@monkeytroll I'm assuming its from the drop pod but I'm really not sure, you are correct however that it is going to be a holo-display
@jamessearle0 I still have to figure out what i'm going to use for rivets, I'll probly stop over to a local craftstore next weekend and pick up some really tiny beads.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Okay I finished the firing platform on the mekboy junka.
You can't see it from the pic but I chose to keep the back open mainly so people could see the inside and what-not, But the big mek in me also says: see dem der gubbinz in the back, dat's mah kustum forze field projectah it keep dah boyz good an safe, hur hur hur.

establishing an empire outside of the range of the astonomican
So yesterday i was moving a decommissioned HO train table from storage in the garage to my basement (to be used as a gaming table) and couldnt find the bolts, nuts, and washers. For the first time in my life i was happy that my grandfather was a hoarder with an emphasis on hardware.
Now you are probably saying to yourself Primarch, how in (insert name of deity here) glorious/accursed name is this relevant?
Well felllow internet citizens I will tell you. While i was looking for some bolts, nuts and washer of the correct size (which i couldnt find by the way) I found this
Spoiler:
Yes a tool for me to make rivets.
So without further trolling I give you what you were hoping for, PROGRESS

Alright so I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the normal battlewagon (non superheavy) is nearly done (95% done being built). The bad news, My cameras SD card died so i can't take pictures hopefully some time this week i can get a new one.
I mean difficult, but not in the way that it will be hard to get certain effects and colors, more in the way that the brush just wont like getting into certain places. I'm sure it will be doable, I just am guessing some parts may get aggravating. That's the deal with Orks though, I am in the same boat.

@Nathan138, I understand now and totally agree. @Anung Un Rama, glad you like everything
Ok well I just got a new SD card from walmart so here are the pics.
The 'sponsons' are havoc launchers which will obviously be rokkit launchers. The turret is going to be a zzap gun. Yes I know the ork doesnt have a head I will get to that after doing some painting. I will also be adding a barrel to the big shoota in the hull mount.

No matter about the glue for the ladder, I say! It will help the flamey look of the zappy gubbinz. But don't forget how they come together nearer the bottom.
Cool work, by the way. I like the mods to the looted wagon.

I'm glad everyone likes it, I think someone should give me an award, becuase this is one of the first truly original ideas I have had while scratch building. Whether or not someone has done something like this is besides the point because if they have I have not seen it before.
I'm also thinking of adding those little tesla coil things from the battle of maccrage (spelling?) force field fences, along the middle of the zap gun barrel between the spaces of the ladder struts. (pics later)
