Which one is Buzzgob? To be honest I took all the kits and bits and dumped them in a bin when I started building

Edit: Googled it. I forgot who he was! I just saw some delicious bits and ordered hehe.

Holy cow! That was all done in one day? Done quickly and sweet looking it's no wonder you can do this for a living.

You're the Bob Ross of miniature painting. "that bit of metal could use a bit of rust ... right there. On your model you can put rust wherever you like. Wherever your imagination takes you. Next we'll mix a bit of titanium white and burnt sienna ..."

Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Take care

I talk to the Orks as I paint them, is that close enough?

Just kidding of course...

The vehicles look great so far! unbelivable that you're only 50 to 75% done! I would be stopping there from fear of messing it up! Can't wait to see more!

This is just wicked cool

I've been been converting and painting my ork hoard for over 10 years and think it's a good army, but your army is miles ahead of mine. If you haven't already done so on the forums, is there any chance you would share your technique for painting the vehicles?

Made some good progress yesterday. Other than the Orks riding them these vehicles are about 50-75% done. The Battlewagons on the right are further along than say the tanker. Tanker still needs a lot more work especially the front end.

Lol Funny stuff alb. My mom made me watch Bob Ross on PBS when I was little. And damn did you do all that painting yourself or did you have help. If no help what kind of toxic waste did you fall in and where can I get some. I want that super power.

I drank the tanker contents before the orks commandeered it.

Awesome work, they're already looking stunning and still not complete.

"Look over here, at this. We're just going to paint some happy dags on this happy little armor plate. Maybe one of the boys was feeling artistic that day... Looks like someone has gotten a lot of kills."

I went ahead and did most of the small details on these two Trukks. I was going to wait and do the riders when I do the infantry but I realized all I am really worried about is the skin matching. The other colors are easy enough to match. So I will do the skin and the bone colors (as most of them go over the finished green) later on down the line. I will likely also add dags and other freehand at the end, but I want to wait and see where the infantry go in terms of paint. I also want to wait and decide lens colors later as well.

There will be more riders on each of these, especially the topped Trakk. I decided to do them seperately mid way into adding them to these two vehicles. The Trukk will have a gunner in the cab and a couple more in the bed. The Trakk has a couple up top and a few in the bed as well.

Now onto the next part, I think the Tanker.

Looking back at the pictures, please forgive how terrible they are. Using bad lighting and no tripod. I will of course do final pics when they are done and I update the site.

LOL @ bad pics...

Your "bad" pics are better than some people's best offerings.
I see a theme with you... : )


Eric

Well that's the camera making up for my best efforts to not take a good picture. The reason most hobbyists take rough pics is because of the camera used, and that's perfectly fine considering the cost of a high end camera compared to more models

Awesome - I loved your Eldar you did last year, and the Orks look ace too - love the effort you put into them.

??
IIRC, last year he did a chaos army, based on pirates.
Am I remembering that wrong, GMM?


Eric

Correct 09 was Eldar, last year was pirates.

As usual no tripod and harsh lighting makes it hard to figure out what's going on, but it's just about done except for the riders, and I will do all black weathering when all the vehicles are done.

Now on to the front end!

Wow!
As always, your work is looking ASTOUNDING. I'm loving the rust effects that you've mastered.
I didn't realize exactly how big that tanker was until I noticed the tracks on it. Those are battlewagon tracks.
DANG, that thing is large.

I hope you've got a Big Mek in your force, because that's the ONLY way these battlewagons are EVER getting a cover save!

Looking forward to the riders and various hangers-on.

Eric

Nice, very nice.

Continue to inspire...


Very nicely done!

Actually yes, Eric. Mad Morks is a Mek

Those vehicles are sweet! Love the weathered details and you make me want to go out and buy an airbrush immediately. Those will look great on the gaming table and I'd really like to see how that display will turn out. Keep it up!

My god this is beautiful work. All your vehicles are brilliant. How do you do the rust?

It's a very complicated process.
He uses real metal in his paint, then leaves the model outside. Nature does the rest.


Eric

Front end of the tanker is about done. I am going to wait and do all the tires on all vehicles at once.

Wow.

That's it. Just "Wow."
I'm down to only having one word reactions, now. Thanks! LOL

Seriously, though, I LOVE the deep, rich red on that cab (kab?), and the shade of yellow on the ram is just spectacular.
Really liking the character on the faded checks on that plate, too.
I see another "Player's Choice" in the making.

I'd imagine it ticks your competition off that much more to know that, not only do you whip them in that competition, but you do so in just a matter of weeks.

Eric

Awesome trukk/tanker, btw what's it meant to be (if anything)

Have to agree with MM, that is a gorgeous yellow.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous stuff! I'll definitely look out for your army when I go to A-con.

Thanks guys!


Now onto the red buggies!

Very nice work!!!

Now I can see why they looked so good - they are based on the FW Tauros and Tauros Venators! Nice work!

I have seen somebody buy FW stuff and bot use it as it comes in the box, this must have cost a sweet penny

Awesome Ork minis + Awesome modeling and painting skills = Awesome WAAAGH!!!
