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.…

Making Orky Jet Engines
Spent 2 hours last night making the primary engine intakes. Fiddly work but it’ s got to be done! Here’s how I did it. There’s a couple of different ways to do turbine blades. Some of them include math and geometry. Mine include neither! I completely guessed (as any good mek does) on the number…

Ork Blasta Bommer Tripod Modification
My tripod came in yesterday and got the chance to get it ready late last night. Here now, in excruciating. boring detail, is how I modified the tripod for my bommer. Here’s the original tripod, maybe $20 tops online (Amazon.com I think). It’s rated to hold up to 2 pounds but after getting it in…

On the Big Mek Drawing Board
Took some time during lunch to sketch out and do a scale drawing of the bommer today. I’ve blocked out the basics – enough so I can confidently start transferring it to some full size graphed paper and making patterns for the interior ribbing. I went back through both of pox’s threads on this beasts…

OK, as with every Thanksgiving weekend, I took a full army shot as well as assessed my army in total, painted and unpainted. Here’s the entire painted portion of my army… This is roughly 6,800 points – without pushing wargear and of course not including possible formations. Here’s everything I have that’s assembled/field-able (meaning not…

Stock GW Battlewagon Update
Thanks Doc! The grass is a bit green – it’s GW’s flock so tends to be a bit bright. I can live with it. Things have been a bit on the slow side for me in the hobby world as Real Life has gotten very, very busy as of late. I’ve got some very exciting…

Pulsa Rokkets!
OK – got a bit of a break. The guy I was building the other skullhammer and pulsa rokkit for can’t make the Apoc game this weekend so I only need to finish one of them. I could try and take both but because of the way the points are structured, it doesn’t make any…

Paintin’em Red of Course…
An hour of masking and about 30 min. of spray painting some of the base colors. From here it’s metals, some checks/dags and chipped paint, then wash, seal and base. Hope I can get it done in time! Later!

Pulsa Rokkit Tower – Shed
Ok, enough chit chat, back to the Big Mekkin’! Started the base work on the second pulsa over the last couple of days. I’m taking a different approach to this one. The first pulsa was all about this rokkit, this one is all about the base. Since the rokkit on this one is soooo skinny,…
