r/ork_kitbashing

Last night, as I was picking through my bits while working on building another trukk, I went into some sort of fugue state. When I came to I was holding a fully assembled Wartrakk.

The base model for the trakk was one of the Galvanic Servohaulers. I meticulously cut out the Cog Mechanicus from it's treads and replaced them with the plastic coin/tokens that come with the Blood Bowl Gouged Eye Orc team.

Added a bit from a Dakkajet here and some extra exhausts there. A couple Nob combi-shootas and some spare rokkits for the dakka.

The driver's torso & rokkit ammo backpack are from the 2008 boys kit attached to the legs from a 2021 boys.

I just need confirmation on the base size.

I got sidetracked from working on my stompa, and the cab from a cement truck transformers toy (This one) kept eyeing me from my bits box.

The cab is built normal (behind all the extra armour) but I completely cut and reshaped the chassis to fit the trukk dimensions, before building the truckbed.

Beside's from the transformers toy, The rest is mostly toy parts, printer parts and jewelry chain. the hubcaps on the wheels are blades from a paper-shredder, and washers. the curved panels holding up the wreckin' ball are PVC drainpipe - a great crafting material that's cheap and easy to work with

I'm particularly happy with how the the Wreckin' ball turned out, as well as the the spiked bumper (as proxy for the spiked wheels) and the exposed fuel tank (made from a plumbing fitting.) Less happy with the exhaust pipes/smokestacks (which look kinda janky) and the rear end (which I'm probably going to have another look at with fresh eyes at some point. Overall very happy with how it turned out.

Hopefully at some point I'll stop procrastinating and finish something lol.

Had alot of fun painting this bad boy up!

After seeing a similar thing made primarily using the Stormboyz kit, I had a go at making my own from basically junk. Photos show all the finished models, then the first in made, partially and fully painted from several angles, then the magnetic posable flight stand.

The grotjets are made from a combination of primarily paper, paper straw, Graphix medium chipboard, thin card/thick paper, bamboo skewer, a magnet and a lid from a mini soy sauce bottle. Depending on the model, also used were guns clipped from cheap army men, tube from disposable mechanical pencils, tube from a spray bottle, cocktail sticks and a hemispherical bead.

The stands are made from 32mm bases (so they could be used as Stromboyz proxies), armature wire, heat shrink tubing, paper, a magnet, limestone chippings, sharp sand and, underneath, metal pellets from a broken ankle weight to add more weight to the base.

Im not totally pleased with the turbine engine at the back ant the weathering need some tips there

Just finished a looted tank for the Blood Axes of my growing Waaagh!

11th Edition Launch Box hyped me into finally coming back to the best army for Looting/Kitbashing.

*edit: obviously it should be: Blood Axes Looted Rhino :x

More photos in the comments.

Have now built everything for my junk stompa. Newly added is the head, the glyph on the chest representing my custom clan The Zzap Ratz and the structural reinforcement on the smokestacks. For the head I went for a single, wide open window, because in general I'm trying to give my builds a construction equipment aesthetic. I might add mesh to the inside of the window (thoughts appreciated). I've also paneled up the bottom (unphotographed.) I don't even know how I'd start to get a photo of that, its pretty boring anyway.

first four parts:

Here [3]
Here [4]

Next is gap filling, and riveting the whole thing - if anyone has some advice about what what products to use and how to do for either of those steps I'm fully out of my depth - I have acrylic modelling paste for gap-filling and nail beads and thin CA glue for rivets but have heard differing opinions on if these are good options

I'll be working on this lil junk yard jalopy tomorrow on Twitch stream. MrMetGCS. Mon. 10a-??p, Wed&Fri. 10a-noon. Bring ya bitz, ya gitz!
