WAAAGH update... looming deadline

Enjoying Day 2 of 11 days off! I have self imposed a deadline. Sometime during these days off I should be expecting my early access to the MMORPG game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Well knowing how much time that is going to eat up, I am trying to get at least another Mob of 12 figures, their Trukk, and an independent character painted up.So far it's looking good. I was able to finish the mob of boyz. Now onto the Trukk and the Independent Character.

I had a bit of a set back with my first Trukk that I posted pics in the previous post. In the game Orks have a vehicle upgrade called "Red Paint Job". For those not familiar with Warhammer 40,0000 when yo build an army list everything costs points. These points allow people with different armies to try and fight on an even ground when it comes to an army's points value. So you square off against another with say a 1500 point army. Well this upgrade allows the Ork vehicle to go faster. Because as every Ork knows, RED GOES FASTA! Well in Warhammer 40,000 there is a rule called WYSIWYG (pronounced Wizzy Wig, but means: What You See Is What You Get). Well If I had wanted to use the "red paint job" technically It has to be shown on the model. I thought the NOZ bottles I painted on the engine, would suffice. Well I had to pursue something a bit more drastic. I took some buckets from the Warhammer Fantasy Empire Great Cannon accessories sprue. Then scratch built a brush. Filled the bucket with glue.

 

Then I painted them up and placed one in the trukk bed. I then streaked Red paint on the front and sides of the trukk so it looks like a Grot or a Boy grabbed the brush and streaked some red paint on his trukk to make it go fasta! Here are the Results:

I made 2 buckets because I will also need another one for the 3rd Trukk since it will be Yellow.

Then I was able to finish my second mob. Here they are in all their Red and White glory. The Trukk when I finish will also match them.

Well that is all I have for now. Hopefully I will have at least 2 more models done by the time I can start okaying Star Wars The Old Republic.

Until next time, keep it pointed straight up there!
