My first attempt at something like this. Advice welcome. Hope you like it: )

**PossumCraft**

Damned good job. Really nice go for a first try, and it'll look ace when painted.

I'd suggest maybe a crude bad moons icon on the side of the turret to break that flat surface there.

Not sure on the new rules for orks, but it also seems to lack a few guns for anything orky. Does it have enough?

**Novelist47**

Maybe add more ork runes everywhere.
Looking good though.

**defwolf**

Thanks guys. I plan on putting a boy in the back with a gun. I have no idea if this could be used in a game

I was planning on painting more glyphs. And ofcourse a moon glyph. More dakka would be good to!!!

**Megaknob**

Looks great my only advice is build a bigger turret next time it's a bit scrawny looks like grots would drive it. Look at forge worlds grot megatank it's similar to that big tank small turrets, also could we see a ork boy stood next to it for scaling purposes?

**docdoom77**

I freaking adore this! Great work!

**Udo**

I'm sold on this. Great.

**Aetare**

Looks like a fun project; I like it!

**defwolf**

Thanks for the kind words guys!!!

As requested

Looks like a nice Looted Waggon! It needs a bit of contrast in my oppinion but that will show up when it is painted I guess.
Other than that it s pretty orky I think. Keep feeding us with progress pics.
Can you tell me / us what kind of model it is? And scale of course!
Thumbs up

**edwardmyst**

Looks good! Very Orky! I think many worlds would produce their own tanks and such, and so this belongs on the table in an Ork raiding army. A looted wagon from some small miserable outpost no one cared enough about to send a real tank to. Keep it coming!

I started to paint it last night using some vallejo rust effects and some army painter washes. I hate how it looks

. I think I might go for a Goff theme. I've always like the checker board look with splashes of red.
Anyway, as far as the model goes. It's a "New Ray" 1/32 US Army M3 Lee. One from the EZ build line.

Changed out the main gun to something more awesome. And the smoke stack. Got rid of the melta gun. It bothered me. I added a hatch on the turret. Now all I need is a suitable ork TC (Tank commander). Anyone have any recomendations?

**Aetare**

Love the paneling on here; that main cannon also looks sweet.

**Kustomer D**

Looking forward to see it finished.

I bought some heads and torsos from Spellcrow to build a tank commanda for my Skullhamma Conversion.

**defwolf**

Those look awesome. I'm gonna check out spellcrow. Thanks!

**Tedcase**

Excited to see how this develops.

**Megaknob**

I'm also looking at spell crow I have used kromlechs version of the German orks for my boys

**Funzeez**

I use Spellcrow for their excellent Freebooter heads. Really cool company. My first order from them ended up being late because of production so they sent me a ton of extra bits and a hand written apology. Everything else has been on time though.

**defwolf**

Thats awesome! I just ordered some kromlech bitz. Will update when they get installed.

**defwolf**

Some bitz came in so here it is. Added a tc with a fancy ig hat

. I think I'm gonna be done adding stuff. I'm gonna paint her up next.

Sneaky grot!

**shingouki**

Great stuff,love the grot peeking out the lid lol.
