i need some photo's of scratch built burners

ORKY that is

anyone help ?

Hmm... I've got one. But I don't think I have photos of it.

Basically, take the one Shoota in the Boyz box (the one with the sort of ray-gun look to it, with the longer bottom than top barrel cover and the little side vents), chop the barrel a little, remove the magazine. Then take the tip of a disposable pen- one of the hexagonal ones with the smooth caps that have the hole in the end- take the tip, and carefully trim the outer cylinder of plastic from it. You get a really cool nozzle.

I have a bunch of old Cadian IG models. And of course, since its all melta, all the time, the flamers don't get used. So just a little snip to remove the front of the shoota barrel, a little snip of the flamer near the back of the gun, glue them together, add a glyph plate to cover the 'transition', and you get an ork burna on the cheap (because you can get LOTS of IG flamers for cheap.)




Here's a picture of them from the back. The photo quality is so poor I thought I deleted it, but you can see what I was going for.

That airship model is outstanding. Keep up the good work!

thanks mate

i was looking for photo's like this one, but maybe of how they did it so well

Nice a challange from Klaus, not Santa. Love to see your take on the model Wazzoo

I would love to say, "Mine will be bigger and better", but i think i'm just going to say "Mine will be bigger and Different", i'm thinking Crab, rather than spider, i'm also thinking centipede, if i can be assed to make all them legs (think it might be crab)

Go Crab that will look better with Orks (why, I don't know but it will) Plus you could do Grots ridding mechanical shrimps next to it

How about "scorpion", with a huge load of dakka on the tail?

I'm trying to stay away from the Grot side of things, coz I've ran out so will need to go and buy some more.

OOOOOOOOOOOO scorpion ???? now thats an idea, might just have to make that next.

It's just basic shapes layered and a lot of gouging the edges with an xacto.

if forge world can make a centipede you can make one better. plus it would be a nice centerpiece for your army

How about an army of Bugz? Invent a new clan that only uses multi-legged walkers..... Kans, Dreds, wagons, trukks.... That's something to think about! Someone has to do that lol

My primary Battlewagon is called da Boomstompa- it's based on Looted Defiler legs, and features a Killkannon, Big Gun, and 4 Rokkits.

And I built it that way before 6th came out.


Anyways, walker vehicles can look really, really cool.

Just whent through you thread and there's nothing I can add that hasn't been said to you before.

Your tut's earlier in the thread are part of the reason that I joined dakka as a user and stoped lurking.

Your work in inspiering and I love seeing everything.

Gives me lots of ideas.

Keep up the great work!


~Silver.

the striking pose of the spider is epic and i see a lot of humor in the pose.

humor? i hear you ask. well yes humor with orks/grot falling of as the spider gets in his strike pose. and the scorpion yeah i dig it but doesn't khorne has a scorpion all ready?

thanks mate, glad you like


here is my WIP, at this angel you cant real see the pose im going for, i still have 2 legs to go on it and the feeder, which i my just use Burners to make this look, there is still the armour to bang on it too, so really this is a very basic shape at the moment.

that is really, really sexy orky style!
i also really love all the chipped edges you put on everything!

LOOKING GREAT nice detail and loving the roughed up edges, the wire rapped around the claw feet was nice touch.

This is really going to be a great looking beast

What he said x 1 000

I hate you Wazzoo. I really do. I build things and think "Hell, that looks pretty nice" and give myself the thumbs up. Then you come along and make a basic shape, that poohs all over mine

Wow, that's an excellent start!
Super details on the pistons and hydraulics - probably a bit too organized, but most likely that's because my Mek is such a chaotic one
Great start really
So the other two legs will mount the burnas?
Cheers
klaus

Wow really nice detail.

Pivot points, pistons, tubes. Masterful!!!

awesome conversions and painting, but I think you already now that. Keep up the good work.

BTW, this spider is a nice cross of spider and crab:

HOLY SQUIG! These legs look incredibly good, wow! How long did you work on them?

2 days so far

Dood- That is Killer work! Really ACE! I love the pistons and hinges, and joints everywhere, it really looks like it would work! Excellent work Sir!

