Working my tail off here!
That also means…. updates! I wanted to get the vertical stabilizers done today and that meant doing some of the detailing/paneling on the rear wing section to accomplish this. Here’s how I put it together. I superglued the engines in place and sanded all the edges on the wing panels. Then I used H-Beams to…

Finalized Ork Bommer Tail
Got some time tonight to work on the blasta bommer. I knocked out the base shapes for the tail – this should clear up a couple of questions floating around. Badfangs suggestion about raising the tail engines up so they’re not directly in line with the front engines was a good one. I accomplished it…

Blasta Bommer Tail Work
Got a little work done tonight – won’t look like much but it’s a bit further along than last night. Did the rolled portion of the wings leading edges. I sliced a styrene tube lengthwise and trimmed it to fit and glued it to the open edges. Then I went after the rear engine assembly.…

Bommer wing in for repairs…
Small progress last night on the bommer. Would have gotten more finished but I stumbled a few times, silly mistakes, all recoverable with a little time and grousing. My last few large Apocalypse projects have taught me a little about “overbuilding and over engineering” these types of models. The problem comes with them usually being…

Da Big Mek Iz In!!!
Ancient hinges, rusted from eons of neglect, moan their complaints. Sharp screeches of pain puncture the deep rumble as the massive workshop door slowly grinds open, daylight ruining the darkened calm of sleep beyond. Huge, translucent storage containers stacked imperiously high, reaching to the ceiling of the vast factory above. The remains of ruined vehicles…

About
What is BIG SHOOTA? It’s a site for Orky Insparashun! After researching orks online I felt that they we’re under-represented so I’m throwin’ my three teef into the ring about those crazy orks. My warboss is Red Jack, named for his need to have his entire army wear red jack-boots. Most of the site is,…

Return to the Big Mek Shed
Alright fans, another picture filled post with a ridiculous level of mundane detail. I know you all like it that way Ahhhh the workbench – I missed you so! Has it really been three months?! I promised to start working on the bommer again so here it is. Tonights goal was to get the forward…

Full throttle to the engines!
Spent an hour working on getting the wing/engine connector worked out. Nothing too complex really. Carefully drilled out a hole big enough to just fit the 1/2 PVC into in each engine housing. Cut some pvc and temporarily hot-glued it in place. I then used a snake of plumbers putty and sealed it up good.…

More Big Mek Engine Work
More bommer work done after the initial spaz about the warbuggies… Here’s some parts in subassembly stage. I’ve gotten the putty rounding the engine cowlings done, although not the best. I should have done a one extra engine that I tested everything out on first. Could have been helpful with the bad shaping job on…
