Trash Kan in the works

I've been working on this Trash Kan for the last couple days (when my kids allow me).













Constructive criticism appreciated.

HAHAH! This is PERFECT! HA!!! A pot of paint... would be better if you have left the 'Goblin Green' sticker! HAHAHA! Excellent use of parts... it really looks like a 'crappy' first attempt of a Killa-Kan, which on itself is a 'crappy' version of a Ork Dreadnought!

WONDERFUL WORK! Question... where is the Gretchin from? Love the little guy!

The little feller is a Gnoblar from the Ogre Kingdoms army.

VERY COOL & IMAGINATIVE, moggd! GREAT use of bits & thingies at hand. VERY WELL DONE...thus far.

i like it a lot very orky in its design

Good work :-), very "goblin" :-).

Wanna see it painted :-)

Holy cow that's awesome. Very Orkish, very... scapish!

Great stuff! In true ork fashion. This recycling thing is a good idea. Never knew orks are so environment aware ... Keep it up!

Hey! It's Orky-R2D2

How did I miss this? Genius, Hilarious model This is unlike anything I would do (and I mean that as a compliment!).

Have you got any further with it?

Laney

I've got it mostly? painted, just need to finisht it up and add some highlighting/wash to it. I will try to post a WIP pic today or tomorrow.

It is a great compliment coming from you Laney! Thanks!

Thanks for bringing this back to light kadafwer and Laney. I didn't comment at the time (why on Earth not?) but it is a very nice model. I'd have been tempted to dremel or cut off the text you have hidden on the back of the model but it probably wouldn't have actually improved the model!

Would love to see the paint job on this beauty, even if it is only WiP.

Here are some WIP photos, I had to put all hobby stuff away for the holidays and have yet to get it back out. I thought I was a little further along on it than I am. Family first, right?







Painting straight lines apparently isn't my thing. They look so much worse in the photo. I'm going to have to try to do something about that.

Grrr. Damn internet stole my post!

I wouldn't worry about the straight lines too much, even a young Mek would have better things to do than paint straight lines! Even giving it 'go fasta' job would only take about 10 minutes (or might be delegated to the grots) so I wouldn't worry too much about getting it perfect.
The paint also hides the extruded font on the pot - so I think you can safely ignore my advice.

I remember reading a post in the GW blog about someone painting stripes onto the 'dozer blade of their Iron Warrior (I think) Vanquisher and how they intentionally 'bent' the lines because the human eye will 'correct' it. On a rounded surface I think this is doubly a consideration - the human eye will tend to perceive things in unpredictable ways.

The lines do look cleaner than in the photo, (don't know what the deal with that is) and those letters might show a little more once I highlight/wash it. I do remember reading the post about the dozer blade now that you mention it. I don't feel bad about it now. Thanks Jammey!

The stripes look fine...you might consider running a line of a brighter yellow down the center of the yellow stripes & a line of red-orange down the red. It definitely is turning out UBERCOOL!

Awesome... it even looks HAPPY to ... kill me? HAHAH! Great conversion man... funny as hell! Love it!

not bad! But:
1 - front side of trunk is too plain. I will be add some gliphs from greenstuff or paper/plastic ...

2 - quantity of burr (fin, flash ?...) broke my heart.... so job well - clear figs from crap! )))

I must agree with both your points, I need to find something to fill in the empty space. About the flash, I know it is an eyesore, but I would rather just paint them with my limited time than worry about some of it. I know BLASPHEMY!! Maybe it's a little laziness thrown in there as well

Thanks for the CC!

Wow this great!
You just convinced my friend to play Orks instead of Scouts!
And looks indeed happy!

nice use of bitz. consider some of your ideas stolen! Although I like my mad wheels as there is no way they should work