Ok Spider fan's, day 2 conpleat, back legs on, i made them different to the other six, as they being the back legs they should be a tidg different.

today i will make the feeder legs things, the fangs im going to put to Burners there, i will try make them from scratch, also the pilot is going in, im thinking of using a deathcoppa cut right down, till i do the cutting and put it in there, i'm not sure yet what to do.

ive also start adding some small bits of plating and again, i'm still not sure about it.

Wow, this baby comes along nicely.
I really look forward to the "fangs" with the Burnas.
Where will you position the driver?
And you'll have a rotating turret wit it?
Cheers
Klaus

if i wasnt legaly blind i'd slap myself for missing this amazing thread! this stuff is incredibly impressive.. dare i say the klaus of orks?? and your spider walker is already giving my flashbacks of klaus' cool ork walker and im sure yours is going to be just as succesful! im subbed

Realy liking where this is going but be carful how you use the deffkopter piliot, its a really quite commen model in conversions and maybe you should consider something a bit more unique, but apart from that. those legs are sweet

bigfish wrote:Realy liking where this is going but be carful how you use the deffkopter piliot, its a really quite commen model in conversions and maybe you should consider something a bit more unique, but apart from that. those legs are sweet

yep, i know what you mean, i think im going to stay away from it

thanks guys by the way

Looking out freakin standing here Waz!
Love it so far I'll be keeping a close watch on this guy!

How about using the trukk driver for this monster?

The plating looks great I don't see why the reservation, plus burners for fangs is going to look kick ass.

I am so glad you are not going to use the deffkopter pilot, it is so overdone in conversions you could just build your own guy out of Ork parts.
How is the driver going to be fitted ? if he is in some kind of cockpit you don't even have to use legs just build a console around him, now we know you can do it
Ok no grots but how about Orks riding slightly larger mechanical shrimps

MORE!!!

Day 3, here you go boy and girl, and master builder Klaus, im loving the way my burners turned out, they are a little on the big side, but Feck it, there now classed as HEAVY BURNERS, just need to work out what the frig im doing with the top bit now, i need to fine some where to put the fule tanks for the burners.

anyway, looking good

Wow very nice burners. Did you heat up the plastic and bend it round the tube?



Where do you buy your tube from?

tipios wrote:Wow very nice burners. Did you heat up the plastic and bend it round the tube?

I bent the thin ish plastic card around the tube and glued it and pegged it till it was stuck, no point in heating, it bends easy ish if its thin ish.

i get all my stuff from my local train model shop, i swear to god, im going to put that on my Signature, you can buy all this online, its just i buy with my eye's and not my brain.

I know you can buy online, I was hoping you had a online shop that you always use and all the sizes fit inside each other

tipios wrote:I know you can buy online, I was hoping you had a online shop that you always use and all the sizes fit inside each other

your not the first to ask me and you wont be the last mate lol, thats why i buy by eye hahaha

The only hobby shop near me is Hobby craft and the selection is very poor. I bought some hexagonal rod to make bolts online the other day, and when it arrived, they had sent me half round rod instead

Looks fething awesmone!

btw have you figured out a way to do do the engine?

Dam that is so badd ass pure genius those burnas look friggin awesome, NOW GO BUILD ME ONE !!!!!!!

P.S. where do you get you plastic rod from LOL

I'm thinking this is going very crab like, might have to stop calling it a spider

Excellent work! Very steampunk.

It's a crab always been a crab to me

Haha it's a spider again, you will see tomorrow

NO CRAB !!!! THATS FINAL LOL WILL SEE

btw how are you doing the eight eyes?

If it's to be a spider, it'll need an abdomen.

Anvildude wrote:If it's to be a spider, it'll need an abdomen.

like this ?

thats looking really really cool!

The body looks really good! Where did you get the engine?

I'm not sure about the CC weapons though.... they look too small.....

EPIC i would have never thought of the ork talon

i think it looks better as an 8 legged walker of death rather then with the abdoman, it just seems weird to have that on there unless it was going to be used for daka or fuel or to transport boys or something.but i am sure if you have it on there you will have a cool plan of how to use the space looking cool btw

haha thanks guys for all the support, but this is going on hold, i feel its going abit OOT and im also not 100% sure where im going with this, so im going to start a smaller one today, and come back to this one.

ok guys, the other spider went a bit off track, so I've started another one, this one is a bit smaller and is on track hahaha

Now that looks like a spider good start lets hope it stays on track this time LOL

You should re work the larger one back into the crab

Dood, your working speed again is amazing. It'd take me one day just to build ONE of these legs! lol

Looking forward to seeing progress on this thing!

