Hello.
After the GV announced the prophecy of the wolf, I really wanted to have a new improved prophet Mork and Gorka Gazkul Trak
At first I planned to buy it in the store when it is released.

But on one forum of the orcs where I am sitting, one mek decided to build it myself and I was fired by the desire to build it myself too.
Having agreed with him about a friendly “duel of the week” for an incentive, (in order not to abandon the project for years when the desire to build a boss disappears)

I took a set of Minotaur figures from a Technolog,
A plane from Robogir, also from a Technolog,
a some parts of sets from orcs from GW (DefDred, nobs, boys, bikers),
some Lego details
2 tubes of superglue,
a small sheet of PVC ...

And I started to create.

First, I dismembered two Minotaurs.
I needed a torso and legs in the pose I needed


Then I took the cockpit and put a torso inside it


Then I glued the legs of the Minotaur to him


After that, I built his quad gun from Lego and decorated the body with parts from the GW
at the same time I began to cut a claw for Gazkul


And then, I built a claw, attached it to the body, glued the shoulder pads and decorated the figure even more with parts from the GW.


Finally, I primed and photographed it with a toaster, because unfortunately I do not have a decent camera


Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka construction completed.

Write how it is for you.
I really appreciate your opinion
What do you think about this this project.
Thanks.

Wicked. Very nice work, especially on the klaw.

As for constructive thoughts, here's a few personal nitpicks. I think the feet are a tad too small. The whole looks a bit wobbly due to how top heavy it is, walking on those stubs. For cohesion, you might also want to put some nuts and bolts in there: the clean dags look like they're welded on, while the GW parts sport very visible bolts in rows, creating a bit of visual clash.

Not that "visual clash" would bother orks, buuut...

Thanks a lot for feedback
Redid something. I removed the large coils on Gazkul's lap and removed these large shoulders too.
Put smaller ones instead..
Added rivets and some wires and all small things
I retook the photo with a pose from the GV and added a boyz to it for scale and took a picture of it with my toaster (what I would have done without it: D)
Well, it seems to have gotten better ... but I'm not sure.
