Painted 28mm Pig Iron Miniatures Feral Ork Bodged Tank.

.......the last of the feral armour, tommorow a group shot and then they go on ebay.

I have no idea which part of my mind this came from, some pieces from the bits box, a small ebay purchase and a 28mm cargo container from my modern scenery range and hey presto madness. Fun to try and make things work and I like how it turned out but it is a bit over the top but that bodging for you. There is also some tau parts, 1/48th scale WW2 engine and sandbag parts but mostly WH40K ork parts.

My Painted and Bodged WH40K Stormraven Gunship.

..........now painted and even more bodged gunship due to stupidity illness.

Finally painted the Games Workshop WH40K Stormraven Gunship that I bodged in a recent post http://theangrylurker.blogspot.com/2011/02/games-workshop-wh40k-stormraven-gunship_23.html but I then made a bit of a gaff and glued the radar/sensor array on backwards but only noticed this when I had undercoated and started putting on the first coat of paint while sitting in front of the TV, now normally the model would have ended up in the fecking telly but reason prevailed and because SWMBO would have tried to kill me as she was sitting near (and she was the voice of reason). So got a hacksaw and cut the fecking crap off the gunship but it was a bit of a disaster and I ended up having to bodge something else together but it doesn't look as good but that's what Bell's Palsy does (well I'm blaming that because it couldn't be anything else?).

So it's now painted up for my Neo US forces and I know it looks like a flying skip but I think it conveys FUBAR about to handed out.

(Fucked up beyond all recognition) it's what I also call my dog!

After hacksawing and furious anger!!!!!!!

It's a bit of an unstable beast on it's flying frame but it's a beauty.

Bodging Games Workshop WH40K Ork Trukks for 28mm Pig Iron Ferals.

.....or how Valentines Day kept giving.

You may remember how I got a Games Workshop WH40K Strormraven Gunship as a present for valentines day but a couple of days later I got another one as an illness present from a very good friend (Bell's Palsy has some benefits:D) but I didn't want 2 gunships so I brought back mine to the shop (with SWMBO permission) and they gave me these 2 Ork Trukk models for the same price (£20.50 each, good grief I thought) but they are excellent little kits with loads of potential for bodging (angry scratchbuilding) and I posted some pics for scale and size comparisons with 28mm Pig Iron feral miniatures if you ever thought of being this weird, they are great kits and as I said you don't have to follow all the instructions in the box.

Some of the extra pieces are from WH40K Ork Dreadnought pieces I had left over, plasticard, WH40K Valkyrie pieces, an old crow piece and 1/48 scale WW2 sandbags (probably a bit big but it's called bodging). 

What they look like on the box or after follwimg the exact instructions.

Games Workshop WH40K Stormraven Gunship Bodging and Comparison Pictures

....bodging a sensor/targetting array to the gunship.

Finally made my Valentines day gift ( I like making kits), this one had a few areas where things didn't fit exactly as they shoud and required bodging (angry scratchbuilding) like cutting pieces to fit but maybe it was just me. I finished it after a couple of hours over a few days and I must say it's a lovely bit of kit and will fit in well with what I want it for but I have never gotten to grips with the top mounted firing point (it just looks out of place to me) so I decided I would change it by putting something else there, hence the bodging and I must admit I like it and I moved some guns to under the wings (madness I know).

The new piece is made from 2 sensor pieces from the company Old Crow Models, a GW piece that I have no idea what it's from (was in my bits box) and something from an office board (???) but it was in the bits box. I then did some size and comparison pictures for others who might like to own this model (in it's original state probably, hope it helps and bodging is king!

The piece replaced is seen here, the cockpit with the gatling guns.