Lookign amazing man! Especially the flamers!

With Plastruct, their website/catalog shows you all of the inside and outside diameters of their tubes, but it's best just to buy by eye, like the man says, and it is impossible to only buy what you need for a project, stock up early, stock up often.

love the work

here you go, i am starting to really like this one this time lol

Now this looks like a SCARY Spida!
Damn fine build!
How will you continue form here? Build up the rear?
Cheers
Klaus

Klaus

yes i will, i have a plan in my head, and will start it today

This has a better feel to this and the driver design looks and works perfectly, how you going to build out the back ?

I was thinking maybe a ball type design, with a flak type gun (which you have done brilliantly before ) set into it

I still think you should turn the larger one into a crab

more work to do

This spider is impressive.....hope you will add some shot of the back soon!

I always love your work wazzoo, however on this occasion I feel slightly let down on the back design.

I think to get the spider feel you would have designed more of a bulbous back, maybe half a ball shape with opening's to allow firing points

I only say this as I know you are capable of so much more, I feel this will detract from the rest of the design which would be a real shame.

Sorry to sound like an ass but I want to be honest.

yeap i agree, this is the 3rd back bit ive built, i think i will go back to what i started with, which you will like

I sound like a broken record but I love it man!
But I'm glad that the back is changing. I can see spider in that one but I don't feel it.

Hooooly crap... that is amazing. I just found this thread... the whole thing is amazing. My eyes water every time I see your stuff

Leave you for a while and this happens.
Man the ork's in your wagggh must have "da best mekboy around!"
Going to keep an eye on your work keep it up

more spyder monsters please.

Wazz,
Thanks for doing this blog. It has really inspired me to give it a try. I have done a couple of small things but am soon moving up to some vehicles for my orks.

btw, real orks wear yellow

thanks guys, you all keep me going with your kind words, there will be more spider, just a little bit more to do on it.

Your conversions are all FREEKIN' awesome...
And I disagree with you, you are a very decent painter... Maybe not Golden Demon... But who really is, other than the pro's?

:O amazing

I want to start an Ork army just so I can start trying some of this stuff. Awesome.

sheps wrote:I want to start an Ork army just so I can start trying some of this stuff. Awesome.

That's exactly what happened to me. I've been browsing this thread and others like it (mxwllmdr, Klaus, not Santa, mayajid , Develain, etc) and been so inspired. I don't have a ton of time, so my stuff is pretty rough, but I'm trying.

MrMerlin wrote:Very nice looking dakkas, waz! How did you do the ammo-drums? Need to know it, gotta build some for my miniguns!

The first thing I did was to find some thing round to draw around to make a nice drum size, a compass would work fine. I used quite think plastic card too. Once I made one side I made the other the same way, I then cut 2 small squares glued them all together with the squares in the middle. You will need to file the side down a little to make sure it's all the same.

Next cut a thin strip of very thin plastic card (this stuff is as thin as paper) this will rap around the outta edge, once glued and dry, trim and file. Now you should have a drum size mag.

Adding it to your guns is up to you, in my one I added a square edge and built it up, it's hard to explaine so I will make a TUT at a later date to show you guys, it will be like the dakkadakka TUT, but anit aircraft dakkadakka.

Hope this helps till then

Just thought it would look better if you beefed them up, given the attention to detail everywhere else it just stands out as a bit odd. If you don't want to make rounds yourself, might I suggest giving Zinge a look? You're so close to perfection, why stop now?

Holy craznap! That Spida is looking fantastic! Is it going to count as a vehicle from the codex or just your own awesome Spida Walka?

How did you make that awesome g(h)ill(i)y/e suite ork?

