>i'm going to try doing a full walkthru for my latest projekt - Da Chariot of Dakka. it's going to be the personal transport of Apluz himself, based on a rather large broken tank toy i got at a thrift shop for a buck. once my camera battery is charged in a few hours, i'll shoot a few pics of the tank w/out any modifications. from there, every time i make a modification to it, or build on it, i'll put up more pics, along with a step-by-step on what/how i did whatever. this should be fun!<

>Baseline Pic#2. if you look at the very front of the tank, you'll notice a hole (theres a few on the toy, it's missing lots of parts). i removed a pop-up missile rack. it has 5 slots with missiles that look remarkably like Rokkits, so i removed and dismantled it to get at them to paint. it'll be the first painted and complete part of Da Chariot. starting out awfully small, but at least i'm starting.< Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/3358762/thumbnailer/NJZvZnAnceCIvuyDxaZt.jpg)

Didn't you tell me you stole that toy from your step-son? Bad, bad man!

>nah, that was something else. submarine, i think i was talking about. this i got 10Mar at a flea market mall place. i also got two bags full of acrylic paints for $3. and i don't STEAL his toys, he either outgrows them or breaks them - he's particularly good at the latter.<

That's YOUR side of the story. I'll have to hear his side in August. ;D

Put a tower on it. Right over the turret. A huge, orky, "looks-like-it's-about-to-topple-over" kind of tower. With a weirdboy strapped to the top.

Not sure how tall...just tall. If you can find someone selling one of these old weirdboy models on Ebay, it might work pretty good. Just cut off the staff and wrap chains around his arms and legs to make it look like he's being strectched by his limbs over a pillar.

">a quick photoshop "sketch" of some of the plans i have. gimme some opinions, boyz.<
I know its was a quick mock up... but I am not feeling the orky-ness on that pic. I mean more plating is obviously needed, maybe some barbed wire on the sides, a gretchin climbing the barrel a must(maybe even holding a target for the gunner(on loota sprue), some big "fuck-off" spikes sticking out of the front(maybe even comically so large, or the tusk bits from ogre kingdoms), a trophy rack(more orky for a vehicle if instead of heads use weapons or pieces from defeated vehicles, too bad the space marine for the venerable dread is too modeled in.. maybe fabricate one of those with a marine torso and some tubing), a killa kan or deff dread arm(I know it serves no purpose but even the vindicator has a servo arm to get ammo plus what warlord wouldn't want the option and/or maybe it was going to be a Deff dread before the big mek realized its potential), a red button with small text which reads "Dont touch!", lastly battle damage from when it was "borrowed."
