that tank concept... I am eager to see more development on this one... it is quite a big thing and I like tanks with a bit of a room to stretch out yon feet

copter is coming along great!

Yeah, be nice to see a full on built tank or arty piece.

Thank you guys.

Sorry not much of an update catching up on sleep. (lol says he sat here at 4 in morning!!)

Couple pics.

The beginnings of a helipad.



Fuel tank.



Doors to engine rooms.



C & C welcome please.

Nice work so far! that's one hell of a fuel tank

how many bikes and kopptas will it be able to store?

ha! starting with a landing pad smells a lot like sidetracking within a project

fuel tank looks very orky! and the engine entrance

More must be seen to see how many bikes/koptas it can handle

Well gentlefolks, here is a small update, a scale pic for you and a question.....

The thinking behind this thing, is as I have said a mekboys mobile workshop. But its orkz in it, so its going to have guns. And grot crew. So I guess in game it would count as a battlewagon maybe, plenty of transport room for boys, and a few guns? To be honest I just make the models I never game anyway so it will never see a battlefield.

Anyways here's the pics.

Helipad in elevated position.



Helipad in lowered (battle) position.



Scale shot!!



Ok it's quite big

And where to put the fuel tank?

Here...


Or here...


If it's at the back I can run a "hose" to the helipad, and pipes to engines, Did think about putting it on a framework, bit like a water tower, be kinda typically orky really, but not sure. Anyway, what do you guys think on positioning of fuel tank?

HAHA! Awesome helipad and i prefer the fueltank on the back looks much more orky and you get alot more room for troops in there.


i don't think you'll be able to play it as a battlewagon though.. that thing is just HUGE!! i mean i thought it was big before. but now with that scaleshot.. wow..

Oh that will be so good on an Apocalypse table!

Place fuel tank on the second location and some kind of combustion engine in the first spot. A big one! Dont forget turrets Perhaps mount one to the under side of the heli pad?! that be pretty kick'in. Oh! haha good joke, move pad during landing.


EDIT: Also at the second location give it some support beams and stuff, make it look stuck to the frame rather than silly sitting there.

ha... where have I seen a tank with a mobile helipad too?... hmmmm....

I agree with comrade... the fuel tank on the back.. and the hose of course...

and some way to protect itself... turrets or gunports... that stuff... preferably with lots of grotz

OH! you're talking about the one you never finished?!


and i second the EDIT that comrade said

LoL, DiDDe, LOL!

sheeshh... didde... no one was supposed to remember....

I agree for the back position of the fuel tank.

well, i had forgotten about it until you dropped that comment.

so now i guess you just have to start building it again after the airship's done that is!

Great progress cam, I think the tank on back is the way to go. As for weapons...obviously flame weapons with hoses from the fuel tank. When copters land to refuel they then see an all out of fuel sign because he fuels been used for attack/defense, and cooking food. The copter then can be dumped unceremoniously over the side till the next copter lands. Each time the ork deck crew takes out the little remaining fuel in the tanks and another heave-ho the tank never runs dry.

And I like the idea that the landing pad can elevate or drop down

Thank you guys, I agree it's at the back.

Really need to get a move on, or will not be done in time for comp. I have to finish a week early as I am holiday from the 8th til the due date. So sorry for lack of pics here but got to get on with it and not be distracted by all the amazing work you guys are doing across dakka dakka.

Here are some pics..more in gallery.

Fuel tank in place. Hope the gantry work is ok.



Pic of dry fit on helipad etc.



Burna emplacement at front. Another of these on other side in progress as we speak.



Feedback please. See you soon, because if I am not finished by tomorrow evening there is little hope I will finish in time.

Cheers

Needs a lick o' red paintjob!

Like the way is looking already.
What the plan for the driving place?

Ok here we go, several days of labour later.....

Pics speak for themselves I hope. Obviously still WIP, but got a chance of having something to enter in comp....






And some close ups....






And final is close up of idea stolen from DiDDe for baskets...



As always thank you for looking and please leave comments.

Cheers.

Dat looks right proppa' it does! Gud Orky tek!

Good job. Very orky.

So you took the colseup pics first i see. there is no flames on the doors there. but it is on the oter pics.

anyway! it looks really great so far. just weather that think to oblivion now and you're done! xD well that, and giving the driver a head...

Plainly amazing!

Love everything about It, from the concept to the execution, details are awesome and the driver looks like a crane operator and that's exactly as I was envisioning It...

that's It!

cool... tho needs lots of weathering...

the baskets could use a bit hammering and bending those wires ...

the cortroling ork i see at his comp... looks cool...
you really have put in this build lots of perfect looking details...

Oh vik dat's just da drivah!

Thank you guys.

@ all. Thank you for your comments and feedback.

@Vik, I will be adding some damage in general soon.

Ok guy's sorry for slow updates, first was busy building then was work now am a bit sick, just in time for going on holiday next week. Anyways....

Couple pics. More to come, I am trying not to put too many pictures up. I have put a few more in my gallery.

Every Mekboy's Mobile Workshop (MMW) needs a KFF Generator, but wait, if it's only got a 6" zone and the vehicle is way bigger!!! Ah a huge generator with pillion's around the vehicle to spread the powerfield. Yes that will work. Ok first up Huge Kustom Force Field Generator.

In construction, so you may see how it was made....ish.


Primed and resting in place so you can see roughly what we are looking at.



Hope you like will update again later tonight, I got maybe 48 hours to finish this or it will not be done for comp, so here goes nothing.

that underside thingy looks non GW? what is it from?
and i am a sucker for tesla coils... these ooze so much coolness! and even added cogs! oh... and while we are at it... that orange part... where is that from?
