I'm right there with you on the too much stuff to paint problem. I'm really, really, really trying to limit myself on starting new projects. It's tough.
Keep up the good work, and keep posting pics of your awesome work!
Thank you, Cleatus! I actually don't limit myself at all. I just build and build and sometimes paint. Why limit yourself when you can just keep making. Although, I must admit, committing to finishing one project and sticking to it until it's done helps a lot to motivate me to keep making other things. Once I knew for certain that I have the ability to finish, even after I lose interest in the project, I gained the ability to work on dozens of projects at the same time. For me that project was my deffdread. It took about a month to build and then sat on my work bench for a year. Then I primed it and it sat like that for 8 months. When I finally painted it I couldn't remember a time when it wasn't painted. It took me nearly 2 years to work up the motivation to finish the dred, but now I know, that no matter how much time passes on a project, I can still go back and finish it. Everything is easy now. Also, I work on a lot of terrain in between projects. I encourage all to follow the link in my signature and check out my terrain blog, too.
How did I miss putting up pictures of my beautiful killa kanz? I has no idea!
Obviously I can't leave well enough alone and all of my kanz have at least a little conversion. Even the grotzookas get minor tweakings so that they're not all the same:
I also, at some point during uploading, lost track of which kan was which. Bear with me as I try to sort them all out. Here is a WIP with awesome little leg plates and a very stompy gait:
Here a kan with a kustom exhaust:
A runner shootin'
Another kustom grotzooka (I was committed to the idea of grotzookas):
And soon there will be more! Thanks for looking. Feedback always welcome. Have an awesome day.
Good little tweaks to the kans. Sometimes that is all that is needed to make a unique model.

My wife calls this looted wagon my "Keebler Tank". At one time this was a "looted leman russ", but then the new codex came out and did away with that conceot. Some old ork players really detested the idea that their 14 frontal armor tank got reduced to an 11, and fielded looted vehicles as battlewagons instead. I think this adherence to old ideas is foolish. My looted wagon is still a comical and terrifying vehicle for my opposition and it costs about the same points wise. Making battlewagons a different option on my lists means I have something new to model.
Posting pictures with my phone is challenging. I'll put up more pics later.
Automatically Appended Next Post: As promised, here's more photos of my "Keebler Tank"
Some years ago this tank took a nose dive off my work bench and a few pieces flew off into the darkness, never to be found again. The barrel split in the front and one of the tabs chipped off the turret ring. For whatever reason I never repaired it or finished painting it. Now's my chance, no?
Feedback or questions always welcome. Thanks for looking!
I LOVE this looted wagon! It really reminds me of back when the Ork model line had a sense of humor (especially Epic).

Thanks, Grumblewartz. Unfortunately this model took a dive recently and is in need of some repairs. The cannon popped off the turret, and some bits popped off the hull, but for the most part it remained intact. I might turn it into a giant flatbed truck and save the crazy turret for a new looted wagon. Dunno yet.
