Gobsmasha Part 1

I do love Ork vehicles.  I love the fact that the final look is open to interpretation.  I love how they are comically ramshackle.  I love how simply brutal they are. Most of all, I love building 'em!  I need some heavy gunz in this Speed Freeks army.  I always wanted to build a Gobsmasha so 'ere we go!  The very old Epic system had fantastic vehicles:

 

So...many...Mek...dreams...

Whew, shake it off.  Gobsmasha for now.

Big Boss PiW Part 6-Finished

With the exception of his Evil Sunz glyph, he's finally done.  I added some scratch built hydraulic rams to his legsbuilt up his shoulders more, covered gaps and uglies with more armor plates and finally added a Kromlech head.  I enjoy the comedy that orks bring to the table and the idea of a giant ork boss, all cyborky and armored up with a tiny metal head struck me as funny.  May I present Klanka Bucket'ead:

Ork Trukk #2 Part 5-Finished

The final work here was the last little bit of cleanup and adding the rivets.  I also roughed up the nice edges with my dremel.  Whew!

Ork Trukk #2 Part 4

Home stretch now.  Focused on the back, adding Trukk rails as passenger pipes, the big shoota and the wreckin ball.  I spliced the wrecker to the grabbing claw arm from the battle wagon kit to get the lift arm.  Some rather orky bracing and it's good to go.

Ork Trukk #2 part 3

I focused on the front end, getting the engine finished by adding the exhausts, fan, radiator and front grill.  The left pipes are stock, but the right side are from the bomma kit.  It required bending the pipe to make it work. A little heat from a candle is all it took.  The grill is just stacked slabs of strip card capped with a Kan shoulder plate.

Ork Trukk #2 Part 2

Progress made.  I added some detail to the cab and installed the engine.  The visor on the roof came out of my bitz box, and the blower on the engine is a Stormboy pack. I started the back deck with a piece of Plastruct diamond plate, with one of the sides of the bed cut off of one of the trukk kit front end plates.  Not too much to say about the build, really...

Ork Trukk #2 Part 1

I've started on my second trukk for my Waaagh. I took inspiration from a rat rod tow truck pic I found online. I started the build on the standard trukk chassis and went from there.
I used the standard trukk cab baseplate and firewall, mainly because I was lazy and I had them. I scratch built the rest of the cab with 1 mm plasticard. In keeping with my theme I lowered the frame. In the rear I flipped the axle over. In the front I moved the axle to the front of the chassis, away from the suspension.
