The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Carrot and Stick

A little more progress. A little messy, too, but the finished version should look bolted together a little better. Sorry for crappy pictures, I'll try and get better ones next time.

 

The turret isn't attached yet, just putting it there to get an idea. The driver's going to get fenced in behind some dense wire mesh and I'm going to have a gretchin hanging off the exterior with a spyglass in his hand. The fencing'll probably go on after the model's primed so I have a chance at painting the interior of the driver and all that. I did bulk him up a bit, using normal scale boy parts instead of the driver model I had from a war buggy. I also need to put pipes and all sorts of miscellaneous mechanics in there with him.

The Zzap gun, and the sides of where da boyz sit in the back of the wagon are going to be protected by wooden planking. I'm trying to figure out how I want to go about making the rokkit launchas on either side of the cab at the moment.

I plan on putting mounts for bolt-on big shootas on the tops of both of the rear fenders and most likely removable mounts on the sides for the drivers to hang off and gun from, also. There'll be a protruding engine coming out of the back, I think, as well as a pair of exhausts coming up at least as high as the rear fenders. There also needs to be a huge exhaust on the bare side, but I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to go about making it.

It's getting a plow that will slot in under the front armor plating that I've put so far that I still need to make in place of a death roller since I think a roller on the front of this thing would almost ruin the 'battering ram' appearance of the front that I'm going for.

The Zzap gun'll get a front guard since I do like that idea. I've actually been thinking of getting some LEDs and putting in working headlights and lights above the windshield on the front in those two holes on either side of the orky emblem I made. It'd be kinda cool to see. Then again, I may just stick some gun barrels out of them to make it seem like there are orks above the driver in the front section shooting out of those holes. Haven't decided yet.
