Well, here we go then just to get you lot of my back a thread of nothing really that good or interesting …… just some suff that I chucked together over the 3 or 4 years nothing finished or painted but you get the idea.
I am trying to be more committed so maybe this will help, updates will be few and far between but I will try hard to keep this going with something that might or might not interest you .
Excellent! Your Green Stuff Skills are really good! The grot on the cooler! LOL Looks like a pilot or something? The Land Boat looks like it would make a GREAT Battle Wagon!
For someone who didn't want to do a blog, you got some great stuff!
I origianlly started one to help get motivated. It was for my World Eaters army. It didn't really work, but every once in a while it does make me feel guilty, so I do a bit more work on it.
and i would love to see this completed soon... the materials alone for the prow make me all edgy to see it done! man i have to rethink my own airship idea completly...
and your GS work alone would have been sufficient to make a new thread...
by the way... i am not sure here as i have not the knowing of orks models, but is that a kit of an orktank or a scratchbuilt??? can´t tell anymore with all that black paint over it^^
we definatly need...yes neeed to see more of your work...well i think you got yourself way deeper in your own undoing^^ glad you finally did the right thing...!
Landboat...Landship....
Doesn't that depend on how many masts the vehicle has? I think 3 masts or more denotes ship...if the same holds true for the land variant, I do not know.
I do know awesome though! And the Plastic Card work on the prow so far is awesome!
Now let you into a secret, I stole all the pictures of the internet hah aha ha heh no I did not and I will try and get some other stuff up soon.
But to be honest thanks to you crazy bunch of misfits you have given me the balls to do this so I will try and keep some updates soon
The only down side is answering all this bare with me
The top one was a scratch build except a few pieces GW and blood and skulls awesome tracks and some wheels (big thanks there)
Yes, the grot / goblin is a pilot he was to go in the plane I grotted up, but after a bit of detail added he would not fit in
The land boat tank boat or whatever is the start of my own grot mega tank, I loved the FW one but I wanted something a bit more classic ship feel, so the basis is going to be a pirate ship in metal on tracks with a few twist's.
I may need some help with things on this, so get you're thinking caps on chaps, and I will be using the maxmini grot pirate heads for my crew (with bodies of course) as they are friggin brilliant.
Incase any one is wondering as no one has mentioned the little thing with yes ZINGE INDUSTRIES excellent wheel on it is the start of a side car for my ork bike squad (yet to build) and it needs more rivets
I will update soon but I need to check everyone else to make sure they are pulling their finger out now, instead of telling me to pull mine out.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Just for Vik WIP picture of the tank :
i had a fleeting feeling that this might be a sidecar to a bike...but was too unsure so i didn´t ask^^ in fact the agle of the pic was so bad i couldn´t tell heads or bum either^^
that tank is brilliant! bloddy brilliant at that... must have costed an age to make it done...
as for the landship...first question is...are you up to do a sketch of what you might want to go for a look?
what i can come up is you need to think about turrets... and maybe some ramps and such things...and a ball on a chain...really i think monkeytroll should be answering this...he is da man for such ideas^^

Well, to be honest that was my first real try at scratch building, it turned out not to shabby I think
As for the ship if you imagine a pirate ship, well I want that kind of look to it the old galleon (don't think about masts yet ) however I need this in metal plus land tank form.
So the issue I have is layout, where does the engine go, exhausts, crew quartos, weapon layout ect … I will have masts of sort as I want to do something that will answer the fuel problem …… and I want a crows nest for sure.. …
I like the idea of turrets as i have considered these for a couple of options, Ramps I am not sure as to what you mean or ball and chain can you elaborate on that please ...
Drawing a picture aint my strong point, tried it on this project to start and the idea was completely wrong (ended up drawing a cross between a battle ship and a tanker ) so that will be no, I find it best just to cut glue and see where it takes you..,,
Amazing scratch building skill You got there For sure for the landship You need a grot to the steering wheel with a hook and a peg leg, plus, engine and exhausts at the back, like the rudder.
Don't forget the figurehead and a lot of nets with scrap metal in them, kind of fishing them up!

