The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Bracing for impact

 

Things never seem to quite happen in the order I plan them with this trukk, but so be it. A lot of the newer changes are internal - I've repositioned the 9v sideways, which is practically a perfect fit - it slides in through the side doors after a bit of carving, and it's seated perfectly in there which means I can change it or fix the wiring if it ever comes to it.

I also glued a metal plate down underneath the planking, so now anything with a magnet in it's base'll end up sticking to the floor. Should make fixing the turret in place easier.

I obviously put sandbags all around the edges, which I think looks pretty good. There are some slightly large holes in the rear sandbag area, but I will be able to fix that without much of a problem by adding chains that loop through them to hold it together. These are Tamiya 1/48 scale sandbags, by the way - I think 1/35 would have been excessively large.

I put an engine component hanging out the back of the trukk in order to push the speed aspect of it - this is a Kult of Speed vehicle, after all, and excessive engines are key. It's not very integrated at the moment, but I will be building additional piping/wiring/exhausts leading from it. I think I'm just going to flat-out remove the rear drop-down door.

And, of course, it needs a removable turret. All in due time, though.
