The trukk is looking pretty sweet, but slightly long. Maybe a 3rd set of wheels?

Small update for now.

Moved wheels, your thoughts are necessary.

Looks much better IMO. PReviously, the wheels were way to close together. Also congrats on the big win man!

Thank you KingCracker.

Another little bit. Airscoop on engine.

Aww man you should put the air flappers in that! Itd be fairly simply and add tons of cool.
Something like this, though I think 2 would look just as cool. ITd be as easy as a paperclip
or so, and a couple circles glued to it. Hell, you could even just use thick paper or really
thin plasticard if you wanted.

Maybe like this.......

awesome! really like that. New wheel placement 100% better

That Helicopter is so cool!
The new wheels are much better on the current project as well.


Loving the stuff on this blog, I will keep checking it out.

Good work. Yeah, that's where the wheels need to be.

That air-scoop is awesome. Internets to KC for the suggestion.

Indeed thank you KC for the idea, hope I got it right.

Thank you guys and welcome.

Well that's me for tonight, should get some serious work in on this tomorrow. Need to know what you think, should it be rokkitz, burna, or big shoota? Kinda like the thought of skorcha, but don't have a clue on rules here.

I leave you with a size comparison shot......

Cam looks great!

I am extremely impressed on the grot-rod

I like big shoota, grot with a BFG

I'll add my to the new wheel locations - much better (though I was secretly hoping you had some other cool idea in your back pocket to deal with that issue). Could still use bigger wheels.... And congrats on the comp win - well deserved!

I toyed with a fifth wheel and a six wheel lay out, I also thought of a track on the front, but it's meant to be a monster truck-ish design! They all kinda look cool but not right. I would prefer to have larger wheels, but I don't know if GW do larger, and a non-GW wheel would probably push it for the competition rules, not sure. I think I will build another one afterwards, with out restraint, just to see how far I can go.

Still can't believe I won, the other entries where so great. I love the comps because they really have pushed me beyond what I thought I could do. And it's all your fault Arakasi, your DA orks inspired me so much, and started something. I have found with the comps though that because of time restraints, you limit the end result. I dropped several ideas on the Uwee because I did not have time.

Maybe exactly like that yes very nice work

Blooming auto-update....

Ok added gun! Your thoughts.

Thank you guys for your thoughts so far, really appreciate it.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Just know this is going to auto update.

Ok just the front end left, not sure what to do yet. Check out these pics of how it stands. I know the pics will be out of order as this has probably auto-updated.






And comparison shots...



As always your input is valuable to me...so leave any c & c.

Thank you.

Churnin' out some really sweet stuff here mate! Keep it up!

looking great. The only thing you might add would be some spikes/blades underneath so they can slice up people they drive over.

It looks great... It just needs an Ork Stig to drive it... or possibly jeremy Orkson.

I already got Jeremy Orkson for Top Geah!, my trakked buggy. Orky May on da rokkit launcha, and 'Ammond fixing a loose bolt

the moving of the front wheels was definitely the right decision!... and that flapper looks awesome... how did you do this?

and the gunner is at the right spot and looks totally cool...totally proves why you won the comp

Really cool build, im liking all of the little details like the rivits on the inside of the wheels and the hood scoop thing. very cool

Thank you for your replies....need your input.

Update, not had much time this week. But here is a trial on the front end. Built up the front wings, and thinking of adding this, but not sure, so I need your help here. It's a bit saggy because it's only blutaked on.






Thank you for looking.

As to your c& c thank you so much, I really appreciate them all. Please keep them coming.

Cheers

Hmmm a bit undecided about that claw...either too small or not enough of them.

I'm fine with the claw, but I'm not sure about the exhaust pipe thing in that position. May be better if it bent out and round the front of the truck's body?

Update: different front end.

@ Vik, Yes I am not sure either about the front claw. Something not quite right.

@ DrH. I am not sure about the claw thingy, but as per your suggestion, I did some work on the exhaust.

I may try adding something to the claw, but for now here is an alternative front end, your thoughts please.

I think the front end with the claw works better with the overall look you got with this beauty!

Really enjoying it so far, and waiting for more!

As for the front, I think I'd go with the second choice, maybe with added spikes or teeth jamming forward?

For me the fender works best... Tho I have to say, the additional gubbinz to the claw look very good. Definitely an improvement!

So added a little something to the "Mawler" front end. ( looks more like a mouth than a claw to me now.)





Your thoughts?

Hate to get run into by that, just the imagery of SPLAT! comes to mind!
