hasslefree has tons of cool mini for such needs... and do look for reaper chronoscope minis as they have some really cool minis too... for example the sucker punch minis too, for a game of zombies they fit like a glove^^

and you are always carring your katana while drinking a "soda"?

Hey the DAKKAwing is looking really good so far, it put a smile on my face. What are the things you used for the "guns" on each wing? They look familiar, are those the spring mechanisms/pump parts in spray bottles?

The VCR in the background is one of the reasons I Green Screen some of my pics. Other times I'm just in a rush and don't remember to do it.

If it were a Ninjato and a can of coke, there could be pictures of me like that from the 90's.

Thanks !.

The guns are completely scratch built. Two pieces of plastic tubing crammed inside 3 pieces of a Bic Round stic pen.

you have been a dangerous man back then^^

feth. Seriously, I cant thank Bic enough for making those cheap ass pens they make. I have built so many things for not only my Orks, but Ive honestly, even fixed some house hold appliances with those tubes

The dakkawing wing looks great.

D

I'm torn with the dakkawing. I'd like to have the 3 sets of guns on the model, but I'm worried it would destroy the vibe it has going.

Before I met my the woman who was to be my wife, I was training for much more dangerous lines of work.

It's amazing what the love of a good woman will do to you.

I'll have a few more Zombicide customs in the coming weeks. One for each member of my gaming group. The hold up is finding suitable miniatures.

Anyone know a sculptor who's willing to work cheap ?

dunno cheap sculptors... but good ones... RS Jake... and Storag comes to my mind...

and yeah... women can definatly sooth, redirect and teach you some much needed lessons^^


what kind of minis do you need? anything special about them?

I was thinking about zombie Apocalypse survivors based on my gaming groups members.

At the very least miniature heads that resemble ours to put on other figures. I wouldn't be above putting my ugly mug on a Space Marine Captain. Kit bashing and scuplting bodies I could do, but sculpting faces that resemble non mutants is out of my league. Acutally heads seem to be the way to go. I could just cast them as needed and slap on other models I decapitated.

well i suggest you contact RS Jake... he might have atm some time for such like sculpts...

and i meant more a discription of said characters... then i could lend you a hand for some suitable minis i might think of...after all zombie fighters are almost in every mini range for every company...

I'd have to discuss with my friends what they are looking for, but if you find a fat guy in a trenchcoat let me know.

I'm looking into having a comic book artist make up some concept art, I know a few. Seeing if I can talk him into making paper minatures for us. Once we're happy with the look of those I can use them as something to have sculpts based on.

I like a lot of the stuff from Hasslefree, but it's ironically quite a hassle to get their stuff stateside, for anything less than full retail plus international shipping.

Next weekend I'm going to try to get my gaming group to show in Zombie Hunting attire and take pictures, to have something to give to the artists.

nice job on the ork planes but they seem to miss something. millions and millions of rivets!

True...True... I thought you were going to say pilots ot cockpits.. but yeah I need rivets to.

It's not Orky without rivets.

for the "big" trenchcoat wearer... i would at least suggest a delaque from necromunda... there are some heavier set mins of that line...


http://www.heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_15&products_id=130

would this one work... i am sure he can loose his rocket launcher and get some other gun instead...

That guy is epic.

A little expensive for my taste, but beautiful models in that line.

Looking at DeLaques is a great idea for trench coat models. I'm sure I have a few of them in my Necromunda collection. Thank you for the idea.

was a pleasure^^... tho to be frank... i don´t really like delaques^^ the bald look just doesn´t speak to me^^

I think I want that model, of course I'd dremel out the head, but still a nice model to base a cool character off of!

The great thing about bald heads is that you can putty some hair onto them.

yup... a new hairdo would make this model way better!

Da Big Mek decided dis jet needed more thrustas!!







The tank and was a wooden model from a craft store. Added a ton of plating and other detail to it. The picture came out crap but the model is coming out so well that I wouldn't feel bad actually fielding it as a vehicle, if I needed a generic tank.

The statue is a Dollar Store toy sitting on a Kuerig Cop, based on a tin can lid.

the orkwing looks just super! the extra thrusters make it look now as finished as can be in my book!

and the lil tank... too bad you don´t use the dakka gallery... would have loved to zoom in on the pic... as for the statue... cool... this will be a nice terrain piece... will you do it bronze or plaster like?

I''ve been using the dakka gallery for the last 20 or so images.

The one with the tank is here:

ah... i see... but now i am a bit confused about the tracks... will you do some work on these?

the tank is definatly cute but at the same time efficient looking... specially the turret and the barrel...

Ha! Love the orkwing, it's coming out great so far

Back when 6E was released, August, I scratch built an Aegis defense line. I ordered on from my LGS at the same time, with them promising me a 2 week delivery, because I didn't have a good idea how to build a quad gun,. without one for reference.
1 week later I asked about, was told it would be another week.
2 weeks later, when it should have arrived, I was on vacation.
3 weeks later, I asked about it, was told when it arrived they would call me, and they seemed annoyed about me asking.
5 weeks later, I asked about it, was told when it arrived they would call me, they said GW was out of stock and it would be here in 2 weeks
7 weeks later, I didn't ask, and I decided I'm never ordering anything from them again ever.
9 weeks later, I built my own Quad Gun, with no reference, still haven't got phone call about it coming in

well... you solved that issue, way to go!

good looking... now slapp some paint on it that we can see it in its full glory!

same goes for the orkwing and that cool looking ufo... where have i seen that robot inside before

and who is that rocketlobba underneath?

To be honest, I would request a refund at this point.
9 weeks of dicking you about and a craptastic attitude? I wouldn't want them to have my money.

I agree. Luckily they didn't ask for any money down. While I'm annoyed at the situation, it's getting absurd enough that it's starting to be funny.

The UFO needs guns and a pilot. The Ork wing, as well as my other two Dakka Jets, need pilots. Just been procrastinating, while watching WEEDS. Ran out of BREAKING BAD episodes a week back, and been toying with ideas for Zombicide and Dreadball. I have drawn a full scale DreadBall arena and was toying with the idea of carving it, with a hot knife, into to some foam sheet.

the arena/fighting pit competition in scracthbuilding is still on adam... join in on the fun^^
