Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab

Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab

Designed by Will Hayes and Phil Stutcinskas. (a hybrid resin and plastic model using the Ork Trukk kit). —The model makes for a great alternative for your Trukk fleet as well as an excellent base for your own conversions. Its enclosed cab can also be used to represent the Armour Plates upgrade on a trukk.

This Trukk model also includes a folding platform at the rear. This in my opinion is much better than the plastic platform included with the plastic kit.

I made my with the sides fixed in the upright position.

The chassis was constructed as per the instructions, though like my other Trukk as I had spare wheels I gave the model all rounded wheels rather than the mix that comes as standard with the kit.

The next step will be a white undercoat.

Going back to the Ork Halftrakk

January 2008 saw the release of the new Ork Trukk. I had expected to see some Forge World conversion kits relatively quickly, however though we saw the Flakk Wagon at GamesDay 2008, it wasn’t until July 2009 that we saw the first actual Forge World variant Ork Trukk kit, the Ork Half Trakk.

This has a considerable amount of resin for the tracks, new front wheels and a new engine.

I had very little warpage with this model, but I did have a shrinkage probem with the tracks, which I fixed with plastic rod.

The chassis was then given a black undercoat using spray paint. I then drybrushed the whole chassis with Tin Bitz. The flatbed was sprayed with a Humbrol brown paint. I then gave it a wash of Devlan Mud. I added some more washes to the body of the Half Trakk using Devlan Brown and Badab Black.

The engine needs work and the whole thing also needs more weathering.

Then there is the main weapon and the krew.

Forgeworld Ork Aircraft Traktor

The Ork Aircraft Traktor is used to taxi Ork aircraft in position to launch, where it takes off discarding the launch trolley. the Aircraft Traktor also recovers landed Ork aircraft for refueling.

One of the gifts I got for a birthday many years ago was the Forgeworld Ork Aircraft Traktor and Launch Trolley.

One of the reasons I asked for it was not just because I have an Ork Fighter Bommer on the workbench but also as on the Forgeworld website it said: Be warned, stock of this model is starting to run low!

Then they stopped selling it.

The model consists of the plastic Wartrakk and some resin pieces.

I have nearly finished painting it, so decided it was time I did finish painting it.

I gave the model a black undercoat. I followed this with a drybrush of Tin Bitz. I then gave the model a heavy drybrush of Boltgun Metal. I then added a lot of rust using Chestnut Ink mixed with some Blazing Orange to remove the gloss from the ink.

I touched up the motorcycle fuel tank with some white paint.

This is quite a rare model.

Launcha for the Grot Bomb Launcha

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models.  I have three of these, one is finished, the other two are a work in progress.

I found the chassis of one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders. Having painted the chassis with a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher. I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade. I drybrushed the model. I gave the tracks a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown, followed by a lighter drybrush of Leadbelcher.

The launcher system (launcha) was already painted black and drybrushed with a metallic paint. Though I think this one was from my other Grot Bomb Launcha.

I touched up the white paint on the Grot Bomb pilot to later paint with green flesh tones.

I also need to paint the driver. Well I also need to find the driver as well.

Still some work to do.

See the workbench feature on the Grot Bomb Launcha.

Found the missing part

The Land Raider is an Imperial main battle tank and troop transport which serves as the “armoured fist of the Space Marines.”The Land Raider’s heritage predates even the founding of the Imperium of Man, yet it remains the single most destructive weapon in the Adeptus Astartes’ arsenal. The Mark IIb Land Raider Phobos is one of the earliest marks of the standard pattern of Land Raider. The Mark IIb Land Raider Phobos is the only pattern of the standard Land Raider Phobos that uses the older armoured sponsons, as they do not allow the weapons they hold to fully rotate.

I got a Forge World MkIIB Land Raider and was originally painting it up as a Grey Knights Land Raider in desert camouflage.

I wrote up some reflections recently on my MkIIB Land Raider, on the current state of the painting and what I needed to do next.

I also noticed that there is a part missing the, the hull top front bolters. I will have to find where I put that piece.

Well I was pleased to find the missing parts and these have now been reunited with the Land Raider.

Forge World MkIIB Land Raider

Still got to decide what colour I will be painting the model.

Further work on my Grot Bomb Launcha

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models.  I have three of these, one is finished, the other two are a work in progress.

I found the chassis of one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders. Having painted the chassis with a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust, I used some other brown paints to paint the boxes on the chassis. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher. I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade.

I then drybrushed the model with various shades of brown. I found the tracks. These had been undercoated black. I gave them a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown, followed by a lighter drybrush of Leadbelcher.

I also used Leadbelcher lightly on the motorcycle engine.

I had already painted the fuel tank.

More work to do.

Making progress on the Repressor

The Repressor tank is often used by Sisters of Battle as transport, and by the Adeptus Arbites in an anti insurgency role. I said  in a blog post back in 2004.

“I do like this model and I am intending to get one to use with my Daemonhunters army as a transport for the Storm Troopers”.

I did get one that Christmas as a present. Though I actually started building and painting this model back in 2007, I recently retrieved it from storage and decided that I would try and finish painting it. I realised I had made quite significant progress.

Having sprayed the model with Citadel Zandri Dust. I started the detailing, using Leadbelcher on the weapons and the exhausts. The next step was painting the iconography and purity seals.

Here is the Repressor with the dozer blade and turret.

I had used shades on the blade and the turret. I still have some work to do on the iconography before I shade the rest of the vehicle.

Painting the Grot Bomb Launcha Mk II

The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite models. I already have a workbench feature on that Grot Bomb Launcha however I did get another model of one at GamesDay 2005.

I found the chassis of this one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders. Having painted the chassis with a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust, I used some other brown paints to paint the boxes on the chassis. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher.

I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade.

The next stage will be a drybrush.

Purity Seals on the Repressor

The Repressor tank is often used by Sisters of Battle as transport, and by the Adeptus Arbites in an anti insurgency role. I said  in a blog post back in 2004.

“I do like this model and I am intending to get one to use with my Daemonhunters army as a transport for the Storm Troopers”.

I did get one that Christmas as a present. Though I actually started building and painting this model back in 2007, I recently retrieved it from storage and decided that I would try and finish painting it. I realised I had made quite significant progress.

Having sprayed the model with Citadel Zandri Dust. I started the detailing, using Leadbelcher on the weapons and the exhausts. The next step was painting the iconography and purity seals. For the skull I used Ushabti Bone.

I painted the purity seals using Ushabti Bone for the paper and for the wax seals I used Mephiston Red.

Painting tracks

Having started repainting my Land Raider, a MkIIb Land Raider, the Razorback and the Repressor, I decided to paint the tracks. Having liked what I did with the Deimos-pattern Rhino tracks, I went with the same process.

I had done a few different things with the different tracks, but most had a black undercoat.

I gave the Land Raider tracks a spray of Mechanicus Standard Grey.

I did the same for the Rhino tracks.

The tracks for the Deimos-pattern Rhino are much better than the tracks you get with the Rhino kit.

The next step will be a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown, then a wash of Agrax Earthshade Shade. The tracks will be finished off with a light drybrush, first with Leadbelcher, then Terminatus Stone.
