Rumble in the Rubble (2)

Hi all,

I hope you had a great weekend, with some quality family time and hopefully some hobby time too.

@Malevengion  - you're right about the GW track skirts, but I'm very reluctant to cover that nice suspension - so most likely I will go with the full meta, half cover version.

And hey! "The Crumpa" sounds great :)

I reworked the feet - actually the whole leg - orienting a lot closer to the original Forgeworld version.

 

I think this looks now Orky enough.

 

And it looks strong enough to support the machine.

 

I also added some stuff to the head.

 

Doors to cover up the sides, teeth, plenty of teeth.

 

And a periscope (when needed).

 

Then I started to add the shoulders.

 

Strong and wide enough to house the arm mounts.

 

Yep, looks good!

 

Of course such a mighty machine needs Powa, right!

So not a V8, but a W9 it is!

;)

 

Together with some exhausts it looks propa.

 

On Sunday I was a bit lazy and decided to work on some ammo for the guns.

For this I used a piece of sprue,

 

cut off about 1.5 cm

 

inserted it into the drill

 

and started to shave it into shape.

First on a rasp,

 

then 240 sandpaper,

 

and finally 400 sandpaper.

 

Within a few minutes I had some nice slugs :)

 

This also works with larger caliber.

 

With the ammunition created, I needed a gun for it.

In good Big Mek tradition I started to stitch something together :)

 

And with an ammo-feeder,

 

This will dish out some Dakka, will it not?

 

 

Ammo in the breach ;)

 

 

This is as far as I got.

Oh, and my desk really looks like a mess!

 

Working on Ork stuff always has this "impact" on my desk.

I hope you like today's update and I look forward to your feedback.

Cheers

Klaus
