I've been here over a month now (touched down on July 2nd) Da Dark Angelz aren't due until September (hence why not much activity from me at the moment )

I think any of those sample welds would work out great. Looks like you need place down little balls of GS and smush them down one at a time overlapping the previous (or just push down with something small and spherical in the messier case). There's probably a faster way though...

Ah cool, hope you enjoy it out there, and i tryed the gs ball thing this morning and i couldnt get it to work how i wanted it too :( but i have found another way anyway, thanks though

thanks

HAZZER wrote:Do the messy weldings they look more orky!!!

but they are haaaard! (i tryed earlyer and i made welds that are kinda messy, pics up when gs drys)



OOOK so i drew up a sketch of what i am thinking about doing for the right arm of this thing and i just wanted to get some feedback on what people thought.



I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR THE OTHER ARM YET JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW AND SURGESTIONS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED....
^ this is just so people see it, im not shouting.
so im thinking saw arm with daka on it pointing wherethe mek is looking but kinda casually. I want the whole model to be fairly at rest as i don't think it would fit in with the meks face if i had the arms swinging an axe or shooting thousands of bullets or something. but yeah as i said i am not sure what to do with the other arm, i also don't know what i want to run this as or even if i want to have it fit in with the game at all... so yeah any surgestions on this front would be cool.
Also as i siad i have finished gs the weld lines and am just wainting for them to dry befor pics, so i will talk about them later.

ANYWAY thanks for looking and comments and stuff would be great

Lots of stuff going on here.
I like your sketch bigfish, Make sure to magnetize like a good mek. Also I would love to see you put a shunta or big-zzappa on the other arm.
Kustom Meka Dread!

Look left... oh, I haven't updated it yet.... right, *now* look left

Sounds good to me! I was just going to say a big gun/z

But magnets are long and i would have to buy theeeem :( (i will though, as it is something worth doing and would make the whole weapon changing a very nice adition to the model, thanks )
and i think if i go with magnets then i might do a few variations

Well it would'nt look good without some big guns would it, im toying with the idea of having a killkannon, a shunta and a big zappa, and having them all magnatized

anyway pics, hav'nt been able to take pices of the big mek dread as it is still in the shop but soon it will be able to stand on its own (as long as the glue holds)
just painted some stuff a bit more



thanks for looking

UPDATE



so its actually based now, (kinda) but i will post a pic of that later.

SO WHAT DO PEOPLE THINK OF THE WELD LINES?
AND THE GENERAL MODEL?

thanks for looking

Lol at the termie getting crushed. I like the model a lot, it has a lot of character, and the way the body is "moving" looks right. The weld lines look good, but they may be a tad bit too large. I can't tell if this is actually the case, or if it's just from the pics being close, and it actually looks fine on the model irl. Either way even if they are a little big they'll more than likely look great and not stand out that way when it's painted. They stand out a lot more right now since they're bright green

wow...

Like where you're going with this bigfish

Welds'll be fine - the ones round the smoke-stacks look a little large, but not so much that they detract from the model. Don't forget it can be hard to get weld lines even and burn those annoying grots at the same time

Thanks and well i am hoping the weld lines won't stick out that much when the model is done but if they do, then i could always cut them off and redo them.

thanks and indeed

UPDATE

so i had a rush of meky energy this morning.



So first things first, i have decided not to go with the giant saw. This being because i don't have a large amount of plasticard left and i had the bits for a claw lyeing around (on other stuff) so i just thought it would be more efficiant to rycycle the bits.
secoundly i made a mini gun thing. what can i say everyone has being doing it of late so it has been on my mind. Not sure i like it as a shoulder mount or even if i will use it on this model at all (anti ait power being so important and all) but yeah tell me what you think of it?



ok so the claw. I was wanting to do a whole hand and am still thinking about it but i could'nt work out where the thumb would go and how it whould actually crush stuff. that and it might have been a bit too bulky ( even by ork standards) for the rest of the model. but we will see.



so i am wanting the termi to look like it is being crushed into a mound of dirt so i am trying to build it up around him slowly, after that i am going to add mud to the bottom of the boot too cover up the gs work and also to add some realness to the model.

