Fantastic conversion! Yeah Vik sent it to me. Although it was driven by a very small Ork, rather than a grot

funny that you say this... the bikers of the trikes and halftracks are more like even uglier catachans where scale is concerned... ever noticed? you could swap arms and legs and no one really could tell...

I've actually used some of those old plastic GorkaMorka era arms (as well as Plastic Munda arms) on my Catachans! The fists are too big, but the arms work well

Indeed, this is a Gorka morka body, got a bunch used, badly put together. I cut the head off, and stick on a Grot head and it does ok for a driver. Usually a bit lanky for a standard grot, but as these are sat for driving, it works out ok. Why the heck they did Gorkamorka as a different scale I have no idea.

@ Vik Other vehicle? Do you mean this one, this is the half track. I am going to have to back over my own blog now to look and see.

Thank you guys, does me wonders to get any comments at all.

Ok some close ups of the driver.




Still a little wip on the actual driver, as always you see things in pictures you don't notice otherwise.

Comments and critic please.

I have to see if Jez at Old Crow is willing to whip some up, he is sort of busy these days and may have to be checked with for placing orders

I meant the Supa cat coyote...but after taking a closer look to the halftrack I now realize how much converted you have the original coyot...

Offering the bomber and a helicopter was earnestly by me...both 1:48 scale...

Thank you Vik, all donations are gratefully recieved, though surely your own efforts for a Grot army could use these spectacular kits.

And Yup only used a bit of this kit so far got about 60% left ripe for the next silly object, feeling in a groove right now, so look out folks.

For me, converting the Supacats would be up armoring them for my Khadrovians

Well, upon proper thought the supacat coyote in 1:48 scale might be a little small if made up as full transport model for IG, that grot driver is probably close to the same size as a standard IG, as Dave and Vik where saying earlier. So it would be pretty cramped in there. Having said that If you could cover it somehow, and taking in to account 10 SM in a rhino!!!! It's probably a pretty good transport for a platoon. And it's cheap compared to GW transport, and would look more like urban transport.

Well guess I will give you some updated pics of my scorcher conversion on this chassis.







Well thanks, and please continue to leave your comments.

Likely a tad snug for a rifle team of IG soldiers, but hey, men can squeeze in where powered armor can't.

Thank you guys,

@ DrH I try and be unique, but I doubt I am very much. I always seem to find someone else has been there before me, but I do try.

@ Shas Indeed.

@mxwllmdr Thank you.

@ Gits Thanks means a lot coming from you.

@Theo My thinking exactly, have to have special rules for massive burn explosion radius thingy.

@ Vik On it boss.

Just a little update to show I am actually doing something.

Crew.



Thanks for popping by.
