Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Space Ork Raiders (part 8)
This project continues bit by bit, never fear! The armor is coming together, and I decided how I would build the gun arm!
I rough-shaped the pieces, glued them so the rough edges extended past the armor pieces already present, and then trimmed them back once the glue set. it worked well enough for Ork purposes! Then I added a brace extending back to the piston support tubes. I'll add bit more connection with the back, and it'll be done!
The gun arm is built from a Cybork arm from the standard Nobz kit, two Nob sluggas, and plasticard embellishments. The goint is filled with more green stuff, and I am typing this while I wait for it to set a bit more before I do some final shaping. Additional armor will also be added to the shoulders to conceal this messy joint, I think.
That last blob of green stuff will be used to help fill the top gap between the tank and pre-molded shoulder armor. This guy is getting a proper Mega Armor shell, and that means a plate over the top. On to that next step! Pictures will follow eventually. The back won't be heavily armored, but that tank needs to be properly incorporated into the whole.
