After a lot of work Trukk #4 is done. My goal was to make it more like a 40's or 50's Ford/Chevy truck
I do mean a lot of work. It was much more work then the cab-over because I had to fit pieces to the GW kit instead of just scratch building.
But after what..2 weeks? of work it's finally done and I can't be happier. Opening doors, hood and tailgate. Strait sides on the bed. I love it.
Anyway next project up is more Imperial Fist commission work..namely a Storm Talon.
A blog dedicated to my Warhammer 40k Ork army, as well as my other endevours: Dark Angels, Tau, and Orcs & Goblins. Modeling, converting, gaming, tactics and more!

Trukk #4, teaser 3
As it turns out, this Trukk is taking longer then the cab-over scratch build.
But here is another teaser...
I'm still not even close to done.

Teaser - Trukk #4
Work has started on Trukk #4 already.
It may not seem like much, until you realize the firewall on the stock kit isn't flat, but sits farther back on the driver side. This was a bit of work to get a strait firewall. I also removed the scoop from the engine..
As always, more to come.

Custom Ork Trukk #3 build complete!
This one was a LOT more work then the last two, but was totally worth it.
First, I extended the rear frame just enough to hold the third axle. I then cut the front and middle of the frame to shorten it up. I carefully spaced the 3rd axle using the leaf springs and drive shaft from the other kit so it was spaced just right.
The biggest issue was the engine, I simply didn't have enough room for it. I butchered it and made it fit into the space I had, so it only just looks like an engine enough to call it good.
The doors were almost an afterthought, and now I'm glad I did. That way I can take the driver out to paint it separately and then glue him in place later.
I decided to leave it a flatbed because I thought it looked cool and that way I can use it for other things..like a flakkatrukk later if I want.
I didn't magnetize anything because I figure the primer and paint in the hinges will keep the doors closed, and the cab does not really need one at all.
Anyway, pics!
