Dude, you are crazy !
I'm really impressed by your converting skills. This would make a perfect buggy, I'd definitely buy 3 of them for my speed fraks.
I especially love da gunz. Dat must shoot loads of dakkas.

Hope we'll see more buggies/trikes/whatever has a uge engine in the future.

Lol is it a trike? is it a buggy? is it a bike?! every time I check in here It's changed! I love all of them but I think the latest incarnation is my favourite!

Good gravy those gatling guns are ace! As much as Id like to see a buggy someday, this trike is really turning out

Until it turns into a buggy again...

Looking good MrMerlin. Did you make those forks from scratch? Good job.

And knowing the ways of Ork, it will

Noowwwww THAT looks good!
That has a lot of balance, and looks very believable, but still completely Orky and OTT!

Loving it!

Another small update!

I attached the wheel and added some rivets, now it looks much more complete.
....I think the trike actually is completed! (apart from a few holes and details and stuff I still have to fix)

Now I have to turn my attention to the driver.... and his seat.... but have some pics of a trike first:





@skyfi: Cheers. The front wheel is from a toy truck, the rear wheels are LEGO stuff. I'll see if I can find out where exactly they ome from...
@evil cheese: Thanks a lot cheese!
@KC: Thank you too! Yeah I'll build a ratrod buggy, don't worry.... have a surprise in store for you guys btw.... (but the trike stays trike, no fiddling with that anymore, lol!)
@Dr H: Yup all scratchbuilt
@Awesomesauce: Thanks... Batmobile is on the drawing board... maybe in a few months... or years...
@panda: cheers.... but it'd be impossible to go back to bike now anyway.... lol
@Minus: Cheers Minus! Oh I'll be building more of these huge engines, many more!
@J-paint: Thanks... why does everyone suspect me to change my plans again btw.... as If I had ever done that!
@mat: As always, thank you very much, mat. btw I kinda followed the "plain and simple with no useless gubbinz" approach you used on your bike....

Sometimes less is more. Even with Orks.
I think with these massive bikes/trikes it really works better as you can see the actual bike as opposed to a huge junk pile on two/three wheels.

it looks good keep going.

me like a lot

As this nears completion It just keeps getting more and more awesome. I agree with the whole less is more sentiment though, doesn't need millions of random plates stuck everywhere to remain Orky.

I'm back!

And, (could it be otherwise?) I paused working on the trike AGAIN... but only because I have kind of a deadline for this.... it's the prize I promised to the winner of the fourth -=]_,=- sponsored competition, held by me....
he wanted a kommando on a big, swampy base. So I got some nobs, and some bitz, and built this:

Excellent!

I like to convert stuff, but when it comes to small and fidly bits like this I tend to mess it up. This is well done.

He's looking awesome (might as well comment here too) can't wait to see the swampy base...

Love the beret on the Kommando.

D

That Kommando is great.
I can imagine him crawling in the jungle to infiltrate an enemy position and stab the sentinel/the commander/the artillery gunner.

He's pretty well equipped btw. ^^

Awesome merlin, as per always but it is preventing the completion of the trike and this just wont do!!!

(i like the pose on him too, very agressive.)

Very nice w3ork on the kommando, a good reminder that it doesn't take much, just a few details here and there, to elevate a fairly ho hum run of the mill model into a pretty cool, look-at-that eyecatcher.

i cant see the kommando mr merlin.... something is wrong.

Is that a speedloader for a revolver on his belt?

Hot damn Mr.Merlin, the work you've done is awesome!

@TaWaaagh: Thanks! Yeah, I've also had my problems with that in the past...
@Meade: Cheers! Swampy base in progress.... You're in for a treat there!
@evildrcheese: Cheers cheese!
@Minus: Haha yes, and thanks a lot. I was pretty pleased with his equipment too until I noticed I'd forgotten to add ammo. Rats!
@J-paint: I'l get back to the trike asap when this is done lol
@Meph: Thanks and welcome to the blog!
@Panda: what kommando??
@Fox: Neither.... its dynamite But revolver is a great idea, I'll be equipping a few orks with one in the future!
@Elnibbus: Thanks a lot dude!
@Fish: Well, its gonna be painted red and I'll add a fuse... nope, it isn't a revolver

Dude, your damn modeling A.D.D. makes me crazy.
It's like one of those T.V. shows that does a damn cliff hanger every week.
I just want to see how it ENDS!
Finish that Biker Triker already!
=D
In all seriousness though, your Kommando is as awesome as everything else you have done.
Great work!

I would love to finish building the trike myself, but I have to do this kommando because someone is expecting it soon....
and guess who's gonna celebrate his 18th birthday this friday, followed by a girl visiting....

I promise, I'll finish this as soon as I can!

You know, really, girl visiting trumps all.
So, take your time. Get some action.
Come back let us know how it's going!

make love mrmerlin!

So I've had my 18th now.... and it was nice enough.... BUT she couldn't make it Her presence was urgently required at home, which is sadly in Berlin (5h train trip from here)... and her family is leaving for Finnland for three weeks.....

sad Merlin.... :(

But at least it's not a complete catastrophe.... she's coming in January instead, and plans to stay longer

And, bad as the news may be... looking at the bright side, I can continue working on my modelz.... yeah...

@sparky: Thanks and yep, I'll get back to the trike.... when I'm done with Meade's price
@Skyfi: Harr Harr Harr, 'Fanks much, ye old git!
@Vik: a certain package has arrived... and pics of it will soon be posted!
@Mat: True, true.... if only.... ah well. In January (that's what I'll be saying to myself alot these days....)
@Panda: Erm.... okay... someone had to say that, eh?
