Not used to seeing them curled like that. Good to know.

Gold eh? Pimpin' out the landspeeder. Fitting.

Thanks guys, glad you like it, still working on it.

On slightly the same subject.

Firstly the speeder mount...


Then a burnt out wreck.....







thanks for popping in.

I really want.the the corpse of jar jar binks in that thing...

Should there not be scorch marks on the pavement under the wreck? Fire usually turns concrete a rusty orange.

@ graven, LOL we will see, not sure yet.

@ WW, Agreed, just trying to nail down where I actually want it finally placed.

So getting close on these speeders time to move on shortly to the crowd etc, and still got a lot of tidying to do, as this comp is really tuff, better get the sloppy paint sorted.

From these pics I can see some areas I need to sort...

Imperial Speeder...





Ork Speeder...

Detachable as yet, so with or without?






Wreckage..



C & C welcome, going to come back to these, but moving on to other bits I want to get done, especially as after all the road is the star here, better make sure I get that finished.

I'd say without the ram for general purposes, you wanna go fasta and it'll just slow you down, you don't expect to be behind anybody when you've got the need for speed

Looking excellent too btw I like the colors on the speeder, and the mount is very nice, window details are slick.

Whilst I agree on stripped down for speed, always needs dakka. Just basic Love the Loser* but it still screams some kind of podracer wreckage required

Firstly the burnt out wreck with graffiti is awesome and the speeder paint job look very fitting for a marine

Now the front plate although I agree with GrimDork that it would be heavy and slow you down, it could also work to balance the roadster.
What I mean is that the thruster would probably make the rod flip over on first launch so this could be a counterbalance to keep it level and on the road, however when has Orc mechanics ever been logical

I quite like the look of the front plate...although I agree in principle that it should really be stripped for speed, it strikes me as orky air-o-dynamix coming into play......tough call.

The imperial speedster looks great, nice choice of colours

The burn-out is fantastic, excellent weathering and great graffiti, top job

looking forward to seeing what insanity ensues in the crowd

Nice progress Cam. Keep at it, you're doing good.

well if this isn´t a development that brings me back from just mere lurking...

these two (three) speeders look amazing, love the fact that you restarted all over and came out better yet again!...

as for the ram... the ram as such looks very cool, but I think a ram on a speedster doesn´t make sense...tho...we are still talking orks here...no rules apply here...

the current coolness factor apart from the vehicles I think is the light show, the OSL is freakingly awesome!!!...and I love that you included a maintenance door to the lamp post...

all thumbs up my friend!

cheers, vik

Love the reflective details on the windows Cam. Gives it a nice touch. Especially the little star-like reflective glints in the corners.

Screw practicality, that's an Ork speedster and demands a ram!

Seriously it looks too cool not to have it.

Thank you guys. seems you are having the same difficulty as me with the front "spoiler"!

It is not glued on so can yet decide to remove it or not.

Added a little detail, and stuck the wreck in place, after painting a shadow and some burnt pavement under it. (thanks Warboss_Waaazag.)

Also a small wall to kinda finish one side off, got a bit of work to do on it yet,

Here you go... oh almost forgot, put in a start line!


Thanks for loking in.

AWESOME seeing it all together really tells the story nicely, I think I would keep the front section on now it sort of completes the look and gives it a bit more shape.

You considered a flag bearer to start the race maybe a grot would fit the bill nicely, shame you don't have the squashed grot mini would have looked great on the road as road kill from a previous race.

Definitely looking awesome

Thanks Grim

@ LDD Thank you sir, Indeed have already started, though I am being a bit cheesy....



More later I hope.

Going the scantily clad lady good call

Much better than a grot!

Though late, I'd say keep the dozer-spoiler, and So Much For Subtlety.

Love the graphitied wreck, too.

Sorry for the late posting, but the speeders are looking great i love the wreck with the graffiti. In regards to the plough / bumper. it does look cool. remember rule of cool over reality

Thank you guys.

Well just to let you know I am still alive.....



Some of the crowd and the flag girl.

Looking good! Nice slab of meat there that boy's got!

Thanks Graven.

So this evening started in on my entry for Nerdacadamy...http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/615288.page






Thoughts are very welcome...

Looks Marv-ellous or possibly, a whole-hartigan effort!

that trench coat is amazing!...
for the flag bearer...may I add an idea?... I would rather make her have just a handkerchief letten slipped from her fingers than an actual banner pole in her hand...but I really like your choice of the whole scene you´re working on here...

and graven... nice one

Well thank you guys,

@ Vik Thank you and great idea, will see how I go though, made a flag, but will think on it!

Marv is continuing on my Orkishness blog, so please pop over there and see how he is doing, will be back to the drag strip tomorrow.



Thanks for popping by.

The diorama looks great! And interesting "Sin City" take on the Nob.

That is looking so much like a Orky version of the Frank Miller character from Sin City! the big scars all over private detective in the trench coat,,,,,,,But Orky!

He is marv-ellous. What are you going with for spot? Iirc it's usually blue in the Marv storylines.

Hehehe, that Sin City Nob is brilliant!
