Biggified Ork Battlewagon Pt 10
&#$@#! Penelope and Oddballz – keeping me honest and shaming me into not being so lazy and just slapping the BB turret on there…….
I know it’s all for the better. I’ve gone and started the reconstruction on the kannon turret to represent the kill kannon. I’ve widened it with the intention of adding a double-barrelled affair coming out of it. I’ve got some ideas in the head of what the finished gun will look like but nothing concrete – it will be as a right mek should do it…. on the fly.
The smaller base that’s included will be expaned to cover more area and look more proper but I needed to finish the “footprint” for the turret first so I know how wide to extend the edges so it looks right. I’ll also be attempting to at an awning/cover of some sort that extends from the turret mounting base, hoping to go out over the exposed sides of the wagon bed to give the big shoota boyz a bit more cover when the big gun is installed.
The first two pics show the basic gun position now and about how long I want to make the barrels. I originally was thinking of some short, large bore gun but the profile and turret height really doesn’t allow for that so I’ll make it up with two barrels to convey “extra killy.” The third one is to show a little more of what the front facing profile will look like. A little more balanced I think, thanks to everyone’s input.
Again, thanks for the input and encouragement to make this much better than I was going to let it.
p.s. Yes, I’ll address the ram too. I love the look now but do wish I would have used a thicker stock from the start – I think that would have solved a lot of the weedy-ness issues that are being mentioned. Oh Well.