sort of front view
other side last but not least ….
Found this little feller, he will be hanging of my kommando's backpack
This is a better angle of the converted FW grot carrying the Kommando boss back pack (you will get a picture of him later)
from the back ….. if you hadn't guessed
mate, if you put up more shots of your landship i bet i could make some mockups for your to use as a guide... i think i have some nice ideas coming up just as i type here...
sidecar looks very cool...and as for the shabby tank of yours...well it is shabby, but with orks and gretchkins...that is where you wanted to go for... and i have to tell you...making scruffy or worn out out stuff is sometimes a hell lot more difficult that creating even and smooth fittings...
i hope you feel the back of my my hand slapping your neck...all this stuff...brlliant i might add and you still didn´t want to make a thread...*shakes head...* peeps with low selfesteem...*shudder*
these grots are full of character... seems you have chosen just the right army for your talent!
gimme some pics and i see what i can come up with...
I gather you want some pics ? I hope these will do then mate :
I have some idea's and the kind of look in mind, but its wether it will work ?
So all input will be taking on board and greatly appreciated I have some idea's which I like but feel might not work due to space and size, so I might run them past you to see what you think ?
LDD Good stuff dude...loving that Landship/FW Grot Tank reminds me of both the Jawas from that popular sci-fi family adventure who's name seems to escape me at this time and also a hint of the Rebel Grots "Big Lugga" from Gorkamorka...you ever play that? If not check it out!
Thanks guys for all the positive feedback …… should have started a blog earlier
@ Ghostflame Yes, cant put my finger on the name of those film's either as for Gorkamorka skimmed through a few times, more a fan of the models than the games.
Have to say you have inspired me with your thread to do a couple of things now and one with a take on Jawa's and those grots with ghouls heads ……….. enough said for now
@ Hmelrose Thanks, thats why I love the green guys so much fun tinkering with stuff, plus if it goes horribly wrong it still works LOL
I hope the Pirate boat tank will be to everyone's liking
@ Vik the creator of my doom, Please do, will be intrigued do see the madness that spills from your over creative mind but beware it does need to have the feel of the old galleon to it that is a must for me……. Hows the punctuation now LOL …..
But make sure you don't suffer your own work at the hands of mine , after all still waiting for that walker to be finished, and an update on those guard
i am not a real expert at punctuation myself...as long as it is there i am thankful^^...
and as for the hobby work... i do as i please...whenever...and your stuff i then make a bit of mine hobby as well...(horrible sentence i think...), so fear not...all in good time^^
No prob Vik as long as your happy so am I, after all this is as much your thread as it is mine ……. without your foot permanently stuck to my backside it would never have happened ……. lol
Wow, all together the landship is longer that I thought.
First of all You should finish the railings till the back at the same height of the front and in the back, like in every pirate ship a higher platform with the ship commander that shout orders.
I would put the dakka out of the sides, like cannon in a pirate ship as well!

Ah I think the American idiom you are referring to is "I'm going to put my boot so far up your ass you'll taste my shoelaces" see also "I'll hit you so hard your Momma will feel it," "I'm going to knock you into next week," and last but not least " I hope you like the taste of teeth, cause I'm gonna knock yours down your throat"

Gerat job mate
I was thinking of something similar with the Dakka out of the sides, hatches with shooters possibly along those lines.
The over all look will be based around a traditional Galleon, but turned on its arse, after all its grots.
There will be a higher level at the back with two half towers on the back corners, lower down will be the engine and exhausts.
I am thinking one mast in the middle, with crows nest and power source will, explain that later not 100% sure how this will work.
I am wondering if I should add a grot cannon on the front deck, what do you think on that ?
Well thats the plan at the moment, just got some news that maxmini have released their bike wheels for sale, YAY! means I can start scratch building my Ork choppers
Automatically Appended Next Post: Ok not much interest, unless removing someones teeth ………..
So thought I would share the start of my Blood pact / chaos Guards
These are the generals
Sorry the pics are not that clear
And the coats from the back
General troops all work in progress
Last but not least my first Enforcer
I found this guy in a box that I threw together with bits a while ago, not sure what the hell he is for but I liked him nether the less
I built this for a friend as I was taking the piss out of him for watching wrestling, he was taking the piss out of my hobby first mind ……..
Well thats all folks
I have found some other stuff in the box, but I will save that for another time
This stuff looks great LDD! Why did it take so long to get these up again? Now, if they were crap I could see the reluctance, but you have nothing to be shy about!

