Ok it's been a couple of weeks since last post. Most of that has been spent pondering the right arm weapon. I gave up on the shokk attack gun idea, decided it'd be a sod to do well and justify. Eventually a nice idea came to me, so I worked on that. Basically it's an upscaled shoota. By about a factor of 10! There are lots of nice features that I think will look much better once it's painted. I love the offset barrell thing inside the outer case. <
What else? Well I've assembled the back, though still lots of holes to patch. Gone for the usual reactor disguised as a coal boiler that most old school orky vehicles had. First real rivet attack on that, though lots more to add.
I wasn't sure about the right shoulder, since it's quite a lot bulkier than the left, but I think it works. It looks kind of like a huge support for a huge gun, sort of lumbering counterbalanced beastie. Ish. Either way I think it'll work.
Also stuck a landing pad behind the left shoulder. Someone (er Lt. Walke I think) on WIP suggested it as an add on for someone's gun trukk, but I thought it'd rock hanging up there. Looks a bit weird at the moment, but once it's been detailed, and has the deathkopta I'm working on sat on it, then I think it'll look the business.
So yeah, progress. Woo.
