Deaf is right, Dozer, if we abide to simple rules like gravity and balance, a whole lot of the 40k universe will fall apart. Let me play on an universe where normal people carry weapons almost as large as them, all vehicles are the equivalent of clown cars in capacity and legs are irrelevant to balance!

Anyhow, OSL would be fun on the grot!

Stick with the legs as they are...the consensus is it's COOL as is. You will note that the only one saying anything against them is not participating in the P.E.2012.

LOL! After reading Deaf's comments... I could only think of the "Ohhh" Cat.


I like the small legs... defy CONVENTIONAL engineering... embrace Ork Tinkering!

Wow! Your imagination is fantastic and your ability to put this trash can together with all those parts is amazing. Keep up the great work.

Just to let you know I was not completely sleeping (quite opposite unfortunately). After recipient revealed to me, I decided to go with the Trash-Kan (it's much more challenging than renegade conversion that was my second option and also I have still lots of parts missing for the bad guy).

Right now, I just have to put some sand and other things to the base and finish the legs (some wires and pistons, otherwise it's almost done). I am still playing with idea of alternate arms (slugga and second buzzsaw), so the recipent will be able to put on the pair he likes/wants. If I have time, I will do it, but now I really don't know. Right now, I can say that the Trash-Kan will be delivered with two additional Grots - the Drillmasta already shown in some older post and other one with very important role that I will try to keep in secret - so at least one thing about the package is suprising

There is still the thing with painting. I hope I'll manage to paint it in some proper orkish style. Any suggestions for colors or techniques would be appreciated.

I'll try to get some picture when there will be some good light. I am usually coming home to late to catch some last daylight and my lamplights suck.

U suggest the 'salt technique'....

I have NEVER done it, but it seems fairly easy. It allows you to 'chip' paint... which seems to be a normal thing for Orks. Watch the video (mind her annoying voice...)

That is really interesting tutorial, giving some interesting thoughts. Do you think it will work with paint-and-brush instead of the airbrush? Anyone? Some experiences with that?

Anyway. Some pics I pormised earlier

So first comes the Grot Mek with a drill:




And few picture of almost finished Trash-Kan (well, except all the paint missing ):













So that would be all for now. Hope you like it

Looks awesome! Really interesting looking model. I think it will look fantastic when it is all finished. The grots add a lot of character. Great work.

awesome, I love it.

Gorgeous... I wish I had you send me the model (sorry Narcissus... Lazi is not torturing me! )

On the videos... you do NOT have to use a spray gun. You can use the hair pray directly from the can. I just posted those videos because they look good, and the technique is clear to follow.

Dont use a brush - tried and failed horribly! I bought an ordinary (GW base spray) spraycan and it worked just fine. Probably even better with a spraygun for that thin layer =)

Wow! That model is look more awesome every time I check this log.

VERY, VERY COOL! We of Goblin-kind salute you!
