Looks good. I'm just making suggestions remember, I'm not sure I'd make anywhere near as nice a job as that of I tried

Oh wow that is sexy. Is the T-Rex the Gargantuan one?

Thanks Matthew!

Yes, the dimensions are very close to the Gargantuan Squiggoth.
I've made a comparison on the second page of this thread if you're interested.

Any comment/suggestion is always welcome!
That's why I created that thread too

Morkanaut

Update on the painting of my converted Morkanaut.
Most basecoat done, most shading done, some highlight done.
Details/weathering mostly not done.






Hopefully I'll have some time over the week-end to finish the shading and most highlights.

I'll have to think about painting the inside of the belly, and then I'll finish with some weathering/decal/details.

Please feel free to comment!

Beautiful! He looks a bit like Optimus Prime!

Dude! This whole project is huge! It makes me feel like... damn it, get your ass up and build something orky - NOW!!!

Danke schöne KustomerD!
I realized it does not take much to build orky stuff: some platsic, bits from all over the place, and some crazy ideas (though I did not do anything too original so far).
My goal is to finish the Morkanaut this month, finish the building of the Gorkanaut and the Stompa, and finally make a decision for the gargantuan squiggoth.
Yeah, lots of giants to work on

Kustomer, you should totally do something Orky. After all, it's nflagey's fault I started Orks!
Damn you...

Really??

Orks, I think, are fun to paint and play as you can basically use whatever model (GW or not) and convert it in something Orky, and making your army unique.
I'm no expert in 40k or Orks, but that's how I feel about them

Oh, I dont want to start a discussion, if I should start something orky - I DO plan something in the future. Not quite as big as these cool things, but something fast - and orky.
I allready did some scratchbuilding (Trukk) and converting (Deffkopta to quads/ATV) but nothing quite as big as the awesome stuff nflagey showes us here.

And danke for your German - I'm always surprised to read something in German here

Keep up orking guys!

I really like your tracked morkanaut. It's coming along nicely.

sorry

Well, I live in the US but I'm from France, near Strasbourg, so I've studied German for many years

@Matthew : You should not try that if you ever try to talk to a German

But my Swedish ends with tak. I had some Danish at school, but that doesn't help anyways.

@nflagey : that's cool! It's a small world! ! ! !

I know just enough German to find the bathroom at a beer hall. How much more do you need?

Absolutely nothing!!!

Ork

Gargantuan Squiggoth

Update on the Gargantuan Squiggoth: I kind of like the crest design for the armor on the face so I decided to move forward with it. Here are a few pictures with most armor panels on the beast, including some on the legs (though without any rivets or other details so far)





What do you guys think?

Nicolas

Nice...

Thanks Anpu-adom!

You came up with a nice solution to the Sad-Rex problem. Was this your inspiration?

Ah! This is awesome!

But no, I did not get my inspiration from this

Ork

Morkanaut

Update on the painting of my converted Morkanaut.

All basecoat done, all shading done, most highlight done.
Details/weathering partly done.

Here are a couple of pictures of the head first:




Then a couple of views of the mega-blasta:




And one of the claw to finish:



As always, comments are welcome!

EDIT:

Here is a picture of the kustom field, last thing I did tonight:



C&C please?

I likey! Your green bitz and that cool dark orb look great!

Ork

Morkanaut

More things done on the Morkanaut!
I'm basically all done except for weathering & battle damage.















What do you think?

Any advice for weathering?

Sorry, I just had to. This is looking awesome.

Hey, I'm looking for some advice on how to paint my squiggoth for the Dakka P&M challenge.

Shall I go for different shades of green like the FW squiggoth?
Shall I go red like squiggs?
Or shall I go for more exotic colors?

I've got the same dilemma for mine! Try looking up pictures of dinosaurs, that might give some inspiration.

Well, dinosaurs are usually in grey-ish, brown-ish tones, which may not be super exciting to look at ... though it may be more realistic.

I was also wondering whether there were references about squiggoth colors?
