I really like the creative use of materials you have going on. When I see talent alone making results like this I really look forward to what you'll be able to do in a year or two once you have skills/experience to go along with the talent.

And on the paint, the only tip I can make from the pics, is to do a bit of edge wear on the red plates. They look too new

Some boltgun or mith silver with a wash and light dose of the rust coloirng you did on the other metal might add that lil extra bit of depth to them.

Full of W1N. I was just admiring your Corrosive Pipe. You have mad skills, my friend. Thanks for sharing your pics.

**tallmantim**

Hey - that's a great idea for a big Mek and force field generator!

I love the idea...

**KingCracker**

Shoot everything is looking great man. You are going to have one bad ass Ork clan when your finished. Also Im thinking about taking some of your ideas on that KFF for a generator for my thraka counts as. Nice work

**ShotgunFacelift**

Holy hell!

your build-fu is strong!

**Nailz94**

for a first timer you're actually quite talented

good work buddy

(thumbsup)

**AAA**

Thanks for all your kind words!! anyway I managed to make his arm. I've already done the right arm but I left it at the shop, will get it tomorrow.

Anyway here's the link of the guy I stole the idea for the big mek from: http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=40119#entry545525

Since I don't have access to Pcard or Prod I just used a cotton swab and toothpicks, and they ended up so big. It now has robo gorilla arms!!

**Wrexasaur**

Awesome-sauce man. That is impressive.

**AAA**

I have finally started painting the Big Mek. It still needs the rust, and does anyone know how to paint the glass effect for the goggles?

C&C are welcome!

**KingCracker**

It actually looks pretty good. Can you take a picture of the side of the arms? You might want to dry brush some rust or do a wash on it tho, the metal is a bit bright

**Green_Ocean**

OMG you are amazing you couldn't of just started orks!!!

**AAA**

Here's the pic KingCracker!!

It's all done. Just the coat of lacquer.

**Wrexasaur**

This deserves 10 thumbs and a hand grenade (my highest award

)

Nice work, HE CAN SEEEEEE YOU!!!

**Hans_posthumus**

Yeah your ork-work is really amazing. I'm playing tau, but perhaps I'll start a second ork army. You've inspired me a lot thanks!

(Y)

**jackvolerich**

WoW that stuf is good love the refinery thing and the Mek is really good and the Battle For Macrage force field put on the Worboss for the teleporter that's a very good Idea keep it up I really want to see the final product for the refinery thing when it's painted and all.

**Stump**

I just looked through this whole thread and I must say you are doing some pretty amazing stuff. Keep up the good work.

**AAA**

Hey everyone, thanks for all the kind words!!

Sorry for the long delay, the 1st trukk and the deff dread are in the shop so there are no pics.

Any way, I'm almost through with this one. All it needs are a few details in the front, the wiring on the engine and the big shoota.

Any suggestions before I get tired of making this and just call it done?

**KingCracker**

WOW. Your Orky ness is very cool man. Very cool indeed.

**iamthecougar**

I like the use of sprue in the engine, have you thought about putting a big shoota on the roof of the cab, then cutting a hole in the roof and having a boy sticking out.

**AAA**

Thanks KingCracker!!

@cougar: here's the gun, but I don't intend to put any ork up there. I like the look of a big shoota just hanging there.

This trukk is almost done, I just need to add rivets and make the Ram thingy.

Here's the first trukk that I ever finished.

And the Deff Dread, I still need to buy the paint for the base but yeah this one is done.

Well, that's it for now. As always your comments are much appreciated!!

Cheers!

**KingCracker**

Your Orks are the gak.

Im still blown away at your improvement of skills from the beginning of this thread to now.

**tblock1984**

Nice! One question:
Why is the dread so far back on the base? Balance?

Keep it up

**The Fallen Angel**

very impressive!
Amazing talent

**Captain Shrike**

Deff Dread for the WIIIIIIIINNNNNN!!!!

**KingCracker**

Keep it up

I doubt its a balance problem. Thats a plastic dred, and those weigh nothing lol. He prolly just wanted it back there

**AAA**

Thanks for looking everyone.

Yup King is right I just wanted him to look like he's really pulling back before smashing his enemies with the wrecking ball.

Anyway I finished the 2nd trukk but I didn't have the camera at the moment. And I left the Dredd at the shop, maybe tomorrow I can get a pic. I also have a 3rd trukk coming along, but I have been busy with making terrain coz there are now a lot of players in our group (YAY!!!).

And as the unofficial terrain maker I had to come up with some; and here they are:

Tank Repair Depot

the tanks being repaired at the depot (BTW they are all made of paper)

the ruined robot arm at the depot.

Thanks for looking!! And as usual C&C please!!

TY!!

**KingCracker**

I also usually look at packaging material for quick bunkers and the like. Usually works rather well. I didnt however, think of an empty aerosol can like that. Totally stealing this idea. Normally I use empty sample shampoo bottles and the like. That way they arnt humongous.
And congrats on your group getting bigger. Thats always a plus

**ChaosismyAntidrug**

Heres a quick question, if the big mek lost both of his arms how did he construct new ones for himself?

great job though

Thats easy man, his grots. Its a little known fact that docs and meks, actually "teach" some of their skill to their grots. Infact, the infamous Mad Doc Grotsnik, was completely put back together by his grots after a bunch of nobz ripped him to pieces.
That and Im sure one of the normal meks helped at least.

**AAA**

After a putting this project of coz I hit a mental block, I finally managed to put it together to show it to you guys.

A lot of Humvee trukks have been made thanks to SWAMPY at the-waaagh forums, and here's my take on it.

Sorry for the fuzzy pics, I managed to forget how to operate my camera and the lamp was too near the model.

Anyway your C&C are welcome as usual!!

Cheers