Orkz don't use ammunition... The block of iron with the wooden handle, and dangly thing near the handle LOOKS like a gun, and they believe it, so it works... doesn't have to have ammunition... Heck, doesn't have to have anywhere for ammunition to come out of the weapon, let alone put it in! In theory, they could pew-pew you to death with their finger-pistols...
Waaagh!!! Orky mind-bullets!

What I'm saying is, "Looks perfect to me. Exemplifies the Orky zaniness!"

Yes LDD. It is very wrong.




It pushes you to make them playable...
Not to mention lets others see it..

How have i missed this for so long?


Its rare to see someone who 'gets' orks so well, you have literally achieved orky perfection.

There are a lot of ork modellers out there who just slap a bunch of plasticard cuttings on tanks and call it orky, im glad to say you are most certainly not one of them.

Without doubt one of THE best ork armies ive ever had the pleasure of viewing.

New buggy is looking pretty cool, I would buy them but like I said before its about the price, and I am a cheap bastard LOL

When you put them up put a link please, I might see how much and how well it does

These are amazing! I know they were in the window of GW York for a bit, but were they in travelling man as well? Or was that just me....

Anyway, Great work, you are so lucky that you have found a market for them on eBay....

i am planning on making about 6 of them, 3 painted and 3 under coated, when i bang them on i will link it for you on here so you can maybe bid on a cheap one, lol but my last lot did very well, so they might not stay cheap

Thank you sir, you are too kind, but without being or sounding too big headed, i agree with what you say, there are loads of "Ork" modellers out there that just bang together with super glue and plastic card and call it orky with out a hint of it maybe working for real, when i build it i want it to at least look like it would work, never mind the ork willing it to work

thats why i like running this blog, maybe some of my skill will rub off on some of you guys. also im here to learn to, i didnt know that Shootaz where called shootaz till the other day, thought they were Dakka's and the big ones where heavy Dakka's,

to be honest, im not sure what your on about mate, sorry

When you make the buggies I will take a look definitely maybe even start the bidding LOL although I would go undercoated not that I don't like you're painting but it gives the buyer an option.

Plus you should sell some of those shootaz

Absolutely stellar work man. Great Job.
This is why I love building Orks. You can get such elegantly assembled piles of scrap! I especially like how you used the random little bitz from the Boyz sprues on the buggy.

I may need to loot one or two ideas from ya!
Keep up the great work!

update, more buggys





will paint soon

Buggies awesome!

Basically: how can I make a jeep like that without using the deffkopta?

The 2 other buggy variants


There in the codex so people "could" want them, but if you did'nt want to go overboard making every variant most players are a lot fonder of the rokit one then the skorcha one tactically. hope this helps not hinders

here you go again, a bit of WIP, almost ready, im not sure about the roll bars yet, might get rid of them.

Looking great! I personally like the 3 support struts. Also, is that GS you're using? Or some other kind of putty?

I like the second buggy a lot, it looks solid and orky, great work!

im on about the roll bars and the back of the trukk, there's 2 of them, might get rid of them, and the stuff you think is GS is Millput, same thing but much cheaper and better, its comes in about 5 grades, and you get loads more too.

Solid work as always wazzoo

Have you thought about maybe a tarp between the roll bars?

 monkeytroll wrote:

yep, i would still loose them bars tho

How does milliput compare to greenstuff in terms of molding small details and extra stuff, like a gun or weapon in the hands of a boy or nob? I've only seen you use it for work on corners and plates really, but then again, i've only seen you work on vehicles, and not models.

As far as I can tell, be careful with Milliput. The stuff I got is essentially lumpy play-dough, and stickier than molasses to boot.

Ive used Milliput in the past and loved it. Milliput is not nearly as fine or malleable as GS (at least the Grey-Yellow stuff used here- there is a fine grain white milliput that ive never had the chance to try though).
It is an excellent structural component for plates and stuff, but small detail work is best left to GS. Everything has its place.


PS Trukk is looking boss!

