Love the chipping on the yellow, looks great with the rust.

I think I’d work on the ork skin, looks a little chalky, I’d honestly try a light purple wash, do a test, a treat on green skin.

Reading such comments is very nice

I know but I don't like paintig minis. Above all, I am a builder, this is part of the modeling I like the most. Painting characters is a necessary evil for me. Yes, I know it sounds like heresy here

Cool project, love it. Should look really impressive when painted.

Really good attention to detail.

Fair enough, build away, looking good.

I'm still struggling with laziness and boredom in this project. Getting back to work is getting harder and harder..

This is still one of the most magnificent and wonderful projects going at the moment, so much win.

I know the feeling, it can be hard, but just sit back and take a breath and look at that thing, you know you have to finish it, it is not far to go now.

Cam's right, it looks really close to finish. This beautiful piece deserves to get done

Lazy is not the word I would use...

AWESOME! Just too much awesome to process. That's the issue.

Looking great.

Thanks!
What motivates me most is that I know well: if I put it aside for a moment, I will never come back to it. Removing something from the workshop is a death sentence for the project... That was the case with many models so far. Among others scratchbuilded gorkanaut, finished in 95 percent, and several tanks from the Second World War. So I try not to give up

Main propeller finished:

Beautiful stuff! I love all the detail you are cramming into every piece, it's going to look incredible once finished

Commander Cain thanks!
Little update. Bomb, rokkit and radar section finished.

Stunning. Really appreciate the effort you are putting in.

Whoa...what a project!!! Thanks for sharing

I like the bomb, was it made from an Easter egg?

Camkhieri, jac_boj, Syro_ thanks!

Syro_ Yes. That's wooden Easter egg

Hi everyone!
Torpedo finished. As I think

I went through the whole thread and I do not regret it. This mad construction is so inspiring, even though I do not own a single Ork miniature.

That is brilliant.. Seriously well done!

Looks very good. How close are you now to the entire thing being done?

Thanks!

It depends on the definition of "entire thing done" There are only several elements to be finished, visible in the picture below.
But some things broke off when painting, I need to fix it. Ship needs a vignette/base. For now, I did not even think about it. And last but not least: crew. I've painted only one ork so far. I have a dozen or so

Still amazingly close with how much you have already accomplished, keep up the good work

Next part finished. One step closer to the end.
Anti-aircraft gun inspired by the Kromlech's Ork Flakvierling
Enjoy!

Lookin' fantastic! Can't wait to see it all together.

This moment is getting closer

I finished painting the rokkit launcha turret. I also started sticking decals on some elements. I use an ork vehicle set and old decals for WWII tanks.

The finished AA mount looks great! I remember rthe pics where you scratchbuilt it essentially from junk- wonderful build!

I kinda want to send you a box of grots.

I've also got a telescope for the captain. It is a brass element of an electronic device, mounted on a plastic rod with green stuff. And a laser lens from a CD-ROM as a telescope lens.
And one more machine gun with a gunner

Wow, good eye for bits with that telescope build

Telescope finished. I also painted big zzappa

It's easy if you have a large collection of "junk". Last picture shows part of my resources
