And another selection. 4 picture limit is a pain.

#Orks #Gobsmasha #LootedWagon #40K

Calling it done.

And yes, the banner is very impractical.

#Orks #Gobsmasha #LootedWagon #SpeedFreaks #40k #EvilSunz #OrkBattleWagon #OrkGunTrukk

Almost done...

Banner 95% complete. Added some trophies.

Going off adding a gunshield, so this may be completed tomorrow.

That will also see the rivets total announced.

Bit more pottering about with the banner.

Very WIP.

#Orks #Gobsmasha #LootedWagon #40k #SpeedFreaks #EvilSunz

I forgot to post yesterday.

But here's Da Choppa completed.

Overall I was pleased how it turned out. Some things could have been better that I would do differently in hindsight, but plenty I liked.

#Orktober #LootedWagon #Orks #40K #Warhammer #LootedShadowsword #Mekaniak #Mekboy #DaChoppa

A few more details at the rear, a Mekboy krewman and a picture showing how the tank breaks down.

Tomorrow I'll show the finished, pre painted, tank.

An update.

It has to have a banner, keeping with the old school vibe.

So, mocked this up tonight.

Flamin' Ork skull. Will be same on both sides. May have cross piece to support the flames.

#Orks #Gobsmasha #40k #LootedWagon #OrkConversion

Kaptin and his mate, banna' pole, armoured side skirts (magnetised) and the support for the main guns.

#Orktober #LootedWagon #Orks #40K #Warhammer #LootedShadowsword #Mekaniak #Mekboy

The rear of the superstructure got detailed up with gubbins, hatches, exhausts, stowage and others bits.

The turret coming together, with its Mekboy special gun.

More on Da Choppa, superstructure built up and detailing going on.

#Orktober #LootedWagon #Orks #40K #Warhammer #LootedShadowsword

For Orktober, how about an old project I've only ever shown on here as a finished build.

Da Choppa, aka Looted Shadowsword.

Compared to some of my other builds not too mad as I didn't extend/widen the hull etc.

#Orktober #LootedWagon #Orks #40K #Warhammer #LootedShadowsword

Decided not to try and add sponsons, i think it would spoil the look and just not be worth squeezing them in.

It meant I could finish off the sides.

66 rivets added.

Still to do:
1. Gunshield.
2. Banner.

#Orks #Gobsmasha #LootedWagon #40K #Warhammer

Had to take a short break, but back to it.

Adding the two weapons was an utter ballache. Not hugely happy, but they'll have to do. They are removable, just in case.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #40k #LootedWagon

The two sides are plated up and the wheel axle gubbins is in place.

Details, rivets and sponsons to add...but not till the weekend.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon

With the wheels on.

Next is the side panels.

We are up to 1528 rivets now.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon #DaRivetOff2

So the front and top is done I think.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon

I hit it lucky and found a main weapon in my bits box.

Needs some clean-up, but I've started cutting the front panel and sorting its fitting.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon

And there is the internal detail, 90% of you will never probably see.

Need to add a fuel cap over the pipe, otherwise you'll get all sorts into the fuel tank.

Update on the rivet count...1291.

Things I need to do now includes a banner.

#DaRivetOff2 #Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon #40K #OrkTank

More progress, working round the body.

Top panels not all glued yet. Also need to add in the exhausts.

Did some internal details to see through a hatch.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon #40K #OrkTank

Lower panels are in and detailed.

Started there as it didn't involve making any big decisions.

163 rivets added there.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon

The wheels are done.

All weldlines and rivets added.

#Gobsmasha #Orks #LootedWagon #40K #Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity

So far three people have made a guess on here over a week, though plenty more liked the post. Meanwhile I've had 10 from Instagram in a day...

Why not have a guess, what can you lose?

I've even put together a pic for it.

Closes 18/11/25

#DaRivetOff2 #Orks #LootedWagon

The first wheel is almost done.

It's very chunky as Barry shows.

First pic is the outer face, second pic is the inner face.

Still need to add detail to the plates, big chunky rivets needed on those.

Talking of rivets, it has 116 so far.

#Orks #Gobsmasha #Ork #40k #OrkConversion #LootedWagon

I added some more details and damage, bulked out base more and gave it a quick coat of grey.

Highlighted some bits that needed work, so did those.

Also filled it in under the hull. Prob not needed.

#Orks #Grots #LootedWagon #40K #Warhammer #WarhammerCommunity

Behind on updates.

Interior looked bland, added some plates and decoration.

Added a bemused Grot crewman.

Very close to finishing. Just some details and finalise base.

#Ork #Grot #LootedWagon #40K

Time for Dakka.

Went for big shootas, but didn't have any, so made do. Added some ports underneath so the grot gunners don't drown in used rounds.

#Orks #LootedWagon #Dakka #40k

Progress from last night.

Started adding dags and some checks.

Removed some panelling and added Orky replacement.

Plus, better pic of the top area.

#Ork #Orks #LootedWagon #NoPlanJustLoot #40K

Done more this evening, but will wait till tomorrow to get some pictures.

Also spent some time cutting rivets, build up the numbers so I don't have to keep stopping to cut them as I need them.

#NoPlanninJustLootin #RivetsAreLife #IfInDoubtAddMoreRivets
#40K #Orks #LootedWagon

Going to do a couple of sessions today.

Here is no. 1.

Went for a fan for the upper panel.

Also, adding a camera on a stick, so the driver can see where he's going. May add a cable to it. Not glued yet so a can decide on height.
