Reader Submission-Ork Tank

Some time ago I sold one of my "Medium Scrap Tanks" to reader Pi_Rm, and he kindly sent my pics of his fantastic paint job. Holy crap!  He made my stuff look good!

Ork T34 Big Trakk Complete

With everything going on I haven't been able to get much modeling done.  I did have the first T34 in the can so I can at least post that.

Here's the first full cast of the kit, with all the resin parts:

So in my eggnog induced haze I was able to build some of my missing components of the T34.  Unfortunately I don't have any WIP shots so these will have to do...

Kustom Sovi-Ork Kill Kannon:

Shooty Turret wiv Xtra big cupola (cuz da Tank Nobz is bigga)

Lidz for da above Turrets

The hatches can be placed open or closed so a Kommanda can be put in the turret.  I'll make my molds for these then finish up the track units and the hull.

Ork T34 Big Trakk Part 2

They T-34 is coming along, slowly, but forward anyway. I had to cast a boatload of track links and make sure they fit together.  Anytime I do this a dry run is is necessary.

The Russian Ork theme continues with construction of a T-34 (T-3fOrk or Waaagh-34 if you prefer).  I'm designing this to be cast so a solid and chunky build is required.  Why casting?  Well, I need 9 of them, and I'm lazy.  Plus if want more later it's no big deal to crank'em out.  The main thing is I want them to be proportionally wrong.  I want them to be almost parodies of the real thing, otherwise I'd go by them and convert.  To that end I'm shortening them.  That way they'll look stubby and a touch comical.  On to some pics.

I was going to build the track units for each tank, but I'm lazy.  So using what I learned from the Grot Scrap Tank builds I'm designing the track units to be modular, just as before.  I'll build them up then backfill the inside of the tread housing to keep the unit solid.  I do lose some detail but it will keep the piece strong.
