Love the look of the buggy, got a knocked together feel to it, great stuff.

Buggy number 3. Still lots to do - finish the exhausts, mesh windscreen, moar rivets.


And of course, thanks for the comments. Keep 'em coming.

Looks great. Always loved Ork spiked bumpers!

After a long bout of the winter blahs, I'm finally painting again.

Here we see Overlord Silk keeping tabs on the progress.


Concentrating on getting the inner components finished so I can do the final assembly.


Just before Christmas I received a package. In it was 30 lbs. of plastic goodness.


They're Makitainers, and I pledged entirely too much on their Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rolljordan/maki-games-high-quality-modular-wargaming-terrain?ref=nav_search

When built, they're pretty close in height to the old Necromunda bulkheads.


The details are nice, and they're quite sturdy, however many of the pieces need some work before they'll fit together properly. I was hoping that they would just click together like Legos, but such is not the case. Still, they'll make nice scenery. When I get around to assembling and painting them.

Some work on my civilian vehicles using the Heller 1/43 scale Citroen 2CV kit.

Still looking great

Have you got shares in Heller I like the watchful eye as well

Thanks for the comments. I probably should get shares in Heller, as I own 7 kits (2 Citroen 11CV, 4 Citroen 2CV, and 1 Renault 4CV) and I want moar.

Some progress on my Deathskulls buggy. Driver added.


I like how the squig juice thruster bottles came out.


Not sure why I painted the dials. They won't be very visible once the buggy is assembled.


I guess you can see them a wee bit from the back.


Stowage.


Door added.


Getting there. Once the glue on the door is dried and I do a few touch-ups on the inside of the shell, it's time for final assembly and final paint touch-ups. Comments welcome.

Oooh... I quite like that!

Looking good all the detail adds to the charm, plus if you know it's there paint it

Nice job

Thanks for the comments.

Deathskulls buggy finally assembled. A few more touch-ups and I call it done.


I still have to paint the headlights. Not looking forward to this part. I'm fairly sure I saw a quick tutorial somewhere on this site on how to paint headlights, but my search-fu is weak as I can't seem to find it.


Have to fix the gap in the bottom door hinge.


I dusted the wheels and bottom portion with grey chalk to show dirt picked up from traveling the ash wastes.


Comments or hints on how to paint the headlights are welcome.

I just love that Zogg... nothing better in my book than an orkified VW Beetle. Bravo!

Looks brilliant bud.

I think Gits has a tut on lenses!

Actually it's a tut done by Vent. You can find the link from his profile page.

Yep, that's the tutorial I was thinking of. Thanks.

After staring at the results of a google search on round headlights, I decided to try that method but using white. I like how the big one turned out. The small one could use some more work. Thoughts?

Is that shading painted in or a reflection? I can't tell. (which is good)

I like it on the big one for sure.

A little from column A and a little from column B. I painted the headlights white, put a horizontal grey band across the middle and a little bit of yellow in the bottom left. The top half got a grey wash and then a dab of white in the top right. Then I gave it a wash of watered down Runefang Steel to give it a bit of shine.

Excellent. I'll have to try that.

Buggy is looking great so far!

Did this a while back using MSpaint and forgot to post it.

Perfect. The Zoggmobile ready to roll.

Took these photos a while ago but never got around to posting them. I just finished sealing it with Army Painter Quickshade and will post updated pics later.

Nice work Zogg, glad you got around to posting.

Yes looks totally orky love the crazed paint job and the added gubbinz, actually I liked these so much I invested in 2 2CV's and a couple of other kits in that range and like I need another project

Anyway can't wait to see what you do next especially with those other kits

Thanks for the comments. Here's the buggy after being brush painted with the Army Painter Quickshade varnish. Next up is to spray it with a matt varnish to get rid of that shine and maybe add some chalk dust weathering.

Finished pics of the looted buggy can be found here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/657524.page#8003969

So I'm waffling between standard and clear bases. Thoughts?

For the vehicles use I would say clear for general play I would go detailed base, so I guess on that matter I helped none my bad

Buggy looking great.

Another person tempting me with this clear bases. I like them.

So instead of painting these two buggies...



...what do I do? Start building another one.

That is the true way! May you never run out of ongoing projects!
