The wall is looking great , reminds me of one of my desk drawers were I toss the left over plastic card scraps .

Looking good. Will be very "pretty" with paint on.

@ Theo, yeah I have an ice cream tub full of of plastic scrap, no ice cream though...

@ Spruemeister, Pretty? Pretty? Your infatuation with plastic is affecting your brain... I do though still need to roughen the panels up. Maybe also add some murder holes for the horde of grots that the Big Mek has working for him

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I behold much promise for a nice paint-job with all those plates and beams and eventual rivets...

Or maybe it is the paint and glue fumes... *sniff* No, it's definitely pretty.

Awesome work mate, seriously nice progress.

Yes definitely pretty.


Love it, looking really great.

More work of beauty - look at those curves

Stunning in it's simplicity, it looks flawless.

So I'm pretty pleased with tonight's progress...

WIP on the firing platform and mini turret for the one side that I have armoured so far. Still need to put a walkway on the firing platform, going to use some wire mesh for this







Oh and here's the gun turret for the other side, still a lot of work to do though...

Very nice. Liking that a lot.

Those are some pretty great I-beams.

Now that looks just about perfect, Brilliant.

Thanks Cam

So no updates as busy re-covering wardrobe doors since the weekend. Hoping to get back to modelling duties tomorrow morning though. Bit concerned that we are fast approaching the deadline on the contest - I may need to lobby for an extension to the date :(

Bloody hell... And no mistake... That riveting sure marksyou yet again as a true riveteer! I like the additional fortifications! Makes the whole so much more convincing!

Cheers Vik

And so, side two is plated...





Rivets next, thousands of 'em

Da un o Da nuva-Ork. One shot from that hold do it of course after each shot a team of grots will be needed to go tighten all the rivets loosened by he overpressure.

Ha ha right, I think they'd be lucky if the whole thing doesn't explode on the first shot, with the shell still in the breach and the Mekboy standing there, scratching his head in puzzlement and not noticing that his clothes are on fire...

Actually, that would make for a cool diorama

Fires one strength D shot unlimited range, also every model on the table takes a strength 4 hit ap - as shrapnel from the gun hits everywhere.

while the second side looks awesome already...
i see light seeping through the thin walls...... somehow that looks funny...of course nothing will be seen later on...once paint hits this hughe ...something

Ok Ruglud, when I was trying to come up with an idea for the comp, I thought about a huge gun, but the firing pin had to be hammered home. Sooooo I thought of a queue of Grots carrying big hammers. And a greasy red stain where the last grot hit it and the recoil squished him. Thought I ought to share as your model is rapidly becoming the most epic build I have seen in a while. It will look truly awesome, and Not sure if this idea would fit, but I really loved it.

what a bloody imagination you have cam....

Thanks mate, that's a cool idea - sad part is the only greenskins I own at present are those from the AoBR set - and all unpainted

Viktor von Domm wrote:what a bloody imagination you have cam....

Indeed he does

Obviously the tiny gaps are for he orks to look out of and aim big Bertha.

Rivets are pending...

For now I got the second side battlements sorted and glued in place, then created some more I beams and used them as a barrel stop / rest. Also added some armour plate Teef at the front to keep the enemy out...

Lastly, I've started to make a prototype for the shell...

Nice work. Getting better all the time.

Heckuva good Kannon emplacement there Rug!

More and more awesome by the day.

THats one epic piece of scenery Ruglud! Its going to look suitably orked in the butt!! Cant wait to see it finished

Quoting a master builder: "That is looking "

It just keeps getting better and better

Thanks all, your comments mean a lot to me

So, I'm on a roll tonight.

Rivets have happened, but I'm now out of them so need to punch a load more out...

Also the prototype shell got some more attention.

Finally, took some more pics as the last batch were pretty poor really
