Hi to all, wanted to make a engine for the front but not to much to keep the flow ok, So i used lootas back panels and trimmed them into shape. I also cut the trukk passenger panel in two to get the piece for the front armour plating. The rivets hold true to the look.Hope you like

Hi to all, full picture so far with loosely held gun turret and drivers rack.

Hi to all, wow lot has happen since last update, mostly near crazy thinking can i pull this off, should i do it, should i not and i did love, hate relationship was happening. But very happy with the outcomes but very on edge if i mucked up.

Right Forgeworld replied and their remodelling the cast so a tauros light assault body is on it's way in the post so yay! started work on crew so Yay! and thinkig for a question to be put out for the twin-linked big shoota, three barrels plus searchlight... or four barrels no searchlight... Thinking if their looting they have a searchlight for some strange reason. Photo's up next, hope you like

Hi to all, ok i decided that the Big shootas besides the gun turret will look stupid so i decided to go with regular shootas as they r big to grots and feels better that the main gun stands out.

But the front lights had to go the resin is very thin if the cut doesn't work, it will rip it causing damage i don't want, did make me worry but i thought ratbags and done it!!! besides too small holes it worked well and saved one which i thought i'll add this somewhere and did. You can't see it but there's a wire cable fitted to the back, so it looks like it goes somewhere.

Decided to change the gun turret for more holes to show off more of the crew than anything and it still looks nice. I'll use the other one on another model. I also like
the Comm-Link off a imperial sprue not sure what one but i cut it down(well in half) and one aerial off and fits nicely.

The model is really coming together to the other themes i wanted which is Mad Max Road Warrior and GorkaMorka and Decided it will be Desert but still not decided on Clan Colours. Hope you like

Hi to all, right cut the mags off the shootas and put them on top, didn't like the side look not on this model anyway. the Controls are a Imperial Stubber handles but cut down to fit.

I wanted to add something to the bars so it's not just bare so i found a skull with a loop from the lootas gun and put is adjacent to the side i want the driver to be seen.

I wanted to make my own driving panel with moniter, fuelgauge etc. So i used the Trukks as a template and went from there, using a grot pistol and a random imperial part that looked like a screen with buttons. Worked very well and fitted whiched i din't think of when i started doing it, work out ok. I add extra cables to the back, add more detail. Hope you like

[Richard]

Hi to all, here's some photo's of the engine with the bar's in place and a full 360' degrees look so far. I've added a backpack with bullet ammo and a fuel Kanister to the other side completing the look on the back. Hope you like

Hi to all, ok not finish but i thought i'll show you so far what i've done with the Forgeworld Grot.... cut him to pieces. I had to adjust the right arm for the look, the feet will be add after for detail. You won't see it, but there will be a bit of sprue put on the seat to raise him up.

The control panel fits nicely, i will be cutting the raise arm off as well, and replacing it with the plastic pointing finger arm either pressing a button or the "They're over there" look not sure yet. I'm glad that i've been braving these bits or i wouldn't got it to look like this. If i mucked up alot of money wasted. Hope you like

Hi to all, done a little bit of work tonite mainly on the BIG Gun. Wanted it to stand out so made it a triple barrel weapon, in my eyes a proper ork kustom job.
I cut out the sweet back plate from a loota deffgun with all the vauls and buttons, rivets and placed it on a backed trimmed down looted greyknight weapon. it had mulitple barrels so it grabed my attention straight away.

I place it on top of a Deff Dread Big Shoota with back part trim off as well. I like the Barrel pattern on this gun the same for the third gun. however i really wanted to use another bullet feed dispencer from the lootas so i shorten the feed cable and the result came out nice.

Placing them all together i found that i had alot of spaces to fill. So i trim down parts and add details of cables, a target light, tubes which i belieave made it all come together. Hope you like

[Richard]

Hi to all, i've been working on the grot turret gunner and small details added like the aerial after viewing the gun on top does not allow a wide range of sight so i replace it with a cut down version of the runeherd eletric prod. I also added my Ram! lol

The grot gunner took alot of time to modify, and thankfully was able to keep the ears by cutting around them. Now all i've to do is look for a set of grot arms to make it work. Hope you like

[Richard]

Hi to all, just thought i show you that the guns on. Hope you like

[Richard]

Hi to all, big smiles on my face as i've have finished my first model for the army. The grot crew came together well, just hoping that my GWS has Liquid green stuff in stock, to finish off arm areas.

I like the driver most and gave him a big red button to press to go faster. Hope you like.

[Richard]

Hi to all, 360 degree shot of the model, for painting wise the roll cage, grots and gun turret will be loose but will be glued in place afterwards. Hope you like

[unwanted]

Oh, that's hilariously cool, the Grot on the shoulders of the other one is brilliant. Now, however, you must delight us with paint!

[Richard]

Scary thought my weakness is my painting.
I've decided to go DeathSkulls so the blue will be a dark blue, not midnight but not ultramarines neither. It'll be desert theme show the wheels will get a drybrush afterwards of sand dust over them. There will be lots of chips and rust if i can pull it off, I just have to buy paints.

[Arsenal]

This is completely wonderful. Surprised there aren't more comments. The shape of that Vehicle is amazing, low and menacing yet orky. Love this a lot.

[Mr. Ultra]

I'm completely astonished... to see a thread where the creator writes the vast majority of the 2 pages replies. In Spain we have a proverb about people like you: "Don Juan Palomo, yo me lo guiso, yo me lo como". Cheers.

Hi to all, thanks for the replies Arsenal and Mr Ultra

I think it's a nice comment
I just like modelling and do a bit each night. When i do a bit i like to update, that's all.

Quick update i was going to buy paints and brushes today when I recieved my forgeworld replacement parcel.(For those not up to speed, I originally ordered a TAUROS LIGHT ASSAULT VEHICLE and got the wrong body. I had the Venator body instead so they have happily sent out the proper part).

So once again quick change of plans as i like modelling way more, am going to get started on the next model, now i have a body it will be one of four warbuggies with twin-linked rokkits.

The weaponry will be of smaller size from the Mekboy Junka but am undecided as to having all four with rokkit themed models. I mean can i put a stolen multi-melta on it and say it's a rokkit launcher for stats? Can i put a squig bomb sling shot on it and say it's a rokkit launcher for stats? Can i put a mortar on it and say etc. I'll will update pics as soon as i get the chance

[Mr. Ultra]

The proverb means "you cook it, you eat it" (more or less). BTW, everything is better with squig bombs!

[Richard]

Thanks for clearing that up Mr Ultra. Yeah I'm thinking of trying to do a weapon option aswell, of a turret mounted Squig Shokk Attack Gun for my Grot Mek to ride in as well only reason i have not started is am waiting for the singular ones to be finecast to actually get that in motion and cash lol.
