This is my version of Thraka, I call him Unta Da 'Ead Hunta. Still building the gun arm, but Im making progress and thought Id share. C&C as usual.

I'm really liking that Klaw.

I need to stop posting my pics at night before I goto bed. Almost 100 views and only Kaloran likes it?

Looks good.

Love the power claw - what are the finger tips from?

They are from the old school metal chaos dred. Its the tips on that...power scourge thing. Glad to see it finally came in handy, because Ive always hated that weapon lol.

This is going to look awsome! I love bionics!

Pretty Sweet so far. Cant wait to see a finished project =)

Keep at it. Good thus far.

I really like that Klaw!!! Can't wait to see more progress.

LOL

I agree that that weapon has always looked incredibly dodgy to me.

Good use of sprue etc as well.

I like this alot,very cool build,I'll be keeping an eye on this thread because I have to see how this turns out.

Looks cool.

Are those springs from pens? The ones you used for the fingers that is. Nice scratch-build. I'd say he could be a bit beefier or have some bionic upgrades and a thunder hammer-like weapon.

Very nice powerklaw I don't know how you got it to stay bent like that with the springs in there! Great work, post more as you finish him!!

That is looking pretty pimp. Cant wait to see ita bit further along

I´m just loving that you´ve used a piece of pasta in the arm, just lovin´ it!

keep the good work up!

Hey thanks everyone for the compliments. Few things to clear up lol. The "springs" in the hands are guitar strings. No way would springs stay bent like that. Honestly, for the second arm, I didnt use guitar string, it was a real pain to bend over at that small a piece.
And toroe, your pasta comment almost made hot chocolate shoot out my nose. The arm is made from 2 different ice cream sticks. The small clear one is from push pops, and the pasta looking one is from a patriot pop (my god I love those lol)

Anyways Ive got the gun arm done, and mounted. Now Im making a backpack/generator of Orkyness for his back. Thats where all the power cables will come from. He really is a giant tho. An IG is barely at his waist and a SM is about half his height. So in scale hes ABOUT 14 feet tall.

Pictures, please.

Wotever he said!

By the way that klaw is cool!

Good Job

OK As you can tell I pretty much finished Warboss Unta Da Ead Hunta. It took me about 2 weeks from start to finish and I am really happy with the end result. I need to do a few touch ups and what not but mostly I consider this killer of killers done. C&C as usual. AND DONT MAKE ME COMPLAIN THAT NO ONE IS RESPONDING!!!!

dang that thing is cool nice job

Is there ANY part of him that is still ork

Seriously thats some serious bioniks going on there. Ive gotta confess to loving the underslung shoota arm, oh and the pasta use

Zoggin' awesome

aaahhhh The pasta line made me laugh.
Actually the reason he is mostly robotics is from the fluff. Long story short, when he became the Warboss of his clan, they did what Orks do best, DRINK BEER! So a solid week of drinking later, he stumbles out, hits a bike, throws said bike, it hits a nearby promethium deposit, it falls and rolls into him, knocks him down, he gets mad! Then shoots the damn thing and blows himself to pieces lol. My god that was ALOT of commas.
Thanks for the comments BTW

Hi KK

I like the modelling, and you've said you will touch up the paint - I think he needs a little more difference in colour on the body.

The rust effect is cool however.

Yea the colors on the body do seem to blend, more so on these pics (damn cameras) That really was the hardest part for me. I just couldnt seem to get the shirt underneath the armor plating to stand out. No matter what I did. Honestly I think if I painted it BRIGHT PINK you still wouldnt see it lol

This was my thought as well,the rust effect rocks,the model looks great,but,the colors could use a few variations,the pants leg sort of gets lost in the rust effect,not sure if it's just the photo,perhaps consider darking the visable pants leg?,all in all a really cool conversion.

The camera I use takes pretty good pictures. BUT I notice it seems to drown out some colors. The pants are plenty dark. Infact in person Unta looks like the colors are separated plenty good, with the exception of the under shirt as I mentioned before.
Anywho, thanks for the rust effect compliments lol

Would you mind putting another ork in the pic so I can see the scale? Love the PK.

Thanks.

Oh yea I totally forgot about a scale. uh.... for now I can describe I guess. A regular boy comes to his hip, a nob/SM comes to his mid stomach. The AOBR warboss is a full head and shoulders shorter then my boss.

Hmmm, to be absolutly sure with myself! He is NOT Ghazkghull Thraka??? He is pretty much your warboss with uber mishaps that uses Thraka's rules yess?

Too much rust color as stated. Also I don't like the wires. They don't look right with the model. I'd find a smaller gauge or try something else. Also there is no need to have them different colors.
