The white stuff is indeed styrene rod and tube and the like. The clear stuff is called extruded polycarbonate. It\'s much stronger than the styrene and obviously transparent. And it\'s not the same stuff Han Solo was frozen in...

I have to ask: How do you get the clean bends in your plasticard?
I guess that he applies heat on the parts he wants to be bent. Using a hairdrier or a heatgun could be likely.
I did a work training at a prop of an opera house and there they bent plastic with heat...
But since I don´t even recognise the bloody styrene I should keep my two pennies...^^ At any rate... This is a great project and I´m starting to hate the man a little bit because I´m getting more and more jealous everytime I visit the thread... lol

i think you can also use hot water to make it more bendable

It\'s not actually plasticard. It\'s cardboard
I\'ve done some work on the trailer but .. meh .. not happy. It looks like a frikkin iron duck! While I was building it I had another thought though - I could use the Brass Scorpion rules. I\'ve got a few cool fluff ideas too:
A painboy and a big mek came up with an idea after seeing one of them Chaos boyz Brass Scorpions about making one that was driven by a weirdboy. Strangely enough, they managed to trap one and his grot \"assistants\" and hardwired him into the machine and thought it would be a great machine for the waagh! Instead the weirdboy went bonkers (more than normal), as a result of them being confined with the weird boy for too long so did the grots, so now they are crazy the weird boy is crazy and they\'re all dangerous to know.
The painboy and the mek thought it was hilarious watching the psychos destroy half their camp, but then realised that having a shortage of orks afterwards wasn\'t that good an idea. So they worked out how to sedate the whole thing and then let it loose in battle.
I\'ll count the apocalyptic explosion rules as \"You ain\'t takin us alive!\" (self destruct), BS3 because Grots are shooting, Ignore shaken and stunned because they\'re all nuts anyways, and guns as eksperimental weird boy wepons.
Anyway, enough blather:
I don\'t think I like the trailer. It seemed like a cool idea, but it looks like a duck. A big metal boomy duck.

WOW, impressive and sådan (as you would say in Danish). That is really good and every thing is cool looking - well except for the Iron Duck, I see what you mean. I would get rid of it completely, it\'s way to bulky and different from the \"spider\" itself. Maybe you could make a couple of lower-level platforms under it\'s hull for mounting guns. Or maybe even near the top joints on the legs, the grots would have to hold on desperately while trying to fire their guns as well.

Lol - Monty Python ork army. What an idea... I\'m not gonna do it - that\'s just insanity!
On another note, I just got information today that the buyer of the Stompa received it today in no less than 28 pieces! :shock: Apparently customs opened the box and it would appear the mongrels have failed to re-pack the item correctly. As a result the stompa has been badly damaged. Hopefully it can be repaired. But it\'s in the Netherlands and I am in Australia. What a sad turn of events on this issue.

Ok, here is Da Klaw of Gork finished. Just awaiting undercoating now. I am still working on what the equivalent weapons are, at this point it will probably be Killkannon, Supa Skorcha, and Mega Dakka Gun. They won\'t be exact and there will be slight differences but I need to check up all the rules to make it work.

Yeah, it\'s a bummer. But the guy knew what to expect getting it sent so far. Not to worry, he\'ll work it out. The damage actually doesn\'t look so bad I\'ve seen some more pics, it wouldn\'t take much time to repair, just fiddly.
This is todays business, I\'ve started doing some more koptas.
Now I have these guns sitting around and think they look great from the front but weird from the side - lemme know what you reckon:

maybe just have one gun on one side and the other be a ammo drum with the power/ammo feeds on the other. That way you get two guns for the price of one
They look more like rocket pods (cobra/hind-D gun ships) then guns.
maybe a little longer on the tails, and not to sure on the staggering on the props, but thats just M2C.

Ok, here\'s a small update and a link to the data sheet. I\'ve built most of the second kopta, I intend to make three more and I\'ll try and make them according to the pictures of the deff koptas in the codex. And you can see a pic of duckie with a mock up set of tracks. I don\'t know if I\'ll continue, but we\'ll see.
And a previous \"kopta\" with a shortened base, coz it kept falling over.

Well, here\'s a small update, I got this early for my birthday (which is tomorrow) - what can I say - my brother rocks! And to prove that he came third in an air guitar comp...half cut...that\'s another story:
And here is the truck, which I LOVE by the way. This is another awesome model that GW has brought out in recent time and I wasn\'t even going to modify it, except that I don\'t like the front they provide standard and I wanted it to be equipped with a rokkit and I was gonna make a big snippy arm instead of the chain ball but the chain ball looked cooler than the arm I started making so I kept it....
Close up of the rocket assembly - it\'s a bit oversized but that\'s really orky!
One thing I\'ve thought of that would be AWESOME is to cut the trukk in half between the back set of wheels and convert it into a war buggy. That would look sweet. Now to get more of the new trukks...cheaply...
