I would have done the had more 3-dimensional. The rest loks quite okay, most notably is the drill, I like it.
Are there gonna be any feet? The big cannon barrel looks a bit too big in my eyes.

"Hey girls, look at my machinery!"

Nice job despite (or. . . because of?) the disturbing cannon. Can I assume there will be rivets?

I'm just trying to figure out what the pieces of GW sprue glued to the back are suppose to be?

Feet and a bunch of rivits would be nice and orky.

I second the disturbinosity of the phallic cannon... but man, if you gotta go, you gotta go (and take out a platoon of IG when you do!)

Beef, one thing I'd make sure to do is get rid of the (C) GW 1999 sprue pieces. That or whittle them down so they're not ~immediately~ recognizable. Same goes for the bit on the left shoulder, etc.

I'd love to see a shot of it's back... that should give a better view of the stomping mechanism.

I'm also really curious to see what you used as the base chassis... it looks... kinda like a giant engine. Did you take pics during the construction process? Because I'd love to see what it looked like before you threw on the skirt

those sprue things will be covered up and will be the basis for the banners. 1 in the middle and 1 on each side.and i wont add feet for now as its got wheels. Rivets will porobably be added. this was just a quickie as i had the base model lying around. It was some cheep robot toy on unicyyle thing. as for the cannon its a fuel tank from a 1/32 scale model. i had 2 battle cannons from leman russ's lying around but did not want to waste them on this simple project, they will be saved for a special tank

Heheh, cool in a crude, orkish way. You are going to have fun with that!

The big "gun" is classic.

Beef, you're getting awfully close to learning how to post pictures (shame its going to change in a month or so!).
I fixed your pictures so they are now displayed vertically.


When you insert a picture you have to hit the 'return' (or 'enter') key on your keyboard before you insert your next picture.
If you don't all your pictures end up in a horizontal line like this (with 'X' being a picture):


XXX


If you hit 'return' (or 'enter') on your keyboard after inserting each picture your pictures will then be inserted like this instead:

YAK you cant do that to me just when i have nearly mastered the way to post pics you are going to change it? Damn what will i do?

 

@ Heavygear did you make yours or is that a armorcast?

The gargant in the picture is not mine. It is up for sale on ebay and it is the original armorcast or epicast model. The owner says it is 31 inches tall. Massive even by titan standards.

That thing is rockin! I like it a lot, once you get some paint on it you will be looking good.

Can't quite see the scale on this, but that cannon looks like the card tube from a roll of toilet paper, - stuck in a slightly inappropriate place !

Here the model with a 13th comapany biker for scale.  I have given it a thinned wash of black to dirty it up a bit.  got to start working on some banners.

 

It looks like a Knight being dirty with a Vindicator.

Can't say I'm all that hot for the palette you've chosen for him.  Too much cool coloring for me.  This might be from years of looking at most Orkish vehicles in a red and or yellow color scheme.

I think rivets could have gone a long way for those 'slap on' metal plates. 

Definitely not sold on the sprue banner poles, seems like a hell of a time saver though.

As for the metals, I'd love to see some rust work done there.  It could really add that extra bit of detail that you start to lose on models when they get large enough.

i dont understand what you meen by cool coloring>>  rust will be done next, this is the last dirtying layer, then rust, maybe highlights and the banners

"Cool" colors refers to the blue/green side of the color spectrum as opposed to the "warm" side, the red/yellow.

Not bad, but I think that the belly gun is a weak point.  The bore is so large and the walls so thin that it looks rather silly IMO.  You could try to fit another pipe inside it to beef it up a bit.

I agree the belly gun could do with a smaller barrel inserted into the larger one. Also rivets would have helped to make the model really nice. I like the green colour as it makes it look like a giant Ork.
