Hiding Magnets
I got a few responses about how/where I hid the magnets for the Kill Kannon. Here’s were the mags are hidden… One of the parts containing the magnets is glued to the deck with a very (paper) thin sheet of styrene glued over it so the force isn’t weakened so much and it paints over…

Magnetizing Kill Kannon Platform
Winter’s not done with us yet up here in Minnesota so everything I had planned outside got cancelled, which means more time for the Wagon! My wife had her own projects she wanted to finish up that didn’t include me so I had a lot of time to work on the battlewagon this weekend. It…

Kill Kannon Work
Started work on the Kill Kannon platform last night. I’m looking for sturdy but transparent so you can see the plating and girding needed to stabilize a gun of this size. The idea is ramshackle beefy. I’m realizing lately that I’m not finishing one area before moving on to another – the deff rolla is…

New Deff Rolla Design!
I frustrate myself sometimes… Cleaned out the garage in preparation for summer and found some old PVC pipe bits I’d been saving for “someday/something” and I think I found what that is, although it’ll make more work for me. Part of me never really liked the diameter of the deff rolla I’ve been working on,…

Armor Plates and Drivers Compartment
Finished off the other side armor and redid the “face”. Much happier with where it\’s at now. Very Gork-y. I’ll be painting the lens of the searchlight a fractured green or blue. Not sure yet. Digging through the bits boxes and came across this. That’s right, I’m on the lookout for the Goff Rockers now….…

Rivets!!!
RIVETS! Ok, I put down some rivets, big and small. I’m liking the way it “fills out” the character here. I started working on the other side armor, creating a pretty looking ork glyph for the front plate (IMO). Now I’m jonesin’ to pick up a paint brush but all in due time, I guess.…

Deff Rolla work and Kill Kannon
The nice thing about working on something so large is if I get bored/frustrated/uninspired with one thing, I can always pick another part to work on until inspiration strikes again! The mechanicals for the deff roller is done, it rolls and is removable. The photos below show the particulars and where/how it attaches. I know…

Deff Rolla Construction
Made some progress over the weekend on the deff roller and had a little mini-vacation with the missus! Overall, a good weekend. The first pic today is a composite showing some in process while making the rollers themselves. The first inset is the armature end that connects the rollers to the connecting arms. The red…

Battle Damage
I’m pretty happy with how this thing’s turning out. Took a while to start “realizing” it, but I think I’ve finally got it. I unleashed the Dremel last night and went to town. It might seem like it’s not battle damaged enough but I want to save some open space to do Orky graffiti somewhere.…

More Battlewagon Armor
Did a bunch of patchy work. Added some random panels to the topside, I’m going to add a few straps across the top too to break it up even more and give it another layer of depth/detail. I also started on the side panels and front details. The eyes/teeth are from a previous battlewagon attempt…
