Forward, slowly forward we go. So after getting some opinions I decided to Neuter Da Dog. Here is a shot of Da Munga’s prow without the big ring attached to the barrel of the lower right big shoota. I’m thinking it looks better, but on the other hand I’m not 100% sure. If you’ve been reading my posts I’m sure you know by now I tend to have a hard time making up my mind. It’s usually not too bad because Da boss in the end always has the final say. So for now Da Ring is gone, although in the end Da Boss my say “put it back ya useless git! How wez gonna keep dem bug eyes off of da ship without our big copper ring?†So to compensate and try and distract da bosses eye I did put in another turret on the leading edge of da gun stack. I gotz dis crazy klan of boyz that are just itching to man that post. The platform that the turret sits on was a little rough to build as the space was cramped. We will see how it looks when I throw paint on it. I’m a little worried about it, but at the same time I don’t feel it is so bad that I need to cut it out and take a second run at it. Also in this shot you can get a pretty good peek and the new engine shak and suppa blowa sitting up on the dorsal.
All of this decision making was hurting me head so I decided to step sideways for a bit. In honor of BFG:R I decided being a proper Blood Axe klan and all I’d work on some captured imperial escorts. It sayz that up to half of me escorts in a squad can be imperial escorts. So I went about having a cobra bash party. I’m pretty happy about this build to this point. Small and fiddly I must say. I’ve still got to do some engine work, and a little bit here and there, but I wanted you to have a peek. I’m not sure what to bash next. I figure I’ve probably got room for ummmmmmmm 3 more escorts. So my question to you imperial gitz is what is a good choice of imperial escorts to bash? ( I’m thinking about doing 2 Falchion class escorts as I like da look of dem, but again I’m not sure and could use your help!) I was also contemplating bashing a chaos escort so I could have a klan of dog faced killa boyz to represent in me bosses hoard. Ok I know I’m rambling, so I’ll get on with it. Here is “Da Wot Not†and “Da Dagga Kart†looking propa and orky now me thinks!
Ok so back to the main project. After neutering Da Dog I was on this make Da Boss happy page so I started work on me broad sides. My plan was just to use some imperial bitz but as I sat there looking at it I decided I needed to build me own. The first thing I’d need is a place me new shootas could call home. So I set about grinding, drilling and cutting. I then sat back and smiled. This will work……………. Oh, just a note the top fairing piece is just sitting there it is not glued and will be straighter and tied in better when we do the final dance.
Ok, now that I’ve got a home the next step was to build more Daka. I’ve made 2 different designs. I’m not sure which will end up living in me new holes. It may be a combination of both, or one type. We will see when we get there and I will defiantly keep you posted. I’m thinking I will need to cut down the barrels a bit, but I want to see how they fit in the finished holes first. I’ve still got at least one layer of plates to add to the sides of da ship to tie it together and this will create more depth. Perhaps requiring the longer barrels. We will see when we get there. Ok that is about what I got fer now. As usual thank you for reading and any comments, criticism or help is more than welcomed. Thanks!
