Working my tail off here!
That also means…. updates! I wanted to get the vertical stabilizers done today and that meant doing some of the detailing/paneling on the rear wing section to accomplish this. Here’s how I put it together. I superglued the engines in place and sanded all the edges on the wing panels. Then I used H-Beams to…

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.…

More Big Mek Engine Work
More bommer work done after the initial spaz about the warbuggies… Here’s some parts in subassembly stage. I’ve gotten the putty rounding the engine cowlings done, although not the best.

Need to do the detailing like armor patches,…

Red Paint and Checks
I’m back from vacation and work has slowly restarted on Red Jack’s Battlewagon. As I wrote in my blog yesterday, the battlewagon’s in it’s awkward stage where it’s paint job looks too clean and parts are unpainted and it may be tough to envision what the end product will look like. That’s alright, I know…

Ork Battlewagon Complete
Well, 5 months, 114 uploaded photos, at least three pots each of Scab Red, Red Gore, Blood Red, Boltgun Metal and 5 pots of Chaos Black later, I’m calling it finished. After looking at the boyz last joyride I noticed the hydraulic arms on the roller looked a little weedy so I wrapped them in…

Deff Rolla Rocks!
Deff rolla rocks. I’ve actually taken photos during each step of the finishing of the roller. The plates started off with with a primer black base. For the first two layers I used a wet version of dry brushing. The brush was wet and paint had been thinned down as normal, only I brushed the…
