Biggified Ork Battlewagon Pt 13

Got a little more work done this afternoon, but not much. I started the turret mount/deck plate framing. I’ll be adding a layer of metal plating for that “3D” effect with all the appropriate rivets and more gubbins and such to make the entire thing blend better into the ‘ard case topside.

The thing that bothers me is the space created between the upper deck and the outer extensions where the big shootas sit. It’s too open in my book and I’ll be looking into a way to create some kind of overhead cover that doesn’t block the viewer totally from the insides. My initial idea is a sort of metal awning that juts out from the edges of the turret mounting plate – but obviously one that doesn’t look like an awning.

Here’s couple of views with the turret off and on so you can see where everything sits. It’s kinda tough at this point to see exactly what the deck plate does but trust me, it blends the turret into the ‘ard case pretty well – it also removes that silly gap issue with the turret.

Onto the pics.

Later!
