>well duh, about the plating - i was just to lazy to draw it. there will definitely be spikes, chains, and trophies - those all go without saying, don't they? but i love the "don't touch dat!" button. just gotta figure out where to put it.<

Put it somewhere that would be obviously stupid. For example, if you have a flatbed portion for the boyz to ride in, put a little console smack dab in the center with only that button on it; the console shoud serve no other purpose.

I dont know if any of you guys have seen the tank insides painted where the "targeting screen" is painted to look like "Super Mario Brothers", but for the do not touch button, if you can freehand a clip of Ren trying not to touch the red button from the "space maddness" episode of Ren & Stimpy... it would just add to the whole piece...
Wazzdakka, you are so right on putting the button in a ludacris location(might even be funnier is the horn on the steering wheel, but then where will you write dont touch that?)... I mean that is part of the whole charm of the orks... Ruthless warlords bent on domination of everything, who are quite good at it(might I add), but its all sort of thrown together in Gork and Morks "Masta Plan."
I really like a grot hanging from the barrel holding a target... I just think thats silly... hell maybe make it a servo skull like its good luck...

Space madness was one of my favorite epsiodes!
Oh, my beloved ice cream bar... how I love to lick your creamy center! HOOOWWWWWW... and your oh-so-nutty chocolate covering! You're not like the others... you like the same things I do! Waxed paper... boiled football leather... dogbreath... We're not hitchhiking anymore! We're RIDING!

I was thinking something more like this: ![](http://springclassic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/ren-stimpy-red-button.jpeg?w=584) As without knowledge of the show, it looks like poster instructing use... since its not killy... orks might need instructions in picture form after all. Though of course it conflicts with the written message.... which humorously enough we are to assume they will not read anyway... ![](http://www.sfangels.com/images/Ren-%20space%20madness.jpg) ![](http://cdn.follw.it/episodeimages/originals/8191/191869.jpg)

Wazzdakka, best use of that sample, besides its original context, is in the first 15 seconds of this song! If one listens to it in its entirety... there is one more Ren sample... youtu.be/qbVX_gMnFlsTiamat, on top of his helmet is priceless... I cannot wait to see it!

That would be badass! and I love the toy tank base it would be built on... it would be truly unique!

>work has commenced on the turret. today, i'm glad i have a table saw...the main cannon barrel and the secondary are cut, both about a foot long. time to slap on some details (and yes, the grot targeting system as well...).<

>right, so the basic shape of the turret is fleshed out (pics forthcoming, battery for camera is charging). two long barrels (one a zzzap kannon and the other a deff kannon, i'm thinking) with a small deck across the tops of them for a grot spotter. the "targeter" grot is mostly sculpted, just need to find him a hand somewhere - but yes, there's cross-hairs on his helmet. time to start wrapping the barrels in floral wire, chains, cardstock strips, etc. oh, and the bane of my existence, the goddamn rivets...<

>Kommanda Argoff is tacked in to give you an idea of scale, but here's the turret so far. 52 holes drilled, 2 small cuts, and 1 broken drill bit later, i think it's coming along nicely. i particularly like the hand-crank to elevate the guns. chance find on a sprue, but it worked out pretty well. 2 more pics on deck.< Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/3358762/thumbnailer/VKvQlFLSH8fUWqvgTn_C.jpg)
