Loving that half-track! Have you considered adding a second set of wheels in the front?

graven - Cheers amigo. I'm excited about both builds, probably because I've not really touched any vehicles for a long time...
Zeke - Panache? Da boyz are more familiar with pan ache - slapstick cooking implements around the head
Alas, the meks went straight back to work last night and are using the little grot bit...
They also put the wheels in place on the half-trakk, in the position already seen...
CK - Thanks, and good to see you back buddy. Hope everything's good with you and we'll see some of your work soon....
I didn't think of that...might have worked well on this build, but as with Zeke's comments, the meks didn't actually wait for any feedback before getting the rivet-guns out.
So, half-trakk done apart from the dakka options I believe....
And back to the mekshops.....

Bloody hell the Meks have been busy looking good nice and ram-shackled, the round section is the weapon platform as it can be altered for different set ups I believe

Everything's... good enough  . Between some rough patches, the birth of my daughter, and getting sidetracked, I believe it's time to resurrect the squeaky waagh!. Hey,I even painted a bit here and there
I didn't think of that...might have worked well on this build, but as with Zeke's comments, the meks didn't actually wait for any feedback before getting the rivet-guns out.
The sign of the true mekboy  . Love how it looks, and you could still add a second set of wheels if you wanted to... Not a necessity though, I like the look as-is, especially from the front. Is the plasticard bit on the front for a license plate?It looks like a nice place to add some random insulting text

Looking good bit big for regular/ Wartrak through maybe as a looted wagon? Not that it matters.

Half-track is looking great.
and I like the job on the looted enjinns.
Just a thought that came to me, while you're discussing the driver and his cockpit, have you thought of trying him off centre?

Got to see all Your new stuff before I could leave a message here.
Everything good, a lot, the Half Trak looks awesome as it is, but I would add a couple of bits on the front wheel mudguards.
Keep up the great work Mate!

graven - Cheers matey...that be for the dakka that be...
ldd - Sudden bursts of enthusiasm do happen around here now and again  Well done, that makes it seem like you actually read something rather than just look at the pwetties
CK - Nice to know things are mostly good, hope your daughter's doing well and excited to hear the squeaky waagh may raise it's voice once more
Good spot, that is indeed a license glyph-plate..I'll wait till it's coloured in a bit (oh look, icicles on Satan's nose....) before deciding what's suitable....
Llama - Thanks man. No such thing as a 'regular' vehicle in Upzag's gang  Pretty sure it's not the largest buggy I'm working on.....
Dr H - Cheers, I did indeed consider off-centre cabs, I'm a definite fan of asymmetrical orky stuff, but for soe reason switched it back to centre-line as I applied glue
Selvaggio - Nice to see you again. Luckily for you I've been a bit slack recently, so not too much to catch up on  Moar spiky bitz? I was thinking about spiking up the mud-guards, but then decided I quite liked the plain look....Spikes and barbed wire can always be added later though
So, rokkit launcher 'sorted'....
...And that unholy mess is the undrside of the catamarhino's rooftop treadplates.....
I think I'll leave you with that.....

graven - Thanks amigo  Let's see if the go-fasta sauce helps with the colouring in....
Dr H - Cheers doc....like any ork vehicle goes slow  Just charadon granite and runefang steel so far...there'll be more....
ldd - Thanks dawg  You just have to let your inner mek out...it's easy then
vik - I know  Danke....
PDH - Well thank you kind sir
CK - Cheers! Can I get on with colouring the rest of it before going on to the license glyph?
Skalk - Oh, some 'munda vehicles? Get on it
Last I checked the league banner flies proudly (if a little rustily) in my sig
And thank you!
Ok, tiny bit of work on the looted wagon....
Bit of protection for the grot driver to help prevent him being bashed on the bonce too many times by over-enthusiastic boyz....base for one dakka-point....still wondering about options such as boarding planks, have a couple of ideas, but not sold on any of them yet... also thinking about whether to have a small platform at the rear, midway down - or perhaps an attachment point for parts of the old sprue trukk/land train for those old-timers who may vaguely recollect that from way back in the blog....
