Thanks guys, and I'll try but between kids work and studying for a degree (not forgetting learning to drive... oooft) I'm really having to try hard to find time for this XD however I have found time to put berets on all of my kommandos now, they're being left to dry before doing all of there shirt sleeves as per the ones earlier in the thread (that makes 15 including a snik konversion with sluggas, stabbas and a couple throwing stick bombs).

well here's how the prototype looks undercoated.



Some of the glue joins look real messy but that's because I ran out of the good glue and ended up having to use the revell brush applicator stuff that is very thick and **** for detailed gluing... lesson 1 learned and a new needle point, thin plastic glue has arrived

And here are the other 5 growing from mere spores... awe ^-^

Looking good Always impressed to see mega-armoured nobz done this way, tried myself once and didn't get very far- it's fiddly work.
Love your boss and the fighta-bomma as well!

[Jurg3n]

Well your orks have come a long way since I played against them. think i need to get to finishing mine.

[Davidian]

not a long way tbh but I'm getting there... slowly...

I've not been that focused on my orks this weekend.

All I've done is based a load of boys in the same fashion as my warboss and nobz.

Built 2 new trukks that arrived on friday - just with big shoota and rein-forced ram.

And finished off modelling my looted wagonz with bitz ready to paint.

Paints have gained another layer of dust

here some pooh photos (I'll update these in a day or two)

[Davidian]

This weekends whole effort has amassed to just this:



Wish I could have found a bit more time for it but I have exams to revise for

[xedric]

Thats just gorgeous! I have to copy you Please take as many photos as you can to clearly show your progress. And so I can copy you. These are great!

you'll be happy to know that I have been taking lots of snaps with the intention of writing a step-by-step article on completion. I'll link to it once that's done.

My exams are over for now so I've been able to steal away some time to get the leg structures [hydraulics a pair of struts and stuff] done and fit the power plants [from the deffkopta] and I've glued a few pivot points on the legs now they're structurally done....

....next; arms!

[xedric]

Just brilliant! Im loving these. I want close ups on the legs. Those details are best.

just for you Xed;

[Davidian]

got the arms attached and should armour built. These are not part of the drabber pattern template and the shoulders on my prototype were an after thought. I wasn't happy with them but I did have a few ideas as to how I could do them so I took the opportunity to make them each a little more individual by doing them all different.



putting the fist-armour atm.

Also, whilst I've been waiting for things to dry, I#ve made a start on my Warkopta;



I've decided against scratching a Valk as the chinork's look has been growing on me. The deffkopta makes perfect sense for the kokpit.... it's almost identical to the FW model afterall.

I've raised the blades profile [to stop any unwarey passengers getting decapitated] extended the blades out to @50mm and extended the skids to makle them appear a little more load bearing.

[Davidian]

And that is one structurally complete MAN, ready for panels, detail and rivets... 3 more to go

[Davidian]

instead of getting all 4 to the same stage I decided to go straight ahead and finish one... glad to know that I could get any one of them done in a few hours...

[emcee temper]

Your plasticard work is truly superb, no other words to describe it! Definately one to watch!

[Davidian]

Thankyou very much mate, glad you like.

Got a new supply of 80/1000 plasticard, so I've knocked the chassis and engine housing up for my chinork. I used the trukk bitz to get an equal angles on the wings and started wanging on spare gubinz.. that's all for tonight. Off to watch a film

[Davidian]

she's got some big bomms and rattler cannons now, good an' shooty That 4-15 twin-linked small arms fire a turn plus 2 bomms [probably won't use the bomms often though].

[le Mediko]

Very nice conversion work so far!

[shanks]

yuor orkiness conversions are great and a true inspiration as are many others on here, i'm off to buy a load of plasticard and rods beats paying the GW prices! look forward to more, subscribed
