Basically done, I have a few details to finish. Tell me what you think. Does it need anything? I wanted it to look like a robotic ork so it's meant to mirror the proportions of an ork. Would it look strange if I put a magazine for the ammo under the deffstorm mega-shoota?

Ammo drum would not look out of place, but what about a waist mounted bucket with a feed to the gun.

Looks amazing bud, really proper orky, totally excellent work.

Good idea I think I know what I want, now I need cheap ideas for an ammo belt like this.


I may do something like this.

Just a quick size comparison of a real gorkanaut if you wanted to know scale.

Not half bad . The belly area seems a tad too elongated right now, wil it have almour plates or something added? Oh, and that ammo belt thingy would look amazing!

I was thinking the same thing, armor plates isn't a bad idea.

I think I'm done, finished the head, added a scorcha, added more bolts.




Pulled my wagon back out to work on it, trying to finish it, I plan on adding more small details. Do you think it needs anything?

Love the ammo belt, really great looking and fits perfectly. Looking forward to seeing him get some paint.

The truck is looking brilliant. Maybe a little armour plating to protect the boys on the mid section of the top deck. Not to much to keep it in with the rest of the truck. Just looks a little clean up there at the mo. Other than that it looks brilliant.
If I could maybe add one detail it would be a few dinks in the plating, they all look fairly clean cut at the mo, and that is ok, and certainly I would not go overboard with it, but a quick 5 minutes running over the whole thing with a file would just take it up another notch.

I am hoping to get some painting done over Christmas break. My old airbrush was crap if you look at the tank I painted it had splatter everywhere. I just got a new one, hopeful it's good.

It was meant to be open topped so I don't want too much protecting them. You're right, I always do my dinks last after I'm done gluing.

That's some really good orkish engineering here ! the truck looks really nice !

In case you hadn't noticed or read my comments I am drawing inspiration from these.

Well I think I'm done.




Now for my next ambitious project, take a guess what it will be.

My next clue.

Sweet, I've got one of these on my bench too just begging to be orkified! Very interested to see what you do with yours...

Awesome kit, looking very promising from the get go.

Your truck is brilliant, and spot on to your original idea. Great work.

This should be a big hint.

If you haven't guessed already this should be a dead giveaway.

It's a blimp?

Merry Christmas bud.

Very close to being done, just need a rokkit kannon and detail work.

Besides a little green stuff around the hood scoop and the grot arms I'm done.

Very nice.
