Your ork conversions are fabulous, but I must say some of your greenstuffing needs some refinement. Going from orkz to soft surfaces is pretty different so it just needs some time. I love the eyes, but the gaping pustulent "craters" or sores look a bit smooshed.

yes i do and yes its not cheap, but you get a one of a kind model that no one else will ever have (unless they copy it or i do)
you have to look at it this way, if you paid me by the hour, and a model took 20 hour just to build, and 5 hours to paint, what would you pay me per hour also then add on the matts. 
a lot of people ask me to do stuff for them but forget the hours of work that go into one model, feel free to message me with you request and i will give you a price, just remember i dont play 40k so you need to use little words and photo so there is no mistakes and i'm sure i can come up with a price.

Not bad I like the main body and the turret idea was a clever one the only thing I am not sold on is the track side.
The track detail is great and the patch work looks good, the thing is they look a little flat I gather you have done this for ease of casting.
Maybe adding a set of side covers might lift it little, you could cast them as flat sections so no real problem, the ones you did on the earlier version would work nicely.
Great start and they should sell, the rest is just my opinion but I like to be honest I would get one as I love Grot tanks and overall this is a good looking tank
Mind you can I have a pic with a grot just for scale reference

Yes, I'd buy one. Though ldd has a point, the tracks look a bit odd. Even though it's close to your last grot tank in design (which was fantastic)... the fact that the track plates actually extend beyond the width of the tracks makes the track arrangement look overly bulky & distracts from the body and turret.
I understand the limitations that casting puts on what you can design, but perhaps there's a way to de-emphasize the fact that the plate and tracks have to start at about the same place... perhaps insetting those two big circular wheels rather than having them stick out? A partial cover might also help (like in the pic above), but then again it's limited by what you can make a successful cast of. Automatically Appended Next Post:
Further thought:
Could you cast the turret hatch lid separately & hollow out the hatch a bit so someone could stick a grot figure in there if they want?

I'll echo others, and say that adding a track cover (bulkier the better if you ask me) would make it more aesthetically pleasing.
Also you should make the hatch covers as an add on piece, so like others have said we can leave it in the open position and put some grots there if we chose!

yeah i can see your point, but let me just add this, i made these tank just using the odds and ends i had, and a shed load of tank tracks i wanted to use up, if i was to make the last one again i would use his tracks again http://stores.ebay.com/Blood-and-Skulls-Industry/ and would not see it.

Boomgun Looted Wagon or Killkannon/SupaKannon Battlewagon. You do well with big turrets, and the Battlewagon size allows for a lot of unique looks. Don't be pulled in by the GW model though- go for whatever design you feel would work best.

I'm not 100% sure what they are as i dont play the game, can you put some photo's up here in a "Spoiler" please

Boomguns are a looted vehicle with a big ass cannon on it. So really, whatever you want as long as it has an impressive cannon.
Mine
And a Supakannon BattleWagon is a BW that also has a REALLY impressive kannon on it

ahh thanks mate, but is there a spec i should follow when i build an ork Tank, ie.........
1x big gun
2x shootaz

You really need to learn the rules if you want to build to regs mate LOL
But don't ask me I don't play either Go with the rule is cool that way people can use it as a count as
The only real Ork tanks I have seen are the Forge World ones to be honest, everything else is battle wagons so nock your self out mate.
These might help :

Post by: Anvildude
You can have anywhere between 0 and 4 Rokkit Launchas and/or Big Shootas on a Battlewagon. (that's 4 weapons, any combo of BS and Rokkit [so 4 Rokkit, 0 Big Shoota, or 2 and 2, or 1 and 3, or just 1 Big Shoota/Rokkit, or nothing]) You can have a Killkannon or Supakannon (the Supacannon is Forgeworld, but people like it). You can have a single Big Gun (Zzap, Lobba or Kannon). You can have a Deffrolla (anything that looks like it'd do d6 Str 10 hits when it rams things- rollers, whirrin' blades, crushy hammers...). You can have a Grabbin' Klaw. You can have a Wrekkin' Ball. You can give it a top, or leave it open. And it doesn't have to be in GW's shape, as long as it's suitably Trukkish. And the weapons can all be installed anywhere. In any method. It's legal to have a Pintle Mounted Kannon if you like, or 4 Hull-mounted Big Shootas.

Not to mention that they can layout some pretty impressive dakka. Four Big Shootas is 12 Str 5 shots at 36". Nice addition to a load of shoota boyz in the back.

Post by: Gitsplitta
Keep in mind that it's better to make guns that can be added or removed than not. If someone is going to be playing it they may not always have the points for the full kit.
Deffrolla & at least 1 shoota are mandatory, the rest is optional though shooty is better in 6th edition than it was in the last edition.

Post by: KingCracker
Yea I almost ALWAYS run my BW with x4 bigshootas and a cheap kannon (not the big ass kannon...just a kannon) and those alone mow things down. Its excellent for pre assault softening

Actually, why not go for a Lobba (artillery) instead of a direct-fire Kannon? They're not that terrible, and there's probably some crackerjack modelling opportunities that'd come with an upward-pointed gun.

