They have potential, but are no where near good yet.

They still look like plane models with guns stuck on them, out of scale guns even as you haven't made it so that the plane is 40k scale at all.

The battleship? I'd say rip everything off the hull and start from there, and even then it will likely look like a battleship model with stuff stuck to it.'

Projects like this require amazing amounts of work, more so than doing normal conversions, as the base models here need to be converted themselves before any real work begins.

The end result can look amazing, but only if the work is put into it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504187.page GMT Orkish Navy? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504266.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504266.page GMT Orkish Navy?

He took the words right out of my mouth. Cheers J_O.

again i had mentioned before im no where near complete. i started the darker plane not 2 days ago and i will be spending much more time working on them. i see your point as well as your negative tone lol


all things said and done im enjoying doing it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504508.page GMT Orkish Navy? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504511.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504511.page GMT Orkish Navy?
If everyone says everything is great or good, no one ever gets a sense of their skill, they think its great and go about the status quo...

Your work here has the potential to be great, but the work you've shown so far isn't great. Your main enemy here is going to be scale. I still don't see any way that plane could fit an ork in it, let alone carry those huge guns and still fly.

If you don't want comments that aren't praise, wait a little longer in your process before you post pics.

If you want criticism, do like you're doing now, just don't complain when people don't like them as-is.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504572.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/504572.page GMT Orkish Navy?

warhammer is only semi-accurate to scale, i realize you're trying hard to come across as intelligent and playing devil's advocate but when one says something has potential it is implied that it's current state is not terribly great.


no need for 'they look bad' again, i had mentioned i have jst started these but thanks for the warm welcome to this site.


btw, if your eye is so perfect, why dont you stop by the thousands of threads where people are showcasing their garbage paintjobs and drop your 2 cents in their piggy banks.

lol


at any rate, great forum! (not sarcastic)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/505396.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/505396.page GMT Re:Orkish Navy?

second: good work. I love the rough plating the second plane have.

third: easy things you could do:
- Drill the gun barrels.
- Scrape off the imperial logo on the guns.
- Add something that belong to WH40K beside the gun on the first model to avoid the gun-glued-on-toy effect.

That said he put a tremendous amount of time and energy into his work.

If you're put off this easily by 1 or 2 comments you might not want to stick around Dakka.

I want to see you do well on this project, but I was worried you may not know what you're getting yourself into.

My first post had no negative spin, but with your urging, my second post had some.

Take this one as you will, but lighten up a bit it will do you wonders here on dakka.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/505463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226316/505463.page GMT Re:Orkish Navy?
That way you end up with something like Dai Gurren Lagan

i really like the plasti card shapes on the side of the plane (sorry dont know name!!) are you going to rivit them up to look like they are covering battle damage or are they decritive? (the pilot looks cool too!!)

Whats your plan with the ships? are you going to add massive wheels, tracks or have it pulled along by grotz?

look forward to updates

All: All of the models are too clean and too precise. They obviously have not been orkimodified enough yet. When I look at them all I'm really seeing at this stage is the original model with some extra bits tacked on.

Zero: Basically this is far too sleak a model. I would make some efforts to break up the clean lines and contours. Larger engine cowling, thicker tail and wings, Lots more bombs, missiles, fuel tanks, etc under the wings, perhaps even a grot tail gunner or something. Also the canopy is far too clean and precise, maybe open up the top of it or get rid of the center piece altogether.

P-40: Now this is a model that lends itself to the tiger mouth painted on the front. Do so, or the ghosts of the Flying Tigers will curse your dice! Many of the previous comments for the Zero apply to the P-40. I like that you've added additional plates. Maybe try adding a few more smaller wings to break up the very recognizable shape of the original models? Canopy is still painful for me to look at... I think a small ball turret under the rear of the wing where the fuselage arcs up would look kind of cool.

U.S.S. Iowa: This one is the hardest for me to swallow. I suspect this model will turn out to be too long and too thin to look good on the battlefield. Personally I'd like to see this with the stern of the ship as the front with the bow trailing behind. Perhaps two huge wheels on the stern with the bow dragging behind through the ground like a plow. I think the guns and superstructure have to go as they are too small in scale and clearly identify the model. Personally I'd cut the model just behind the aft turret and just behind the 1st forward turret, throw out the middle, and join the two pieces together. This might solve the length issue.

Now, with all that being said... if you play BFG that would be an awesome start to the most amazing space hulk ever! Probably have to be a mega hulk and make custom rules but that would be so awesome... (making mental note...)

And finally the B-17. It's hard to tell but this looks like one of the smaller kits and I just don't know if it will have enough bulk to convey what you'd like it to. I would try to stay true to the B-17 idea, Flying Fortress, which means guns everywhere! Base it off the later models and add turrets everywhere. You might consider adding a B-24 style tail.

Hope that helps and best of luck to you!

Swoop!
