I'm having a spot of bother with one of my conversions. I am in the process of turning a war walker into a Deff Dread, and all the weaponry and the armature are all going swimmingly. However I have reached a small problem that I'd appreciate the help of the community with.

Basically, for those who know the War Walker, it's him to not exactly the widest cockpit in the world, and whilst an Ork body fits in there, the legs just simply won't.

Does anyone know of any spectacularly ingenious way to get Ork legs to be 'seated' (essentially just together and bent at the knee)? I'd really appreciate any ideas.

So he needs to be both seated and with legs fairly close together? Many of the ork leg bits have _one_ leg forward in a 'seated' position, so if you can find both a left and right leg version, saw both in half and combine the two 'seated' legs. Hiding the cut would either be a fairly easy greenstuff job, or perhaps add a strap for a safety harness, with another strap around his waist.

Although i thought either the trukk or battlewagon kit came with a seated driver, with appropriately posed legs.

Trukk kit has a seated driver, if you can find the bit. Don't recall if the driver and seat were molded as one piece, though.

Personally, since it's looted, I'd just bodge together some reasonably unreasonable mechanism or plating that covers up the fact that I got frustrated and hacked off his legs, altogether.

Trukk driver and seat are one piece - well, the body and the legs are - feet, arms, head, and seat back are separate pieces.

The legs are metal armoured and will go for orks well.

Aren't those wide set, though? The OP needs a narrow set of legs held together - boar riders are no more useful than bikers, as they're both meant to straddle a mount, not sit in a chair.
