So a white fluff-ball, you say? Yes. I think this shape reflect an orkoid concept of aviation streamlining perfectly. Sort of a "crush the air" approach to flying. Still, the meks would naturally improve upon this design adding various bits in a more or less hap hazard way. You need some wingy bits. Not necessarily for flying, but for adding huge shooty rockets later. Furthermore, a set of properly stompy ground bits would prevent the ball of Gork to topple upon landing, tossing boyz and grots around its roomy interior. Oh, and speaking of which, a nice big hatch to let slip the green horde out in an impressive way!

Sorry about the picture quality btw. The phonecam is not really the spiffiest, but handy and nearby. Anyway. Mork naturally heard about the whole thing and insisted on a similar design for his followers...

Orkiness is conveyed not through white fluff, but rivits. Lots of them. A decent sized whaargh to anyone capable of identifying the source of the material for the soon-to-be Landa-skin.

Not too many comments so far, well I'll just go ahead anyway. Bridge done, riveted skin underway.

Starting to take shape. No idea of the source of the rivits. Keep going i am curious now to see the finished landa support. |

Metal skin finished, main engines added some gunz added (more to come), wing rokkit launchers done. To do: Landing gear, more gunz and fiddly bitz, assault hatch, painting.

Thanks! I actually stole the concept from another epic madman who did some ork-stuff a couple of years ago. Cannot actually remember who it was or what he did. Could have been Mustang Sally who had a nice website way back (cannot find it now). I use the foil from used nespresso coffee pods. Sort of a dual purpose, really. Cut them to shape, use a suitably blunt yet pointy enough pin (I filed one down a bit) and punch away! |

I believe you're referring to Warmaster Nice. |

My humbliest apologies to Warmaster Nice (and others). Brilliant idea though, well suited for stealing |

Attachment: At first I was like, "meh." By the final pic, I was intrigued. It is looking Orkified - I look forward to seeing the final product! |

yep, beggining to look interesting! Looks to me like the start of a very cartoonish themed ork army to me! R> |

I have always had a hard time with the more sinister take on orks in later editions of 40K-ishness. Ridiculous. What makes (or made) this whole universe fun to me is (or was) the tongue-in-cheek messiness and malleability (blood axe human advisors?!?). Things have gotten too serious lately. Or maybe I'm just getting old Speaking of which. I'm pondering the next two steps. I'm not sure how to solve the stomp-the-ground bits and the door mechanism.