that!!! it really puzzles me too...and chaps we need to get off of that train of thought... it leads to bloddy madness...
hulk hogan...man!!! and that pose is so fricking real! super!
the generals...are they creed converted or built up cadians? either way...there is some very fine and precise GS work shown there...seems you are very talented in GS... this has to be further explored...
and i even saw rivets on the arms of that ex-cadian...wow...seems the league will soon burst out of it´s current headquaters...
and i haven´t had the leisure yet to sketch on your pics of the landship...but soon it will be up and about^^
All my hard work and you choose the hulkster as a talking point, no I did not do any others I am afraid maybe another time ……. Maybe I will run a pole for who I should do next
I guess it took so long as I never thought my stuff was that good to be honest …. Plus its more fun seeing what other people create and think up, it always surprises me the talent that people have.
Vik yes they are creed's with a little alterations, I did the first one with the Maxmini head as I bought a headless creed of evilbay , then I had another idea for it and was about to start again and found another creed, hence the second general.
Dave no I cant cut him up I am afraid, maybe I will build him again doing the leg drop Mean jean are you serious man …….. Ill have ago maybe lol
I did think about doing Macho Man Randy Savage at one point (R.I.P) should I OOOOO YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Macho Man is my all-time favorite! The Scooby Villain kicks ass man!
You think your stuff is no good???? WTF? That's all in your head my friend!
If you'd just let go of your wierd little self-esteem issue, imagine what new limits of creativity could be unlocked!!
You already have the skillz.
Feel free to share.
And quit worrying about people dissaproving of you, Be true to yourself.
I approve of all of this! Great GS and conversion work dude! Its always been hard to photograph black primed models, its just the way it is. Keep it coming!
As you crazy bunch of misfits pushed me in to this show and tell, and have helped to resolve my self-esteem issues "Thanks Vik , Dave and mxwllmdr" in your tough love way.
I have decided more as a bit of fun/training exercise to build 2 yes 2 more wrestlers.
However you choose who, so add you choice after say a couple of weeks, the highest vote will go into construction.
So start voting
So far we have
Macho Man Randy Savage ( I hope wins )
Mankind (also a hopeful)
Junkyard Dog ( have to look that one up)
Mean Jean Okerlund (Ask Dave )
Andre The Giant ( ogre model )
Jake The Snake ( old school )

Also, do you have more pics of your models? just snap up some shots with your camera and get them up here.

Noted and added, more pics later now don't be greedy
MOAR!!
Don't worry about your camera or set up, I use a couple blank sheets of printer paper taped to the sides of carboard boxes and a desk lamp pointing straight down on top of them. My camera is my cel phone's digital camera without a flash, I get in real close and have noticed that the camera picks up light differently if I angle the phone differently. I take a ridiculous amount of images of the same models and then I delete the blurry ones and upload the better ones.
Just keep the cam handy while you work, you will naturally take short breaks after doing something, so while you do that, snap a pic and move on. You make things much more difficult than they need to be bud.
oh yeah...randy...this one is definatly needed to be done...!
Automatically Appended Next Post: oh and i forgott...this definatly needs a full ringset to be made!...so we too need a refferee...complete with hanging microphone...
"Lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllets get ready to Rumblllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle!"
A full ring, and several different wrestlers is a must!
Errrrrr I wish I had not started this now ….. I will add the votes up, only one choice I am afraid per person so use it wisely.
As for the ring I thought that myself, but it was going to be a surprise but you buggered that now
Steel cage maybe, folding chair a definite what about the belt that has to be some where …….. Ref ok that has to be in there, hanging micro phone that means building a box, so thats a no …..how about the crowd no only kidding.
Now first things first rowdy piper how could I forget him, sorry Vik but I new some one would say undertaker eventually …. But what style undertaker …..
either doing a tombstone...but that would involve a second(third) mini or preparing to give the choking grip...as seen in my linkpic... outstretched hand...
the belt should be ling on one of the corners of the ring...as it always was on belt matches^^
don´t forgett about the cane...^^
and a full audience of catachans serving as hillbillies^^ with lots of big wavy hands made from foam^^
as for rowdy piper... i recently saw the movie they live again...so i thought...he should get a sudden hommage piece^^
Sorry but had a few Jd's after work as it was a hell of a day, so trying to make sense of this all
The feedback has been informative all though a little over zealous ….. but i am up for a challenge "cough splutter "
Vik as to the shotgun "I stole the idea " its pretty easy really all you need is the empire musket arms, bit of a trim a little green stuff hey presto….. I will do a how to tomorrow for you mate
Well, great suggestions, but this was just a side project so 2 wrestlers for now ……. and maybe the ring to stand in.
I like the idea of loral wire for ropes, seen something done with that before that would work great, so thats in

i know that is just a mere sideproject... and it is mostly fun to jump to new ideas^^ kinda dakka tradition... as dave.,.. he always gets jumpy whenever peeps urge him to make lots of molds of cool stuff he did^^...
i twisted the floral wire with my drill...just put three or more wires inside the drillholder screw tight and bind the other point of the wire to a door handle or something similar...or heck a vice^^ and then just drill^^... after a few moents you have a thicker and good looking big wire...

ouch... overdoing it...take care of that arm...some pepermint oil might help you there... (no pun here... whenver i have a straining arm i use japaneese pepermint oil...warms the arm up a treat...)

