine blades is a good idea... that beast needs some visual means of propulsion...something nasty looking and big and sooty...! huffing and puffing!

Its going to be so... beautiful..

This thing just looks freaking brilliant. As for a name, how about the Hellorkarrier?

hurhurhur...yup... most fitting.... but then it needs those sidemounted engines too!

Better and better!

I think that a couple of huge propellers and a lot of exhausts pipes would be perfect for the back

Classy build, waz. Very classy. Like Vik, I'm hoping for a ridiculously large, sputtering, soot belching thruster of epic proportions. Get on it!

I am a fan of treads as well. Land ships are so much more fearsome than water ships.

But sky ships are even cooler than land ships.

What about giant paddlewheels? Put them at an angle on the sides, maybe make them spiky buckets (like that giant bucket-wheel mining machine)...

And the front could have an Aerial Deffrolla...

ok small update

ok added an ice beaker to the front, i have every intention on putting spikes on it, just not yet.



ok i made the lift platform, i will at some point make the room below it and the lift thingy ma-jig, it will look good (i hope)





as you can see, it is tight on the back, might build a bigger heli pad, will see how things go with this.




got the basic shape to the back today, still dont know what to do, will play with it at a later date

Still looking great, lift looks spot on.

Oh had a thought on the name, Thunderchild, from War of the Worlds??

DUDE!!!!!! you are crazy! one week i din't look at your blog and BAM!.... there is this amazing framework for the carrier.
i'm so excited to see more!!!!

^ what he said, I am really impressed. the ship would look wicked with legs by the way, but that would be crazy.

Big Ork ships just scream Grimlug to me!

Remember that giant ship from Deff Skwadron?

lifter section looks dead sexy!... never thought about adding that to an airship...why? I have no clue... seeing it know it looks totally dumb I haven´t yet included it to me last try ...

Definitely that massive thing! Unfortunately for our heroes at Deff Skwadron, wazz's massive ship won't be as easy to take down...

That lift platform reminds me of the Ork Warship over at the-WAAAGH: http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=48393

The first ship I was stationed on had a hanger bay that we had 2 helos in. I think ya need to add some type of traversing sled. Like what is on it to get them from your lift to the pad...your helos don't have wheels after all.

Here are 2 pics I found on the interwebs that might give you a idea.

You are truly a madman for taking this task on, and for that I commend you. One thing you might want to look at though is that the body wok that you made is held together with little strips while the body work of the Stompa doesn't have any of these. If you simply added some small strips of plasticard here and there on the Stompa then i believe your work and the Stompa body would merge much better

I second the name thundachild for this beast. May in fair better than its 'omie name sake.

Or ThundaKlappa

ok Update time, Day 7, 56 hours of work so far

ok section 2 basic build today, ground floor, i went with a Ork hight all over, ie 1 and a half inch high



section 2 floor 1



section 2 floor 2, i've added magnets to them so they sit nice and tight.



and here it is, looking all epic and that, cant wait to get some guns on it, going to add the 2 BIG guns from the stompa model at the front, like you see on a WW2 battle ship.





as you can see, i've changed the back, no lift, i felt it didnt look right, plus the engines are going to be in that area so no matter how much ork will power this things has, its still needs a place for them to go, even in the make believe world.

i like it better anyway





did a little on the back, not much tho



hard a look at a FW Cannon, i do love them, and there not to hard to copy, we will see where i go, got loads of weapons with the stompa's
