Hot Rod Battlewagon 2 Part 3

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:

Boss Nobz Quick Hit

Hidee Ho eveyrone!  It's been a while but I didn't really have much to post so rather than blather I figured I'd wait till I have something to show.  I have projects on the table but I've been spending more time playing games with the family and having tons of fun.  I did manage to get some ork boyz built (nothing exciting) and realized I needed some appropriate Boss Nobz for them, so I bashed these guys out.  I used normal sized boys heads for a bit of variety plus they seem to match the units better.  Otherwise I just used the Nob kit and piled on the gubbinz:

Don't pizz ov da Bosses!

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.

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!
