Have any of you come across a brilliant looking scratch-built vehicle on your travels?

Are you looking for anything special?

Some of the better stuff casted by the owner.

Just looking for general inspiration

As far as Orks are concerned my blog (see sig) has a few that I have created. There are many Ork vehicles on this forum if you look. If your looking for orks I can point you in the right direction.

A buddy of mine scratchbuilt a couple of Imperial flyers. Don't have pics, but you can probably find them on the WIP forum.

It's not his most detailed work but he also built this great dark elf ship.

Check out blackadder's work, he is literally insane.

Only my own (in person). few others in my area see fit to do anything drastic or noticeable.

I've got plenty of things but I think they walk the line between conversion/kit bash/ and scratch build. A Knight Titan built from plasticard and lots of bits, several Tanks of all sorts, plenty of things.

One of my outright largest is a Ordinatus Majoris only named the MXY-9591. Its main Sonic Disruptor platform towers over even a Reaver Titan. The weapon itself is larger than a leman russ tank!



Otherwise there are many in the gallery of all sorts.

May I suggest looking here:

Some of the work there is just nuts.
Black Adders and Kaus Not Santa's stuff, transforming Baneblades...

Not claiming it to be the best, but its certainly not like anything i'd found when looking for my inspiration;
My BW airship. First Image complete (98%ish), Second image is how it was constructed, mostly out of insta-molded ork vehicle bits, that when almost dry but still flexible, I bent into shape to fit the curves (with a frame structure underneath), was my first scratch build and imo worked really well Good luck!

As someone who loves getting lost in the dakka image gallery, I'd have to say this is a tough one.

There are loads of amazing scratchbuilt vehicles on here, and like was posted above, people like blackadder, just by themselves are just loaded with awesome designs.

Define "brilliant", please.

I've had positive comments on my Imperial Guard Tank conversions, but I have no idea if that's where your tastes lie.

For example:

Plastic Psychosis does amazing builds from scratch.
