Shokk Attack Big Mek WIP 2

Here’s the progress on my Shokk Attack Gun Big Mek. Having to paint, assemble, paint more, assemble more…. is making this a long and tricky model to finish. There’s some in progress showing the gun prior to gluing to the main body. I wanted to reduce (or eliminate) the amount of greens stuff filler I needed due to time constraints. After test fitting multiple times, I concluded that gluing the arm at a slightly elevated angle allowed most of the other joins to be made on target without patching needed.

He is a monster – as a reference I took a shot of him next to my other Big Mek with Kustom Force Field. Maybe I’ll show him next to Gaz next time. I agree with Skeeve, because of his size he should be considered in the Monster category for contests.

I also got to "field" him along with my tournament army this weekend – I’m sold on the new trukk rules. I can’t wait/I’m a bit apprehensive about building the next trukk, only because I know it’s gonna take  long while!

I’ve also picked up an M88 Armored Recovery Vehicle kit to make a dedicated troop battlewagon out of. I’ve been jonesing for a while to do this one and now that the new rules are out I think I’ll get to use it for at least 2 years ! (wink) Here’s the M88. Below that is another traced vehicle I’d love to find a kit for – ATS-59G. Again, another shoo in for great ork transport!
