Ork Battle Fortress/ Killakopta Carrier

[Pitban]

Hi all,
my other project im working on
this thing is huge .. i mean.... really - but see yourself



that was the start. i got some plastic sheet with comercial advertising ( hu.. ah... im german please be patient with me)
but the main problem is tht you can glue it only with super glue.
meanwhile i only use polysterol and the glue for this.

i was a bit too fast with some parts and must cut that off while the whole building process




the plastic sheets there are just fixed with tape
i tought it would be a good idea to have different front "weapons"






i made some great steps foreward
got the turrett build and made a grot rocket and a flakk cannon for the landing platform, also i build the tower
ah, the elevator - the elevator for the killakopta to the hangar

next time i can show you much more - just 10 pics per post allowed . ..
think you have enough to look at

This looks fabulous so far. Keep it coming!

[Tinners]

Amazing. I did something like this once but never finished it, keep up the good work!

The fuel pipe on the grot rocket. How do you bend that??

hi,

Thanks for the comments

i have done some work on the kopter hangar and the "plating" of the hull with polysterol, because the material i used in beginning for the hull, can be glued with super glue only.
and that would be hard to glue all the rivets.

thanks - i´m working on. . ..
bendind that pipe was a process of trial and error - many trials and many errors . . expensive errors. . ...
dont know how i got that idea - but i was nerved to try it with fire, hot water, special hot air thingy we use as opticians, patience, virtue of my thoughts.... nothing works ..
just put a wire in the tube and bend carefully - thats it !!

Must see this come to fruition. Awesome start, and you have some good Plasticard Fu.

[xedric]

Thanks a lot for the explanation of your plasticard pipe bending technique! Will try that tonight. Many thanks!

[Deamon-forge]

damn sweet builds here. love the AA gun.

with the "the elevator for the killakopta to the hangar" do it move up and down?

[Pitban]

silly doubble post . ..

hey folks thanks to all,

--> deamon-forge
no the elevator cant move - i thought about it ( and it would work ) but thats quite too much - im crazy but not insane

here some pics of actual progress
thats the upper "gangway"



the left side is nearly done - only the rivets and some plates are missing
thats the lower gangway at the right side you can see the storm ramp ( ?)






the big turret with magnetized weapons

The Big Turret looks great, and the gangway is sharp as well. Looks like a cruise ship or something.

[Maus]

You are building this thing at a ridiculous pace! It takes me weeks to do anything with plasticard.

Edit: And how the hell are you doing all the rivets without going insane?

[Darnok]

Awesome work so far. All those rivets would kill me.

[Pitban]

hi all,

thanks

while cutting rivets i hear amon amarth ... that calms me . .. really !
think i´m insane . ...
i count the rivets of the turret 519 ....ok ok i´m insane . . . .

here some pics of the actual progress
the complete fortress







the kopta hangar and the big backdoor
inside the hangar you can see the 2 doors to the upper turrets










thats it for today

I'm jealous!

Better buy lodes of Deffkoptas before the new starter set comes out!

[Student]

Truely awesome work.

[NephilimX]

People who are able to do something like this make me sooooo jelly. It's just astounding the detail that's going to go in to something so big. This will be absolutely incredible when finished.

[twistedmarine]

This looks amazing. If I may ask how do you make the rivets?

[Hokiecow]

Wow, great job!
