This is going to be AWESOME !!!!

Love it! Ill be watching this! That is top notch plasticard work right there!

Thanks, sum1!

It's just ork though, so mistakes tend not to be mistakes, but, rather, "character." By no means am I on par with something like Dave Taylor's Blood Pact plasticard work. But it is definitely good to be appreciated.

On a side note, that was the one and only post in "Orkish." The retards in my gaming group get a headache trying to translate it. Love you guys!

Working on the Iron Gob now, pics in a day or two.

That, is awesome! keep up the great work.

cools, will be keeping track of this

Thanks guys! It occurs to me that I didn't put a link to the blog... http://dawerkshop.blogspot.com/

Looking good any chance of a scale shot? At the moment I can't tell whether it's a Dreadnaught, Stompa or Gargant.....

that is epic. liking what you have done.

Oh that looks very nice. Mega-dread? Certainly be watching this one

I'll make sure to include one in the next batch. For scale though, in top of the head are an old HK missile from the IG tank sprue, a new HK from an IG sprue, and a hellfire or whatever from the valkyrie, and the hatch is from the baneblade kit. It's definitely a megadread, though I have a gargant head sitting right here in my desk...

On another note, I have finished the iron gob, adding the teef tonight, tomorrow morning, hopefully pics after work tomorrow night.

Ooh I Would love to see the finish of this model!

4 iron teef finished and a bunch of riveting. Camera battery i perished, so photos after work.

OK, the Gob is about half done, and I've rivetted some of the head, the stuff I couldn't reach once the gob is finished. So here ya go, front, left side, and right side:

Well, spent half the morning watching Iron Man and rivetting. Whoopee...

Then my brain tried to start a coup d'etat, so I had to feed it with some creativity. What to do, knowing I only had an hour left before work?

Voila, foamcore shells of some grot tanks. Think fourth-dimensionally and you'll know how awesome they will become...





Sorry there isn't more of an update... good news is I have knee surgery on Wednesday next so will have plenty of time then to do all sorts of work...

That iron gob is lookin pretty sweet! As for the grot tanks I can wait to see those as well. I have some and they are fantastic models

Subbed looks good. Keep up the good work.

Hope the surgery goes well, look forward to the progress you make in the down time

Ded killy. I can't wait for the finished result. I pee myself in anticipation.

Work continues apace. For now, I sate your murderous appetite for my blood and talent with this, my first model in my redone Ork army. Behold, the DeffNight!











Now, back to rivetting...

what does it count as? And that is a very creative use of the rokit and the kustom mega blasta

That is orktastic!!!!

Wow! This is some really good work. I do think that the back of the Dreadknight conversion looks a little to clean and symmetrical for an Ork vehicle. Maybe add some plastic card patches, plates, or other bits to the back to break up the symmetry. I love the front though.

Cheers!

I hear ya, Sersi. I have some final what-nots to add... I also want to plate out the legs and knees, just haven't ben happy with what I put together for it. Like four times not happy, lol. I just konvert by the seat of my pants, wherever the wind blows me, like a true Mek should.

But sometimes the results look like something scooped out of the toilet after someone left me an upper-decker at a party... Enjoy that image!

More to come!

So, is tihs the start of a dread-mob we see forming before us then?

Looking fine whatever

Just my rambling I'm-not-inspired-to-finish-(insert project here)-today-so-I'll-start-this.

And occassionally an I-never-should-have-bought-this-I-don't-even-like-(insert faction here) error correction.

Fair enough, I can relate to that

Does anyone have basic hull and trak unit measurements on a Forgeowrld kill-tank, by chance?

Obsavashun Towa completed. Pics incoming...

And. Here. We. Go!

Up front and center the beautiful (if I don't say so myself) Goff glyph prominantly displaying my Waaagh's allegiance.



And a couple of side views of the arma platin' the grots have installed for themselves for extra protectshun from da dakka.





Getting back to the iron gob after work tonight. Peace out!

On a related topic, I would gladly pay anyone for any spare Ork vehicle bits, some select IG vehicle bits, and other interesting components I might be able to use in Da Werkshop. PM me if interested.

Surgery went well and I'm back home. Time to get started on the waist and legs. Progress updates as I have them.

Good to hear everything went well. Cant wait to see more progress on the dread!
