WIP tower (those rungs need flat surfaces!!!)


da jet just need to finish a little weathering

Thats a cool jet. Nice flames and colors.

Thanks I appreciate it!

Hello all I figure I would post some pics from other threads/of my growing horde for C&C. I have not rusted/weathered my meganob yet. Waiting on the rest of his squad to get a clean paint job complete so that I can do it all in one go for a little uniformity.


Without further failed brevity, my biker boss WIP: I need to sculpt him pirate hat I think. Thinking a bicorn, side to side like the maxmini/spellcrow/captain badrukk hats





WIP shot of meganob before the shark eyes got painted



Painting spellcrow heads for 3 of his buddies this weekend, will hopefully have a squad of 4 ready to be weathered next week... then just 2 more to go till my squad of 6 for 2k army is complete!

I have been using my scratchbuilt mega nob as a warboss for the moment. He's not big enough though. Going to make a real mega boss once I have time/energy to get my 2k painted before adding my deffwing...


Anywho hope everything going great for everybody and I'll get some updated WIP/finished shots up before too long. Trying to paint my army in 250-500 point blocks escalation up to my 2k list


cheers!

i absolutly love the guns you're making

thanks mate! grey knight player was complimenting my gatling-gun-toting-loota's (i'd say an assault cannon is a pretty loota-able gun right?? who's got a patent on the shape of deffgun anywayz i say???)

I'll try to get some pix posted soon if life allows it

Update, arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Working on 2 of these. going to add some siding around engine/cab and put a large wheel on there with a grot (with pirate hat) driving it... Truck is broken and don't have gunner pedestal so goin to make something there. might cover it with planks. Will add a stick out the front of the mah... as well as the stock panels on the back of the truck, might add a top there, to make it like a capitans quarters and add handrails around the top.


the sails disconnect via telescoping tube


still needs more chains/ropes etc. maybe another grot up there taking a look. Also might add a mushroom box?

the manz have spellcrow heads, still need to paint alot of cables/wash/weather everything add more details/chips etc...

Still need to build them some gobs as well


anyhow enough blabbering, heres the pix. sorry for quality.













cheers

That sail made me smile Great idea! Want to see it painted now.

Thanks mate!

Progress!




arrrr!

Thanks for the replies! Hopefully you like this...



will have a grot captaing standing on a box. Going to put gunner on other side. will have a roof over captains head so a boy can stand there as well



shapin up




.... oh no we've been boarded!








captains deck holds 4, back compartment 4, and front holds 4 driver and gunner. Can fit meganobs inside captains quarters as well! Considering cutting out the roll bar w/ chain and hook on it because could possibly carry 2 MANZ up top, 1 in front, and 1 in captains quarters currently.. could possibly get 2 there w/ that roll bar gone..


I don't know why I wan't my trukks to actually carry their payload... but I do... Ha


Still need to make a back of captains quarters so that it's not exposed.. and give some windows over that I beam framing. The door on back will be hinged to open for easy access to models





On the wood grain, I plan on scratcing parallel marks/squiggles on eaching piece, and possibly hit it all with a little sand paper before/after. (this will happen prior to rivets going on)


When I do this to trukk #2 soon... I will be sanding the plank plasticard before cutting it up and gluing it on.. haha :cheers


What else does it need lads?

That is epically genius and geniusly epic. awesome

Thank you very much!! Hopefully get it done and primed today!

Lady on way home from her folks so this may be all the major stuff I get done for a bit. Still gotta figure out the steering/captain, the big shoota.

Started putting paralely squiggles in the boards to create wood grain effects, looks alright enough

Got ladder steps put on but they didn't show up.



I need to put some stuff in captains quarters to make it more homely.. mayhbe a mushroom box, hog leg with choppa (out of way so models can be placed)


Also need a divider from the main deck and his quarters. a physical one all the way down would prevent model placement though... was thinking of like drop down cloth that is bundles up at the top/out of use so its open?


Would I just get tissue and coat with pva glue with twine wrapped around it or?



Anyhow... Figure another orky face wouldn't hurt it...




Gotta name er too.... Was thinkin da land-lubba'

How would you all divide the captains quarters? Was thinking of cloth? rolled up at top or pushed to side?


What are some ways of achieving rigidity in the cloth? coat with pva glue?


thanks!

Mate all your stuff is very good if not some of the best ive ever seen, i will deffo be copying it.

Nice stuff, the manz looks cool and landships for the win!

A good substitute for cloth is tissue doped with pva.

BWAhahahaaa! That trukk is soooo silly I love it. Keep it up ya crazy Git

That's what I was thinking as well.. Hmm... Thank you!

Thank you kc! I'll try!

updates... Think its done lads. It doesn't have a gun as you see, but I think I'm going to magnetize a boy to stand a couple of places with a big shoota for that? Not sure.


lots o rivets etc.


hopefully start painting it soon!

(Woops had wrong pic here)

steering wheel/sub deck and handrails added



loads o rivets and woodgrain-ing (REMINDER, CARVE WOODGRAIN INTO BARE SHEETS BEFORE CUTTING PLANKS....)



fits just about right. might leave the driver off of it, or magnetize a grot as a driver/in crows nest once boys disembark?



rivets and wood grain



steering wheel/inside cladding.. added check plates to interior walls



anyways cheers everyone thanks for the kind words will hopefully get this done quick!


Won't be priming it until tomorrow night or afterwards, so if you have any final C&C it would be much appreciated!!

cheers!!

Thats just fething awesome.

Good job! How about a speakin' tube for tellin' the enjinn room when ta go fasta - all da time! Or a little throttle lever instead maybe?

I like both of those ideas! Thinking about a throttle near wheel that says "FAST, FASTA, and ERE WE GO!" as the 3 speeds

Also... no one has mentioned it yet... but they need some BOOTY!

Will craft up a treasure chest full of gubbinz!



Maybe a good orky telescope on a swivel near captain too

That is FREAKIN' genius! Crazy work here! keep it up, I'll follow this thread with anticipation!

Whoa man, that ship looks fething amazing! Incredible plasticard-work you did there, I love the wheel (and all the details!)

Throttle lever is a great idea. Goes from "Full Powa!" to "More full powa!" to "WAAARGH!" lol

Thanks mates

Makin me want to get it finished more!


Wish the lass was as appreciative of me tinkering with it, bahaha.




Do you all think I will have a problem usin this in tourneys? I tried to keep it small etc so no Los advantages... I don't plan on puttin big shoota at a higher elevation than stock. Figure could sub in a stock trukk for Los if need be, might be a problem once my other trukk is pirated as well...



Also if you have any ideas on how to apply this idea to a battle wagon, I'm all ears!

Done!! (I think)

Priming it tomorrow!!! Hopefully.

Might add a treasure chest later, who knows.!!!


da gunna



magnetized his feetz



added the throttle







pirate hats! mostly shoota boys. 1 big shoota/custom loota & 1 stock loota

Orks and Pirates go together like rich folk and money. Great job so far. But Id suggest, making a couple different "hats" on all the boyz. Some would had do-rags on their heads for example, and tricorners and such, rather then them all having a similar hat. But great job so far

Also, LURVE the grot on the boat, Not gunna lie, I want to paint that fella something fierce

forgot to post this one, woops!

for other variety I am ordering some pirate heads from spellcrow/maxmini (i love the expressions on the faces of the ones with bandannas in particular)



thanks mate, i think I might give him a sling over his shoulder for that gun, looks a bit eavy eh?

That is one awesome Trukk-to-landship conversion!

Keep going! - I'd love to see what other orky vehicle conversions you'll come up with.

Thanks spiky, I'll keep it up. Glad you lads appreciate my work

these are pretty rough WIP paint shots so been gentle (stopped randomly when fixing overlap of silver/brown and applying rust to inside of bow/front of ram/face












Going to add splashes of color on the armor plating. probably a red yellow and a blue plate, who knows.

Thinking about getting those goblin pirate mini's from freebooter i think? one looks like he would make a mighty fine captain but over $5 a pop... and I really only want 2/5 or 3/5 the set


bought a trukk+boys box and have looted the wheels from my un-built 3rd battlewagon to make a buggy out of a deffkopta... Considering building tracks for front end of wagon or just not building it altogether as I don't really need it unless for APOC.... and try to build truck/buggies/grot tanks out of the parts.... Pirate ship style of course! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Anyone, i'm alive, an update has been made!

little bit of an update...

tried my hand at some OSL ... photo is terrible, looks better in person. im not a good photographer.



some rust drips


hows the weathering look?


ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Its looking great But I must admit: expected it to have a red paint job!
