Nothing like a pair of buzzsaws
Gettin' there!
I need to integrate them a little better, but I don't think it looks all that bad. Had to hack a lot of it down to make it all fit together smoothly, and I could probably use a bit of putty on the seams just to close the gap up. I actually hacked the two square vented parts off the back of the saws as I thought they looked a bit too long and awkward. This sets the saws a bit closer to the wrist, which I think helps keep the general aesthetic of the thing a bit cleaner. As clean as orks get, anyway.
Used a file to flatten down the insides of these, then pinned them together, and then pinned the back of the engine onto the wrist. I cut the wrist down a bit, too, with a jeweller's saw to get a flat surface for mounting the weapon on.
I'd like to beef that 'replacement' leg up a bit - making it look more compressed by shortening it a bit is one way of possibly doing that, but it's really such a pain in the ass to do something along those lines that I'm probably going to avoid it. I really want to come up with another way of reinforcing it a tiny bit, but at the same time I like the 'wow, that could give at any moment' look of it, so I need to find a comfortable middle ground.