Anyway thanks for looking and comments are always appreciated (unless they are spam >.&gt

thanks

Well, what do you think then....

YES looks great! And I like the idea of the termie looking like he's getting smushed into the mud. Is one of those guns using a mek's head for electric gubbins to fire? Haha

Thanks awesomesauce

OK SO IM SORRY IVE BEEN GONE (although lots of good ork blogs have sprung up in my absence so i geuss its all swings and roundabouts)
anyway, im at uni now so thats pretty cool but now ive settled in im going to bring my stuff up so i can get back into the swing of things again.

Also to get back into the swing of things i have a few surprises coming up over the next few months so yeah. watch this space.

oh an ive started drawing again



based on one of the bosses chosen Nobs (will be fluffing these guys out later)

cool! i would like to see that fluff.

AN ACTUAL UPDATE!!!

I bought some things online

28 SHOOTA BOYS!!! and 8 slugga choppa guys (well they will be when i finish with them ) all oop!


Really like the style of these models. I am planning to gs them to bring them up to be a bit bulkyer and replacing shooters and such but for now i am quite enjoying just having them. They are such cool little figres to own.
oh and thats not the icing on the cake



OOP BOYZ WITH POWER CLAWZ !!!

and just a fleeting thought of a conversion



an ork boy copying the crimson fists model that was released .

..... oh and ive ordered another 31 misalanious oop orks as well so this is not everything.

thanks for looking

Can't wait to see all those ork boyz painted up.
And that last ork HAS to be painted with either a crimson fist or nova marine scheme

Niether can i but 28 boys is going to take ages to paint and convert :/, but oh well. and yeah thats the plan

Also and update

I GOT ANOTHER 31 BOYS, although these ones are not in as good condition as the last bunch. Although because inferiour glue was used they were easy enough to dismantle. also got a bunch of weapons with them including some RT plasma cannons



and a little something else



20 bolters came along cheap so i thought i would get the and make 20 marine looting orks. Anyway will come back with boys progress in the new year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE

Dear hazzer
You do not know how many times i have read this message from you on all of the blogs that i subscribe too on daka. I am glad you are back
But as a punishment for giving me false hope that my favourite threads have been updated, i think you should have to go back and edit all of these messages so that they say "can't" instead of "cat"
"let the punishment fit the crime!!!!"

muhahaha....

anyway thanks for the feedback

PLEASE HELP

No list help yet, oh well.

anyway since im not sure if skhank is still on daka i have made a pain boy to get me through untill he gets back to me with out trade.




He still needs green stuffing over some of the joints but im pretty happy with him (although he is quite small). The whole urty siringe thing is represented by the stabby injector and the barrel of fightin juice on his back. but anyway i like him and i think it keeps in with the meky theme of my characters so yeah, all good.

oh and i also glued this guy together



Thanks for looking

Nice work on the pain boy... interesting mix of bits.

^Very interesting mix of bitz, definately!
He looks great, though!

Gitsplitta wrote:Nice work on the pain boy... interesting mix of bits.

Thanks (i think)

Matt.Kingsley wrote:^Very interesting mix of bitz, definately!

Thanks matt

SO the idea with the painboy is that because it is a big mek deathskull warband at the core there would be more (stolen) bionics and (stolen) cool gadgets for him to use compared to a goff warband painboy. so yeah thats why he is so meky for a painboy

and since i have a painboy i wanted a unit of boys to go with him (not in the game but just for gaks) i thoght it would be pretty cool for this unit just to be made up of whoever the doc was treating at the time. So the boys are all in various stages of "repair" anyway
pics



EVERY BOY IS CONVERTED IN SOME WAY AND BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM I AM NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH EACH ONE SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGUARDING A PRTICULAR ONE DO ASK THOUGH, AS ALTHOUGH THESE ARE CAPITAL LETTERS I AM NOT SHOUTING, THEY ARE JUST EASYER TO SEE...

Now the ones i like best



EVERYTHING WILL BE GREEN STUFFED INCLUDING THE PAINBOY/ GROTSINK GUY
