Edit for the 10th page, well done sir!

Well Thank you all, sorry for slow pick up here.

1st .....................WOOT page 10.

2nd......Vik has been in touch and I am now very proud to fly the League Banner. I hope only to live up to your standards gentlemen.

3rd....."Uwee" Pictures..... this lot speak for them selves, here is where I am as of this moment.

She is still very WIP, got to add guns and grot crew, got a lot of finishing to do on the paintwork. Please leave your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you all so much for looking.

i am eager to see that currently shiney heli going down the weather channel (no point in pointing out anything to change... as there is none...)

and welcome back mister!

Congratulations on all fronts.

Good work on the detailing. looking more Orky by the minute.

How do you do your battle damage to the "metal" plates, the deep gouges?

I work away with a file. Sometimes a needle file, but I have a 3 sided file that was once used to sharpen saw blades. You never use them these days, all modern saws, you do not sharpen. It's a little coarser than needle files.

ah... a three sided file... i have that too... i used yesterday a metal drill bit and just bumped and bumped on the surface with the middle part of the drill... it brought quite a nice random scratching design... and that fairly easy and quick...

Simple but effective. Cool.

simple is my middle name...er...no... i tell a lie... it is cheap... i think me mum used to call me simple...

I think one led to the other... Can't go wrong with a little Blackadder though.
Should probably stop derailing Cam's thread...

We return you to your normally scheduled programme.

No problem with derailing, especially for Blackadder.

well then. I will join the party.

Ok update: Warkopta.

So needed to add the gunners, Still very WIP, but decided I needed nice big guns. Found a couple heavy bolters, I acquired in some batch lot from somewhere. Scrapped some of the paint off.



Only trouble is barrels not long enough.....



That's better, now a mount that looks like it pivots.....



And heavy pivoting arms to allow articulation.



Need two of them plus gunners.



Lets dry run in position then.







Thanks for looking and please leave a comment or thoughts.

Dat choppa iz lookin mitey killy. I dig the gunners especially... and by Morks name, did you paint all that checker by hand?

Man this blog has come a long way. Very impressive for sure. Also I don't know if I've ever seen someone use a landspeeder quite like that before, I'll have to add it to my memory banks, as I have one storm I wanted to convert into a bomma. That just might be the ticket.

the way you rebuilt that dakka it looks as if those bolters where meant to be used in that way!!!... amazing work!

the bigger barrels make this weapon look way more business like than the original... very well done...and you again made an awesome tut for this...one i intend to follow in the fullness of time!

You've really been busy since i last checked! i love the look of the uwee! and the painting is awesome! love the checkers on the tail-section.

and those dakkas are incredibly cool! nice tut on how you made them too btw.

keep it coming!



and byw! gratz on the 10th page too

It's just pure EPIC Cam! really!

Nice work!

Good work. The guns look perfect for the job.

Thank you gentles one and all. I am flattered and honoured by your comments.

Update: Well will drop these pictures here. You have:

The tail rotor on, not quite finished painting it but nearly.

Close up of the foot operated shoota for the co-pilot. (got some gap filling to do here I think.!!) Brings new meaning to "Put your foot down".

And started painting the guns, trying for red hot barrels here. Need your thoughts on it.

Da Dakka, dat iz AWSUM !! Yooz iz grate Mekboy

what i really have to learn is to add details like you do... the tail of your uwee looks amazingly detailed...

and i never would have thought that fighters would use the feet to let the rockets loose...

and lastly... will those barrels stay as yellow? or for that matter why did you start with yellow anyway?

@ Ruglud. Thank you.

@ Vik. Hoping to make it look like they are glowing red hot. So started with yellow and will ink it redder and redder I hope. May yet just paint them metallic. Will wait and see.

Nice progress Cam.

If you're looking for inspiration for glowing gun barrels have a look at NerdFest's Bruce-driven gatling tank, he did glowing barrels on that.

Hoping to make it look like they are glowing red hot

ah.... understood...

if your first try fails...

Ok Update:

Thanks for responses. Always great to hear something.

So still got a few touches to do here and there. LOL.

Lots to do yet, but here is "Uwee". Now with a flightstand. And also orkified the rotors.

Awesome, love it, Cam!
