Cheers.
Apparently buying the right scale and right model of car is a challenge. A bit stuck right now as I'm waiting for a mass of wheels and plasticard to arrive. However more work in progress stuff. I'll probably do more dark elder stuff for a few days

Do you think you could model one grot sitting on the shoulders of another to reach the steering wheel? I think I may be easier to fit them in than an ork driver, but I don't know for sure.

ha! great idea, and one that I feared I'd want to do when watching Fury Road the other day.
Tell me you've got a Goff Rocker to stick on the front of an amplifier laden Battlewagon?!

Great start and some clever converting, what scale cars you using for this then 1/43 or 1/32 ?

I need to get a Goff rocker!
It's taken ages to cruise eBay to find them. They are between 1/32 and1/35. I got one 1/43 but it was way too small.

Looking nice! Have you considered adding rust last with weathering powders?

I gave powders a go but always found them a pain to work with. The new stuff gw released is pretty good, that's what is on the painted buggies

Nice work loving the bike conversions especially the one using Lego wheels at the back, I imagine bending the plastic tube was a pain mind.
The cars have come together got that racer rod vibe to them, love the shooters on the side of the cab that’s very orkish
Hey what happens to the 1/43 car you got and didn’t use ? Was it a plastic kit ?

So the 1/43 car and a couple of other that were too small, the hit and miss of eBay buying, are diecast. However they are still cool so I'm currently pondering an idea of a bunch of grots driving it to be another buggy.
Bending the tubing isn't too bad, sharp bends I do using a candle and more curved ones hot water. Bend until happy then plunge in cold water. Took me a while, a few attempts and some burns before I got it somewhat how I wanted mind.

Love the work so far. Orks fall into the MadMax universe so well. Great conversions. It’s gonna be a great looking army on the table. But if your like me my orks get more shelf time than table time.

Cheers. I'm hoping to keep on this project for a while. One more is done.
One thing that's frustrating me at the moment is doing heat scarring on the gun barrels and exhausts. It's a mix of yellow purple and blue washes however I'm struggling to get it how I want so it's still trial and error.
And damn getting the drivers in place is to fiddlely

Starting on the next one. Basic bodywork painted before weathering.
After weathering. All the needs doing for the bodywork is fresh paint chips.

This is quickly turning into one of my favourite threads for ork verhicles . Excellent on the weathering, it really brings the model to life.