Guys, millput comes in 5 different styles, the yellow stuff i'm using is the cheapest, then it goes all the way to fine, which cost ££, green stuff is good, just from GW its ££££££££££ for a small bit, and when im working on big vehicles there's just never enough of it. i love millput, i was brought up with it, but thats my own reasoning

ahh sorry i should of been clearer, it is only my opinion, i can see Green stuff being very good at a lot of stuff, but there are other thing out there other than Games-workshop product, games workshop think they have whole market covered because all the 10 to 16 year old old buy GW stuff only, some one asked me what millput was not to long ago, and as far back as i can remember millput has be a modellers basic filler/modelling tool, way way way before green stuff. so please dont just think if GW dont do then no one dose it, that is not true, oh and its only a matter of time before you see GW platic card and Tubs.

only my opinion, please remember that, this blog is about tips and hints on MY modelling

love you all

Waz Out

Essentially, for all you who don't follow other P&M blogs- GS is Games Workshop's (successful) attempt to market up-priced product. GS is essentially Kneadatite (sp?)- there's also Grey Stuff, Brown Stuff, Milliput, Pro-Create, and a host of others; just look under 2-part modelling putty, and you'll find places that sell entire tubs of stuff for less than you'd pay for a roll of GW GS.

Yuuuup! I, for one, only buy the Kneadatite in separate tubes. it makes it last longer- the GS bands that are side by side start to cure after a while!!
I get mine at the Warstore.

Hey Wazzou, do you have a couple photos of that plane on page one??

could you make a "how to make ..... " for that plane??

Yep that's him wazzoo.

Yeah maybe one day, just too busy at the moment, i will deffo keep it in mind mate.

@Kjellk: I don't think its that hard to figure it out.... to me it looks like a deffkopta with two plasticard wings and a nice rear end stuck on it, with tubes as hinges
and of course plenty of rivets!

thinking about it, I might actually copy it if I find a spare kopta!

@Wazzoo; that's good enough, i will look for that day

here is my Mean Green Fighting ork Trukk Machine, hope you like, i went for green for some reason, not again tho, i will stick with red, this will go on ebay i think, need to re-fund my cash flow for some big big big models (Aircraft Carrier)

here they are wazzoo


and



with paint




i just do random things and with orks they just fit

Yea, thats the nice thing about Orks, it seems to work out better if you just lay a pile of random junk on the table and start using it all while build. Since we are sharing "koptas"


Heres mine that run with my Biker Boss.

Sharing Koptas?





sorry I haven't gotten around to painting it yet. Great work on da' buggie Wazzoo! I like the green!

hahaha kopta's for everyone

I really love this one, I'll be copying this for my aircraft carrier, and guys you should be putting them in "spoilers" haha

Wow, I'm honored!!! Thank you!!

You are such a great modeler/painter, and half of the reason I started my WIP blog was because of you. Keep up the good work, I look forward to... Whatever comes next

what i will say tho guys, is i dont get the arm with the drills on or the other things, it doen't take much to bring an air craft down, so sticking a mellay weapon on it makes no sence to me,

sir willian, your Bird would look so much better with out that arm thing, stick a shoota on both side of the rockets

and Fatty, i dont get how a drill will work on a plan will you crash it into the enemy i dont get it , take it off and stick some guns on it

and it seem you need to do some tidying up of your models, your wings look a little ropey, but you get the general idea, i will do a TUT, it will help you all

ok guys here is what i call one of my best Trukks ive made to date, its called my "WarHogg" hope you like it as much as i do, and by they way, there is more to come with this model, so keep on Trukking and also keep an eye out on this post, you wont want to miss this

oh by the way, these photo's where taken before i did the rivets, so you have that to look forward to as well lol im just so gooooooooooood hahahaha

Dude! This is some serious DAKKA!
Really, your adaption of the Spida is just astounding - a lot more professional and clean
And I have to say, the red suits the spider very well - and the quad .50cal Meat-Chopper dishes some serious lead
I'm glad your Orks didn't land on Dencara.

holy gak, is that a nose comming out of it? and eyes? Good work Wazzoo, you captured the nurgle feel perfectly

Those are both fantastic waz. That flyer is just nuts with all those patches all over and the broken cockpit glass.

Sculpting work on the dread is excellent. Not only from a technical aspect but design wise. Kind of chunky and all squiddy looking. Very Cthulhuesque.

The nurgle dread makes my stomach upset just looking at it. And i mean that as a compliment.

Nice sculpting on that dread, very cool.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you sculpt really freakin' fast too

Oh good heavens.... that's awesome!

