I am currently building a killa kan from plasicard, and a sentinel's body as the chassis, and am working on the Melee weapon for the thing, i have it nearly done, but i need to ask, which would you think would look better?

A spinning Screwdriver's head, or a Jackhammer-type thing?

They both use the same parts, but would look slighty different when i finish it up, and yes, i am using a real screwdriver's head, it's from one of those screwdrivers you get in Christmas crackers.

If i'm not clear enough, please tell me, and thanks.

EDIT: I'll post a picture later, and you could give me some critique on the whole assembly if you like. :3

I think you need to get pics up so we know what we are dealing with

Though from my first thoughts I think the jackhammer sounds wicked. Definatly more of a fun CCW than a spinning screwdriver head. Ive got the image of it pinning a SM to the floor and pounding in the helmet with the jackhammer end

OH and if your good with a brush you HAVE to paint "Hammer time!" around the base

I would call myself good with a brush, and i'll see if i can stick a banner on the back, i has a spot for a Bosspole, but that sounds much better!

I'll go find my camera, and also, ANY critique is welcome, no matter how harsh.

Bosspole even better, lots more room for something.
Ill stop myself with the MC Hammer stuff or we'll end up with killa kans wearing parachute pants and dancing around

Well, that's another themed ork you've forced me to create.



P.S, Picture almost here.





Soooo? The Screwdriver is currently loose, and it has a almost-finished (Table ready) Boy next to it for scale.

YES ! Thats a facepounder for sure !

Nice color scheme for your boy, same as mine

I like the jack hammer idea. I don't like the idea of a spinning screwdriver as much because you won't really get a sense of motion when modeling it. (without making it actually spin )
Plus I just used a screw to make an auger bit for my recent Kan, so I am biased. The shape of the screw really lends to the idea of twirly-spinny-death.

I think what you have is just plain awesome! IMHO, push the driver bit in more, then fashion the back end of the shaft into a piston. Smashy poundy! Smashy poundy!!!

Keep on Rokkin'!

Righto, I was planning a Big-daddy inspired one for later anyways, i'll get this arm finished up and post some more Wips.

Or, should i make a blog? I plan on a couple of things to Ask/Show people here...

Hurm... Don't know. I was wondering the same thing myself. As soon as I get my neighbor to let me borrow her camera, I am going to be going crazy on the WIP pics myself.

A big screwdriver doesn't really sounf that scary to me - more appropriate to a Big Mek (especially if you can motorise it)

Giant jackhammer of pounding death sounds good to me.
