You think his stuff is absurd? (its great no argument there)
But really you have not been to some of the blogs I have. Take this for instance:

Some over the top ridiculously absurd plasticard skills from japan

Just found and looked through the thread, I really like where you go and your use of parts (that belt is a great use of parts). Excuse me for not reading the entire thread and if this has been brought up, I think you're using too many colors on the paint job. The model work is incredible otherwise. Keep it up.

Thanks for your kind words and constructive criticism.

I think you and I are the only ones who have thought that I was using too many colors on my models. However I told myself that most of the parts that the orks used to build those vehicles came from different locations/ vehicles.
So keeping to that Idea I like to vary my paint job a bit. But the main scheme stays the same:
1. Mechrite Red
2. Macharius Solar Orange
3. Mordian Blue
4. Shadow Grey

Any other color is just to show that the orks have not gotten around to repainting the material.

Yeah, I see your thoughts behind it. I would normally subscribe to the multicolor due to the logic of looting all your parts. I tell myself that the speed freak driving this thing would insist on fresh paint!

Sorry your speed freaks are out of luck (my vehicles are driven by mekboyz!)
And I have some progress.



The KFF array is coming along smoothly It will also have more projektah gubbinz added because this is where the powah field will emanate from.
Also the Twin linked rokkit launcher has a full range of motion!

Nice rokkits!

Like the moving options on those rokkitz!

Rare Earth Magnets FTW!

Those Rokkits are seriously sweet.

Well, everyone seems to like the rokkits. Maybe you'll like them even more now!



And some more work on the Pretectah field (combination KFF and Power field)
YAY WIRES!






You can also see in the background of the Protectah field some work I did to the Big Mek Battle Fortress.
It's the start of a turret platform on which one of the big gunz will be mounted.

I'm also working on bringing a ridiculous idea into the world.
A turret mounted Deff Arsenal.

WHAT!? a turret mounted, 120" range strength 9 AP 3 conglomeration of destruction?
Yes and with D3 supa rokkits fired every turn, why not?
Don't worry It will be suitably bristling with gunz and rokkits
It will however clean out a lot of my extra weapons.
(I better keep some for when I work on my stompa)

Sweet. I like those rockets too. I really like your uses of wire, I'm going to have to remember it if I can do some orks someday.

Lotz a good muckin' about here!

I have made even more progress. First I started on that Deff arsenal

As you can plainly see only have maybe half of the rokkits on there that I should ( ) But that will have to do.

I also started work on one of the guns for the deff arsenal:

Almost suitably orky.

And I decided to move my Kff to a different spot and only have the powah field projecter be on the top:


I think it looks to have enough power feeds now.

I also did a little work on the powah field but forgot to take pics.

Here is that Picture I forgot to take of the Power Field (hurray for inconsistent spelling ) Progress


I also got side tracked yesterday and started work on making a big trakk.


I cannot seem to find the top to the hellhound turret anywhere so it looks like I will have to build one.
also this big trakk will be all flame templates. 1 Supa-scorcha and 4 regular scorchas.


And as I was taking images off of my SD card I ran across a flash git i made a couple weeks ago.





Enjoy!

I like the Flash Git, especially his gun. Is that just a Kombi-Rokkit, an Assault Cannon and some extra cables - or is there more to it than that?

There is also a chunk of a star cannon or plasma cannon in there.

I think I might have the top of that Hellhound turret, actually. Found something that looks like it might fit in the gap in one of the bitz bags you gave me a while ago.


And I have to ask if you were influenced at all by my own Flash Gits, with the backpack power pack and cabling.

@Anvildude I don't think I gave you the part I'm looking for. And I don't think your flash gits came to mind when I made that one.

And some progress on the big trakk.


I was originally going to re-mount the heavy flamer there, but Instead I was again inspired to do something unusual. This a scope was born!


Here is one of the scorcha sponsons. I will be adding some detail to that white plasticard strip in the form of rivets (honestly who doesn't like rivets?).


Here you can see that I used those resin treads I had originally bought for use on the mega battle fortress. Also in this picture is a completed view scope.


Under that ugly looking cover is a gap in the tracks, unfortunately not large enough to put another link in but still big enough to be a total buzz kill.

Those tracks are absolutly awesome- they look even better in person!

Just cut a track similar in size and move the gap to the bottom of the tank.

*Facepalm* I can't believe I didn't think of that.

The tracks are on!


as well as some exhaust stacks.

Great Traks, love this model already !

If anyone is interested in buying tracks like those, here is a link to the creators ebay store

Oh and I'm glad you like it SelvaggioSaky

Well I will be trying not to taking any more detours and will now be committing myself to painting. So expect some orks with color and a finished junka and battlewagon.
Pics to follow later today.

as you can plainly see, I have started on a Big mek with a KFF. Not done of course. And I still have to find his head and arm

Alright so I've gone back to work now (as in a paying job) so hobby time has been severely decreased. However I will be playing a 14k apoc battle tomorrow (7k vs. 7k, 1 on 1) and will be taking pics, so if anyone is interested I will post them.

I'm interested

Like wise.

Show and tell the battle please!

Alright pics it is. Unfortunately don't expect a super detailed play by play report to go along with it sorry but i play hard and fast.

Okay so the game went well. I'm currently uploading pics then its off to church for palm sunday afterwards expect a mediocre play by play with some blurry photos (my camera takes superb close ups but you would not guess how much fail is produced in regular pics (or maybe i fail idk))

Ok so i realized that It will be a good idea to make a downloadable document with the battle report in it because it will make clarifying locations of models easier. I will attach a PDF file to this post once it is done.
This file will have some pictures from the battle and some computer generated pictures from vassal 40k. And I will also add mapped images.
I'm sorry but I think that everyone will be able to get more out of the report this way and, I will be able to add more information to it.
