Tankwagon Part 3

More progress, albeit slowwwwly...

Tankwagon Part 2

Gaahh!  I've been busy herding cats, so it's been a bit, but I have progress.  My girlfriend set up a studio space for me in her craft room! Huzzah!

Tankwagon Part 1

Back on the modelling train!  I want a more tankish Battlewagon, and pouring over the archives I found this gem:

So running with this concept I went ahead and started digging in the bits box. 

More Painted stuff...

I got the first Battlewagon done!  W00t!

This is more of a test than anything, but more to follow at erratic intervals:

So as I was building this guy I realized I'm just not happy with it, at least as a battlewagon.  A bit too small, and the general direction isn't as pleasing as I'd like.  So I'm placing the project on hold.  Instead I'm spinning up another wagon.
This wagon will be 'Ard Cased, but the same look as the previous two.  Here's the hull so far:

Only had time to get the cab built,  not all that interesting but better than nothin:

Right.

More utility today than anything.  I wanted to incorporate the copious numbers of extra trukk axles I have, mostly to use them up.  The differential does look cool though, so no worries there.  The only issue they are designed for the trukk chassis, and mine is a bit wider.  So choppy chop!

No rest for the weary.  I'm going to OFCC in July so I now have a deadline.  I have a rough list and I need at least one more Battlewagon.  So today I layed down the frame:

This wagon will be a little bit shorter than the last, mainly because that's the room I have in my foam tray for my bag.  This guy will have an offset chassis to accommodate the larger back wheels.
The frame itself is some Evergreen rectangular tube.

Holy crap!  After being mocked by a barely started chassis for two months I'm finally finished.

I'm still fairly new to magnetizing my stuff, but I'm really liking it on my battlewagons so far.  I can change up loadouts, easily show destroyed weapons and most importantly store my stuff easier.

Let me show how I built this iteration of mag-gunz.

My goal is to get a post like this:

and a mount like this:

So I got on a run of building and didn't really get in any WIP shots.  All I really did though was lay out parts from my loose bits box that looked like they'd work together, then cut, mashed, forced, glued and swore my way into this point in the build:

The next big bit was to get the cab built.  After much monkey work ended up matching what I did on the previous wagon using the wagon prow as the roof:

This go around I decided to use up as many truck and wagon bits I have in by bitsbox, as it's pretty full.  Note the cut down truck windscreen here:

 

I did some measuring and lined up a rear access door for the cab:

On to the bed.  I spliced an ork truck bed plate with two battlewagon bed panels:

These are upcycled bits from some cutup kits I got in a trade.  Rather then tear it up even more I just worked around the parts, using them as beat I could:

And bed on frame!  At least I have a playable model now, even if it's not finished:

mtk...

Hot Rod Battlewagon 2 part 2

Progress has begun.  Here's where I currently am on the build:

Hot Rod Battlewagon 2 - Part 1

Yes, the posting has been pretty light.  As the kids get older and are involved in more stuff hobby time takes a back seat.  I've got some vacation time at home coming up so I'm really hoping to finish my next Battlewagon by the 1st of the year. 
I found this while poking around on the web.  I really like front end and it's weird turbine/boiler looking mess.  I figure I'll take this concept and mash it with the last wagon I built so they are similar in form but with different looks. 

On to gathering parts and a hopefully more detailed build.

Hot Rod Battlewagon 1 Complete!

Holy crap, that was a long time comin. Here's the pics:

  Got it armed too, since rokkits cost the same big shootas, why not go big. 

Hot Rod Battlewagon 1 part 6

Progress! Who knew!  I finally made a decision on the front end and decided to go with the simple radiator/grill gob. 

Hot Rod Battlewagon 1 Part 5

Progress, at the speed of smell.

Still recovering from a little outpatient procedure, but managed to get this done:
