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.
Here is how the Trukk looks with a Kannon.
See the workbench feature on this Ork Trukk.
I decided to use a Humbrol Dark Green spray on the flatbed of my Ork Trukk.
Having sprayed the flatbed I started to weather it and gave it a wash of Devlan Mud.

One of the advantages of getting the Forge World Half Trakk was getting extra wheels for use on another Trukk model.
As you can see from this chassis I have used one type of wheel, the “squarer” sort, for the rear wheels.
After constructing the chassis I gave it a black undercoat.

My Ork Trukk was undercoated, in the main black but with some components in white.
This is how the undercoated model is looking.

From the Forge World displays at GamesDay 2009 a plastic Ork Trukk with Big Zzappa.
There were many of the new Forge World models on display at GamesDay 2009 including the excellent Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab.
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. This is the same platform which we see on the long awaited Flakk Wagon.
This model is shown with the new Big Lobba. Now I don’t really like this weapon that much. Not sure what it does, but I know I don’t like it.
When it comes to painting my Ork Trukk, though at the unpainted stage it looks like this….
It isn’t in fact all stuck together.
However, this gives you an indication of how it all fits together.

The cab is separate…
As is the cargo bed. I included the ramps and “rollbars” though for future models I probably won’t. Aiming to have a variety of Ork Trukks, not a production line!
The gunner cupola went together pretty easily, though I kept the Ork gunner separate for painting. I have also kept both him…
…and the driver separate from their respective places in the cab.
The reason is that the cab and cargo bed, will be painted a different colour, whilst the chassis and the crew will be undercoated in black and be drybrushed.
