Ramming speed!

With the captain of the looted wagon "ready for action" I turned my attention to the second crew member, the wagons "first mate". I decided to use the nobz sprue again and one of the heads from the maximini sets I had ordered.

And here he is. Once thing I have noticed is that the white resin Maxi Mini used is annoyingly hard to photograph! Still he should look pretty awesome finished.

So Crew finished it was time to turn my attention to the final major section of the wagon that needed working on. The engines! I did try and see if I could fit the engine from the Ork Trukk on anywhere but it didn't look right and would have seemed too "obivously" stuck on for want of a better term.

I suddenly realised there was a much more obivous solution as the raider already came with "rocket" style engines anyway. So all I needed was to add some more rockets to give it that Orky feel, of the crew simply pointing the wagon at the enemy, lighting the rockets and then hoping for the best.

For the extra rockets I used too packs from the stormboyz sprue which fitted into the gaps between the raider hull and the Ork Trukk chasis surprisingly easy. Now I know that the raider isn't quite "straight" but no looted wagon is ever going to come out of the Meks workshop perfect and I'm sure the Mekyboz simply told his customers that the wagon came with " sporty handling"


So here is the wagon in it's almost finished glory, complete with Kaptain and first mate. In case anyone is wondering the blobs of green stuff will be "lights". The one main thing I have left to do is drill out the heavy stubber barrels and added a couple more bits of wiring to represent the Mekyboyz "Kustomz improvementz".

Then all I'll have to do it paint it!
