Hello Dakka. today i have started building my first ever totally scratchbuilt model, An ork Stompa. The first WIP pictures will be posted later today. I hope to play at least one game with the finished model before Dec 21, just in case...

This is the starting frame work, from which every thing else will be built. Leave it to an ork to start at the top. Below is the frame with a killa kan for size referance. The final model will be two inches taller after I attach the legs.

So, more work on the support structure was done, and it has passed a weight test consisting of a 1 by 6, and several empty shell casings. Coincedentally, some of these casings will be used for the stompa's guns. I intentionally exceeded the weight I expected to have this structure support.

What are those huge casings? 20mm? Never thought to use actual munitions.

Alright, "real" work has gotten out of my way, and further progress (and some regression) has occured! the original Jaw placed on the Stompa failed to remain attached but now I have attached the Belly Doors!!



Oh by the way...

They OPEN!!!