Automatically Appended Next Post: Vik here is the shotgun walk through :
First you need the arm holding the crossbow from the Empire detachment box set.
Next remove the bow section from the main part of the crossbow, the parts that over hang.
Now you need to trim the front of the crossbow down, cut roughly where the under belly starts to curve up, this will be the belly of the shotgun.
Now you have to trim the top section, roughly slice a section out so it stops above the fingers and before the small raised section on the top of the crossbow.
Now take a good flat modelling file to get an even surface, making sure not to file away any of the fingers holding the crossbow, this is your level guide and the detail.
If you go past them bin it and start again, now file the end round so you have a realistic looking belly for you shotgun.
Now it is starting to take shape, simply add two pieces of plastic rod as barrels, you can use hexagonal for more ornate or antique look.
Then once you have the desired look a little greens stuff to cover any holes or for a little design.
If you want the same look as mine you need to use the barrels from the Empire Pistolers .
Well thats it done hope that helps, if your stuck just let me know.
That's a very smart way of doing shotguns. I might give it a go. Thanks.
And is it just me or does a lot of people that do orks also do some form of traitor guard?
hey LDD.... many thanks for the step by step on the shotguns!!!
i knew someone would be bound to investigate on crossbows to shotguns eventually! i had that idea too, but never went into action to try it out! thatnks again...and i really apreciate the hint of the hexagonal shaped rods... that one will be done soon!
also the pistol barrels as shotgunbarrels is a strike of genius too!!!
at RW...i post some pics i researched in your thread!!!
OK then …….. Like you said weirdness makes the world spin and this is a fething tornado ……
Now thought i would post some other stuff found in the back of beyond so here goes:
This is to be the general of "The Lost Legion"
These are some old ogre conversions
Last but no way least this is an ork Ski mobil, made from an old ork bike and PC one night when I was really board ……. never had a use for it till i got some Puppetwars Red Army Ork heads
Rogue Wolves wrote:that general looks cool.. is that the FW vet head?
Well, spotted yes indeed
Vik now that would be telling ………. I will try and remember
mxwllmdr yes it turned out all right, considering it was just a quick chop shop job, I have some other old Ork bikes nocking around might make a couple more to make …..

Vik just been looking at my General of " The Lost Legion "
I think I remember the parts now. So here is the list : torso and legs are an old set of Col gravis Resin Pretorian cavalry Guard, he made a while ago I have a load nocking around, the head was as mentioned correctly earlier FW veteran Guard head, the pointing arm was from the Cadian Guard HQ set (with shoulder pad cut off ) the other arm was from the tank sprue and so was the bino's he is holding.
Other than that was GS braiding on his shoulders, also very fine picture wire for ceremonial braiding hang from his chest.
The horse was from the Empire Pistoliers range but 2 horses converted to get the stance, also GS for the stringy edging at the back end, picture wire for braiding again as well and brass etched eagle at the front.
Viktor von Domm wrote:thanks for the list of bitz used... seesm i know all the parts even...but since your stunning GS work made it look way more posh...it made me unsure^^
actually i think this is a sweet car... to orkyfy it it could be a bit hurting... in fact i think it looks more like a IG command vehicle...but that is just me i think... the tires would work for your purpose tho...l but i might add here it needs then new fenders...
by the way... the first pic looks like a perfect way to make a flying car...:
I have 2 more of these ( black and purple ) so maybe an idea for the future …….. Mind you the guard idea is a no no due to the scale its to big, I know its 40k but even with that in mind its still to big
This idea is for building soma gangster Orks, plus I was thinking of using a couple of ogres as well, just for the heavies
You know Pinstripe suits, fedoras, knuckle dusters, tommy guns that kind of thing ……. when I found these cars I was like that would work
Automatically Appended Next Post: But I like the fenders that makes the car
hmmm...when you want to keep the fenders...i think for the look the wheels need to be inside/at the right place to the car... i like the fenders as they are too... maybe use some other wheels? but then you would loose the orky feel...dang, thats a vicious circle^^
the tommygun concept sound very nice... also the ogre use... well i PM´ed you something about ogres^^
how big are the cars anyway? a reference shot maybe?

