Swaped some of my smaller ork stuff with Falesh for this Mk1 Great Gargant.
Only had it a day but its already been converted.
Cut the dodgy looking feet off first n replaced them with some Mk5 GG feet. Then stuck these oversized arms on it.
Still needs work but Im pleased with it so far. ?:)

Beautiful, if that is a word that can be applied to a Ork construction.  :p  The new legs look good. However, considering that the head turret looks somewhat like a top hat you might not want to paint him white or someone like me might dub him "Frosty".  :p  }:)

Edit: "Frosty the Gargant, 'e's as shooty as can be..."  :p

Fantastic conversion looks very Orky! ?:)

How come its like a creamy colour though? Confused; it looks like its made from plastic but I didnt think they ever made plastic gargants, or did they?...

He is mostly made from resin, giving it that colour.

Resin? I thought making models out of resin was something that GW had only been doing relatively recently?...

I think it was a bit of a one off, how to fill such a large body without it costing a bomb. Maybe that was the only thing they could think of doing, it must be over 10 years since I bought it so the GW might not have been quite as advanced at building big models *shrug*.

The first two Great Gargant models produced had resin bodies & metal accessories. They were pretty much just prototypes for the metal models, but it seems more were made than I thought up until a year or so back - they keep cropping up all over the place!

Like Nessie and the Yeti, these old anomalies occasionally show up !  Darkone was "in search of" these, but I don't if he ever found them ... ?:cool:

The model looks great.  The claw arm is truly impressive.

Thanks for the pics.

Take Care

Interesting :).

Thanks for the info on the Resin Gargants, surprised I didn?t know about them as I do have every WD back to like issue 30 but it must have slipped my notice. Hmm may have to see if I can hunt one down at some point (or are they really, really rare and hence expensive?)...
