Hi all!

This is my first try at building models from scrap. Even tho i would like to point out that im a begginer at modeling, painting and playing (i dont even have an army yet ), i ask for any tips on what i should have dont better or in another way, whats good and whats bad. Dont spare me harsh words if i deserve them!

BTW, would such a model be eligable to play in a tournamet, or should i just buy a GW wagon?Scrapbuilding is more fun and cheaper than buying a model... And this is the first model in my Ork army whatsoever, so it would be a shame if i couldnt play it Its size are: 17cm length, 8cm width and 8-10cm height depending on equippment (i mount a rokkit launcha on top of the pole and a zzap gun on top of the entrance hatch, but i havent painted them yet, so theyre not on the pictures )

It looks good, but where are the rear wheels???

I think even Orks know to have 4 wheels

Less wheels, less weight, more speed.

Makes perfect sense to an Ork.

why have wheelz up front for enemy shootas to shooote em off? Betta put them under 'eavy armor!

Honestly tho, i really thought it'd make sense for the wheels to be behind armor, but the looks once assembled caused the exact same reaction as yours (a lot): "where be thy wheels"

:( Im probably gonna cut into the core of the model, make room for some wheels, so theyll stick out around 0,25 or 0,5 cm from under the armor Maybe this will help

I love it. Truly feels like classic orkdom. Im not sure why but it really really works for orks. also Orkz are an army of great fun.

Really nice. So orky. Love the decorative head. He's got this worried look, and he's got so much to be worried about. "Where the wheels? WHERE MY BODY."
