Well it's time to fire up my scratch build engine and begin with a new project. scratch building isn't some thing i done before but as with all things i just jump in head first and see where i will end up.
now i love the ford '32 and i want to make one for my ork gangsta boy's. but i don't really know which of the two versions i should pick the normal one
although i think that would be a better buggy than truck
or the pick up version
which in my eyes would work better as a truck what do you guy's think?

well there was a change of plans this morning when i came across my stack of sprues and found some 12 orks still on there sprue. so i decided i wanted to make a test piece first.
i covered the upper body with greenstuff and tomorrow i wil sand it down a bit. to give the impression of a leather jacked. the color scheme for the army will be black leather jacket, jeans and for flesh either human skin or ork i haven't decided on that one.
this afternoon i could have completed some more mini's but i spend the time relaxing in the grass with my girl.
if by some chance i don't post for a couple of weeks i might have died during the rugby game tomorrow as we (the new senior players) have challenged and later moked teased and pick on the old senior team. so it's rams vs rams, new stars vs old stars.
and boy those guys are good all of them played professionally in Holland (some even abroad) and nearly half of them played for the Dutch team or coached the Dutch team.

It's coming along nicely although i haven't had a lot of time to work on it. your everyday house hold choirs. and me being the men in the house i had to do everything alone. so new floors into all the rooms (still have one left), painting (not models unfortunately) and putting up wallpaper, school, work and entertaining my GF. and a bbq last night with a little to much alcohol

this tread is back. after some work with school, girl friend, rugby and work i had no time to work on anything model related. until yesterday when i made this
pretty neat eh? the gun is pinned in the cork so it's easy to paint and transport

Welcome back mate sounds like life has been busy Like the idea and the pose but one thing, why did you not use the hand as the supporting structure
The only reason I ask this is because I cant imagine anybody ( especially Tau as they are crap at close combat ) using the reactive end of their weapon as a vaulting mechanism.
However the look does look cool but maybe reverse the arms

and so he is rather flying than jumping? the latter was my first idea tho... hmmm... maby e make some jeteffect too there?
and when doing service back in the day one of our chaps there during a night "stroll" in full equipment fell with his gun landing barrel first in the dirt... the whole muzzle full of dust, sand and gods kno what more... i bet if he then would have to fire that gun it would have gotten really interesting for him... tho not for very long...
in short... i think getting the muzzle into the dirt is a not really healthy move for a fighter that has at least a five year plan already...
