Oo, you'll have to look out for that. Could be dangerous if someone was to fire some kind of missile up that... nah, what are the chances of that...it'll be fine

Teenagers can be very destructive

well, good deal these grots never searched for any droids then, eh?^^

and i felt that the extra teeth were needed on that bomb... do you think i should add some rivet-eyes too?

also.. thanks to daves chop-it device making these items for the side vents wasn´t a pain... and assembly was rather nice too... a bit fiddly when you drop parts ... but if you focus enough it works in a flow...^^

Master your work is amazing.

Grills look great. Detailing perfect.

As to position of the bomb. I personally favour action scenes, and would humbly suggest you have the bomb "BOMBS AWAY" in flight, attached via it's smoke trail to just below the flyer. Kind of only just fired, and the plane is peeling away.

Now that Sounds great Cam!!! I need to See if i am able to get this right.

This is looking outstanding. The teef on the bomb are sheer genius. The real question is, why has it taken you so long to start doing Orks?!

I dunno graven... I really dunno... by the way... I have almost a full army in bitz and metal and whatnot lying around... so I was destined for orks I think

by the way... the upcoming pics .... a big courtesy goes out to CAM... with his cool action pose idea... mate...brilliant idea... I was instantly sold... and it solved my problems a treat... tho I still have to figure out a means of support on the plane... anyone know how this should look like? something rough and ready?

well here are the pics... quality is not that impressive... I got an android smartphone and these are the fist pics of hobby related stuff... damn typing from there is too difficult for me... fat fingers syndrome it seems...

but I can surf at least... so we are always in touch now...always












the bigger flight stand is a clear IKEA Chinese eating stick...and the smaller "branch" is a flightstand of GW...

hope you like...

The action pose is genius. Get it painted, sunshine!

LOL... first some more patches and some riveting

have you thought about my question:
how would a bomb rig supposed to look like?

Sorry, yes, how about a big claw or even a g-clamp on the underside of the tail?

G-clamp?... I need to google that...

Like a vice.

ach... I do have some pipe holders from the hardware store that could be fitting...

like these:

and yep... I just googled g-clamp... dakka is getting very educational and inspirational today again

That's a great idea. Vice could have a release handle of sorts.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant sir.

I think they would be perfect. Maybe just add a little detail to make them look like they hinge, to release the bomb.

And just to go OTT a simple cable running up the outside if the fuselage to a pull cord for the gunner to "fire" the bomb.

That looks great Vik! Much better seeing the moments of hilarity captured in time! Those pipe holders are great too! There is some 'Munda to be built with those!

Definitely some Munda qualities there, now just need to hop on a jet to vikland and buy some . I think painting duct tupe on the plain, and the release mechanism is already in the bombers hand.

HAHAHA!! i'm getting back from my vacation and log onto dakka to see whats up. what are you up to? just building the coolest ever ork flyer!

as for the release those pipe holders would do the trick. but i also have an idea for the release mechanism. put a lever on the belly of the flyer so that it looks like the grot in the bomb is releasing it himself by just pulling it would look hilarious!

Perfect stand Vik! Simply great!

Vik has a grot-plane and grot bomb!

thanks for all the heartwarming compliments ... you make an old and almost bald guy all squishy^^

at didde... that lever idea sounds cool and funny... but i dunno if i am able to...er...pull...it off... as i today finished the device... a sort of crane... dunno if there is still enough room and maybe this one will never be seen...?

also... riveting times... there are still an oddplex of rivets to do... but the plane is 1/2 covered in rivets methinks...

oh... and i killed mother and alpha deathclaw today... sheesh... those have been some tough nuts... and boone was sleeping all through the fights...but i have my trusty veminslayer (5.56mm) and that was more´n enough for the lot of´em^^

cheers vik...now over to the pics:








the grappler is made by the way from coffey stirres...rather easy by the way too....

Some beautiful riveting there Vik! I'm glad you added all the plates- really brings it together as "greenskin"

i see i have forgotten to add the propeller on these pics... additional plating happened there too...

do you think i should add plates to the bomb as well? for unique look and so on?

I like the bomb the way it is, no extra patches there, unless its a patch over the sharks eye. Because pirate shark would be da bomb .

theo... i read your comment earlier and didn´t reply here...

but... you definatly put the finger on a special point in my heart!!!... you showed me the way towards my grot army...

pirate grots!!!... that the way to go!

and i did so!!!

(used up too many exclamation marks arleady?)

anyway... this is da bomb and da grot fighta...before priming... all riveted up for good...







and then i went a bit further and even added the primer...and the first basecoat...tho this is not to be seen yet...





cheers, and i hope you like^^

vik

I love it when primer brings a model together! Looks fantastic Vik!

Looking great, now there's a competition.

All I ever wanted to see in grot aero-tech Supagood!

Can't add anything more than Good work Vik. It's Da Bomb...
