Thanks Selvaggio! I'm definitely going to make them a lot more orky. I'm still nowhere near done with either of them yet, but here's a bit more progress on the WWII one. There's still a whole bunch more crap to throw on, I'm trying to figure out a good spot to put a big ork "gob" symbol...I'm trying to incorporate in on the nose of the sub, but my current ideas are not totally looking right at the moment.

Anyway, here's my progress so far:






I also made a little snorkel for the grot gunner

This is pure win. I can't wait to see the gubbinification.

Thanks Sentinel!

I think I'm just aboot DONE with the building part... All that's left to do is glue on the last periscope aka peekin' tube on once it dries and.... *shudders* ....riveting...





I didn't glue on his snorkel because it will be infinitely easier to paint the little bugger separately


I carved battle damage all over it, but it's pretty hard to see. It'll hopefully look reallllllll nice when it's painted tho








Let me know what you think!

great stuff

Mate, great idea, will def have to give that a try...do you think a hair-dryer on a mid/high heat but a low power might help dry it out? Also you've got a great weathering technique going on there, the rust and mud looks awesome!

R

i think the grot gunner should be blue, like he has come out of the hole too early and gotten frost bite or just really cold. but yea my oppinions aside, the facts
THESE ARE EPIC
not many ork subs around and these are by far in the better half already... keep it up and i am hope in the not so far future there might be a fleet of these bad boyz?

This is a great idea Cant wait to see them finished.

@DopShard Thanks dude! And I seriously loled at the name of the link in your sig

@Ghostflame Thanks! And to be honest I never tried that, but it seems like it's worth a shot. Like you said tho it's prolly a good idea to keep it on a low setting

@bigfish Haha thanks man, and I like that idea, I'll try and see if I can make it come out alright

@TaWaaagh Thanks!

very nice, great converting.... much better than anything i can do....

@DopShard Thanks dude! And I seriously loled at the name of the link in your sig

haha yeah man

Thanks tough n' orky!

Somewhat noteworthy progress time! I don't think I've been able to make progress this quickly since....ever..

I'm now finished with the "clean" layer-- just about everything is the right color and all that's left to do is get this sucker dirty as hell and all blown to sh*t
(except for the grot, I'm doing him last so I don't mess him up while muddying everything)
And I haven't done anything with the base yet, just sprayed it.



The squad going with this sub is going to be a bunch o pirates

Also, this is the first thing I've ever sculpted ever. It's an RPK for the nob of the nuclear lookin sub. That squad/sub is going to be soviet themed.

It's not too bad for the first thing ever sculpted....butttt it's not really too good either lol

Also,

Yargh.

We all WAAAGH in an Orky Submarine
An Orky Submarine
An Orky Submarine

This is wonderful stuff. I hope that they get dinged up proper. A minor modeling idea: Taking a Boy and a Deffcopta and recreating the 'boarding drop' scene from Red October would be hilarious.

Awesome!

@ Selvaggio thanks dude!

@Wulfe haha that would be awesome! I think I might make a larger battlewagon equivalent one after these two, and I might just do that... Maybe I'll make it like a magnetized (and therefore usable) diorama or something.
See, now you're putting ideas in my head, but that's not good I already have too much stuff that I want to do!

You have a brilliant imagination and great delivery on that imagination. Beautifully executed.

Haha I know exactly how you feel! I can't tell if being on these forums is a good thing.... On the one hand, I'm getting so much awesome inspiration and support, and on the other, I'm getting so many ideas that I can't seem to get anything done! Haha!

and totally agree with everything said here haha

Finished the first phase of weathering... only 3 more to go! Not worthy of a pic, but just to let you guys know. Man, I really need to find a quicker and easier way to weather.

Sub's looking mighty fine with a lick o'paint on. Looking forward to the weathering pics..

Your vehicles look so dirty I love em.

Yargh! +1 Nice work!

Thanks guys!

Man this thing was a huge pain in the ass to chip/weather! [almost makes me second guess my intentions of a stompa in the near future]
Well it's FINALLY done now, let me know what you think about the weathering, I don't know if I'm totally sold on it...





Here's the grot gunner!

And Bigfish I tried to make him blue-ish to show that he was having trouble breathing under all that water/ground, but it just wasn't coming out right! I had to stick with regular green











Let me know what you think!

Oh wow, your Orks are a serious inspiration thats for sure. Very nice man, very nice.

Awesome conversions, sir! I love them, especially the Hummer and the "Submarine"! Subscribed!

I love the model and answering your question about the weathering.. I would do It more in lines from the front to the back to give a sense of movement underground.

Yeah, absolutely do it that way! I'd also do them as parallel lines!

Awesomeness.

why is the sub coming out of the ground? and why have i only just noticed this?

still it looks very nice all chipped and dirty like that

because its SUB-teranian
