Thank's Deunstephe.
You painted a mean dakkajet, realy nice.

Last weekend was a bust, modelingwise. Didn't get much done. Maybe next weekend.
Saw some great models this week, so many new idea's.. But as for my Loota's, I can't seem to dream up a decent conversion so far. Tanks and the bigger things relativly easy for me. But man size models are not my cup of tea, so far.

What do you mean ? what is it you are struggling with in the figure area?

I'd like to build some grot's with dakkaguns. But I can't seem to get a decent sculpture done. And the GW grot's are not so flexible for conversion purpuses, in my eye's. I'd like to build some sort of Alien's power loader armor, but it's so damm small. I'm better at killa kan and Grot tank size stuff.. I'm looking into Dust tactics Light assault walkers to chop, but no local shop carries these, so it's hard to get a decent feel for the size...

Also I dont realy like the ork one's with those weapon rigs. They seem to uniform and unOrky to me. But here conversion seems more doable, get rid of the rigs, and scratch build some other autocannon like thingamagick. Or a multiple rockit launcha....

I just ordered some Dust tactics stuff myself, it isn't a light assault walker but it should still give some scale. You can get DT stuff pretty cheap off of eBay.

For my lootas I used the burna boy weapons, just cutting off the flamer tubes and hooking up some other weapons to them. Check out this thread for inspiration: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/409193.page

Nice Deunstephe. Thanks for the link. Inspiring.....

The Dakka guns are great from the loota kit, but the swaps and the Eldar guns look great to.. Switch the controler to a grot, and Tadaa... Thanks.

No probs, there's tons of great stuff around the site.

Also thank you for the compliment on my Dakkajet!

Currently I'm doing a little model, it's for the Grot army, care to hazzard a guess as to what it's gona be?

Grot in power armour or grot dread either way looks good so far

Yup, Grot nob in Mega Armor, indeed..
A set of bike gun's are gona be one arm. A power claw will be the other....

Nice. Always cool to see conversion armies and anything Ork related. Keep it running. Awesome.

The Grot nob armor suit is coming allong slowly. The twin linked shoota needs to be fitted and a power claw made.

I just linked here through the LoER forum, great stuff here and I'm glad you posted. You have excellent scratchbuild skills and your RPT (rivet per tank) count is impressive.

Subbed and looking forward to seeing more from you, thank you for sharing your work.

Dude! you've got some serious talent going on in here!

Thanks, Skalk Bloodaxe and dsteingass .

Hey there's a lot of great modelers here. Glad I can ad a litle.
And of course its' nice to see a lot of great stuf here for inspiration.

I hope to get the mega armor build done this weekend... More pics will follow...

Sleeping poorly has an advantage, I got some work done on the Grot WarBoss in Mega Armor.
I's about ready for paint.

That is excellent and totally represents the Ork culture of hammerin' and stuff.

What do you use for rivets?

Some of the rivit's are hand made, the rest is Rhinestone Gem's found on E-bay. ( found that tip here )
I got three sizes, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm. That covers most of the needs, but sometimes I need some smaler ones, and those are hand made.

Fantastic mega armour!

Here are some better pics, with basecoat....

Nice one mate reminds me of a bigger version of the Kromlech Clankers

That is a solid build. Great job!

Got a couple of kit's last night from a few friends.
Yet another Death Dread and Dakka Jet...

So off to the building table....

Dam you have some good friends all mine give me is gak

Got started on the third Dread.
This one get's the tusked face style. And as most of my walker a modified stance.
I streched the right leg a bit at the knee joint. Together with the rotated left one the stance will be alterd quite a bit.
It can use a bit more hieght in my book. I find the original stance realy low....

QFT, same here.

Nice work on the legs already. I really like how nothing you touch remains stock for very long.

Thank's Skalk Bloodaxe...
That's just my inner Grot comming out.....

Here are three and four together with one. Three is just a body with scratch build legs. Four is the new nearly origial one on the right....

A big change is being made. No more orks in the army...
The army will follow the ork codex, but with all Grot and concersion models.

The first dakka-jet is being converted to a Grot pilot, to follow this line ...
Most of the tanks do not need further convertion. Killa kans, Death dreads and Mega Dreads also need no real convertion either.

Anyone interested in sweeping up some orks???

You got a list mate might be interested pics help

If you're turning the bomber to a Grot pilot have you thought of 2 seats instead of 1 ?

I am thinking one flying crazy style and the other with his hands over his eyes, just an idea plus it would bulk out the cockpit as well.

Maybe something like this guy I made a while ago :

Nice bit of scuplting there, Lone Dirty Dog..

For the first one, that's gonna be a straight up Dakka Jet, I thought a lone grot will do.
I'd like to build a bomber with a Mosqito style cockpit (second crewman next to, but slightly offset to the rear), and there's always the stretched cockpit (F-14 like).
For the Bomber I also want to mate 2 fuselages together like a Twin mustang.

And then there's an idea to build a Dakka-jet with Corsair like wings. ( reversed gull type wings)

As for number one. there's something I'm working on today that I'd like get doen, that would be a nice mod. I hope...

WOW thats some list mate hope you have the funds to cover it but I like you're thinking some interesting ideas and concepts.

The Mosquito cockpit idea is interesting never really took notice before, now I see the offset seating that could work well.

The Twin Mustang look I have seen done with the Dakka jet some where, I will have a look in my pics if you want it might work for some inspiration.

Thanks I done it a while ago for an egg plane but never used it.
