Ya know, once you build something big for the orks, you just gotta keep going. This time I\'m cooking up a Big Mek Stompa for my Apocalypse army. I\'ve never been a huge fan of the \"big dress\", or bell shaped ork stompas/gargants and I don\'t even feel bad. They look alright but just not...

<p>Just returned from vacation and boy am I stoked. One of the things my wife and I like to do while travelig is hitting bargain/junk shops. Places like Goodwill, Salvation Army and other non-brand named second hand stores. She looks for dishes and I look for sci-fi books and toys to...

You know when you decide to grow a beard (for us guys) or let your hair grow long (guys and gals) and you're in that middle stage where it's not long enough or still too short to do anything with and it looks wrong/funny/unfinished/not good/can't see the end product? Yep, that's where I'm at.<br...

Stan Winston passed away last night. Details here.HERE All the people I grew up looking up to are going away - first Gary Gygax, now Stan. Farewell and hope you never run out of latex up there... EDIT - Changed name of thread so people don\'t have to guess....

The summer months in Minnesota are a precious thing. No, it's not quite like northern Alaska with 6 months of night or anything, it's just that when the weather gets above freezing, we tend to get outside and enjoy it. This winter has been a long one, which has been good on the modeling/painting...

Been a while since I've posted here - most of my recent work's been logged on in the WIP thread for the Battlewagon. Now that I've started the bikes, I'll post them here. <br /> <br /> I needed a brake from the battlewagon as 6-7 straight weeks will drive a person crazy. I dry-fit assembled on...

Quick post. I put in an hour last night. One hour. An entire hour. And produced this.<br /> <br /> <img width="600" height="509" border="0" src="http://www.bigshoota.com/blog-photos/bw/bw63.jpg" alt="Deff roller" title="Deff roller" /><br /> <br /> I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to...

<p>Got a lot or work done on the Battlewagon this weekend due to an extended winter up here in the northland. Got the Big Shoota moutns finished, completed the Kill Kannon mount, added a grot riggers station behind/under the engine, aaaaaandd I started the rebuild of the deff rolla. This almost...

Hi all, Just wrote/posted my first article and since I\'m not seeing it as quickly as I would a forum post, I assume that it needs to be cleared by a moderator much like an image post to a gallery. Is this correct? I only ask to make sure I did things right when posting. Thanks for yor reply...

This will be a one project only type thread centering on my Battlewagon. It\'s one of those things that\'s been on my back burner for a couple of years now. My tournament army is completely painted and I have the time to leisurely work on this, and it will take some time. I\'m used to...

Here's the progress on my Shokk Attack Gun Big Mek. Having to paint, assemble, paint more, assemble more.... is making this a long and tricky model to finish. There's some in progress showing the gun prior to glueing to the main body. I wanted to reduce (or eliminate) the amount of greens stuff...

<p>Started work on my Big Mek with the Shokk Attack Gun finally. This is a giant model. I think the only ork model bigger is Gaz. Very detailed as always and a pleasure to paint. The head and body are done with one week till tournameny to finish him up along with 5 shootas to fill out my...

<p>I'm done with the trukk - whew! I know it's not my best work but considering the time I put in it's alright with me. I need the time before the tournament to do the Big Mek up right. Besides, this gives me practice for the next trukk, right?</p><p>Not too much different than the last post...

<p>I think GW has gone too far. I mean, really. Yeah, yeah, I know. We screamed and shook our fists and banged on the tables for new models, better sculpts and something to make the orks proud. Why the hell did they have to give it to us? Honestly, they've gone far beyond what I would have...

<p>Initial thoughts on the Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun. Skeeve was right about the amount of flash dat critters got on it. Holy crap! It took me nearly an hour to clean it up before primering. The only other model that took that much prep work were the Killa Kans. I assumed it was because the...

<p>Well, our local trivia marathon is over and I'm feeling very much like a burnt out husk of a human being. Our team did alright at 18 out of 78 teams and we edged out our friendly rivals by one place, again (cool). </p><p>The game itself has changed over the years since the birth of the...

Things have been quiet here on the modeling front as of late due to the impending storm that is Trivia. I know we're not the only ones who do this across hte US (as a trivia freak, I'd better know!) but it's one of the larger, and longer ones, and fun none the less.<br /> <br /> Our local state...

<p>I know, I know. Not a mini, but it is my latest work - that I've had done anyway. I've been saving up for this for about two years and the time has finally come. my new tattoo! This is about 2 1/2 hours in the chair. Outline and a little over half the shading is done. That's about when my...

<p>I finished the Ork Trukk bed this weekend. There is an amazing amount of detail on such small surface area there. The roll bars are nearly finished as well, then I can move on to the chassis and engine. The chassis should be pretty quick - grey/dirt highlights with quick but subtle metal dry...
