I remembered (moments after posting on Da Konvertas) that I had not yet installed a ladder for the grot to get up there. I posted that the build was done, and it is... save for the means to get up to the platform.
Looking at the model, I'm having trouble seeing a full on ladder fit any where in there without cluttering the place up () I've got two ideas, so far. The first is a rinkydinky ladder with just one "leg" and two or three steps. The second idea is a rope, hung over the hook, that the grot can climb up AND use to hoist tools and bits up to the platform.

I think he should repel down from a deffkopta while taking fire from a HammerHead tank which in turn is being assaulted my a squad of wytches. Or just a rope.

I fully agree with either choice. Also Arakasi, should you change to a cyber grot, you could totally get your DCM renewed

So... there's the rope. I'm not entirely happy with it. It was a lot harder to spool the wire than I had thought. So it's just sloppy on there. :\ Grot like, but... you know.
I added some more wires under the control panel, with one going down to the vent/humidifier thing for the mushroom patch. Also, I gave him some nice gubbinz in a spot under the platform that was looking bare. His head is glued on now too, so after a bit of GS he's ready for paint.
There's a few other angles in the gallery. Let me know what you think about the rope. If it's not really working I'll cut it off.

I tried to convince a potential Space Shark player who was looking at using the Space Wolf dex that he needed to have his "thunder wolf cav" riding on Buelettes (Land Sharks of D&D fame). Perfect finish to the joke would have been freakin' laserbeams on their heads...

Went with a different dex in the end... BUT... if he would've gone with the SW dex... I had him convinced. Was even helping him track down some figures that might work...
Would've loved to see that... *knock* *knock* "Who is it?"... "Land shark!" *munch, munch, munch*

I think I may have to try that.
@ Da Land Shark:
*EDIT* Ok, I'm gonna try to list all the projects and units that I've got planned, building, GSing and painting. That is, to list everything as being on those respective shelves. Starting with the most finished on down the line:
Finished: -Ork Sewer Rat Markers -Bat-ork & Rah-bin
Well, the models are suppose to represent us, right? ...and they're mutton chops, to those who care.
Thanks Monkytroll and Schank23. I think they really set the grot off, much more than the ork. His character doesn't seem to be changed much by them. I think I might add a beany on the ork, but I also like the idea of them being done.

Oh that would have been an awesome sight
