I'm also looking forward to seeing paint on these creations. I think they look great. And don't worry if the paint brings out any surface imperfections! These are orcs. Their stuff is *supposed* to look that way.

The yellow stuff you have holding bits onto your wagons…. what's it called and where do you buy it?

I used to have tons of that stuff, and swore it was called "sticky tac" and sold in all local drug stores. Now though, when I look, all I find is some blue stuff, which is NOT the same. I don't like its performance nearly as well, and I fear it leaves a residue behind that interferes with paints.

Very inspiring work. I like the redundant wheels on da teef getta, but get what you are saying. Perhaps replace with oil drums? Or more dakka. For gork (or possibly mork).

Well, a bit more fer ya. Ummmmmm let me see order of business. S’Cipio the yellow stuff is from “Scotch” and says “mounting putty” on the box. Hmmmmmm scary about the Blue Stuff as I’ve used a lot of it on unpainted minis. I liked the consistency of the blue stuff, but ended up with yellow stuff this time around. I thought they were the same. Time will tell I guess………… Ok, a update. There is not much to show, but some fing is better than no fing, me thinks. Ok ere we go!

I want to bring up “Da Grumbla” real quick like. I threw on me big shootas from “Da Teef Getta” and thought “hey” dat could work!” I’m juz wondering what you Gits think. I’d rather ask you than da Boss see. If I ask da Boss der is a good chance I’ll juz be wrong, and it’s always bad to be wrong around da big guy. I got dis Git dat is supposed to show me how to make casts of some of dis stuff and if I can pull a squig out of me hat then I’ll have lotz of grubbins to use on me projects. Ok, speaking of “Da Grumbla” in these pictures I notice I need to do a little work where the side door meets da roof of da drivers shak. Dat wee bit of space is killing me eye. Will it matter in the end? I’m not sure so better to be safe than Boss sorry. Oh and da bumpa is just sitting there and is not mounted yet. It will be straighter in the end. Ok, some more to show you.

Ok here are current shots of “Da Masta Blasta”. I raised the drivers shak a hair as it feels to me as if da Kaptain of dis ride would want a better view of da go in ons. I’ve started work on the exposed engine piece just behind da big shootas. Short of hard to see at dis angle, but I know it’s there. A few more plates, tie the front to da top deck and I believe we will be good to go. Oh, I like how the front grill and lights are coming along. It’s cool how this stuff tends to take on a life of its own. Again always a bit more work, but with a long toothey smile; I can say I’m getting closer!

Image

So as these rides take shape I start to worry a bit. They is getting big. As I said before I really wanted to match Brother Blinds killa build in scale. Now as I sit back and look at dem I can see I’m losing the battle of size. So now my question is do you think they will still work as Big Wagons, or should I consider calling dem Gunfortresses or battle wagons? I really want to build a Gunfortress and these builds lack enough Shootas to be one, but it’s da size fing…………. Any thoughts?

Ok, I’m getting to me end (sorry). So I set out to make some changes on “Da Teef Getta”. I started wif da prow. With my BFG stuff I tried to really hammer out a lot of plates as it is really hard to try and represent the scale. Dem Kroozers is big! So I guess being a creature of habit I made my plates on me wagons similar. As I sat back and looked at it, I thought it was a bit busy. Soooooooooo I cut it and started ova. My fear is I will not be able to help me self and it will end up busy again. Time will tell.

Image

Ok, I got rid of da extra cog wheels, well I left one on dis side and added some springs. I also added a side railing and ladder to the side gun shak door. It needed some fing and well it sort of felt right. Now my buddy thinks what good does any self respecting Ork have for railings. My thoughts were it would help to bring out a ship feel (espically if I paint it wood colored). I’m thinking if I cut it and rough it up a bit and perhaps add a small plate it could work. I’m going to make da bit removable so I can attempt to cast dis build. Ok another angle fer yer eyes………..

Image

Here is a shot of da lader. Da railing will be higher to cover the imperfections and tie it better to da ladder if it stays as it is. You can also see the extra smoke makers on da engine on da back. I love smoke makers!. Hmmmm decesions, decesions. Ok big guestion loose da railing or leave it?

Image

Here is a shot of da ova side. I lost da cog/wheels and added a barrel (thanks Matty_C) although I don’t fink dis is da right barrel. I going to cut dis one off and make another one. Dis one is a bit long. It’s going to get a fuel line or some fing fer da Squig Boost Juice! I cut a plate and den added a view slit on da side, and a few springs. I may add another, not sure yet. I hope you’re liking da changes. Ok well dat is about me fer now. Again thank you fer all of the positive feedback, it means a lot ta dis Git.

I’ve got dis friend (yes Grots can have friends see) dat is supposed to help me figure out how to cast some stuff. So I’m trying to think about it as I build. Although I’m not real sure what I should be thinking except fer avoid a ton of undercuts. Dis casting Git says da railing is a No No. So da cunning plan is to make it removable. If I’m successful then yes I will make them available to the community. So it’s sounding like da railing can stay. Dis is a good fing as I think I likes it (“some fing fer da Grots to hold on to”. You know Rexhavoc yer speaking like a true Runt Erder. Da small useful Gits like dat idea!) Thank you for the input and helping a git ta think straight. Ummmmmmmm speaking of thinking straight. I want to post some WIP Battle fleet Gothic builds. Where would I put dem? Do they go in 6mm too? Uh, good news and bad news. Da good news is I’ve gone back to working on Da Bosses Big Ship (Da Jabber Nak) as he has been flying around and knocking eads of late. So I’m spending more time on dat side of da shed. Da problem is see, dat I’ve got to backward engineer some fings as I want to cast dat ship and I needs to make sure I don’t get dem GW Gits and riled up. Da bad news is me time is short so it’s going to slow me progress on me Epic stuff. Ahhhhhhhh da ebb and flow of fings. Don’t blame me, blame Da Boss if ye gotz da guts.