Yay aerodynamics... wait a second.

This is awesome. You have really outdone yourself this time wazzoo. I love all the tiny details like the crack marks on the glass but my favourite part is definitely the giant horns sticking out the side. It just seems so Ork like

I love the plasticard patches on that one, they really meld in with the model well.

Can't wait to see what comes out your wazzoo next!

This may have been asked before, but do you use an airbrush or something?! Because you seem to not only pump out these minis, but give them a pretty decent paintjob in no time flat. How do you achieve this?

haha thanks guys, and no, i don't use an airbrush, i sometimes use a sponge for rust work and mud. i would love to learn how to use an airbrush, i guess its all about the more i use one the better i would be, but its just getting started with it

Hey do you know any sites 4 plastic card and stuff?

Google. Google will tell you all about it.



Wazzoo - Yea I figured you didnt, because usually I can tell, but I have been fooled before Either way, still floored at how fast you pump these out. Ive been painting the same 3 minis for the past 4 days

update.............i did paint this a while ago, but i used a gloss varnish on it (i was trying to get a wet snot look), which made it look dog sh t, so i had to dull it down abit, this is not what my Nurgle army is going to look like, but its very close, im working on a chaos nurgle bike and a Rhino at the moment, also a big tank type Ork Anti aircraft gun thing, so will keep you guys informed of what's going down in chinatown.

Oh god, that looks scary and amazing. You've got a really nice Cthulu-esque style going on there.

Hey waz, I was wondering if you had any experience with satin varnish. Been working on my Necrons and I've noticed that the vehicles especially lose something when I hit them with a flat varnish. Unvarnished, they have a lot more life to them, I think because the slight shine of the paint makes them a bit richer in color and a bit more dynamic. So I've been thinking that a semi-gloss satin varnish might bring them back to life a bit.

Do you have any thoughts?

show models, ie one's you don't play with don't varnish, in my experience varnish will take away the good looking paint job you've spent hours doing, ive not yet found a very good matt varnish, im trying an humbro one next week, ill let you know how i get on.

Thank you sir, I look forward to your comments.

I have been gawking at your awesome work for quite a while. It's great being green, isn't it
I can't believe that I haven't subbed this thread yet!

here's another TUT i've just done, hope you like, its part 1

Scratch Building a Tank Hull

First of all, i got some very thick plastic card, the stuff thats quite strong, i worked out how big my tank wheels and track where going to be and cut the card to size, if you buy a resin running gear from eBay like me then this part will test your modelling skills to the limit. or you could just buy a model tank and just use the running gear from that.

as you can see, the shape of my hull is already taking place and i've only make a couple of cuts, ignore the back part of my tank, i change the angle of the tank later.




now we add some support, its not rocket science, just make sure you know how big you want your tank to be, some time being OTT looks crap, i went for a big tank hull, but will add lots of guns and stuff later.





again more support and also the end bits to are tank hull. take note of the end of that support beam, i've roughened it up to give it a cut metal look, this will look good when painted.




now i've cut another piece to size and started to give the hull its more solid shape, you may need to play around with this bit, ie a file here and there to make it fit.



then i added some rivets, the more the merrier, just make them look like they're in a logical order and it will make it look like it was made by a pro. making the rivets is simple, just cut very small strips of very fine round plastic cut to size with a shape model knife



then do the other side, i then cut another bit of plastic card for the bottom of the hull, and giving it some shape, also doing the rivets again (i hate leaving the rivets till last so i've started doing them as i go, it saves so much time later on)



on this photo i've made 2 round bits of plastic card and stuck them on and added rivets, this type of thing is on most tanks, there oil drain access, it just makes it look good and made by a pro who knows what he's doing. lol



now for the top part of the hull, remember we are just making a basic shape at the moment, so we can work on this abit me later on. plus ive added some more detail at the ends.



these photos show what i've done to my hull, this is the back part of my tank, this is where i'm going to put an Anti aircraft gun, and at the front will go......................................





ok guys, thats part one, please ask any questions at the end of this TUT, and i will try to get back to you, this tank hull will be part of my ork army

Welp, looks like Ive got yet another reason to come to the blog section. Pure excitement!
