Curses...

Due to OP Master N`s incredible display of initiative with the "Norwegian Wahound" thread I now need to get myself into gear. We`re having an Apocalypse game soon and I won`t show up if I ain`t got some super heavies of my own. So I building a stompa! Or rather two in fact, my goal is to be able to switch between a Stompa and a Big Mek Stompa with some magnets and such [insert snigger]

Anyhoo..

Here`s what I`ve got so far:
Main hull/body


Hip


The scale on the main hull is:
- Height: 15 cm
- Width: 18 cm
- Depth: 9 cm

I remind you that this is just the main hull and it will get a lot more bulky as I progress.

C&C if ya feel like giving some ;) Or if ya have questions don`t hesitate to ask!

looks good sofar!
cant wait to see more

Thanks :)

Hopefully I`ll get quite a bit done this weekend so expect updates every day for the next 3-5 days ;)

R

Now you're rolling, or stompin, or watnot...
My warhound will be ready to take it on...

Some small progress made. I`ve now attached the flooring of the main body. The body and hip is not glued together, the body can rotate around it`s own axis. Main reason for this is 1: transport/stoorage and 2: cool poses :D



Not quite sure what I`ll start next, kinda tempted on starting on the arms instead of the head. Any thoughts on this?

As always, c&c welcome!

@Azmodai:
It`d better be :P

R

Started on the legs instead of the arms or head. Glad I did as it`s a rather
defining feature on it and will make the scaling of the arms and head a lot easier.



Haven`t started on the right foot yet, I`ll do that tomorrow. For those who`s seen it I`ve looted insaniaks` way of making the feet.

C&C please.

R

Done with the main build of the right foot. I think I`ll do the detailing on the lower body now as I ponder on how I wanna do the arms and head.



R

aah yes looking good

now get the basic done,
make a bucket of rivets and metal plates,
and some crazy party orcs ''riding'' the thing

btw i know its a bit late for this but, ever read the piece in the apocolypse book about those 3 carnifexes in holding cases inside a ork stompa?

maybe its something for your next project?

Detailed update as promised ;)



I`m keeping the theme in line with the rest of my scratchbuilds. Quite pleased with how things are shaping up so far.

@bram:
I`ve already started on the riveting as you can see. I like taking it as I go along otherwise it`s a real killer if you need to do all of them last.
I plan on making the hut with the operator(s), got a nice idea for it as well.

Nice idea but my next project is making 2-3 BWs with killkannons for Apocalypse :D

R

well you could add the cages on the side :P

nice work btw

Another day, another update!

This time it`s the arm, this`ll be the right arm on the stompa:


So it`s a twin-linked big shoota on top, then it`s a supa-skorcha (will get fueldrum as "ammo-feed") and finally a titan close combat weapon. It`s none other than Ein`s stompa that`s been my inspiration for this arm, but I looted the skorcha idea from elotsip`s chaos militia plog.

C&C please :)

@bram:
Hehe, I`ll think about it ;)
Thanks :)

R

oh thats looking nice i really like it

Thanks a lot mate :)

R

Update:
(Apologies in advance for crappy pics. I had to sharpen the images so that you could see the details.)


Done some more detailing on it, added a fueldrum that will serve as the ammofeed for the supa-skorcha.


On top you have a Lemmingspawn inspired Supa-Gatler, underneath a 92acclude inspired Deth-Kannon. Still need to add the ammofeed for the kannon.

So with this done, both arms fairly the same size I can make the last part on both arms so that I can get them attached to the body.

C&C please :)

R

Finally something to show...


As you can see I`ve changed the main body quite a lot. I narrowed it at the waist and I think it did the trick. The line I`ve drawn on the body will be the lower part of the jawline.

Other than that I`ve added the two big shootas as well as the mounts for the three supa-rokkits. In lack of superglue I can`t fix the magnets to the supa-rokkits and arms but I`ll get that done tomorrow.

Tomorrow I`ll focus on the head and arms with pads.

C&C please.

R

Legs defo need bulk but I'm sure that's a wip situation you are gonna take care of.

The arms are dead-on Orky and everything is great so far.

So, I have no criticism for you, only the above comment. Good job! Your making excellent progress too.

-scrubout

Thanks a lot :D

Yeah the legs are on my to-do list. Currently I`m only doing the parts that needs to be done before my Apocalypse game this coming monday. Against Azmodai`s norwegian warhound B) So weapons and reinforcing the build is my main priority per now.

My aim is cramming in as many details as I can on it. That`s one of the reasons I`ve got these large surfaces to work on. Should be a blast!

R

i am iron ork :lol:

:lol:

But to be serious that was my intention look-wise for the stompa B)

R

well its huge its cool and its gonna be red right?

now all you need is an american arms dealer that has a hart failure ;)
