Ok, so I wanted to work on a gargant, but I wanted it to be epic...all the research that I did showed a great gargant would be about 3-4ft tall. This one when it is all done will be about 42 inches tall, 29 inch long, and 26 inch wide. That is before the arms are added.

It is hollow because I am also doing the interior of each floor. So far you will just pull each floor off to show the floor underneth, but that might change when i get to the upper levels.

So far the lower two levels are going to be the garage and the engine floor to power the axels, of which will be x5 five inch wheels, I thought about making it tracked and not just have wheels, but I don't wanna just wrap something around the wheels to make it look tracked. So far the Garage can hold 1-2 Battle wagons and 2-4 Tracks (trucks side by side, 2 long, 2 wide)

My plans are to incorperate a ledge for storm boys to launch themselves from (thinking about the right arm/shoulder) and a helipad for Deff Kopters on the left shoulder. Also thinking about placing a Imperial Bastion on one of the shoulders.

So I wanted your imput on ideas to make it better. Obviously I have a long way to go, but will always be looking for ideas.

Thank you

Dear sweet Emperor... That is going to be awesome...

Holy cow... I think the amount of paint that will take.... Oh wait..

That in the background, is that a Mr. Potato Head stompa?

jeez, that things huge!

Why, yes, yes it is a Mr. Potato Head Stompa. How observant of you. I made it last summer, but never put it up on Dakka. I have the creation pictures...but I have to find that camera...maybe I will post them sometime. I love Orks!

one question.... your play table? is it your back yard? lol

and if you are going that far with it you should just make it motorized and remote controlled

looking cool so far, i want to make a gargant at some point (have a warlord already, his head is my avatar) so i'll keep an eye on how you get on.

looking good, how tall are you going to make it?

this will be properly epic! loads of encouragement!

As ideas: I might consider making each floor modular, so you can take the entire thing apart floor by floor for transport/display purposes. At the very least, I would separate the bottom floors where vehicles are, and the top "command" floors etc.
Orks have slaves right? maybe have some slaves fueling this beast "


OMG a room like jabba the hutts palace with a pit full of squigs!!!!!

Second day of working on the frame...looking good so far

How much details are you going to do?

Pretty detailed in terms of very Orky...that is my plan at least...this is just the frame of these floors so far

You could make this thing the SCENERY in a complex squad level battle. That'd be freaking awesome!

Dude, I would love to fight inside that, Like a search and destroy for the reactor and a capture and control diff objectives!

You mind if I take the basics of the idea and try to do something like that myself some day? You know just a giant ork vehicle and come up with plans of my very own?

Nope, Have at it...I don't have a trademark on this thing (lol)...just wanted to build something cool for my orks. Thanks, imitation is the highest form of flattery.

If you could I'd try to make the floorplan engaging with multiple stairs and walkways so the gargant itself could also be used for a kill team-esque game.

Cannot wait to see the end result, good luck with project.

Are great gargents bigger than most imperial titans then?

I've not even seen an emperor titan this big!!

Good luck!

Too big, like a lot of titan construction jobs. Give it gun decks, that is a mega-gargant.

Sweet mother, that IS big.
Tell me you have a table to accomodate him on!

In response to this (not sure what to make of this statement)...too big...ha ha ha

I know most mega-Gargants are about 32 meters tall (96ft = 19-20 inch tall at 5ft per inch), but I wanted the biggest and baddest ork machine around. So at around 42 inches tall it will be equal to 210ft or 70 meters. That is on par with an Emperor Class Titan.

I took the idea from the link below...

Ok a mega-gargant is on a par with an Emperor class titan. A Great Gargant is comperable to a Warlord titan.

Next time you cut yourself badly while dabbling with the hobby, close it with some super glue! I will warn you it will burn like hell but it will close it instantly. Used this trick with a friend hemophilic friend when he sliced his arm open

Also: That thing is insanely huge. Prolly big enough to target from orbit >

Their is one thing I would like to say to you....just one thing................

WAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(That means.........)

This is going to be epic, can't wait to see more, subscribed!

Want to see MORE!

Dear god .__.
The epicness...
I can't wait to see it finished!

Really great start, can't wait to see it finished. Keep it up!

Thanks for all the great encouragement everybody.

Will work on it more tomorrow and post pictures too
