More Blasta Bommer Work – Gunna Get It Dome Someday!
So I’m back in the saddle for a time, we’ll see how long it goes 😉 I’ve actually been working on and off on this monster for about three weeks and the only thing I’ve accomplished has been the metallic weathering. I know, not much to weathering, right? Egggad, I wish. For anyone who saw…

Dakkajet Pilots and Blasta Bommer Paint
Wrapped up the pilots for each of my three dakkajets last night, presented here 🙂 And he doesn’t look too bad nestled in the cockpit. Just need to finish the widscreen and base it. In other news, the blasta bomma, “Moar Dakka!!!” is no longer black and appropriately fasta! And a “Barry” shot for scale,…

Completed Canopy on the Ork Blasta Bomma!
Sometimes you get stuck, you come to a roadblock that you can’t blow through with ease, something that stymies you for a good long time. That was the canopy for the blasta bommer for me. I’ve had time since I primed this beast and each time I looked at the canopy and was just blind…

Almost Finished! “Moar Dakka!” Starts Getting Primer!
Finished everything except the canopy tonight. Because of my schedule I know I won’t be able to finish it before Saturdays game. Oh well, not like they need a windscreen anyway, right? 🙂 I did magnetize the bombs so I can always swap them out later with Grot bombs or other fun ordnance. I’ve got…

Ding Bombs are Done!

THe only things left to do is the canopy: and the underside of the main wings with the clusters of bombs. Nearly…

Fuselage complete, tail gunner done.
Got some time last night and forced my self to do what I’ve been putting off for while, the final paneling of the tail section. Because of the amount of compound curves I was at a loss as to how to do it so it looked “proppa” but not too ramshackle as I’ve already established…

Tail section completed
Put some time in on the bommer this week. Spent three hours doing rivets on the tail before doing the final attachment. With this in place, it’s time to finish the tail section, blend in the tail wing and start finishing off the detailing. This marks the finish of the base shaping. I’ll need to…

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…
