Finished the first of 4 Rat Rod Ork trukks:






WIP shots over at my blog. Thx!

Nice modelling.

I like the jet engine idea, but currently it makes the vehicle's front look very spindly. The orky solution would be to instead have _two_ jet engines

If it was a traditional engine then I'd suggest giant exhaust pipes pointing out the sides, but that's maybe a bit silly even for orks for a jet engine (unless it's a hybrid engine with a jet turboboost?).

Not personally a big fan of the side-mounted big shoota - I'd instead put it in a pintle mount on top of the cab for the boyz in the back to fire.

looking forwards to seeing the next ones.

Pretty slick Trukk. Cant wait to see some paint on it

Sounds like most of Jeremy Clarkson's solutions on Top Gear(The Nissank and Toyboata especially)

Clarkson is a fething genius though

Is this before or after the homemade V8 powered blender/food processor?
The more I think about it though Clarkson would fit very well with Orks

Clarkson would most definitely be a Mek. Dunno how skilled or how long he would last, but definitely be a Mek

Definitely so I think. Fixing things by bashing it with hammers, setting things on fire(accidently or not), sabotaging his rival's efforts, I could go on. The Orks would love him though I don't see him having many repeat customers/guinea pigs.
