Auto Shop

did a bit more work on the Trukk. cut the front seat so it looks more to scale. widened the viewing port in the windshield. built "fins" on the front fenders. built the bases of the rear tracks.

Done!

The Russ is done with Kommander Kraknek at the helm.

Amy was out of town for a couple days and I couldn’t snap some pix of it:

Also, the truck has had some work on it as well, as I’ve stated it’s now one piece, if I bust ass I can have it at gaming level by Opening night @ the Elk’s Lodge.

Shortening the list

Been a busy week for work and play, but shortening the list of sh*t to do on my Orks:

still need to do:

• dullcote the Russ
  
• fill gaps on new nob done
  
• paint new nob
  
• model drivers/gunners for buggies/trukk 80% modelled trukk driver with gunner coming soon
  
• model one of my shoota boyz into a burna boy done
  
• paint burna boy

Amy has the digital camera, so pictures should be up this weekend or sometime next week.

the trukk/car is coming along slowly. still no wheels/tracks, needs more armour plating in the front/back/side and driver/gunner. thinking of either an armour plated grille or a set of push bars.

need to figure out how to get the tracks and front tires to look "worky"

Busy Night!

gah! the internet ate my first post of this.

was super busy last night modelling.

• modelled my Russ commander
  
• painted the commander
  
• attached him to the tank
  
• touched up scrapes on hatch on Russ
  
• modelled power klaw on nob
  
• attached power klaw to nob
  
• cut off choppa on nob and replaced with slugga
  
• continued work on wartrukk
  
  • reattached halves
    
  • added armour plates to help cover up join lines
    
  • strengthened attachment joints with plates of plasticard

still need to do:

• dullcote the Russ
  
• fill gaps on new nob
  
• paint new nob
  
• model drivers/gunners for buggies/trukk
  
• model one of my shoota boyz into a burna boy
  
• paint burna boy

This list is getting shorter and shorter. maybe it's time to start building riggers, grots, and ammo runts. need to make one more nob for trukk boyz. will need one more for other trukk boyz mob.

Wartrukk progress

well, a little progress on the wartrukk, last night i took Kr00za's (from the waaagh) advice and chopped down the length. got a little scared that i was ruining the model about 1/2way through when some of the glue that held it together started to fail. then i realized i paid less then $5 for the model. and all i would be losing out on would be a couple hours i've put into modeling it thus far.

So i cut out the rear wheel well. will have to cut a chunk out of th fender when i get the tracks on the back. not sure if i want to do track guards for them, not very orky. have been thinking about what to do to make it look worky when i do put the tracks on, what do i use for an axle, etc. and i remembered my damned box 'o' pens i bought. a pen barrel will make a great axle and spacers for the tracks!

Pre-op plans:

wip pix:

Post-surgery, gluing the interior of the door to the exterior. boy i could use a set of small clamps!

ooh! i almost forgot, i've armour plated the windshield. it doesn't look quite right now, but it's coming along.

So I started work on the first of my new wartrukks. A ’58 Plymouth Belvedere. I was inspired by Ken’s “One Piece at a Time” Cadillac and the cover for the PS2 game 187 Ride or Die Picture
