Finally, an update I can be proud of!

Here we go, pelvis/hips/upper leg/knee complete. The torso is just resting on the hips, I'll attach permanently once the legs are complete. Without further ado:

Voila!

Those ork speeders are really creative. Nice work.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Well, from the amount of wips showing up I can tell this will be a close contest

**Primarch_of_mechmarines**

I have decided I would like to do a version of the Krawla, that is bristling with "dedd 'urty gubbinz".
I have talked to Matt.Kingsley and was given a green light to enter it.
I have already started the vehicle itself and will be posting pics as soon as I can

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ohh and a heads-up for all those people who want to join but think it is too late to sign up, it is not!
The only thing you need to do is:
1. Tell us you are joining
2. Tell us what you are doing (and if you can do it if it isn't on the list...)
3. ...There is no 3. ......

There, 2 simple steps!

**DeathGod**

I'll have a nice little tease for you here matt, in just a little bit...

**Primarch_of_mechmarines**

Okay here is the start of my Ork krawler

Sorry for the very dark pictures, I work in my basement. I'll try to take them upstairs from now on.

Here is a front view of it.

The toy that its built off of is 13 inches long which is a bit short for a Krawla and it seems to me the it might not be wide enough either. however, fear not, I am sure I will figure something out with suggestions from all of you and from the suggestion of my local gaming friends.

After Looking at the tracks that the toy come with I decided that they are very wimpy and needed some work, so the first thought in my head was, Use the beneblade side from the abandoned scratch built baneblade.

so I decided to mount that on top of the toy tracks like so:

I still have to make another one for the other side. And I also need to buy some of these:

*I apologize for the blurriness of these pics too, I will make sure that they come out better in the next update*

**DeathGod**

So, I have had absolutely zero motivation to work on the megadread the last couple days. But that doesn't mean I haven't been working...

So, what the hell is this? Is that some cool ork terrain? It's pretty big...

From the side it's... even bigger. But what is it?

But wait, I think I get it... look what the ork is standing next to now. I think it's... yeah... it's a jet turbine intake. And it's HUGE!

You guessed it (I hope!), it's definitely a Bommer! i have decided yet if it's a standard bommer, or a Blasta Bommer yet... though I certainly love the idea of a Deff Arsenal airstrike. I also love the idea of transporting Stormboyz into battle. Damn sexirrific. Anyways, onto the build...

So here is an engine (there will be four) further along:

The foamcore sticking off the side is gthe beginnings of the wing mount onto the main fuselage.

Front view of the engine nacel. The only detail work I have done is on the interior blades, so that I didn't have to work on them around the housing. Other detailing will be a long time coming.

Cut and pasted from my P&M thread.

Same here!

now, some of you have been wondering why I haven't posted WIP picks yet, well:
a. I'm still planning (cause I wanna win so I don't have to pay for postage

)
b. I don't have the materials yet
c. When I was getting ready to get the materials, I got broken into and they stole my money I saved up for orks (and chaos...)

anyway, keep them WIPs coming!

**mullet_steve**

Sorry to hear about the burglery dude... I look forward to seeing eventual wip pics.

I myself am waiting on warmill for my stuff

What do you mean you don't want to pay for postage, are you saying that the winner receives all the other participants vehicles?

Also I too am very sorry too hear of your burglary.

And now onto a progress report.

After running out of glue for a day, I have resumed building. Currently I am constructing a second Baneblade side to match the one which i attached in my previous post.

I used to use rectangular supports to strengthen pieces during and after gluing, now however, I use triangular supports as they are much stronger and have more surface area.

Thats all for now

**Matt.Kingsley**

No, the trophy

**Primarch_of_mechmarines**

Oh that makes more sense

**Matt.Kingsley**

He he he

**Sin_Un_Nombre**

Alright, screw it I'm in. Unless it's too late to enter, in which case just disregard me. But anyway, I started on a couple Killa Kans and a Grot Tank tonight, but I may also build a Fighta...or a Trukk...or some bikes. Basically, whatever my cute little ADD mind can come up with and lay out the pieces for. Thanks.

Jon

EDIT: Also, if I'm allowed to enter, I'm going to start a blog once I have some good WIP pictures to post, and I'll just link from my blog over here.

**Matt.Kingsley**

you're allowed to join

**Primarch_of_mechmarines**

Ok I've made a bit of progress today, but this time work took place at the FLGS.

The First thing I did was mount the second scratch built Baneblade side.

I also started work an a hull mounted turret

And of course it is magnatized

And what would a turret be without weapons

The weapon on the left hand side is obviously some sort of kannon, which i decided is a better version of the killkannon, which i call a "Big-Dakka-Kannon"
range: 48" Str:8 Ordnance Barrage 2, 5" blast

While the other Gun is a Big Zzappa which will be getting more gubbinz added to it soon
