MegaNobz! Part 1

Yes, I'm guilty of not posting in a while.  It's spring here in the Pacific NW and that means more outside time!  Between that and products in the pipeline my hobby postings have been slow.  My goal for now is at least once a week a hobby post.

Trukk #4 Part 3

The shell is still in progress.  When I put the shell on ork vehicles I measure for the space I'm trying to fill.  This does mean you rarely have a square angle anywhere.  If you end up with a funny gap just cover it with a bit or armor patch:

Trukk #4 Part 2

Right.  Let's get on with a post.  I took the chassis and added deck plates right to the frame.  I shaved down the high spots on the frame so that the plates stayed flat:
