I'm an acorn small and round.

Sitting on the cold hard ground.

People come and step on me.

That is why I'm cracked you see.

I'm a nut. Tocktock. I'm a nut. Tocktock.

I'm a nut. I'm a nut. I'm a nut. Tocktock.

HAHAHA
WTF MAN
+10 internetz for you schank you can have em

Okay, now that Schank is done singing a quaint little rendition of I'm a little tea pot, here are some images. Once I get the base complete and the LED work done (don't count on that to be anytime soon, LEDs and what not take time to order and all) I will sit down and do a real photo shoot.
First, I want you all to see my cock. . . pit, perv. Notice the little IG face on the targeting screen. Cut it out of an old White Dwarf. Took at least 30 minutes to get right.



I do have the plastic bubble canopy to go over the top of the cockpit but I need to add the metal beam and struts to it to make it match the rest of the model.

Here is a few shots of the bottom from different angles.



Oh, I will be working on the smoke effect from my stormboy models that I learned from the tutorial I posted earlier. All three rockets are going to have huge vaportrails coming out the back that wrap in a downward spiral around the acrylic tube. This should give a little bit more of an impression that he is spinning wildly out of control.

Here is one of the whole shebangabang. Still lots of work to do on the base to make it more stable, and well, cooler looking. I plan on adding little squigy footprints and just other random stuff to kinda of spruce it up as well as show off the jungle terrain my army lives in.


Lastly here is the bull squig not done but started, the regular cow squigs stay in the secret folder until completion.

"Moo motherf***er! MOO!"

yay your alive , cant wait to see the pics

AWESOME!!!
I love it as what dit you want to count it again?
the spiral smoke wil be pretty awesome I believe I can picture it now.

Gonna count as a fighta bomma. Gonna use the base cost and subtract the weapons, and add in a lifta droppa and a zzap gun. think the points are like 180 can't remember.

That is ridiculously cool. A job well done, sir!

i could'nt see the pics before........ :O that squig bull is EPIIIIIC!!!!!!!
and the ship is looking cool too

So it was Orks at Roswell.... not little grey men, but big green fungi.

Correct, and dey came down and krumped everything good. Well, in the beginning of "Hell Week" as we call it at work. 4 12 hour day shifts with all higher ups and managers present and accounted for. Gonna be a rough one. Not going to get anything done till thursday night at the earliest. Gonna get back to painting Schanks mini since he is so far along with mine. I think I am going to begin preparations for finishing up Mecha Waaaghzilla. That means lots of daydreaming and sketching. How to make the tail and the howdah are the two big complications right now.

I should have your ready to mail next week. Going out of town for the weekend or I'd have ti done already.

"Chicken Potpie my three favorite things." Pablo Fransisco. Got a buddy coming over today, I am going to start teaching him how to paint. So hopefully he can help me finish up squads of orks faster. Plan on working on the saucer then too. Cheers!

So, I got more work done on the saucer project . About the only real thing left to do is the contrails I think that is what they are called on the missles, and the metal canopy cover, and I should be done. Of course I have to wire the LEDS in the base, and make them light the tube, but I am not sure which kind to order or what color would look best. I was thinking either Ultraviolet, or some kind of really bright white. Something to really make it light bright. Any thoughts on color? Regardless, here are some images.



This is the whole dealy. Not really a great picture, but pretty good.

Here are 3 shots of the base, squigs, some kind of marsh plant, and a Birch Tree. I realize now that I forgot to put the black lines across it, like Birch trees have.


As always questions, comments, and concerns are welcome. Off to a pool party! *deuces*

very very nice indeed

Something that's always bothered me about that saucer is the top section. The Rokkits are attached to the outer shell, right? And they're spinning, right? Well, wouldn't that make the Zzap gun spin around as well? Could make it a mite difficult to target stuff in that case.

I could see something like a little groove, or double ring right around the edge of the top plate, to sort of show that it 'stays in position' when the rest of the saucer spins...

And you should see if you can get the Cow-squig to float...

Well, really the missles are attached to the outer ring, so it is possible for just the outer ring to spin while the top and bottom stay stationary. I kinda went into this whole thing with only a vague idea, so it's really not perfect, or even well thought out. Kinda like an ork. I figured if people said that the zzap gun spun with the rest of it, I could say that is why he misses so much and accounts for his horrible BS. You get off a tilt a whirl and try and shoot a target from 300 yards away.

I was thinking about the floating squig, only problem is, I am out of squigs. I need to get one that I can attach to a flying stem, and I can stick it in the tube as well, above the other one. Maybe tomorrow I can call the hobby shop and see if he has any. Need one of the ones that looks like it's running or jumping to seal the illusion. Other than that Anvildude, I am happy with it. Anyone else? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Hahaha are you sudgesting an ork aims before he shoots. You sir are daftly, daftly like Jack

enough with the movie refrence
Schank & Frawg +1 internet for your combinations


ok all silyness aside it's lookin really good frawg cant wait for the light I'd make it violet that would look more creepy. Would not make it ultraviolet because that would be invisible and only burn ya skin.

I think they mean it is just a very light purple color. I doubt it is on a spectrum you can't see. Yeah, my electrician buddy was supposed to come over this weekend and help me, but apparently he is becoming quiet the "doucher". One of these days when he comes over I will order the LED's and the wire, soldering paste and batteries and get this thing lit. Until then I am just going to work on my Deff Knight and my basic troops and things to get my army more filled out.

Well yea I guess he means violet cause ultraviolet is definitly not visible to us puny humans
Orks I am not so sure

So, my monthly vacation has come to an end, and I didn't get a lot done. I did however get started on Gorkatron, the Big Mek leader of my Dred Mob. I figured I would get him done because he would take less time than MekaWaghzilla, and Unholy Martyr did buy me the Dread Knight for that specific purpose, so I might as well put him together. 2 days of converting, and he is ready to paint. Sadly I won't be able to do that until Tuesday of next week. Just be prepared for ork madness mixed with a little kunnin.

So, I got a little work on my Morkatron figure. Sadly I had to snap a quick pic with my phone and head to work, but I figured something was better than nothing.

Body shot of Morkatron and also one of a close up of the head. As always questions, comments, concerns, and criticism are always welcome.



Live long and WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

thats fricka frakin awesome! the only thing that could make that cooler is if it could transform

Very nice. Now if we can get him and Orktamis Prime to fight we would be in business.

Would love to play the guy that created the Orktimus Prime model. Maybe one day.

Fan-freakin tastic!!! I love his arm cannon. If anyone asks you if it's WYSIWYG, you should casually tell them that Morkatron is "More than meets the eye".

SMH Yeah, I figured it could be either a kustom mega blaster or a Big shoota. Love the model, can't wait to finish painting it.

Good to see the saucer almost done it needs a cow squig mid tube though. As for LED colour, well you can't go wrong with green.

Not a huge fan of the Morkatron. I think its the head, have you thought of losing it?

Bangbangboom wrote: Not a huge fan of the Morkatron. I think its the head, have you thought of losing it?

Actually, the head is the part that makes Morkatron what he is. It is my favorite part. If I had to change anything on it, the chest cavity would be removed, or made smaller. makes him look kinda fat.
