Just... beautiful.

I'm going to follow this project eagerly.

I think those carts need a quick respray - everyone knows red ones work faster!

Is the surface of the metal starting to discolour, or is it just my eyes?

Nothing says melta-gun damage like holes cut with a plasma-cutter.

Yes! The surface is heavily discolored by now, it's rusting quite a bit. I'm using as much raw metal as I can (so it rusts easily) and I live in louisiana. The humidity alone rusts it, not to mention I leave it in my truck and in the backyard a lot.

I LOVE our new plasma cutter! The old one at the shop was decent, but we got a new one and it is silky-smooth.

Anywho, I have an UPDATE!

I started the plates for the front of the Landa.



After I got the base plates on, I welded lines to it.





Next, I ground it all down to make it pretty. The pictures are hard to make out, the metal gets super shiny when it gets ground.



Lastly, here's a few wide shots.

I'm usually a bit cynical about "Ork tec" but this... this is epic...

Easily one of the best projects on dakka hands down!
Unreal work man!

I am not an Ork fan generally but this is a masterpiece... and I agree with another comment on here, I think you are a mad man! lol! All I can say is you better have a pretty dam solid table to take the weight of that beast when it lands.

Amazing stuff, can't wait to see some paint on it.

Youzs be da best mek eva!

I have some huge updates coming! I was able to put about fifteen hours into it this week, so this will be the first of three updates.

First up, I added the bottom plates to the wings.



Once it was on, I warped the plates a little and took off some stickers with a propane torch.



once done with that, I started working on engine gubbins and piping it all to the engine room.













Once I was done having fun with engines, I switched gears and started playing dentist. First I added upper teeth.



While I had the jaw open, I added a hook to the jawplate. The magnets were not gonna cut it for the long run, so I fixed it.



Thats it for now, I should have the second part typed up sometime tomorrow.

You Sir are certifiable! A crazy orky genius but certifiable nonetheless.

There ... I .... But .... I am totally at a lose of words because of the sheer awesomeness and orkiness of your creation!
NO army can stand against should a brute and Orks by the billions will flock to your side.

Cant wait to see some battlements and DAKKA on that thing

Definitely needs more dakka, no Ork vehicle is complete without it!

Also, nice Soundwave pic AL-PlX!

All will flock to my banner, and with a mighty roar the might of the imperium will fall.

One order of Dakka, coming up!

First up, I built the flight deck.



Next, I added some nose guns.



After that I added about a third of the turrets.





Next up, a door.



Next up, internal engine stuff.



Thats it for this week! getting close to the end of the build. I'm really excited about rusting and painting.

Now THAT'S got a lot of dakka! As usual, it needs more because you can never have enough, but right now that's enough! What are you gonna do about that rust though?

It will have more. Only about half the turrets are on, and it still needs pulsa-rokkit tubes. On the note of rust, I'm not sure what you mean. most of the rust has been added by me, I only plan on using as little paint as possible.

Oh wow, so it's intentional? I thought that was just from it being exposed to the elements! In that case, forget what I said about rust.

This is absolutely incredible. Where can I see your other stuff that someone mentioned earlier?

Built in true orky style. Great work!

This is a fantastic project! The amount of detail you have managed to get is quite stunning and all the rust that you added just makes it look incredibly orky. Subbed and eager for more!

Easily the coolest thing I've seen on Dakka! As everyones said, incredible cool and orky

I can't find links to anything else of note. I usually only post the big and weird stuff, so regular troops and what-nots I don't really have pictures of. I also paired down my collection four years ago, I only have Orks for 40K and Skaven for fantasy. Naturally, I have an embarrassingly large army for each of them, both painted and un-painted.

After that awesome trip down memory lane, I have an update.

First up, I started chemical rust experiments in ernest. The colors are not what the final look will be, I'm just experimenting with what kind of a palette I can expect.



Next, I experimented with the Pulsa-Rokkit rack. It will be very time-intensive, but I really want to have fun with the battery of Rokkits. There will be eight total.



Lastly, I added Dakka. a TON of Dakka. about four pounds of Dakka. There are now over twenty turrets.

That looks like almost just enough Kill.


May be a bit under-Kill.

Erh. Mah. Gerd.

Dakka, measured in pounds. That's just delightful.

Needs a couple more pounds of dakka. Just kidding, that this is fething amazing still!

That rust is brilliant! Guns are fab as well!

Thanks everyone!

I have another update, I'm almost done with the building part.

To start with, I added more details to the wings.







After that I added detail to the jaw.



Next, I built a secondary engine compartment.



After that I added details to the observation deck.



Finally, I Fixed most of the turrets. No pictures, I just had to re-weld them.

I'm still hoping to have it fully built by the end of the month, smile for the camera!

It just keeps getting better and better!

I have been planning to become a welder recently, and if it wasn't set in stone before, it certainly is now! I don't quite know what else to say, other than.......Paint it red!

I'm beginning to think you actually are an Ork. Or severely tainted at least.

Haha this had me giggling like a school girl with the sheer craziness of the idea! Love it.

Pounds of Dakka...... A new standard has been set sir.
