I added a rocket launcher to the hull (still in a WIP phase). When I finish, I will start with the build of rocket.
Launcher built of GPU's fan and HIPS.

Few new details.
There's never enough skulls I made another one - for rocket launcher.
I've start also building of new flakk. I was not completely satisfied with the previous one. New one will be will be inspired by the Kromlech model. On the picture is a ammo box (with small skull, because... there's never enough skulls ). I'm particularly pleased with the padlock.

Little upgrade

In the meantime I make the hull sheating. This is the most arduous and boring part of work. But necessary: details makes the final effect. I did not like cardboard sheating, which I did before. So I covered it one more, with HIPS.

And for dessert: next step with rocket launcher.

This is almost too good

Hi!
Ramp for landing troops, made from part of toner cartridge. And ladder: leavings from 1:35 scale military models (steps made from cuted tank track links).

I've been enjoying watching your build. Looking good.

When i saw the title i was like "ooh, Battlefleet Gothic." Madness.

Awesome work so far!!

This is the best type of Orky madness!

Following for more.

Yes. I know that is misleading But in 40k there is no equivalent of this size ship.

And here is new stuff: battering ram.

Look at the progress made so far.

Stern cannon turret (or stern cannon shed ).
Made among others from HIPS, pen, syringe, bottle cap and toner cartridge cogs. Barrel from Tamiya WWII set.

The whole build is awesome- fantastic imagination! The stern turret/shed/hut is terrific- love the use of 'found' materials to scratchbuild it!

Wow that is a total awesome build, I can't believe I missed this project!
Hey whats that black panel your using?

Thanks for feedback

Flat surfaces are made from High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS). I use sheets of varying thickness and colors. Black is basic, because I have a lot of it. I got a huge sheet from a friend who makes advertising banners out of it. Main advantage of this material is that it can be glued with ordinary modeling glue.

Thanks for the info, I got to say it looks amazing, I've tried three times to make a big ship every time I've abandoned the build.

The battleship is coming along nicely!

The big ol atom bomb sitting on the desk, where's that from?

Fantastic work!

It's a wooden Easter egg.

I built rokkit for my launcha. Only the top because the rest will be invisible. And I finish work on torpedo, adding bolts and a handle.

Oh man, that rokkit is great! But between it and the torpedo, I have to think those orks are compensating for something!

Clever. Looks the part, that's for sure.

Those wire on the torpedo, are they just for show or will the be lights/sounds?

Just for show. I have no idea about electricity. When I change batteries in a flashlight, I call the service And seriously speaking: nothing better pretends to be a cable than a real cable

Looking good!

Seriously incredible build! I just love how much detail you have managed to squeeze into every corner, one of the best Orky builds I have ever seen

It's nice to read such comments Thanks.

My ship was unstable, so I added stabilizer with vertical start propellers (HIPS, part of toner cartridge and GPU fans).
It will be painted separately, and glued then, so I painted this part with primer. This model is too big to paint all the elements joined together.
By the way I painted the side zzap gun.

This is just brilliant.

Now, if enough of us believe it, IT WILL FLY!

It was already flying. Mainly sideways and down. That's why I had to add a stabilizer

I had some free time and here are the effects: medium rokkit launcha. Built of polystyrene, toothpicks box, coffee stick and some wires. Rokkits made from milliput.

That rocket launcher is ace. It's the small details like the wires make it authentic.

I think the only thing it lacks are exhaust ports. But then again.... It is an Ork rocket launcher, so.....

Oops... My mistake. The recoil will be larger or a few gretchins will die

If we're talking about gretchins: the first crewman is on board. I had to paint it now, because its cabin will be closed and will be an integral part of the hull. Windows will be transparent, so I used clear styrene and masked with Tamiya tape before painting. If something goes wrong I will paint windows too.
