Ok, the mind is set. I've now got enough arguments:
-Not a lot of models.
-No flesh, so easier to build.
-My real world name is 'Freek' (pronounced like frayk in my country).
-I'm speedy (20-25 mph on average on the bike to school daily).

So now, I've started on the mekaniak bad ork bikeboy unit from the WD speed freek list, and am building myself 3 big wheels with a small cabin on the axis, where the ork will sit, along with a big engine and gunz!

I love the monowheel idea.  I wanted to do the same thing for my speed freeks, but couldn't ever find a set of bits that I thought would work.  I was thinking something along the lines of the grot-monowheel illustration in the rulebook with the orks perched on top and rocket engines/gunz mounted on the hubz.

Please share what you decide to use as bits.  I'd love to hear it.

I already built them (1 base, to be my mekaniak supreme commander guy thingy).

I used some corrugated cardboard, some paper, some thick card, and metalwire.

Cut 2 circles from the corrugated card, ang glue together. Glue a strip of paper around the edge of the wheel, closing the space in the cardboard. Glue roughly cut round shapes to the sides of the wheel, indicating the edge of the engine/crew compartment. Cut small pieces of wire, and glue them on as exhausts and guns. Glue the wheel on a base.

I made these about 15 mm in diameter, how big shall I make the buggies? 2 cm? bigger?

And btw, how big are the gunfortresses? is 4-5 cm long enough?

*Thinks of glueing 27 pieces of corrugated card, and sighs*

Now, if you guys wil give me the average sizes of certain models, I will provide with pics (as I can't build without knowing a size!). :cool:

Ok, which certain models are you looking the size of and I'll see what I can do.....
probably others will too, as they may have models closer to hand.

Just a suggestion ... try Bartertown or Ebay ... it would be easier ... and the quality would be "better" ... other than that ... see a good therapist ... :{

1 It wouldn't be easier for me.
2 It would certainly cost me money, while this project has high hopes of merely costing me glue & paint.
3 The quality is not per definition better.
4 I'm already past the therapist state.
5 It wouldn't be as fun!

*Gives Legion 4 prozac*

"Have a nice meal!" :p

*Gets busy with card & glue*

Btw, sizes would be more helpful. :;):

[Edit: I got some designs for all my wagonz, I just need the sizes, and I can build 'em!]

As far as sizes, buggies are about 15x20mm or a bit bigger, fortresses are roughly 30x40mm, wagons are 20x30mm or so.

As with everything orky, it's just a rough classification and sizes can vary based on how 'ard or shooty the model looks.

Koptas are about the size of buggies.

Sorry, didn't manage to even look at anything Epic last night (I even missed The Match, that isn't good :( ) Luckily Nealhunt seems to have done the business. :D
