you find green skin is cheerful to paint.

besides... it would open up a whole new brach of things i wanted to do for a millenia already... i wanted to do killa kans and grot tanks and...........................

i now need to find out how to "green" that flyer of mine then... well maybe you fellas can help me out when i update

Ready to serve sir, I think You can find a lot of Greenskin mekky experts around ^^

yes... that is true^^

I vote for IG, no bias there, nope, no no no no no

Vik, we've always known you were an Ork Mekanik at heart!

well bob...I usually do IG but I wanted to do some more hilarious stuff... with guard you always have to be so sober...

er... on that note...

update? ok^^


this is a supposedly grot fighter...made from a deo roll on and a "bit" of plasticcard...

first question to our mekks... this way up...




or this way? as I can still turn the tail as I like...




tail


business end...


and of course more dakka is planned too... bombs and rockets

That looks brilliant, Vik! I love the the shapes and the flow of the whole thing. I'm not sure if it would be possible bit have you considered cutting the cockpit out and making it gyroscopic? Looking at it I get the impression that it could fly upside down, on it's side and in spirals. It'd be awesome if the pilot looked like he would always be the right way up, it wouldn't have to work jut look the part.

Guns up the way. Fins up.

Ditto and ditto. Although being a grot it should always be upside down, just because!

well... you all need to go to my thread as I already did some decisions!

it IS a grot fighter... and it already has quite some orky features... and it is upside up...

but I think you´ll love it nevertheless^^

also... casey ... you have a very good point there... I am still thinking about if I am able to do just that... it would make the whole thing look so much better...!

I'll check your blog out asap mate, it's on my list but it's scary big!

That looks very interesting there Vic, I think the gyro scope idea would be brilliant if you can pull off.

My bike's are almost all painted up, just for to base them and add the finishing touches (waiting on the mail for them to get here) then should be finished , maybe next week ??? mail's slow here

Here is my entry, all finished. I decided not to cut off the landing gear. I used some Ravenwing stuff to give the impression of movement. Also used some grayish weathering powder to simulate the soot and grim that would accumulate if the aircraft had descended from orbit and was flying through smoke and all that.

"cant wait to see it finished!" just kidding! That is stunning and amazing!

Awesome job!

That's really nice, clever positioning of deals and scrolls for effect. Like the weathering for speed, I had a similar thought (which I may now have to shelve! )

Why are you in Spain now? I thought you lived in America?

^Mate, I am an exiled Englishman in Glasgow. I am, however, on me holidays : thumbsup:

ooohhh some nice stuff popping up

Viktor@ thought your entry looked more Tau than Ork then I had a look on your blog at the extra detail and.... wow well impressed.

40kFSU@ great entry as always the purity seals are a nice touch.

well i didn´t get the gyro scope idea like you suggested Denua...but i think the new improved cockpit sure has its merrits



for more pics and some more ramblings... go to my thread

Automatically Appended Next Post:
at losterikson... it started as a wee deo roll on... the future was bright and it could have ended as a happy tau fighter too... but alas... clouds have risen over the horizon and now it became a grot fighter plane

er... no one else is doing any work it seems???^^

well then...
upsy daisy!!! update time...


well today i´ve worked on the underside of the plane... i took your comments to heart and searched for more exhausts...also... i made some rocket launchers of different sizes... they still look imperial... tho i am fine with that... i think i have to inch into the grot theme one mm a time^^
also...i took the ...drive me closer theme to a new level... but see for yourself...

underside...



and rocket launchers... two of three different sizes...


i realize those pics are rather crappy^^

"drive me closer to your doom!"



cheers, vik

Excellent work Vik awesome..more like shoot me closer...

Nice Vik, cant go wrong with a scratch built Ork plane. Grot looks like he is having a good time!

lol... yeah shoot me closer is er... closer to the truth probably^^

and 40ksu...i imagine him to do wheeeeeee noises all the time^^... when he is mounted upside down..then especially!

Yes well my project has ground to a halt while I await some red spray paint . I Thought I had some in the man cave....turned out I didn't. "Never mind" I thought "I'll just pop down the local hobby store". Well the hobby shop had every colour spray but red ...so now I'm waiting on the postman.

hardware store maybe? or is that too thick a primer for modeling purposes?
