well i wanted one!!! nuff said.

sorry for the glare this plastic was cheaper than the white and black.

need ideas for where the gun will be place already got a piece for the barrel of the gun though.

right, 2 sugestions.... one for the model 1 just in general...

you could make it slightly off center(there orks IF they get it central they obviously stole it or its complete coinsodence) and the bigger the better, just make sure you get a relitivly propotyional tube for the gun...

and as for the second sugestion.... SLAP HIM!!!!!! if he poses like that then its deservid....

no im asking if it should be like the vindicator gun or on a turret on top or like itss a moving missle base with rockets ejecting off the top from holes and hitting targets.

hmmm, good question, i generaly prefer turret myself, but they can be a bit of fun to set up, both are about the same, just the turret you need a turret for, depends on your resources. look arround see what you could scrabble together.... turret allways look good, and you could have it crooked or at an angle. the hull mounted gun i think allways makes tanks look stumpy though... but depends on what you can get a hold of to use...

ok added more stuff on it and its a moving missle silo.

sry im not to good at making scratch stuff

are those tracks on the side? If so they are WAY to small for the wagon. Good start tho. The best part about looted wagons is you can really make them look however you want, because its a stolen piece of weaponry. (ALSO I hate it when people think orks cannot or care not to make things centered it bugs me) I used an old basilisk for a base on my looted wagon. I took off the earthshaker because it looked to skinny for Ork standards and stuck a BIG ASS cannon on there. I should load up more pics of it since i redid the cannon, ANYWAYS really its all about feel. Make it look more like a russ.... or dont. Make it opentopped.... or dont how ever you want it to look is all gravy. Just remeber we are ORKS!

the only reason i said not to be centered cos orks tent to be a bit less caring about that kinda stuff, if it shoots and turns it doesnt matter... but hey, everones diffrent, nice job btw, itll be good to see how it comes out,

did you slap your friend btw?

Really like the missile silo idea good one and nicfely original. Your scratch-building is actually fairly good. Are the things to the side meant to be track guards? If so they could do with being bigger they look much to weak for the size of the model.

lookin kool

ok update 3d model wise!!!

thanks to blender.org

well i think im almost at the final version oh and the missile is an objective marker. and i do know looted wagons are not allowed deff rollas just like them okay!!!! but i might use it as a reinforced ram.

isnt kinda dangerous to have that battery on there?

enmitee wrote:isnt kinda dangerous to have that battery on there?

ya kinda but im not going to try and drop it. Am I!!!! i all ways try to be careful with my models and with something that big I dont think its gonna be too hard i hope.

i mean like, the battery fluid can leak out when the metal coating weathers. just so you know.

true but i think that'll be hard with paint over it

I agree with Enmitee, using the battery is a bad idea, it's not a question of "if it will leak?", it's "when will it leak?" And a coat of paint will not stop that.

But beyond the choice of a battery, cool project.

HFN

holy crap are you guys are friggin SISSYS!!!


seriously you people are insnae. its a double A battery. The worst that will happen... is he throws it away and no one gets hurt. Ive used things like that before with no problems. Keep using it. and make those tracks BIGGER

Good idea ysing a battery

besides batterys never leak when in the cupboard whats going to make it leak now?????

im in agreement with kingcracker, leave the battery in place

It also depends on the brand of battery. plus it wont leak intill several years later, plus it is not connected to a electrical circuit.

can i ask about the model and what you think not if the battery is a good idea

lookin good, now all you gota worry about is makin the rocket/launch er/pad look orky(not 2 hard)

I like it it is a good idea however it needs to be covered in armour. Orks aren't famous for having smooth vehicles. For that i recommend textured plasticard and rivets make from plasti-rod.

well mabye mine is so there!!! i dont have that stuff anyway

ok i know it doesnt look that good and the wheels suck big time but here is my first truck havent got the glue right now ran out but im gonna add some spikes and stuff.....
the gun is here just havent also figured out where to put it.

its cool i dont konw wot ur sad about.

your looted wagon looks good, it will look ever better vwith an awsome paint job(not hard for orks, if you dont want it golden demon standard)

trukk looks good all it needs is BIGGER wheels

awsome stuff so far!!!

just a small sugestion.... you could try using slightly thinner plasticard.... its ALOT easyer to cut if it isnt like 3 inches thick, and another little tip is to draw out rough ideas dirst, get a rough size and work from there. tryin to keep things kinda neet as you go on, then make it orky,

but so far good job, i agree with the wheels needin a bit of a boost... i found coke bottle tops(plastic screw off ones) were quite a good size btw, just dressing them up takes a couple of attempts, but then again, there cheep and cheery, so if you screw it up its never so bad... just buy another bottle...

well really with 10 10 10 armor and the fluff these things are light cheap and unrealiable so i wanted to potray that in my trukk gonna use the big wheels for battlewagon gonna come soon doing rough sketch right now
