Scrap Canon Wagon Part 9

Finished up the turret and the main gun build. I got the hatch in place, going for a big square cupola.  That kept the build looking orky, rather than it being too refined. The gun mantlet fittings match the ones from the previous scarp tank so the weapons can be interchangeable Now all I need to do is a fully assembled pic and start creating the molds for casting.

Yes, yes it's been a while.  As the kids get older and busier more time gets taken up being Dad.  Totally worth it!  I got a bit more done on the wagon turret and the main gun.

Real life totally gets in the way of hobby time.

The little bit of progress I did manage to get done was to start the 'Ard Case and turret for the Wagon:

Over the last few lunches at work I got the side sponsons finished:

Scrap Canon Wagon Part 5

Today's lunch progress, pegs in place and sponsons started. I bored out the wheel on the drill press last night:

The peg is a nylon bushing from the hardware store.

Scrap Canon Wagon Part 4

Hey, some actual progress.  I got the front wheel started.   

Glued two soy milk carton caps together and filled them with resin:

As I began the track modules I found that they would be the same size as the one for the OrKV-2 grot tanks I'm building, so rather than double up on the work I modified the gun wagon chassis so those tracks would fit.

This is what I started:

Holy Hannah!  Progress!  The cab and bed are complete.  Now to move on to the track units.

Scrap Canon Wagon Part 1

In the interest of maintaining my short attention span, I decided I need gunwagons.  Now being a lazy git, I figured it would be easiest to build a master and cast up what wanted.  This has the added benefit of be a product that I can offer later.  Here's the progress so far:

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!

Dread Mob Part 1

I'm really hung up on building some stompy bits for my orks, so I figured a Dread Mob Army ought to scratch that itch.  I want them to be more big TinBoyz than walking cans, so I took a DeffDread body and converted it up to be a master cast, detaching the hips so I can have more articulation:

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. 

Mega Mek and Objective Markers

Wrapped up painting of the units I needed for OFCC.  I've a few things assembled left to paint just so they're done.  Then on to the next project.  Maybe some more orks, maybe a Knight, maybe some Iron Hands.  Haven't really decided.  Here's the painted Mek anyhow:

More Painted stuff...
