Someone call an ambulance, I think im having a Heart attack!!!

Just fricking WOW wazzoo.... Its just awesome.

Yeah, I'd say those prices are resonalble.... Did you consider putting it up on ebay?

I'm close to doing it, but people who go on eBay including myself use it for the cheap ness of it, so even tho I feel I'm quite cheap, I don't think eBay buyer will pay what I want, plus eBay take 10%.

So I'm not sure about eBay yet, I get asked to do commissions about 2 times a month, funny thing is tho, 50% of the people asking are 10 to 16 years old and have no idea what cost and time goes in to these models, then when you say "£100 for that mate" not knowing there age, they never reply back lol

E-bay might work if you did a load of those buggies, that way yo could produce say 6 at a time and see how well they sell

I have bought a few conversions of ebay through my years, these days I would rather do it my self plus now a days I have the wallet contents of a 10 to 16 year old …… or as I said before a cheap bastard LOL

I think your best bet would be make a few models that you like to build, then show and tell them here with the interest to sell, that way it could be like market research.

I would like some of those buggies you did, but I think the price might be a bit high for me


Glad the little man is doing well and glad to here he is being railroaded into this craft, pushy parents you have to love them LOL

Put em up on Ebay but factor the 10% into the cost... it still may reach more customers. Obviously not the ones interested in cheapness, but who knows, somebody with a boatload of cash might want to build a huge cool-looking ork army

Here you go guys, a commission I'm doing for a friend i know here in the UK, this is my trukk mark II, i will have 3 basic shapes of trukks by the time i finish, trailer will be made soon, hope you all like.









and before you all ask, im not giving him mates rates, like i said, if i do it any cheaper, then i would almost be free hahahaha

Oh my god, that thing is going to e epic! My plasticard attempts are lousy in comparison, I guess I'll have to print out some pics of your work and spread them on my desk for inspiration....

I think you inspired me to build a scratch-trukk army!

found this at the car boot sale, 50p, ill convert it later and post a pic

Beautiful work on the semi... going to be spectacular!

Awesome work as always. Tempting, soooooo tempting....

WIP

Clean work mate nice , have to ask what do use for cutting circles in PC if you don't mind sharing

Oh wow!! All of this is awesome, great work on the conversions and the painting, I'm digging all of it!

And.. I want to see more!

Not sure on the look of this trailer yet or what guns to put on it.

Do I go weapon platform ??

Big guns ??

Lots of small ones again ?? (bair in mind I've done that already)

Oooo what do I do ??

I would go transportation for most of the trailer, then add some small side railings with panels ( your specialty ) then a gun section at the front of the trailer with two machine gun sponsons either side and a massive gun in the middle

This way you can transport that tank once converted Now how do you cut your circles and what tool do you use please

Just too damn awesome. I'll be checking this thread a lot now

looks like a good starting point for a big gun platform if you ask me and I really love your work very cool.

Plus I love the ideas you are giving me for my orks very good mainly I know what to do with all these freaking deff koptas

i draw around some thing or use my compass, i then trim and file.

Fantastic work all the way through this thread. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness

Regarding Da Artik, can you fit your buggies on the back of it? You could do a Knight Rider style mobile Mek Workshop. Alternatively you could probably fit a battery of Orky Artillery on the back of the thing like a land-bound Spectre. It might even be usable in-game if you did that

Cheers for the feedback on that , well I have to say you do a dam good job using that system.

When I try that way it no longer looks like a circle anymore LOL

You can use a compass with a pin on both ends, then you just score it and then snap it and file, most plastic card is easy to score and snap.

Sounds like a plan, cheers Will give this a go and let you know how it turns out

I maybe slow but no need to repeat LOL

Cheers again

are you by any chance the guy who made a squigoth using only the stegodon set and plasti-card?


not your coulor sheme though, so It might not be yours.

^^I doubt its his, the rivets on that thing are bigger than wazzoos.... and dont have a screw in the middle....

Ok guys, WIP.

Doing a back ram plate thingy, so what ever it is, it looks kool and like its going to kick ass


The bits i've ringed, are just supports, the way i've made these one just make it stronger when i stick it to the back of the trailer, the bars move freely too, so it can move up and down, makes it easy for painting and looks good, like i new what i was doing with it. (i don't think it serves a purpose)



when i drilled the Deffkopta rotor blades i started in the number order, i drilled number 1's, all 5 at once, so the line was straight. i held them all together then drilled number 3, then last of all i drilled number 2, i always drill with my smallest drill and the build up to the drill bit the same size as the bars i'm using. Then one by one, starting in the middile, i glue them in place with a very small amount of glue. (dont forget to put a bracket in there if you want it to move up and down, DONT glue this.



then i stuck it on, making sure it moved right, nice movement up and down.





This pic is showing the bracket that i made to look like a piston that would push it up and down if it was real, i think it looks ok, but i would re-do it if i was to start again, but hell its ok for this one

I know its pricey, but I would use the trailer to transport some Kanz to the front. Have some grotz strapping and chaining some Kanz down for transport would look great. Besides, when it comes time to unload, all the driver has to do is slam on the breaks and cut the wheel hard! No fuss.

Love your work! I have seen your tutorials before, I plan to make some weapons using your technique. Also, My WIP Battlewagon is going to get a Deffkopta Pilot for a driver!

your skills are very very good too m8, i will copy this at some point, i love it

Sorry for the little threadjack, but I gotta share this here so the master of converting can have a look at it..... You work inspired me to get plasticard and start working with it. The rear part of this is my first plasticard attempt!

Also, remember when you commented on the unpainted version of this in the gallery a few months ago? That comment made me look at the models of its creator, and I loved them! I think I even told him to start a P&M blog LOL

hahahaha seen this a while ago, thought i said i liked the new paint job, makes the model look so much better, i am copying that next, but adding another trailer with it hehe

Ok more WIP, hope you like

on this pic, you can see the guard rails on the side, it also show's the nice low profile i'm trying to keep, as i think it looks good, feel free to take this pick and photoshop what you think i should do and repost it, i still cant make my mind up. i am thinking tho of a tank turret at the front with a 360 turning circle, then 2 sets of dakkadakka's on the back, what do you guys think ???


this is the side rails again, i really do like these, im not going to put any more armour on them, like the last trukk n trailer.


the under belly, thought i would do some detail here, so put in some brake cables and on the other one, more armour plates, did this quick so its not great.



this one is just showing the air brake cable, one more to bang on yet.
