Blog Tk'ya'pyk's Modeling Attempts (Scratchbashers Beware)

Ah, at the moment... none. I promised myself I would, y'know, FINISH some projects before I start new ones, so these need basing, primer, and paint along with a pile of other stuff I'm working on.

 

Love these guys!

 

Shhhh... Let your inner artist work

 

Okay. My inner artist bought 2 broken sets of Mangler Squigs off of ebay for less than the cost of one new box. That gave me 4 big (BIG) squigs to do something with...
So I did this:


I'm calling it a Squigga Kan! It needs more scrap plating on the turret (yes, that is the top of an old paint pot - it still opens, too, and I'm trying to decide if I want to leave it closed or open it and put a goblin inside). I'm going to use it as a Killa Kan for my all-squig Ork army. For scale, that is a 60mm base it is on.

 

Yeah, that is what others are saying too. I have three more to convert as well, so at least 1 will have an open turret.

 

Huzzah! I have turned a big squig into a tank!!! Behold: the SQUIGGA KAN!!!



...and yes, I need to fix the flash on my camera. Priming them should help, I'll re-photo them after priming.

 

Excellent conversion there mate!

And I've only just noticed that the paint pot top you used was from the mid-2000s GW paint pot design. I only ever had one of those, for Bleached Bone (Ushabti Bone now if you want to go by what 'new GW' call it). Those were the days...

 

Love it.

 

And now for something completely silly!!!

This... is a kit for a mecha from the Anime "Sakura Wars."



I took this, built it about, hmm, 95% of the way complete, and then added some glue and tossed it into my bits boxes! What does that give you???





ORK MECHA-DREAD!!!
I mean, clearly is isn't DONE. I need to add more glyph-plates, spikes, maybe some coarser rivets, some exhaust pipes, a boss-pole of some kind (because it is a tad short and that will make it taller), and something to represent the Mega-Dread's "Boombitz," whatever I decide those will be, but the general shape is there, right?
