I probably won't due to lack of time as it's holidays at the moment and I want to expand my scenery collection but I might do.

Sure, as long as you have pics
Stormravens also count as looted vehcles

I'm'a workin' on a Stompa. So count me in.

Ok

Any more competitors?

cant people just join as the competition goes on?

its easier if he gathers people at the start so he knows for certain how many people are in it.

They can, but, as Blackhoof said, it's easier if I get most of the competitors now

Ok with some assistance from my grot helpers (my 2yr old and 4 yr old) I have started on a stompa here's the wip so far. Lots and lots of rivits going to be needed!

and the back

Im not sure if the size 100% correct its about 8 or nine inches tall so hopefully close enough. Gotta build gun arm and details now. The 4 yr old(I mean grot helper no.1) selected most of the pieces out of my junk box and he decided it needed a wrecking ball.

i see

I would like to get in on this. I would like to build an Ork Dirigible. What category is that?

Um, I'll look into that

I'm working on a mega-dread right now, so count me in!!

Check it out here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/383812.page or at my brand new blog with all of one post, here: http://dawerkshop.blogspot.com/

For the lazy, here is one shot:



I am also toying with doing a superheavy... just can't decide if I want to do a Landa, a Krawla, or a Kill Tank.

And some info for my fellow InsaniMeks, knock it off with that cheap cereal box cardboard!! Well, don't knock it off if it is all you have to work with, but check this out: http://www.lairdplastics.com/ . I bought a 4' x 8' sheet of .040 plasticard (just a fraction over 1mm, which is .039) for $24. Just to price compare, a 7" x 11" piece of the same from plastruct is $5.50 for 5. That is (approximately, since I don't want to do real math) more than 8 times the material for the same price.

They have locations all over the place: http://www.lairdplastics.com/locations-list

I'm a little bit of a hobby snob, sure, but when you can work with better materials, why not?

I should really read the whole thread, lol. Put me down for all of the above. I'm gonna make them anyways, so why not?

Also, I will try my hand at a Savage. What did we figure the dimensions would be again?

Sure!

The Savage was 12.5 feet long, so bigger than most tables, even Apoc ones.

150" long,
Highest point is 85.5cm, don't know how many " that is though..

veritechc - how big a dirigible are you planning? That might help with the categorisation, possibly a bomma or mega-bomma, maybe get a general heavy/super-heavy flyer category going? That might cover a lot of the orky goodness that might come this way

What? Ork's kan't have Zeppelinz?

They can, but I haven't made a category for it yet

Matt.Kingsley wrote:150" long,

40-50" off the top of my head. i would say about 43 to be more precise.



build a savage!? insanity!

it is simply too big to use in even an apocalypse game.

although, if you have a modelled interior you could play games in it and make IT the board.

That's what was suggested to proto

I would like to enter, when is this compitition ending as I have money issues? Ohh right end date is 2012 right in that case put me down for a fighta bomber and a gargant. Anyone mind shooting me a pm for gargant measurements as the graph suggests a size approx 20.5cm tall and 10cm ish wide and that sounds a bit small...

That's for the mek boy gargant
Normal gargant is 30cm tall

Or, about the length of your foot. Or the Queen's foot.

Some work done on the megadread.

I'm not reposting everything , so go here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/383812.page

I have noticed that the scale on the big picture is one inch per little square which means the cm measurements for each square are roughly 2.5 cm per side not 1.5cm, actualy ita about 2.457something something I can't recall the exact number but it's close enough to 2.5cm as makes no difference, I hope that helps people scale their creations correctly, I'm sorry if someone has already mentioned this.

Ok, checked again, 1 meter is 1.5 cm
Each box is 1 meter

atm I have a speed freeak army almost finished, so I'd love to post some pics of my vehicles. Also would really like to do a fighta (fastest thing for a ork!)

Might have a crack at something in 6mm, The question though is what..hmmmm Oh dear

Sure.
Ohh, and each box isn't 1 meter.
Each box = 0.5 meters!
Wait, that doesn't work either...

We have to find a solution!

The frame is about 2 feet long. Its going to be an DefKopter Carrier too.

Don't worry I made it it's own catagory

You are quite correct, I didn't see your post!
