Very clear so far! I'm interested on how much each Nob ends up costing though?! lol
Lt.Gregor - April 11, 2008 03:57 PM (GMT)
Why do you think I bought a Rapid insertion force? :D plenty of things that need orkifying

Ok so I was just going to glue a nob power claw arm on, then I had a small problem, no-claw..... I asked for help from the bitz hunter, no help. Soooooooo long story short here is the mini-Tutorial Building a power claw:
1) what ya need:
-Misc. Ork arm or arms (I'm using some fantasy Ork arms)
-Plastic card U-channel
-Plastic Card
-Plastic Tube/rod.
Step 1
Cut away all weapons/gunz:

Step 2
File down the hand so it's flat is:

Step 3
Cut the u-channel to size:

And glue into Place:

Step 4
Using Various stuff fill in the gaps:

Step 5
Draw Bladed Claws on Plastic card:

Then File down the edger where the blade is before cutting out the rest of the Blade, theis makes it easy to handle:

Step 6
Glue the claws onto the Boxed hand in any pose you plan on making (This one's going to be pointing)

Step 7
Using Various tubes and Rod build pistons, also I use the new plastic Bannet as the thumb:


Step 8
Add Rivets (sorry forgot to take pictures of rivets but hey I can't do all the work!)

I'm kind of pleased you didn't find a claw! This way, we get two tutorials for the price of one!!! :P
Lt.Gregor - April 14, 2008 06:09 PM (GMT)
Now that I've shown how to assemble the body and Power claw (Lt Gregor Style) THe next part is purdy easy:
Step 6Glue on the arms, and using various Tubes and Rods build up "piston assit arms" This is to show that they get some help carry the extra weight:
Step 7ADD RIVETS!
Cheers have fun trying to make these things (I'm somewhat hating these guys)
Any Questions ask away.
PS: I made this turtoral while make 4 of them so yes there are a bounch of different models in the tutorial :P

Well from my Orc Waffaaaa project long for BOB:
[QUOTE=] I have a small Hatered for Tau. Not that I'm making it personal and becoming crazy, like making a whole army based on stealing their stuff. [/QUOTE]
I harbor a Large hatered for Tau, It's slow and burning. There-for I made an army built to mock tau as much as possible. I got a rapid inserstion force, and the Crisis suits are too-large for mega-nobz (that is warboss size) so the stealth suits were tapped for mega nobz, as you can see they look smaller than the warboss and right about mega-nob size.
