Not sure about the lower jaw, but I'll reserve judgment until I see what you've got planned.

Warboss is quite intimidating, excellent work

When you said giant squig I had imagined you'd cut the dino in half back towards the hind legs, and then rebuild the front into a massive squig grimace face. The sguiggoth is a thing though and what you've done looks more like that so it works. But now I kind of want to do what I said

I do think that re-using the horns as tusks is a good idea, though- but for that you'll have to do some re-shaping on the lower jaw- you need good projecty bits for the tusks to anchor in, elsewise they either look glued on or you have to put them sticking out oddways.

Personally, I'd have left the beak.

The Warboss looks stellar sir!

I am sure the lower jaw is extended for some mighty big teef and tusks!

Thank you for the great feedback guys.

Did as bit of sculpting this morning, and while thats setting I will be hopefully cracking in to the buggies.

Teef!...........




Got more teef on the go, stick them in later.

See you soon with some buggyness......Thoughts appreciated on the Jaw situation..

How original! I expected no less !

Hmm, C&C. I think you need to delineate the lips (?) from the gums a little more, especially where the tusks protrude.

Are you going for a hippopotamus sort of mandible? You are very close. Perhaps there is too much chin?

Awesome stuff, just awesome.

The chain flail is so orky. I can easily picture it flying around hitting his ladz that get too close.

The gun looks dead hard, you can count it as Da Dead Shiny Shoota and legally get 6 shots a turn.

I like the Squiggoth too, what rules are you planning on using? I see the apocalypse rules have a 50 point Squiggoth, but it can only have a cannon( zap, lobba, or kannon) which seems odd, no big shootas plastered every where.

Anyway, great looking stuff.

Boo to being designated driver. I also had no hangover, despite half a bottle of vodka... Just like the good Ol' days. Will have to try again for new year.

Thanks, I am afraid I am dumb on specifics with the model, its a Tricerotops to me, but I know there were many different ones, so you may be right. I am afraid it is no longer, see below, far below....

I was very in to Dino's as a child, so can still spot the main ones. Although I did check on WikiP' first for spelling at least.

Good start. Keep at it. Not a lot I can add at this stage as any suggestions I could make, would move it away from the squig-ness of it. I shall keep watching to see how it progresses... and then stick my oar in later.

Well time for an update, Oh and a change of tack again, back to the buggies.

Firstly...

@ Solar_lion. Thank you sir.
@ Red. Thank youi, all taken on board. Will be back on it soon, got a bee in me bonnet at the mo.
@ Gorgrimm. Thank you sir, um rules!? what for! Don't play.
@ Dr, Thank you bud.

OK Buggies!

First buggy...


Comes to bits for painting.


No 2....








They are still WIP and got to add afair amount of detail yet, and a lot of rivets.,

These are actually for Nerdfest, doing them for him for his Bloodaxe Orks, he said to think along the lines of Willy's Jeeps, so how am I doing?

I saw buggy number two and thought of the Willys pretty much straight awsy, so I'd say you're on the right track. Another classic WWII vehicle.

Yep, good job there...look like orky willy's to me

Oh, if only that comment was destined to go at the top of a new page....fnar, fnar

@ Gorgrimm. Thank you sir, um rules!? what for! Don't play.

Lol, aha, then no worries. I find I build/paint more than play myslef, unless someone wants a casual or story driven game. I'm getting to old to remember all the rules, but love that they finally gave "relics" to orks and my warboss can fire six shots, but if he rolls a one, it hits a friendly. So much orky fun, like back when Squigg Catapults kept launching the crew...

Anyway, enough of that, like the buggies, I suck at scratch building, how do you do the bending on the wheel wells?

Thanks!

Thanks guys.

@Red. Thanks bud. Glad its looking close.
@MT. Lol
@Gorgrimm. Thank you. Last time I played a proper game was the release of 5th.
As to bending PC, I heat it with a small kitchen blowtorch. Very carefully! Bend all sorts of things that way. But great care is needed.

Must get some sleep. See you soon.

Loving 'Da Buggeez'

With the dinosaur in the background, it's looking like an Orky version of Jurassic Park.

And would that be your mugshot on the photocard in the plastic cup?

Happy New Year Dakka!

Cheers! as it were

Cheers Cam, Happy New Year!

Thanks,

@ Ruglud, Jurrasic park indeed! (and wish you had not seen that!)

@ Gits Cheers bud.

Well I have been working, not as fast as I would like, been having some trials and tribulations with the resin casting mallarky, Its ok but problematic, and distracting, especially with setting times etc, and the kidsabout demanding, as they should be.

But I give you a progress report... Here is one of the casting issues I have had......

Rokkit Pods!..


And the Buggies....Heres No.3....



And together...





Well thoughts peeps? Any good?

Looks like they're in a car stereo competition!!

Jeep-like buggy does indeed look Jeep-like.

Dino' fact of the day: That would be an Iguanodon in the back there. Standing in the "old" fashion; before people realised that dino's had tails for balance and not to drag along the floor. But after the "old, old" fashion; where people thought the thumb spike went on the nose.

What's the problem you are having with the rocket pod casting?

Was it in here you were asking about resins, I read it somewhere?
The Smooth-on Smooth-cast resins I've used have been quite runny. Which I like for my injection moulding. And you've seen what the product looks like from that.

Oh yeah, maybe add some pointy bits for the rockets in the pods?

My only problem is that they all look EMPTY.

Rokkit buggies!

Great work on those buggies!

Why do I see teenage Orks driving around the back of a Squig station blaring out crappy music Cool buggies Cam

Those buggies look fantastic! Great work Cam!

Looking good. One of those launchers needs to launch harpoons in lieu of rockets.

For C&C... looks like you are having some trouble drilling clean holes, at least in the exhaust pipes on the one buggy? I've found that if you sleeve the 'pipe' on a piece of dowel, then drill, you can get a cleaner hole if you are using a drill bit.

Its not messy drilling its Ork style

I love your buggies Cam' !
I suck at converting anything (I'm happy when I swap two heads from different models) so I'm always impressed when I see people doing such kind of things.

I'd love to see them painted.