How did I miss coming back to this thread I missed out on the voting for the wrestler (I would of gone for rikishi )
Your GS is just amazing, and your rivety Land Ship is awesome. It makes me feel ashamed to with the lack of riveting I have done recently. Dam you family life lol.
what makes me wonder is....how do these wrestlers become so beefed up and tall ...i mean Rikishi is probably samoan...not a people that spring to your mind when we talk about tall folks... beefy ...true but well that guy is huge...
RSJake wrote:Land Ship looking good! I would say the back needs to get moved back a bit, so it's sticking out past the tracks...just a person prefference though!
Well, to be fair it's not stuck down it was just to prove I am slowly working on it honest ……. But it will be further back when it comes down to fitting .
Vik I think you have to look at most races you get larger and bigger than normal people, so really I guess it's a case of horses for courses
I have started working on another wrestler can you guess who he is : early stage and still working on the face, a bit of redesign needed call it plastic surgery LOL

I agree on the move back on the landship rear castle.
Yes will be doing so, I had to put it where it is as it kept falling off for the picture, I have added a little more not enough for an update but maybe soon

and ship is coming along nicely LDD!
If you have to ask I hang my head in shame yes early stage but it looks better in the flesh plus I have yo add hair and mutton chops eyes and so on, legs arms feet you get the idea
Rogue Wolves wrote:no its not a is it? its more like, if i was wrong i wouldnt look like an idiot saying omg thats obviously him, and you saying.. um no dumb dumb
Well in that case yes it's andre in the making, have to say his head is only tacked on with " Zinge industries black tack " great stuff little plug there
nope...he is even uglier ^^ but i guess that´s because of the sheer endless suply of ugliness from within...
and because...it was a reaction of LDD´s anouncement to use his body har for the curly locks of andre the giant...this kind of recycling we don´t need to see here...
Got a couple of days of this week so fingers crossed will get some work done, having what I like to call a "Dave work week" fething arse hole bosses pushing us , figure this one out we have had a very successful week got the cost below the target (profit margined is on the up) but we are not pulling our weight
We have done better than the other 2 shifts (which have managers ) with less staff and more productivity …….. But the problem is we have no shift manager as ours left in January and has not been replaced, so morning shift managers are overseeing ha ha our shift.
Get the impression some managers are worried about there jobs
i have long ago stopped watching news in earnest... i think the last ones were due to the 9/11 and before that the fist war in the gulf... after these incidents i skipped completly news... now when i get a glimpse of those nasty still acting-as-politicians i feel vomit creeping up in my stomach...so i rather stick to comedy and cartoons...or down right violence^^...thats my major use of telly...
there is a bike somewhere hidden underneath all that ...that...that... and somehow i think LDD has all the big people bookmarked...it is rather weird...

Just a quick google and you can find anything Yes there was a women but it ate it
so life figurativly gangbanged him? sounds nasty! just kiding though, but it happens. and as long as its nothing too serious it should be alright i assume
the best possible thing i can think of is desgusting fat men... but i know there is only 1 true king of the degust.... LDD, although a poem would be nice too

LDD posted a pic of a fat man,
which made me blind.... (now continue it)
No updates of late because work is really destroying my sole at the moment, even though some of the middle management are going (redundancy ) the place is still a bag of gak.
However with what little motivation I have had left, I managed a little work but nothing worth showing
But I will get some updates soon
Dave I was only busting your balls as you always inspired with your work, which in the process got me of my arse to some, now you have been engulfed in the world of FONV the updates had run dry.
Vik I have been looking at some parts for my SP inspired ( thanks to you ) IG have some things to show you and your view on what you think
Rouge afraid no fat men any more, totally busted on that front, however feel free to continue the poem, never inspired any one to write poetry before
So nothing serious just a bunch of arse holes that I have the unfortunate pleasure of working for and with
I know the feeling man! The bastards know the economy is still tanked, so they can get away with treating us however since we are lucky to have jobs in the first place.
"Warum hat mir niemand gesagt, das mein Hintern so fett aussieht?"
like so?
oh and i have to say... the german version of mel brooks is quite good... they did a fairly good one with all his movies... tho i have to say... i expect a lot of yiddish in his movies in the original version...that one wasn´t used in german...
There was one where Mel and his friends were supposed to do a mission as they were theater types, and Mel was dressed as Hitler as he was an exact spitting image for the movie, Mel played the Jewish actor who looked like Hitler attempting to escape, AND Hitler the confusion that occurred was awesome!
It may have "To be or not to be"
and andre...well...he seems to want to proove a point here...iirc you cant stand on one leg...well he tries it with one foot^^ so put your best foot forward...easy choice lol
Viktor von Domm wrote:lol... and there is such an easy way to get one...
Well this worked fine
No just got some of Kromlechs feral orks heads,they look friggin sweet ….. and there was a little something extra which has not been released or shown as of yet
