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.

Revisiting Another Ork Trukk

Trukks are designed to transport mobs of choppa-wielding Boyz into combat as quickly as possible. The original Ork Trukk model was designed for Gorkamorka, and then became part of Warhammer 40K with Codex Orks. It was really way too small and needed to be updated, and updated it was back in January 2008 with the release of the new Ork Trukk.

I revisited another of my Ork Trukks in an earlier blog post.

The model was constructed as per the instructions, Generally I try and build as much of the model as possible to avoid having to glue painted parts together.

The chassis and wheels were the first parts I stuck together. As I had got the Forge World Ork Halftrakk I had some spare wheels, so rather than use the mix that is provided, I doubled up the wheels using the “squarer” wheels. This should give my Trukks a more diverse look.

The chassis was painted black and the flatbed was given a brown spray.

I am keeping the back of this truck quite clear of boarding ramps and armour as it will be a mobile weapons platform.

See how I made the Trukk.

Revisiting the Ork Trukk

The model was constructed as per the instructions, Generally I try and build as much of the model as possible to avoid having to glue painted parts together.

The chassis was painted black and the flatbed was given a green spray.

The flatbed has the side armour and broading ramps.

I gave the flatbed a wash, however I actually ran out of wash before I managed to finish it.

I need to finish off the shading of the flatbed.

See how I made the Trukk.

Reminds me, must get mine finished….

Ork Trukk with Krooz Missilz

Ork Trukk with Krooz Missulz (aka an Orkish version of the Imperial Deathstrike Missile Launcher, but why not use the Krooz Missulz rules for the Mega-Gargent.

This is a very simple conversion that I did a fair few years ago.

The model is built using a Flakwagon base, a firing platform from a Pulsa Rokitt and the Krooz Missulz? Well it’s a 40k scale Fighta-Bommer Missile.

Ork Trukk with Big Zzappa

Having fixed most of my Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab together, I decided to have a look to see how the Big Zzappa looked inside the flatbed.

Works well and as would be expected fits in very nicely.

Forge World Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab

Having taken the parts our of the bag and washed the resin pieces of the Forge World Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab the next stage was to start putting it together.

The resin cab is basically one piece to which the smaller parts fit very easily.

I decided to construct the flatbed with the sides up.

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.

Another view.

I do really like how different this kit (and the wheels) this makes the Ork Trukk look. As a result I won’t have a consistent style of Ork Trukk, just a ramshackle series of vehicles that may have a common heritage, but look all cobbled together from whatever was lying about in the Mek’s workshop.

Forge World Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab

This model was one of the many new Ork models released by Forge World in 2009.

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.

You also get the very thin Trukk box with two sprues, transfers and instructions.

Basecoating another Trukk Flatbed

Basecoated the flatbed of another of my Ork Trukks. This time with Humbrol Dark Brown.

This flatbed is kept simple, unlike my other Trukk. The flatbed was kept simple, no sides, no rollbars and no ramps. I do quite like how this looks, fast and speedy.
