Battlewagon conversion from landraider log

hey guys, its owen from the club i have only been going a for 3 weeks mostly playing mike . andyway i picked up a landraider the other day which i am going to convert into a BW (badmoon). the BW will carry 10 burna boys and a Mek with KFF. Therefore i shall be painting flames and having become the 'mek' BW with gubbinz and bitz everywhere. (there will be a total of 3 BW's in my army).

So I started with the tracks and as it is 'looted' and orky i went with a bit of battledamage which the grotz had then repaired.

I then added a floor pannel where the krew will be (will be detailed later). I will leave some space for a big gun ( probably a forge world one).
(excuse the elastic bands holding it together)

here a quick sketch of what i would like to do.

I am planning to have a cabbin that is at the front of the tank. this will then have a deffrolla coming off it. I got the front piece of the Landraider and it worked pretty well. I then got the turret from the stompa kit that is meant to go on his right shoulder and it fit perfectly into the gab.

I then made some big orky exhausts which will stick out the back.

well thats it for now more to come.

C&C welcome

It's gonna be a very big tank, you may want to sink the crew compartment into the hull of the LR.

do you think it is too big?, this is what i was thinking. it is about 1"-1.5" tall of the LR

i may sink it down

update:

i have lowered the cab and done some more work.
done some work on the cabin getring it the right size . I then added a light and a plow wth some big metal jaws on:

I added the smoke stacks/exhausts onto the back. added some chain to add some character. the pannel off the back is where are grot will probably stand.

I have been working on the floor, adding some scrap metal (minus rivets)

and then a dead space marine to go on the plow at the front (tired on as a trophy)

more updates soon along with more pics

C & C welcome thanks

Fantastic work on the Ork Wagon. I expect it is going to look great. Well done.

Any chance you could reduce the size of the picture next to your name, it is a little big.

Cheers,

Pete

OK, after a busy week I did some work on the BW.

Started on the deffrolla

The arms are then magnetized onto the side of the landraider.

I also got to work on putting panels on the other side of the Bw and also having panels which give a bit of protection to the boys on the top.

Added the two big shootaz to the turret and then two more bigshootaz on each side (see first pic)