As for Wazzoo I can see it, because lobbas look cool. But as far as playing goes, I can snapfire the kannon, while I cannot fire the lobba. I guess it would be more preferred though if I dont plan on moving the BW IE sticking lootas in it. Ill try that next time
And Wazzoo, thats no lobba thats a moon! Er....wrong reference. Thatd be more a supakannon/killkannon thena lobba holy gak, if thats a small mortar Id love to see what you make a supakannon into

Just to let you know, Battlewagons cannot, unfortunately, have Burnas mounted (they can have them riding, though!). Looted Wagons can have a single Skorcha.
So Rokkits or Big Shootas, or maybe a Zzap.

just to let you guys know who follow my modelling, i've been making some stuff for a guy in the US who im sure i can call a friend now, this stuff will be cast in resin and sold. (but not just yet) here are some photo's.
the 4 guns are my normal style, but i thought i would try a new one, i think the 2 guns are going to be AA guns, i already love the look of them and also with all the new flying models around, i reckon they will sell well lol
and now the Krusher Tankettes, still a WIP so be kind, these tanks are the same size as Grot tanks

big shootas on tanks and flyers.
To be honest though waz i think i would personally find more use for smaller ork infantry scale shootas. Ive been searching ebay all the time and some of the shopes and what is offered is really not that great. If you could make cost effective ork shootas i would definatly be interested in buying them (in mass). (To clarify cost effective for me would be around 3.00 for 10 but if they were quality the i would pay 3.50 plus).

But with 40K now allowing terrain to become part of an army list then there is a market for Ork Bastions, Defence lines and Quad Guns etc. They sell.
But i know there is a problem with doing that in a cost effective way. What will the majority of people pay compared with cost of materials, time and effort.

That is excellent! One recommendation for future work. You should make sure that the height of the guns off the ground is about the same as the hight of the quad guns on the aegis defense line set. That way you aren't putting the buyer at a disadvantage because a lack of LOS (or conversely at an advantage because the guns are too high).
Just a suggestion.

Try varying the rivets on the next one. These ones all look *very* uniform. Different diameters, with and without round or square heads, missing (ie leave just the hole) etc - would make it a bit more Orky IMHO.

Just put your stuff on ebay and leave it at that or in the trading section of this site.
I subscribed to this blog because I liked the work, I found most of it inspirational. However I am sorry I will be signing off, your attitude sucks. I wish you luck and those who "love" you a happy future.
PS shouldn't an AA gun be able to rotate?

OK lets not blow this out of proportion guys wazzoo altered his remark and apologised lets leave it at that, plus if you want to unsubscribe just do that you don't have to come here and bitch first.
There are many talented people on dakka wazzoo2000 and Arakasl being 2 of them, they have different ideas and different approaches neither is right or wrong.
Now can we just get back to some models please ……..

well i'm sorry (again, that must be about 20th or so time so far tonight i've said sorry and ive only have 2 beers) to see anyone go, its the boost you guys give me when you chat about my work on here that pushes me on to make more and at the speed i do, and yeah it gets me down when some one says a negative thing, and yeah i react to it, I'm human and a big fat baby.
if you going then please don't post saying your going, whats the point in that, i'm sorry your off, how many times do i have to be sorry ???

You should make sure that the height of the guns off the ground is about the same as the hight of the quad guns on the aegis defense line set. That way you aren't putting the buyer at a disadvantage because a lack of LOS (or conversely at an advantage because the guns are too high).
Just a suggestion.
what size should i be looking at mate ?

The center point in between the barrels on the gun (if you get my drift) on my quad gun is 2 1/4" off the table. So, if you point the barrels of the gun straight forward... the lowest ones are at 2" and the highest at 2.5".
The GW turret elevates and depresses as well as swivels. I don't think anyone will care about the elevating and depressing so you can model it at whatever angle you'd like. Swiveling would be cool (and well within your talents) but again... it's understood that these turrets are pivoting so its not absolutely necessary that the model do it.
I just thought that if you could make your models size-wise equivalent to the official one (at least where it matters for game play)... you'd remove one obstacle people might have to buying your work. More bids = higher sale prices.

thanks for replying mate, my AA gun/pillbox moves up and down and also turns 360, and the base is 3 inch by 3 inch and 2 and a half inch to the top of the pillbox, so it sound to me (and i could be Wrong, after all im only human) my AA gun/pillbox is about the right size, how the hell i did that with out know is your guess.
the next one should be done by the end of the day, ill keep you all posted, got some kool idea's rolling around in my head on the look.
i think im going to start doing video's of my models, photo's just seem to confuse some people, or its my write ups, anyway, i think a vid will do better.

I think I prefer this one over the last one, and I'm sure it's not just because it is sporting missing rivets! Possibly because it looks less squat/boxy than the last one, possibly because of the added hatch, face and targeter details - was there anything else you did differently here, or anything you felt came out better?
Awesome work as always.

Very nice work... targetter is a nice touch indeed.

The last one i made before this one was more simple, don't forget i was finding my feet, seeing as i have never made one of these before and all so there is not one out there for me to copy. i put about 18 hours of work in the last one and that inc painting, this one how ever is about 20 hours so far and its not painted yet, so you can see straight away there is more effort gone into this. and also this is a wee bit bigger than the last one too, but not by much, no one picked up on that.
the last one had a door at the back to get into it, this one has a hatch and a swivel targeting eye, which is going to look kool when painted.
over all this is going to be nice when finished, the next one I'm planning is a orky SAM missile version.

I like them both. Or, I guess I like that the first has a demonstrated functionality - I can imagine a guy in there making it work. I don't like the guns as much.
I like the second for the face and I much prefer the gun barrels on the second one as well. I don't see where a guy operates it from though. Not that that matters, but comparing them to each other that's what strikes me.
Really great stuff. Keep it up.

i have tried to make the guns look different every time, which is becoming hard and hard i tell you, but i agree with you, on the pillbox AA gun MkII, the guns do look very good and when i come to make the in the future, they will look like that.

yeah its was my ugly duckling, but the MkII is looking good, thanks to comment made, i changed a couple of things and here you go. oh and the guns just made it look kool too. Automatically Appended Next Post:

Not positively or negatively. He was really into Orks, hailed from Yorkshire, came across a little rude in text but was actually quite polite vocally.
That's about the size of it. No offense 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
