the addition of some pointy rammy things.

lmao my god you really ARE a Big Mek in human form. Your first BW ended superbly. And so far your second is looking just as good. Ill watch this one closely

Got some more upgrades.

Got some chains for my plank.



And I am workin on the turret now.

Simply amazing man, I just happened to click on this link, and I must say I'm very impressed. Cant wait to see more.

I'm seriously impressed at how quickly you've taken to scratchbuilding stuff. Makes me want to go looking for plasticard signs I can "borrow" for raw materials >_>;

Well, thanks again for the kind comments folks.

I am just truely having fun with this stuff. I am trying to get my brother to leave the space wolves behind and join Orcdome but I dont think it will happen. If he come over to the green side it would give me reason to make more stuff.

I will say that at the rate I am cutting myself making this stuff I might need to invest in some band-aid company. Or if everyone could send me just one band-aid I might can make it for a few weeks.

These battlewagons are looking awesome, completely off the shiz-o-meter. The first one looks great and I cant wait to see what this one turns out like.
Great job keep it up.

Briliant!

But, by Gork, stop it, and start another one.

I did. The first one is done and done.



This is a new one.



Wonder if I should start a new thread with the new one or change the topic.

Updates on No 2

I think she is getting too big.



Thought I would give a close up on the turret. Over the top? Nah.

good to know its made in the USA :S

back to the topic, i feels like it will topple and fall down in any second but it will probably look alot more stable when the second turrent is done, and what are you going to do with the middle thing?

The middle section will have a spot for zap gun, kannon or labba. Not sure yet.

I see what ya mean about it toppling over now. I guess I need to get that other turret built.

Just a few more upgrades.

Other turret is kinda in place now. Also changed the sides a bit and started adding some rivets.

must resist pun, must resist pun,cant resist pun, puting rivets in sounds so riveting, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

the side turrets need guns pointing out!!!

yup. That is my big stumbling block atm. I am looking to get me some bits but nothing I am finding is tickling my fancy.

rummage though old army toys, theres all sorts to be found in them helicopter blades,rocket launchers,guns,bigger guns,even more guns,netting,barbwire(this is so win since you dont have to make it),wheels and so on im building a ork flier out of bits.

Cool Orks. I like your work.

I'm starting to get some ideas for another scratch built battlewagon.

I know what I am gonna do I just need to find parts that will work. I am gonna take the top off those side turrets and put 2 BW gunners. I just need to order em. I am gonna make the side areas engines, an engine on both sides. I have barrels for gas tanks but I am scrounging for engine parts.

I think next one I do I will have a bit more of a game plan. This one I just WAAAAGHed!!!!! my way through.

Super nice man.
Dont worry about cutting yourself, it comes with the territory. No need to complain until you lose a nub or something.

Moving along with the first side engine compartment.

Hey! Great progress This is a nice sideview, if you had one before I must've missed it. The back treads look great!

I know it'll probably be the last thing, but all of the flat surfaces are calling for some railing so orks can stand on them, like in your first BW

I really like the change to the top of the sides (does that make sense?). Slanting it like that really helps!

I really like this BW, keep it goin' And if you want you can just keep the tops on the turrets for now, and take them off later if you get the orky bits to put gunners in them. And for guns... you could always just orkify a popsicle stick or something

And at how well you're improving, I'm sure it would look really good, too!

(Also, I'd just keep it in the same thread, otherwise it might get lost and I wouldn't be able to find it again to see how far you've gotten )

OK Keep making it bigger! Bigger is better for dem greenskins!

Engine no. 1 is starting to take shape.

Engine no. 2 starts to shape up.

It's looking really good. Try letting even more of the egine "spill out" of the engine compartment over the rest of the vehicle.

well I just had a thought. It would seem my exhaust is gonna poor into the turrets on the sides.

Hope the boyz in the turrets like exhaust.

All orks, specially speedfreaks, likes exhaust fumes :-)

FYI - I am having issues with my pics. If anyone can not see the pics I will have it all fixed asap.

Just gonna start a new thread. these pics will be history in a few days.

Here is a link to the new thread.
