New Project – Orky Trashbuild Aircraft

I’m starting a new, completely separate project: an Ork aircraft.

At the moment, it could end up as either a Dakkajet or a Grot Fighta, depending on how the build evolves . That’s not really a problem, though - the pilot will be inside the cockpit, and only his silhouette will be visible, so it can easily work for both ideas.

Just like my previous builds, this one follows a full trashbuild approach . Everything is made from materials that were meant to be thrown away.

- The fuselage is built entirely from bottle caps and lids (yogurt, fruit drinks, water bottles, and even cosmetic containers).
- The wings and tail are made from two parts salvaged from an old printer I dismantled.
- The exhaust pipes were built using a piece of rope combined with parts from old pens.
- The bigshootas are made from two discarded (unused) lab test tubes and more pen parts.
- The cockpit was made using a piece of metal mesh and translucent green plastic, which helps hide the pilot while still giving a very Orky , industrial look.

Nothing fancy, nothing expensive - just reused junk turned into Orky flying tech.

More updates soon as the plane starts to take its final shape.
As always, comments, ideas, and suggestions are very welcome!

хорошо! я буду ждать продолжения. на крылья можно наклеить металические пластины. ( например лезвия канцелярского ножа). можна заменять опции оружия на магнитах.

Thanks! That’s a good idea .
I might include something like that later on - it really depends on how the project evolves.
