But EagleArk said I could better start a blog here . So I will post the following efforts on my Waagh here from now on. I participate in the buildsomethingcontest over on
Lead Adventure Forum and what better then building something for my growing waagh. I will build a Ork Rock band stage bolted to a looted Leman Russ tank. Except the band members everything will be scratch build. Here are the pictures of the build:

The tank will be a scratch build version to the so called Ruhr pattern. A pattern of Leman Russ as build on the forge world Ruhr in the Germania sector.



The material I use is extruded polystyrene. I love this stuff as it is so versatile.

The rough detailing





The tank will be without turret as it will be used as a rolling stage for a Ork Rock band. So instead of the turret there will be a stage complete with speakers etc.
I added some more detail to the tank . Next step will be adding the tracks and the track guards.





I started to put rivets and other small detail onto the Leman Russ







I finished the Leman Russ tank by detailing the tracks



and adding the last rivets and other detail to the sides





This finishes the build of the tank. Now i will start to build the stage for the band. I started with building the supporting iron beams:



These were build from 3mm thin polystyrene parts glued to form a I beam. I cut the strips with a special gadget for my polystyrenecutter :



More to come. what I still have to do is the stage the sound system, the drum set and some ork decorations like a board displaying the name of the band.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750420/9825616.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750420/9825616.page GMT

The mast will carry the sound system eventually, or at least part of it. as you can see there are 4 spaces for the members of the Band left free. Here are pictures of a test fit of the original miniatures the singer ( Eardrumsplitta) , guitarist and the Bass man. The drummer has to be done from scratch.





Here is a picture of the beginning of the drummer:



And the beginning of the sound system:



Here are pictures of the more or less finished drum set:





And of the fitted sound system:

Here are pictures of the changes and additions I did:











I will post pictures of the base coated model in a few days. Then there will be a hiatus as we are not supposed to show pictures of the painted models before the contest is finished.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750420/9833265.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/750420/9833265.page GMT




As you can see, after base coating the contraption , you can’t tell that it is made from polystyrene.
The only telltale is the wight when you lift it. So from now on no more pictures as long as I am not dropped out of the build something contest.
I will take pictures of the painting process but will post them after the contest ended.
