- UPDATED 24 August 2005 - Well, there are things to loot, and then there are things to loot. This one fell into the latter catagory...

I only got this days before Orkfest II and I wanted to use it, so it only got a quick loot. It will get extended attention at a later date.

fresh from ebay...
 
This comes apart on purpose, and I am intending on doing a battlefortress upgrade that will drop into the center at some point.
first part of orkifcation was to remove some of the cast rivits
and than add damage to the sides. To do this in a controlled manner, score the sides of the resin first (see the red area)
and than snap that off with pliers.
On the back, Gooba felt the motor was way too weedy
so he cut off this part here.
These weedy bolters have to go to.
 
 
Back to the engine, Gooba felt one large cylinder would help.
with fuel injection and a spark plug, of course.
the armor plate will cover the banged up side of the 'sword.
and here's the motor primed
The side of the 'sword that was damaged during the "kill".
I made a custom las cannon turret out of plasticard, grot aimed, for that damaged side
A shot of the 'sword in action!
