That one looks great.

Found the one I was thinking of, and typically for me it's a cake!!!!!!!

We go to church Sunday mornings. Bible study is from 9-10:15am, then church itself is from 10:15-11:45am. They have a Sunday night prayer meeting that is usually about an hour long, but it's not every Sunday, just depends on what else is happening. Wednesday evenings is another prayer service and is like a little mid week tune up for us. Tonight is something special. We are doing some repair work at the church fixing drywall and possibly doing some painting. Since I have no income right now I try to tithe my time, the church just doesn't have a lot for me to do currently. I love the time at this church, we recently changed a few months ago and we are making this our home church now. I was baptized as a infant, and my family is religious, but I'm getting rebaptised this Sunday as an affirmation of my beliefs and to show God that This is MY CHOICE.

I am never afraid to talk about my beliefs, but I usually hang back for questions. If anyone has any feel free to PM me and I'll answer what I can, and get you the others as soon as I can get em.

i think there seems to be now way to avoid the pistons it seems

they are of course fully rightly used whenever possible as acording to the rule of cool^^

Personally I'd go heavy on the armor, with less showing, but you cod have a piece or two missing to show some piston if you like.

now there is a nice idea.....!

and i think the baptizm as a grwon up is actually the fairer thing to do as i think often later on peeps ask themselves why they had to be baptized in the first place...so doing it at the right time in your life is a better way to do it in my view...
also.... i quite think that doing your tithe this way is way better than just shoving cash into the greedy hands of some priests...(i have come to know some awefully ones so i am a bit biased....) this way you show way more that you are concerned on the churchs well being than otherwise...but of course hard money is still needed...

haha lol... cam... i think i saw that one recently too.... i think there was a pic with it´s maker/baker too?...

**Dr H**

Can't really add anything as everyone else got there before me. So, yes...what they said.

Pistons and cables for the win.

**Viktor von Domm**

*big grin* i would have been quite surprised if you would have argued diffrently^^

**dsteingass**

Whoa..Vik has the greenskin fever!

@Cam..that is a cake??? holy crap!

**Viktor von Domm**

tomorrow with a bit of luck you will see how feverish i am now...

**Theophony**

I don know lots about orks, grots and squigs, but I think squigs can have mushrooms grow on them. If his is he case I say you build a mushroom look out tower on top of the squig.

**shasolenzabi**

That would work best on a squiggoth! they are absolutely HUGE!

**Theophony**

Vik has laid a big egg for this though shaso. I'm thinking Titan squig sized.

We could hear him clucking here in the U.S. it's how his phone really got broken, the egg landed on it

**Viktor von Domm**

hurhurhur...

I have thought about a squiggoth too... but one step at a time mates... one step a´time

and welcome back shaso!

the nice idea with the ´shrooms will eventually reappear as I have cardboard/paper mushrooms from an artshop in the 28mm scale...

**Theophony**

Sorry, when I'm up at 1:30 in the morning because I couldn't sleep that he quality joke you get

I'll try better since you have such an 'egg'cellent base of your idea

.

**Viktor von Domm**

well.... I am currently sitting at school.... how´s that for a start of crappy humor...

why do you stay up for so long anyway?

**Theophony**

Just my iPhone, I charge it in the master bathroom at night, that way we have a phone on the second story for emergencies. Also allows me to play candy crush (to relax), and check updates from those foreigners on different timetables as we're on.

you silly lot

well I had to get an early night yesterday....it seems I always feel tiered and smashed when someone forces me to do yoga and stuff... urgh... well yesterday we had three classes that somehow all ended up with some kind of relaxation and somehow I didn´t feel better at all....

BUT... I promised you pics of my current project, right? right!

but first.... why I started this project...:

I think of the orks as the ultimate in "belief conquers all". Keep your SOB and SM, they know nothing of faith. True faith is strapping yourself to a brick, and it fly's because you painted it RED. Really fly's. JUST BECAUSE IT'S RED..... now that is belief.

so in homoage to this great quote of Camkierhi ....I present to you...

DA Brick!

this flyer will be steered again by grots... maybe the odd ork slave will do some odd-jobs...
also... it will have a fully detailed interior...and I am currently thinking about giving it skiffs for landing gear...

any thoughts will be appreciated...provided you tell´em

cheers, vik

**Theophony**

Those engines are inspirational vik

never thought of the squirt bottle tops as engines. I'm at a loss right now for ideas to help with it. The only thing I would recommend is reinforcing the front of it. If its going to be a "flying brick" than I think that it's main weapon should be ramming other fighters. So bang up the front a bit, maybe the odd bits of enemy aircraft stuck in it.

Edit: when it comes to painting don't forget the graffiti, maybe something like "Smashing Good Time" orkified on the side.

I really could see this being a fighter ace, who specializes in attacking flying fortresses, and battering off antennas, radar units, and gun ports. Now we really know hat knocked Athena off the table while klaus was not looking

**Viktor von Domm**

LOL.... I bet then I would have a legal case against me if I ever hurt the Athena

but I agree... some kind of battering gear needs to be happening at the front... I have been experimenting with dozerblades already... but currently nothing really looks the way I want it...
also I am atm working on a quad lascanon setup on the top... it will have a grot gunner between two sets of two lascanons...

graffiti is a must.... we are of one mind... and I like that quote of yours... I have a good feeling it will appear on one side or on a new ram/dozerblade setup at the front...

the big side holes will have gunners and big guns... I have to find the right bitz or actually attempt to scratchbuild big guns ... I think I will visit wazoo2000´s thread for inspiration...

the idea to have actual enemy aircraft bitz stuck in the front is a rather nice one...

**dsteingass**

Haha

and Ace? That means he's survived more than one "attack" lol This is gonna be badass..I can smell it

**Viktor von Domm**

This is gonna be badass..I can smell it

lol...sorry

well... I think my grots are not full swing green hides... not all suicidal and dumb... I imagine them a bit more clever and cunning... and with a healthy sense for survival...

after all... live on to fight another day^^

**Dr H**

Nice concept Vik.
This talk of flying bricks puts me in mind of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

As for the ram, how about a rough-cut / sharpened piece of I beam?

@dave, that's just your drain smelling

@vik, instead of a dozen blade put a claw on the front. It can grab sections of brick walls to use as a brush guard. As for side weapons you should just model grots in turrets with stacks of bricks chucking them at opponents. The brick wall can have a grot out on it tuck pointing it while in flight
