  • Progress on Blasta Bommer

    Small spurts of progress, doesn’t look like much but wrapping plastic around a fuselage with compound curves is tough! I’ve got more of the transition between body and tail. It needs multiple layers of pcard to get it where I need it so I can put a proppa plating on it for skinning. It’s still…

  • Big Meks Give You Wings!

    Howdy folks! I’ve been putzing all week on the wings of the bommer but nothing worth posting. Would be pretty boring seeing one tiny thing each day… “Put hoses on today” “Put the engine brackets on today” “Put panels down but no rivets yet…” So I figured I’d save them up to show you something…

  • Gun Port Hatches Finished

    A little bit finished tonight. If I keep this up It might be done by 2013! Worked on the side gun hatches last night and tonight. Not much but something. 🙂 Later!

  • Ork Superheavy Blasta Bomma Brought Out of Mothballs!

    So I sliced my finger good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) the other day. It’s still thumping sore but works gotta go on, right? Here’s the cut… Doesn’t look like much in the photo at left, a small cut. What you can’t see very well in the photo is the deep…

  • Big Old Mixed Bag Today

    Sheeze, three days back on the bench and it shows me what for… Did something today I haven’t done in nearly 20 years – drove an exacto deep into my finger. One of those stupid things where two seconds before it happens you’re thinking… “YA know, if that slips it’s gonna go deep and hurt…

  • Ork Blasta Bommer Production Halted!

    On another note: work on the bommer will be temporarily halted. Now that you’re all done shouting… An exceptional opportunity for the missus and I to buy a different house has come up and things need to move quickly so the hobby room is getting packed up so the house shows better, which usually equates…

  • Moar Gunz!!!!!!!

    OK, I did it, I added more guns. Wasn’t sure how I was going to finish off the chin so I decided to add more dakka! Too much? Naw… And Thanks to Harkon Greywolf for his patented lascannon barrel conversion – looted with pride! So now I get to finish off the plating on the…

  • Can ya say More Deff Arsenal?

    More Deff Arsenal work today. Not 100% there but close. Got the nose guns and rokkets finished, now working on filling in the sides with various armaments. Just pics, not a lot of words. Dakka dakka dakka. Later!

  • More Deff Arsenal Kannons!

    Doesn’t look like much but spent some time working on the deff arsenal tonight. I detailed up the interior space in the nose tonight and finished off the gun receivers that “should” extend back into the fuselage of the plane. Things seem a bit open and unfinished in this space and that’s because it is.…

  • Weapons Research

    OK, did some research and found a gun that gives me the look I want in the nose. It’s a short barreled, drum fed M2 .50 machine gun. I did some sketching to see how it would fit within the space of the nose and decided against the drum feed and go with a belt…
