Whelp. After such a long time I haven't gotten much done. I wanted to finish the buggy before posting again, but after a month of not doing that, I'm coming to terms with my utter lack of interest in the tedious process of chipping/weathering...And I'm hoping that posting this will get me to stop procrastinating, finish the damn thing, and move on to bigger things!
The buggy is in it's "clean" stage of paint-everything is the right color--I just need to add some washes to the boys, cover it in mud, and make it generally look all blown to hell
I've also started sculpting *another* thing (despite all the other things that I've started sculpting and not finished)... Let's see if anybody recognizes it so far?
Still MUCH much more detail needs to be done...primarily in the arms department. And also all the surface detail. And also everything else about it.
Not exactly sure where he'll fit into my army either... Probably something to do with the mek, or maybe as a stand in for a got herder or something. Any ideas? Maybe I'll cast him and make a whole squad of them too.

Thanks guys, I know I've been out of the game a wee bit, thanks for comin back!
I figured I should probably actually build a mek, since he's been building all these fun toys. Nothin particularly fancy, I actually had a much more bad ass picture in my head of him, but when it came to putting the pieces together he didn't exactly come out as I originally thought. Much more static than I had planned.
Well anyway, here's the mek behind the machines: Big Mek Hind Grinda (wittier name pending)

Haha thanks good green and MrMerlin!
Well, I've had this dread staring me in the face for quite some time now, so I figured I'd finish him up before I moved on to the kaptin
Here he is all did up and spiffy
Gettin dirtier...
That's better!
I must admit, I think I went a little freaking nuts with the blood. His face is nearly completely covered lol. Since it is ink, I'm not actually sure if I'll be able to fix it though unfortunately. I did want it to look like he was this blood covered maniac hauling ass toward the nearest enemy, but I think there's a weeee bit too much blood on his face.
Here's a few more pics:
And the hind region... which gets grinded, if he's immobilized and the mek is around [which is never]
WAAAAAAGGHHHHH!
Now on to the kaptin, primed and ready!

To be honest I think the blood is genius. It looks great. The Ork deathheads (or whatever they call the ork face thingy) are all about intimidation.

You got a lot pure orky awesomeness here from the rokkz to da subz and of course the buggies!
just one question about your big mek though: do I recognise a piece of a guitar straplock used for the KFF?

Thanks, and actually it's a piece from a Dell laptop power cord. It used to hold a rubbery strap that went around the converter box to keep the cord wound around it and organized when not in use. Now it's on my mek's back. I do see what you mean though it does look a lot like a guitar straplock--and really it pretty much did the same thing.

I have some pretty serious ADD--the mek is almost done, but I started on yet another project. I'm making a few objectives for a sort of "recover the geneseed" mission.
I looted the banner from something a made a few years ago, so that's not the best quality and I may redo it later, but I finished off this one:
If it's not obvious, this one was inspired by the opening movie to the first dawn of war game
And the rest still WIP:
Still very much green stuffing needed-this one will be really gory when it's done
And this isn't a dead marine, but whatever it is it certainly is dead. It will be the area that the boyz affectionately refer to as... "The drops"
Once I get a decent sized army I'll be making terrain for an orky town, and even orks gotta go somewhere. I'll be experimenting with that stuff used to make water effects for this, so I dunno how it'll come out, but I can't imagine it being too difficult to make something look crappy. Those black spots will be bubbles once I get the water effect stuff on it.

Now it's time for some MEGANOBZ GRCHHYEEAAHHHH
Grah I want to do nob bikers, but they just have so many damn parts to paint, I think I'd get sick of em before finishing them. I still have yet to play a 6th edition game, what is this I hear about all individual regular nobz/nob bikers being characters, but meganobs NOT?

Got some more work done on the first of 5 meganobs
His name is Old Nubnutz and he doesn't like to talk about how he got the nickname... Anyway, now he wears mega armor since the accident.
Here's some back gubbinz:
Still plenty of crap to add to him before he's complete, not to mention tons of rivets
Very soon Brainz and Boss will be joining him in the ranks, and I've still got two more to think of a personality for and/or build before I name 'em.
Anybody got an answer to that 6th ed rule question in the previous post?
