So it was explained to me by a friend that for full conversion projects such as my own, I could start a full Blob, so I am. I showed the Looted Wagon in a P&M Thread, and decided last night to make a warbuggy. I couldn't find the right looking wheels, so I got the idea to use 2 marine bikes as the basis for my buggy. Here are the pics, everything looked great right up until the sides went on the buggy, at which point it started to look really clunky and stupid. I finished most of it, and will finish this one, but wondering about any advice for the next one.







Advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am extremely lukewarm on how this one turned out, but want to do one or two more.

It needs lots more gubbinz and bitz and rivets to make it orky, great start it just needs more orkiness, add some extra random plates to the armor. And some of the pics are blurry so I would recommend using a tripod to take photos.

Rivets, armor plates and smartly chosen bits will go leaps and bounds to help you with this project. Break up those flat planes with different geometric shapes using plasticard. Here is an example of a Gobsmasha I detailed:



Notice how I used thin strips of plasticard to break up the plane. You can cut these yourself, or get them from your local hobby shop. I hope this helps....it made me realize I need to finish painting and post my gobsmasha

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

I didn't have time to finish it since I stopped at 1am, but I plan to randomize it extensively. I am thinking on the nex one to saw off some of the outside of the bikes to thin it out a bit. Actually, now that I think of it, this might turn out ok, I will just have one buggy with the Extra Armor upgrade...Thanks for the comments, please keep them coming. after the next buggy, I start work on the warboss or some lootas
