Hi guys,

Ever since I saw the drawing of the Looted Wagon in the Ork Codex, I knew I wanted to recreate that in a model. The Leman Russ the Orks had looted was just covered with great Ork additions! So as I got more and more skilled in plasticard work, I decided it was time to give it a shot. I am putting up a full article on my blog: http://theadeptsforge.blogspot.com on its creation today. Here are some teaser images!









More images and full details on the blog later today!

JHall, I really like what you've done with the standard Looted Wagon. I could place the inspiration from the codex right away. Where did the bitz for the crow's nest come from?

Looks great!

The crow's nest is from the Ogre Kingdoms Bull Standard Bear. I shaved off the shield that normally makes up the back and added some extra plasticard plates and rivets. I also raised up the inside so that I could put one of the new plastic Grots in it. I will have this at the Bunker on Monday night if you want to take a closer look.

Not bad! i could feel how dakka is this.

Nice model, I'd be honored to blow that up! (JK it looks great.) can't wait to see it painted.

Looks like it's on its way to being a very nice model. Looted tanks are always some of my favorite vehicles to see.

Awesome as always...

Quick question - what are you using to make rivets?

I've yet to find a hole punch with a small enough hole size...

looks good. love the grot on the top

I made two different styles on this so far. One (the grey ones) are actually cut from unused parts of the battle wagon. I just shaved off the rivets from pieces and weapons that weren't being used. The others are just fine plasticard rod that I cut with an X-acto and glue on.

I'm thinking that this is the route I'll take as well...

Thanks!

Nice! That thing looks awesome.

As always very orky and alot of Dakka

The only criticism I can offer up is that I feel the turret is a bit too tall looking.

otherwise, I too have looked at that drawing (and the DOW looted Russes), and the one of the battlewagon, and thought it looked neat. If only I had a spare Russ body, I would make a good looted wagon.

Clean conversion that looks very orky.

Cool I at the momnent am also trying to(and I stress this word greaty),make a looted vechile.



(corrected spelling)

Orkses is going to kick ya asses.

Anyway good work can't wait to see it painted.

I think its a gret model, but the tower teeth bug me.

The blown sponson grot is great.

I love it! personally I always thought the grots should pilot EVERYTHING the Orks have. and seeing as youve some grots on there, your off to a good start lol. nicely done

Me like. You certainly got the feeling right, this is what looted tanks should look like. I especially like the grot shooting out the side.
