I spent last month putting together 3 new trukks for my orks



This month is painting month

Those look pretty sweet! Can't wait to see them painted...
How many Ork Trukks did you use to make those scratch builds?
Also what are you using to make the "rivets?" It looks like some sort of metal, and a heck of a lot easier then trying to do that from plasticard!

[AoM]

they look to be small finishing nails/pins. drill where you want them, cut them to length, drop 'em in.

[themurphyfella]

the scratch builds took a total of one trukk plus a spare side piece for the rear.
The Humvee gun and turret came from a spare vehicle sprue
So 3 trukks for the price of 2

Job's a good un.

The rivets came from a friend.
He works in a factory where they have one job that punches very small holes in thin metal sheet. He scooped me a bag of the waste

I'm gonna have to talk to him about getting more and selling them on eBay judging by the number of inquiries I've had

[themurphyfella]

Oh yea got them base coated at the weekend

The undercoat helped bring the trukk together


Want to take it for a test run sir?
Oh suits you sir, yes , suits you.


Da Ard boys is impressed with their new ride

Great looking trukks!

So after your friend gave you a bag full of metal dots, I'm guessing you placed them all by hand? All nice and neat? That's not very orky of you! Tsk!

I'll be following this thread to see how they progress! Remember, Red wunz go fasta!

LOL
They're "mostly" neat.
I figured I'd get away with the untidyness because it's orky.

I am one of the original Speed freeks. the only problem I have at the moment is trying to find the brightest red
That and deciding on which of the techniques from the FW masterclass book to use

Definatly some awsome trukks. But I also have to compliment you on the Ard Boyz, They look like a big mash of Nobs, Black Orcs, and Blood Bowl Orcs :P Definatly a unique and strikeing result.

[Aldramelech]

Mmmmmmm Shiny Stuff!
