Here is a few shots of “Da Wot Notâ€. My plan is to do a bunch of plates on the prow. I’m thinking the front gun from the original Cobra is going to get cut off and I may attempt to add a small engine with a suppa blowa. Although being that the space is so small it may just get some plates there. I’m going to find some more places to add some more plates overall, and I think I’m going to call it done. “Dang†did I just say done? I’ve still got to add some kind of engine set up to the back, but I wanted to get the front half right first. I also need to do a bit more work on Da top Gun. Perhaps a small deck for it to sit on, something is lacking there. I have this vision of this thing covered in plates, but unfortunately there is only so much room, and it is tight space to work with. I want to orkify it, while still making it recognizable as a Cobra. I’m finding it a tough balancing act…………..
I added teef to the prow of “Da Dagga Kart†as a request for a good friend of mine. Building the teef was a bit like wrestling with a Rippa Squig , but not too bad. I added some serious blast damage to the hull and then tried to show how Da Boyz stitched her up and made her fit to fight again. I’ve moved and built girders several times now and I think I like their final resting place. I will need to go back and work on the battle damage a bit, the problem is it is right at the mounting point (bad me), I worry a bit about the integrity of the mount so I have to watch that I don’t cut too deep. I going to try and trim the barrel of the old gun from the original Cobra to clean it up, but I just might need to add a new barrel. It’s hard to tell from the picture but I think the battle damage on the Port side wing came out pretty nice. I’m going to put some straight pipes coming out of the ribbed tubing piece to represent exhausts. I also think I’m getting close to calling it good on this build too. Same story I want it Orkifyed without losing the idea that it was once a Cobra. Over all the build is starting to get a bit messy, I should probably quit while I’m ahead, but man I just can’t help me self!
Ok in closing, I now going to try and build a blue stuff 2 piece mold of a Iconoclast Class Destroyer. I just hate to cut up a original metal one and besides green stuff is much nicer to work with. I was pretty happy with how my mold came out for me Cobras. The Iconoclast is going to be for Da Bosses Klan of dog faced mad boyz “Da Skull Take-kas†I’m kind of excited about the potential. Fingers crossed I can pull another 2 part press mold out of me hat. I’m going to add another Cobra, and will top off Da “Emperors Finest†with a Sword Class Frigate. I only have a Firestorm Frigate, but I figure after I mold it and cut it up and modify it nobody will notice the difference. And………… Just in case you’re wondering I’m still working on “Da Munga Fish†I just don’t have much to show you at this point. Ok as always thank you for reading and the support. It really helps me to stay focused and moving forward. Any comments, criticism or help is helpful. Thanks!
