Update:

Tonight set B of the ork boyz will, in all hope be completed with pictures. I will start set c of the boyz which will have me 3/4 of the unit complete.

You will all notice that I am not writing a lot about the Ork boyz unit. The is for the fact I do not want to bore you all with the same explaination through each set that I paint. It is just not fun for you guys who are reading. Once the boyz unit is complete I will open with a step by step of the conversion and the painting of Cam's grot monster trukk when it arrives

Keep at it sir.

Thank you cam I will

I may need to put the boyz down a bit and paint something else. I am hitting line-painting trauma

Just need to paint the armor and base and ork boyz set B will be done

Evening Dakka ,

I am looking to commission someone for a original artwork job. I am searching for an artist who can draw a comicbook/cartoonish art work that I will be able to use for a surprise for the blog. If anyone is interested, who is skill in the job, please PM and we can talk specifics.

I know what I am specifically looking for so please do not take offense if I do not choose due to ones art style.

@Cam the trukk just got here and it's better in person

Glad it made it ok. As I have said make any changes you like, its your baby now.

Update:
Good afternoon dakka

Do not worry, I did not forget about anyone and the project at hand. I am currently planning something for you, the subscribers, to enhance the goal of this project. This will be something that I did not do for the sisters but I will do for the Orks. I will have more updates on this surprise once I have the final t's crossed.

For the conversion I had some ideas that are taking shape and will be posted this evening. Please stand by

Good evening Dakka

Tonight I am going to give everyone the first insider the conversion for the Ork project.

You all may remember the previous conversion that is below. The photo is of the heavy conversion flyer that I planned to have for the sisters of battle project from last year, or what I like to call my little epic fail.



You see I have all these little crazy ideas for conversion, some that work and some that do not. The flyer us one of the ones that I say did not satisfy my creative intent. I do not want to throw it out. It cost over $400. I thought to take it apart and salvage what I can from it, then that is where I realize what I need to use it. The Orks! I came up with a diagram (that I forgot to scan) to create an Orkish weapon of mass destruction.

You all will have the daily updates of the builds and step by step photo of the conversions. I hope that you will enough it.

This I cannot wait to see.

Looks amazing. subbed.

Here is the main body of the ork weapon. This will be the base shape with the bane blade and the flyer. The goal is to make a pirate ship bane blade with bug guns and and cannons. I will have some more when the glue drys lol

The super is going slowly but steady. I am scratch building some of the parts so I am sorry about the wait.

Now the other special part of the project will be announced soon. This is something that I have explain before that will bring you the subscribers into the project at add a little something extra to the experience.

Sneak Peak:

Good Evening Dakka Subscribers

I know this is something that you will not usually see in a blog but I want this blog to change the rules a bit.

In 2013, I themed my army on parade for breast Cancer Awareness. I felt that I did a great job promoting the modeling and painting part of the blog but not the Awareness part. I felt that I think that I had missed an opportunity that could have been great.

This year I think that I will give you all a little peak of what I have in store. I had commissioned one of DakkaDakka talented members, Grey_Death, design an artwork that will issue in this event that I am planning.



I will have my own DakkaDakka Charity t-shirt sale and raffle within the next few weeks. Please note I tell all that you can because all profits will go to an Autism Research Charity ( I will have a specific one chosen before full details of event are reveal)

Before I institute this, I will have to check with the Admins of Dakkadakka to see whether they will allow me to do this.

Once details are out I will inform everyone and if there are any questions, please let me know

Put me down for a t-shirt. Brilliant.

Awesome idea

Update project:

Tonight I am going out to pick up some PVC pile for the super heavy. The pirate ship idea I now believe is a little overdone but I am enjoying giving the grots some love with there own superheavy and cams grot trukk(which is freaking awesome in person.

Update on special event:

The charty information I will write up and post this weekend for Monday. As I state in the sneak peak, this will be both a t-shirt sale and raffle. I am raffling of some NIB models that I believe that I no longer need: example NIB LANDRAIDER Crusader/redeemer . The tees are more than like be around $20 per shirt, which will include shipping and handling both domestic and international. I will work this like the dakka dice ordering page. Those who do order a shirt(s) will be placed in the raffle as well.

If this doesn't bring the community together, nothing will

Update on special Event:

Here is a quick glimpse of the raffle prizes support for my first Charity event. Hopefully it goes well



I will release all information for t-shirt and Raffle sales on October 1 (Eastern time).

Now hopefully this event will go well

Good Afternoon DakkaDakka

I am here to greet you all to my first attempt of a charity that will benefit those who are subscript to this blog and the families that hopefully this function can help.

Why am I doing this? What is my Purpose?
The Simple answer is “because I can”. Within the last year in a half I have been taking on projects, as you all know, Road to Armies on Parade which I have chosen charitable themes to advance the awareness of the topic at hand. I did not feel like I contributed enough on the Breast Cancer Awareness. I made the army colors and the pink ribbon to symbolize the theme of the army but added nothing to the cause. Now I am taking a small risk and adding more to the cause for this year by holding a charity event of the blog.

Charity? What charity?
I am holding the first Road to Armies on Parade Charity T-Shirt and Raffle to help out those who this cause. I will be taking orders for the T-Shirt of the month of October. All T-Shirts will be made to Order so sizes are not a problem.



Did you draw the Design on the T-shirt? Where are the T-shirts coming from?
The Answer is simple, nope. I had commissioned one of DakkaDakka own, grey_death, to draw the art work for the t-shirt and I am happy with the work that he had done to help out. I am purchasing the T-shirts through www.ooshirts.com.

How much will the T-Shirts cost me?
Each T-Shirt cost $20 per. This is for all Size S to 3XL. There is not a minimum on the amount of shirt per order. The $20 price will include the following: T-shirt, Shipping and Handles, and 1x Raffle ticket. Any and All Profits will be donated to OAR: Organization of Autism Research http://www.researchautism.org/. Due to the Printable Donation Form, all will receive a copy of the form and the Donation Receipt as well as a invoice from me.

What did I hear about a Raffle?
This event will also hold a raffle for some NIB Warhammer 40k items. The three large items will be random: NIB Landerraider, NIB Leman Russ, NIB Dread Knight, Plus a few smaller prizes such as Reaper Miniature, Gameszone, etc. You will be able to Purchase extra Raffle Tickets at the Cost of $5 per ticket. Drawings for the Raffle will be Monday November 4th. Only those who purchase T-shirt will be eligible for the extra ticket sales.



Can I win more than one prize?
One Raffle ticket, Once Prize.. Multiple Tickets, sky’s the limit
