HAZZER loving the effort and commitment here. I think it's high time those of us who contribute alot to Dakka and put up for some kind of awards.....

"Da Buzy Grots" Award or something. For all of us who put our hearts and souls into our Projects and then bear it up on to Dakka for praise, scrutiny and criticism.

Looks like you're making a table-top version of the old computer game "Oregon Trail"!

World war 1 eh.... If you wanted to make a WW1 diorama for school I have some tips 'n' tricks I can pass along...

1 Birch coffee stirrers are 28mm scale for either 2x4 or 1x4 nominal lumber.
2 Spackle makes for a decent "mud", texture when it's about 1/2 dry and it will hold its shape in a similar way to wet clay rich muck.
3 Spackle is stupid tough when sealed with PVA glue mix (50/50 glue to water)
4 Paint the earthen walls of your trench-works BEFORE you add your wooden, or metal cladding.
5 2" thick foam is almost 1/8th of an inch taller than a Terminator or most standard GW infantry.
6 Sculpey makes for easy sandbags.

Thanks man! really helps!

Edit: Btw if you mix paint with filler, it won't show up if it chips. (EG- for mud you would mix brown paint).

Hahahahaha
Its because I feel that unless the surface is SEVERELY bare, then it doesn't really need rivets. I sorta prefer welding

welding, pfffh! welding is for nerds.....

Hi guys,
heres an conversion Idea which I thought of last night whilst getting to sleep! (The coulored pannels are to help seprate out the massd amount of pannels. The big ornage gun thing in the second picture is menat to be a HB and the stick man on the otherside is the noramal gunner. The turrent on the front would class as a mortor and the turrent on the top will be from the pred box).Enjoy;

BTW there will be rivets!

EDIT: forgot to add pics!

HAZZER

Looks like you have some serious work ahead of you. I think that orks can be the hardest to convert: making something look ramshackle, but still look realistic!
