I've had a bit of a set back, I can't find the half dozen toy missles I was planning on using for Rokkits, and it's just frusterated me enough that I haven't done much modelling, other than adding some surface detail to the feet.

Setbacks happen. We'll still be here when you start working on this again.

I'll post some pics later tonight, but I struck gold, and inspiration at the local dollar store.
First off boiught some Chainsaws as tall as an Ork Nob, that will end up being the basis for my Stompa's Close combat arm. Secondly bought some fat markers for tubes to use to make new Rokkits.
With my luck, right after I finish scratch building six Rokkits I'll find the ones I was originally going to use..

Did some work on the Stompa.
Added Teeth and a Headdress to the head.
Doubled the foot print of the feet and added a lot of detail to them.
Created the basis for the close combat arm.
Added a little detail to the central cannon.

Thanks. I've been trying to use Ork Design Theory, using whatever is on hand and cutting it until it fits.

That is one of the more creative "DIY w/ common household items" project I've seen in a while. Have to admit I don't 'see' anything right now but a bunch of random plastics like marker pens, orange juice caps, etc. But I know paint defines a model and once all the name brands are covered w/ red paint and Ork glyphs this is going to look awesome.

It's more fun that way. Just imagine what a Mek would do with the scrap on hand.
Trying NOT to look at GW ork stuff while doing this. Otherwise, I'll just end up trying to reproduce what I see in a larger scale.
I'm actually slowly working on another titan sized project as well. SooooooooooooooooooOooooOoooOoooo need to focus.
speaking of rivets...
Has anyone tried one of these ?
Steel Punch with 3/32", 4/32", 5/32", 6/32", 7/32", 8/32", & 9/32" punch tips.
That would 7, yes 7, different size of rivets !!!!

no...but now I want one!
The Leatherpunch and punch set and hammer work pretty good for me, the Chop-it never fails me for the tiny rivets, but new and exciting riveting methods are ALWAYS encouraged!

Wow. That looks really cool. Hmm. If you get one, let me know how it works out? I'm looking for about 1,000 easily made rivets for when I get back to my 40K / Necromunda terrain.

I use a 1/16th hand held hole punch now, but I was entertaining the idea of expanding to other sizes when I came across that metal punch.
This is a pic of the one I use now.
I punch out 20-30 rivets at a time, before it gets uncomfortable, then dump them out and repeat.

The hole punch I currently use is 1/16th of an inch and it is equal to 1.5875 mm
1/16th = 2/32 = 1.5875 mm
3/32" = 2.38125 mm
4/32" = 3.175 mm
5/32" = 3.96875 mm
6/32" = 4.7625 mm
7/32" = 5.55625 mm
8/32" = 6.35 mm
9/32" = 7.14375 mm
P.S. MASS RULES !!!

It does, indeed. Alas, you are very far away from me, so we'll only see each other at the occasional 'big event'.

You NEED 1mm rivets in addition to those, I haven't found a leather or paper punch to make them that small yet, styrene rod and a blade or better yet a Chopper or Chop-it is what I would recommend.

I'm curious how many NE Dakka folks we have? I know of ... 5 from VT (likely more I haven't met / chatted with), 4 from MA, any from NH? Upstate NY counts for me as well because it's right across the lake.

Brand new PC, so I don't have any pictures on it yet, but to answer your question I'm a minister and the artist was looking for interesting Zombie ideas to draw.
I was writing an Zombie related RPG earlier in the year and thought it would make for an awesome illustration in the book.
