Scarpia's Warhammer World - Epicast Gobsmasha

- UPDATED 27 JUNE 2004 - I payed way too much for this model on eBay, but wanted an original for my collection. There's a certain Goth I know who has good instructions on making your own, I would definitely recommend it!

I've had it sitting around for a month or two, and now that the weather is nice, I decided to start cutting outside.

Here are all the bitz.

The casting job is extremely poor. Take a look at the right front gun. The plasma gun is salvageable, but this one is an abortion.

So I removed it. You can see how the clean up process on the plasma gun is already helping.

Same thing on the rear end. These exhausts are awful.

So I drilled them out on the drill press.

I mounted the wheels and kannon.

Sort of a dumb lookin' rig, actually. But than again, it screams ork! Rumor has it the other gun on the front was a plasma as well, so the current plan is to replace the missing weapon with a plasma gun from a demolisher sponsoon - and that's the rule set we'll use for it - a looted demolisher.

I remembered that we need a place for the hull mounted weapon. This hatch from an Imperial Armor accessory sprue does nicely..

For the soon to be pintal mounted lascannon!

I actually found my missing plasma cannons from a real demolisher kit, and in preperation drilled a hole for pinning on this plate.

It took a lot of cutting down with the dremel to get the plasma cannon in - and now it looks better than the original. I toyed with the idea of replaceing the other one, but I think I want a more hap-hazard look - like one blew up, and was replaced with a newer version.
