The next big build I'm guessing.

Looking good the shelf is now clear to take this are you just using stompa parts on this or have you used any other kits

Yup! AND its from Tale Spin, which I loved as a child

Aye me too.

Looking truly awesome.

That thing looks perfectly like a British Warship, excellent work, as usual.

Personally I think Jets out back And some nice stubby Orky wings. Also a silly Tail fin, thinking the Venom aircraft style.



I also always loved the wing design of the US Corsair



Could look sleek and stubby and orky. And kinda tie in to the fighter bombers, ish.

Just my two pence worth.

hahahaha you make me LOL so much, love your post hehe, yes im trying to just use stompa parts only at the moment, i'm doing it so if anyone want to copy, then there is a small amount of buy GW stuff, i will be using other stuff but for now its stomp all the way with alot of plastic card for good luck.

ok update, just a small one


ok like i said before, im trying to use as much stompa bits as i can, keep it in the family and all that, so i've made 2 side guns, this is only one, i made the other last night, but no update on that till later, so there are one on each side, and i like how they turned out, very simple and they will be gunned by a grot.





again this is unfinished in this photo, but i finished it last night, all the decking was done, i will update the photo later. love the way this bit went, it give the ship a really big feel to it.

hubba, hubba (mre i cann´t muster up to say....) *drools*

I really like how that tower came out! Very orky

Stunning work, and fast too.
this beast is gonna get finished in a flash...

thanks again for all the comment, keep them coming.

OK I'm now going to upset some of you, i have dissided to make this in to a ship ship, a boat that goes on water, i can't rack my brain around making it look like it flys, i would have to add landing gear and i still have no idea what to do about engines and wings (up or down or across pointing one's AHHHhhhhHHHhhhhhh) so in a nut shell, we are back on track for it to be a boat, so HMS (insert name) Destroyer.

update time

ok i wanted to make a platform for the big gunzzzz so it looked kool-errrrrr at the front, so this is how i started it, just making some brackets and building it all up, this then gave me an idea for some gun ports.......you see my thinking now



so in these photo's you can see the ports, going to make some windows like on the old school ships for cannons, will do that tonight




any not think this gun looks kool



ok here is the rest, its coming along nicely now, side guns look kool kool kool





and overall this ship is look good, really happy with this, just ordered some stuff from FW, Small guns and a boss, bits and bobs, just to give it that added "BLING"





hope you like as much as i am making it lol

Looking great! I think your decision to build it a ship makes sense, and I love the attention to detail!

Now you need to chop it at the waterline and put magnets on- so you can take it and put it on a table with it looking like it's floating!

I agree, might as well be a ship... the logistics of using this thing in an actual game make it impractical anyway.... I would consider it more a display piece... or a work of art?

You could chop off the lower hull and model it as floating in water however. The hull looks a bit small for such a large, hulking 'ship'. Furthermore, you could add a ship ram at the front to give the impression that there is more Orkyness below the surface, without actually having to model it. As it is it looks topheavy, not necessarily a bad thing because it's orky, but still a little awkward.

Furthermore, Someone could actually use it in an APOC game as a ship docked in port, theoretically. Or offshore as fire support for an Orky D-day.

Or in other words: don't stop! This thing is a work of art so let that little bit of sanity you have left fade off into the darkness, even if it takes months to finish don't stop until every inch is covered with orkyness!

MY ORK DESTROYER

ok so what is it? well its at ship that hovers in the air and kills everything, the plan is to make something that looks like the photo's below but Ork style, its as simple as that. its not going to follow any GW rules, its just a show model

just saying again what i said at the beginning guys, "show Model" hahaha

WOW!..................yep that about some's it up................hang on!
fantastic!, outstanding!, mind blowing! oh and beyond human engineering!...........waz you are not from earth!

AL

These are really amazing.

I'm actually really glad you made it a regular ship, it would've looked a little silly flying across the skies! Really think you need to bulk up the hull now though, or at least just the bow of the ship needs to be bulked up. Plus, it's even more like "Da Grimlug"! Love the crow's nest up top, you should have some wire/string going down from it.

More dakka! Dakka dakka dakka dakka! Hurhurhur...

Looking great wazz!

As always Wazz, your work is fracking top notch! That's the best "boat" I've ever seen

i feel the love as always King, thanks mate, still need a name, should really make a list.

This is the most disgusting case of modelling for advantage I have ever seen, and you should be ashamed of yourself!

In all seriousness though, these are absolutely fantastic. Way to make my scartch builds look like garbage! I'm taking notes on that boat one in particular, I got started on my own battleship (much smaller, Battlewagon sized because butthurt tears) and it doesn't look nearly as good (50% because its so small, 50% because holy gak that one looks awesome)

Can I have some measurements Wazzoo200 I think I need a bigger shelf

I may be partial, but I think the name Da Thundacracka would be perfect.

Good choice on the boat o flyer.

Looking amazing. If it's a destroyer though, Should have some rokkits dude, destroyers is all about missiles these days.

Update

i did some more work on the BIG Gun, it really make me smile when i look at this as i like it so much lol i know i sound a little vain but i really do love how this thing went, i also decided to made this part of the deck wooden planks, this was hard work, but paid off by looking good.





i did a small bit of detail work with this crane, it gives it a more working ship look, and i put it on with magnets so i don't brake it off every 2 minutes






did some more work on the command decks, can't do much here as i'm still waiting for my FW and Ebay post grrrrrrrrrrrrr






open gun ports, not sure where i'm going with them yet, might put some orks looking out of them




love this little guy all on his own working his ass off hahahahahaha

oh and here is a overall photo

Call It EPIC is not enuff!

@wazzoo2000 - I just stumbled upon your blog and to say the least I am flabbergasted, flummoxed and just plain jealous of your ninja like skills in this craft. I've been tinkering with the idea of doing conversions/scratch builds for my necron army. Granted I think Orks are like blondes - they have more fun but you know I gotta try. Anyway, I'm interested in knowing a few things that I just don't have time to read through 50 pages of posts to find out so if you don't mind could you answer the following questions for me - then I'll go away

1. Do you draw everything out first on a sketch pad before you do anything?
2. Do you use some kind of CAD program to decide on dimensions of the shapes for the plasticard?
3. What thicknesses of plasticard do you generally use?
4. Ok, I thought I had more questions...answers to #1 through #3 will probably create more anyway....

By the time your finished it will be in the top 5 most amazing and awesome models ever made, I mean of any type, I think it knocks the spots of that goblin town thing everyone raved about a while back and it's definitely my personal favourite, though Arakasi has a warlord and Meganobz that when finished will give you a run for my money. Keep going dude. Truly inspirational.

1, No, i build from the heart, the only time i draw anything is when im trying to make my mind up about a shape of some thing or the .........lets say..........the size of a wing and shape, i would then draw it and cut it out and hold it up to the model. stuff like that.

2, nope, wouldn't know where to start and to be honest don't even know what that is lol

3, i buy all my card by eye, i have a model train shop in York, UK, that sell it all, so i just pop in and get what i need. my advice is buy a load off eBay and keep hold of the packaging and just keep re-buying what you like to use, i do this with tubes now from eBay, when one packet runs out i just re-order it.

4...........................

I think that those umm... gun ports under the (double mega my world cannon) could be used as the anchor housing. I think it would be functional and such...

Plus you can always throw a few extra guns and such in there.
