OH-I Wanna get out of here

Suddenly, orks! Your textural painting styles work well with them, planes look great. I feel like the ork skin parts could use a bit more work tbh. Mostly because we expect perfection from you

Well, hence the inorganic nature of the Killer Kans

I can't finish Gandalf at present, because the skin and robes just aren't working for me right now.

The Dakkajets were built and painted a couple years ago. I've improved a bit since then.

Tell Eggroll to PM me if he's interested.

These are some great kits, but strangely, there are only enough shoulder-socket-covering bitz for one? I had to make some, no big deal.

Orks should always be random!

Nope, I triple checked the sprues! There are shoulder pads for 3, but only enough socket covers for one kan.

I can't get over the fact how long ago those dakka jets had been all the hype here...man...now o feel old ...again...

The kans are a truly nice set. I had quite often oggled over the arms and legs to make my own scratch builds easier...

Finally, great to see. And orks save the day yet again!!

Brilliant work, never had a jet, made a scratch flyer years ago, those look great.

I think the kans kit is great, love the models, but also just as a bag of bits it's brilliant for bashers and scratchers.

Either would work


@Vik- I was thinking the opposite. I was thinking how easy it would be to scratchbuild different arms for the kit ala some of Gitz fantastic Mekwork he's done.
