It can drop bombs on a stormblade! LOL!I must take pics of the present work and planned added panels Enjoy the fresh update folks.

Planned rudder sections once the panels are beefing up the main surfaces

Elevator sections

"Fairing" after the gunner

Between stations

Windshield frame

Patched sharkfin

Fairings for the wings
[/img]

I also have to add some tilted up wing sections now that the main wing is done, this will add a somewhat stuka like effect that I saw on an old Starblazer episode, Gamillons had the largets variety of carrier planes.

Target sight

Progressing very nicely!

I'm loving the use of bitz man! Great Job!

Shas, go onto ebay and search for ork glyphs, you can get a gak ton of resin plates to weld, glue, and even rivet onto that beast of a thing!!! plus they are cheap from what I remember too!!!

looks great! the tail really came out great too. it looks very nice with the wings pointing inwards! HA! not to talk about the sharkfin on the back! man that really adds to the look! xD

i also think that the stuka look will turn out just as great as everything else on this monster has

but how big is it in overall? in width and length? is it about the same size of a marauder?

Thanks DiDDe, I think it is in the same are of size as the Mareauder or maybe Thunderhawk for size

That's what you need to do, loot a thunderhawk! although if you try to steal a thunderhawk your boyz my lose all of their currency in the attempt. i hear space marines don't take kindly to looting their rides! Also i dont think i've ever had large bits such as that just layin about... are you sure they're bits and not just a kit you misplaced and somehow didn't put together? lol anyway it's lookin good, can't wait to see some flames (rust) on that ork toof' bomma!

hmm... Marines don't like their stuff looted? Makes me want to do it even more then!

I don't like those nutless freaks using my Baneblades either

Dont worry we wont hurt it, just make it better.... all those squishy guardsmen inside the tank started to rust it out, so we put some crazy hardened battle vet space marines in it and now it actually kills things! and by things i mean orks.

Well, if I were to doa looted T-hawk, I would have needed a bit more plasticard, but I used that on superheavy tanks T-400 and T-300!

Not all Chapters remove the gibblies, but some do a chem treatment that avoids such "distractions" in the head as the brain is the most powerful organ for that. Well, the Space Vikings tend to leave that alone altogether. After all, when you slay aliens and monsters all day, you have to have something besides drink and stories afterwards.

That would be one hell of a dreadnought replacement

HAHA! @ Shas! LMAO!

Hey, hand me some material to work with and I will fire it off! Speaking of material, I almost forgot to post pics! Size matters!

Both planes from the front

From the side, Big Bomma is directly over the MiG

Dakka MiG sitting on Big B

Big B maybe oughta be BIG B

Second wing segment added on,
[/img]

The angle
[/img]

far shot to show how big it is. Very shady under the wing!
[/img]

That "It's coming to eat you" pose shows it all off

Man that thing's a beast!

Gitsplitta wrote:Man that thing's a beast!

Yep, at first I thought it was the right size, then I got looking at pics online of the FW fighta bomma and well, it became apparent I had a monster on my hands back in 2011.

Man it looks so much better with the new wing segment on!

I forgot there for a sec that you were going to to them there.. they look really too small when compared to the Dakka-mig and it had the same lenght
Can you please measure the wingspan on that thing now with the fancy new wingtips are in place

Great job anyways!! what's next?

Dakka-MiG wingspan= 9.5 inches or 24cm

Big Bomma Wingspan=17.5inches or 44.5cm roughly speaking

Haha nice! that's only 0.5 cm shorter than the marauder

now that i saw the skyshark in profile i got an idea.. I love the fin it currently has and all. But what if you could squeeze in another fin? A little bigger one right ontop of the turret?
And I took the liberty of stealing your pic, get some training in paint and made a fast sketch of what I was thinking about.



And in this way it has a fin but can still rotate the turret Plus it looks really good with the smaller one at the back.
Well anyways, as I said it's only an idea but i thought it looked quite cool

LOL! I love the drawing.... you should put that in your sig!

Hey your desk looks vaguely familiar.... Oh yeah! it looks a bit like mine..... oh and i do believe i see some microsoft paint in that last pic or maybe the orks just imagined a turret gunner was there and he was, i hear if they're red they go faster? but of course that preposterous as any sane inquisitor would know!

I thought about it, but honestly the layout of the seats is not that clear cut, very assymetrical and a fin there would not truly work as well as you'd think.

Wait'll you see the power of WAAAGH!!!

Your "WAAAGH!!!" may be impressive, but can it stand up to my puny squishy guardsmen and my stoic and very tough but sometimes over the top Knights of Draigo?

looks great how the BIG B has developed shaso!

now after reading your response to didde... i am a bit sad... i like the bigger fin... i have thought it might need a bigger one too... tho the current one looks very good i think it is in need for a bigger one...

Wh40kPicasso wrote:Your "WAAAGH!!!" may be impressive, but can it stand up to my puny squishy guardsmen and my stoic and very tough but sometimes over the top Knights of Draigo?

You would face 5 mobs of various sizes of slugga/shoota/'ardboyz, trukks, battlewagons, one with a deffrolla, various buggies/skorchas/ killa kans, a deff dredd named "Huggah", burna boyz/Kommandos/ stormboyz/ several Nob skwads, the 5 bruvvas Notz, 9 deff coptas, a stompa, the dakka-MiG, da Big Bomma, and Lootas rounded out by a grot mob and a guy what might be zogworts and a couple madd docs All said about 7-8k of Orky goodness!

Even the Orks ned practical for getting into the cocpits as they do climb up and down into them. It was quite the bit to settle those stations where they were, so the only practical place for a fin was where it is.

Then again, if I ever do another Big Bomma, no two are ever the same....

argh.... he is trying to reason with me... *closes ears* "nananananana"

LOL Vik! So, more updates pics!

Closed the wing sections
[/img]

Now ain't he cute?
[/img]


It's the little details that count! panel work on the rudders
[/img]

[/img]


And this gives me a chance to rivet the heck out of this beasty!

Oh i see, so i guess rounded out we're about even in points. It would be a battle for the ages! but me thinks that my shadowsword would slay your armor!

Also i like the added few inches you got there with your wing tips, and the tail stabilizers are neat! Lookin good shas!

yes by all means... rivet that thinbg up for good^^

the turret will be quite good looking with that lil grot inside... i like how you went to cover the sides of that thing on the hull... what will it resemble once it is finished? cloth or will you add more grey stuff to make it metal looking?

and boy... you have quite the crowded workspace^^

I really like those wingtips!

My 'ardboyz are 12 in a trukk. the mobs range 20-30strong And a stompa with a mek /Kustom Forcefield is mean!so yeah it would be a rocking good fight

Thanks, it is a new design style.

Oh, I will rivet, and I will file the grey stuff or, put riveted plates over it.
