Thank you so much for these wonderful old miniatures you send me Simon! They remind me of old times!

Thanks for sending them over! I will integrate them into my growing Ork Waaagh

Red ones go fasta !

And another Gretchin. An admirer of the cult of speed, so his clothes have to be red, because every green skin knows ” redbones go fasta!”

Gretchin No 2

Here is the second Gretchin I painted. The bigger the gun the better!

Only ten more to go and the Herder.

“Da Waagh Dreambraka”

“Oye boyz, dis is da waaagh Dreambraka!!! Wee do kill dem humies”

Here is the start of Big Mega Oberboss Skatagas Dreambrakas aka onehorn Waaagh. You should never call him onehorn to his face just ask the gits what happens then, as long as they can still answer 😉

This is “Shkul da meanest” Gretchin of the pack. Armed with two shootas he is a formidable foe, at least that is what he thinks.

More to come!!

The build is complete

Here are the pictures of the last additions to my Thunderhawk gunship. The only thing missing is the hard points for the hell strike missiles.

Next Step will be a coat of PVA mixt with black paint to make it more resilient against damage . The black paint is added to be able to see that the PVA was brushed on the complete model , it also makes it easier when I start to add rivets and screws to the model as these are made from magic sculpt , which is white when dry. So I can see more easily where I mist some.

Progress on my Space Marine gunship

I did some more work on my Thunderhawk gunship over the last weeks .

I did some more work on the underside of the fuselage and the main wings and engines.

I added the attack wings which are magnetized to make them movable. Here is a short video about the attack wings moving:

Here are a few pictures of the gunship. The weapons and landing gear are still missing.

Here is the Landinggear:

And here is what it looks like at the moment:

The 4 twin heavy bolsters at the nose of the fuselage and under the main wings as well as the hell strike missiles are still missing. When these are added a first basecoat of a mixture of PVA and paint will be applied to harden the polystyrene. Then I will add rivets and screws and then painting will start. So a lot more work to do but I think most of the work has been done.
