So, my speed freeks are progressing slowly and since I have some decent pics of my trukk now I thought I'd share them.

Looks great. Nice weathering and glyphs.

very nice indeed

Very nice looking trukk that, well done

Nice and simple, looks good.

red wuns go fasta!
Very nice

There is something that has always bothered me about ork trux and vehicles, and today I finally realized it...with as poor a condition as orks keep their vehicles in, why would they bother to maintain the proper psi in the tires....it does not look right to have the "med max" themed vehicles with nice round properly inflated tires....GW fell short on that modeling point.

Not your fault, the paint looks nice.

Who says they have inflatable tyres? they could be solid rubber since they have big metal plates bolted to them.

and besides, orks do anything to be able to go fater and faster. sure, the 'ol armor plates are not important if you just want to race around, but the engines are usually in a good condition.

even a solid rubber tire would bulge under the weight.

I beg to differ, I have seen huge steam powered trucks with solid rubber tyres ans they didn't bulge at all.

I thought your custom rear wheels were a good touch!

Thanks haha I'm glad someone noticed them!

Why even stop at solid rubber? If it rolls, it's good, and it's not like you have suspension anyway, so who's gunna notice those extra bumps you get from solid scrap metal tires?

Nice and simple weathering, very GWesque. Clean and rather crisp, nice brushmanship on the freehand =)

That's a pretty slick truck you have there. I like the weathering on it and the freehand is pretty awesome, and the paint job is very clean all around. Fantastic!

Nicely done sir. A worthy entry to any Ork army!

Always good to see some speedfreaks the red came out very krisp but still orky

I like it so much! WAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!

awsome wheels,why are we worried about realisim,when last i checked orks arent real.

orks dont care if there rubber,plastic steel,paper,made of grass,or broken Sm helments,if it rolls it will go!

wheel done on your truck!

You are using a very a very similar colour scheme to my own orks, which is always good to see although you are doing flames, which look excellent. Something I would like to do a little more often.
