  • Deff Rolla Fix and a Reward

    Ok, remember that deff rolla that went south on me a couple months back? Well, I finally forced myself to fix it. I had to as it’s nearly the only thing left to finish! As you can see above, on top of supergluing the plates in place, I’ve screwed them down as well. Inelegant as…

  • Weathering the Battlewagon

    Spent some quality time with the wagon tonight and finally got some dirt on it. I finished up some of the smaller details and little things I’ve been agonizing over (hate it when I do that – they’re jut little things…). I made up a pot of magic wash with black and did an entire…

  • Painting Progress on Battlewagon

    Made some progress this weekend on Red Jack’s sweet new ride. Did some detail painting, adding some graffiti stuff and started painting the Kill Kannon. I’m at an impasse though. I don’t know what I should paint the main barrel. Black? Red? Steel? The reason I’m waffling is I will be writing something along the…

  • Painting and Deff Rolla Fix

    I know this isn’t what you guys would want to see in an update but it’s where I’m at. Things are slow going since it’s summer (finally) here in the northern US, although I did get a chance to sit down and start slapping some more paint down. I’ve gotten a majority of the red…

  • Begin the Bedazzler!

    How’s this for motivation? My wife walks into the office, I’m hunched over the workbench sanding some spikey bits. She takes a look at the deff roller and remarks.. “Oh look, honey. You’ve Bedazzled your Ork thingy!” Ok, that’s is, there will be primer on this thing before the day is out. In a hurry,…

Hahahaha lol lol lol You’ll be laughing when dem gems are crushing all yourz skulls inta bloody pulps!!! Mash. mash, MASH! I myself will have a hard time taking this thing with any…

  • Spikey Deff Rolla!

    Quick post. I put in an hour last night. One hour. An entire hour. And produced this. I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to make the wider, flatter pyramid spikes that should adorn the roller plates. Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions! I wish there was a grot manufacturer in the area.…

  • 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…
