  • Slow Work on Ork Blasta Bomma

    Just proving I’m not sittin’ on my haunches this break… Blocking out the metals by going over them with Badab black first – always base your metals with black, there’s a very good and scientific/optical reason why they look better that way. If you’re curious, let me know and I’ll do a tutorial! 😉 This…

  • 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…

  • 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!

  • Deff Arsenal Finished

    Finished the Deff Arsenal. Pics. It may look a little sparse yet but don’t worry, all “plain” areas will receive due treatment before it’s over. I’ll do some of the plating around the nose and do whatever it is I decide to do with the chin (not sure yet – maybe more guns…) Then I’ll…

  • Deff Arsenal Kannons Done

    Three hours and two large barrels – it’s all I got tonight, but it’s a start. I didn’t have the room I thought I did when I was sketching things out away from the model so I don’t thing I’ll have room for the belt feed, oh well. Here’s the pics! Later!

  • 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…

  • Blasta Bommer Cockpit Details

    I’m back from vacation and started it off right by whipping those parts grots inta shape! Started work on the cockpit today. Put some gubbins in the back, a pilot, a control yoke and a commo-grot. Various plates, planks and rivets round out the detail. Here’s the parts pulled out so I can prime and…

  • Ork Blasta Bommer – Main Construction Done

    Tiny update tonight. Model-wise I did the bridge of the nose and glued it to the rest of the fuselage. Dat’s about it. I spent the rest of the time cleaning up my work area and sorting through bits for details for the wings, cockpit and engines. That means the main body and shape is…

  • Working my tail off – Part 2

    I’m working my tail off here! I’ve now paneled up the entire tail wings. I created smaller plates using the original struts and wing panels as templates. Then I trimmed them a bit smaller and cut them into interesting shapes, sanded them a little and glued them in place. Here’s a support and the upper…
