Hey guys, i got bored so thought i would make a fightabomma. I wanted it to look similar to the forge world one just with a few differences.

I started out by drawing a 1:1 scale plan of the side and top. I then took the measurements from that, and started work!

Image

I began with the main frame of the bomma. I also did the front of the bomma giving it the 'air vents' or whatever they are?
Image
Image

i used the driver from a trukk kit for the pilot and i found a bouncy ball for the gun turret.
Image

well thats it for now, I shall put up an update in a few days,

thanks

Yes, that would be the air intake for the jet engines.

Is that built using foamboard or plasticard?

Its looking good, the only problem I forsee is the canopy. How are you gonna build that?

UPDATE
ok added some wings, a tail fin and the exhaust.
Image
Underneath
Image

and i have also done the cock pit adding some arms for the pilot. He is then found a few stikk bombz in his cabin!
Image

I have also done the base which is an 8" diameter. I am then going to do a ork vs Gaurd diorama with some gaurdsmen and boyz. I made an explosion which is coming from the bomma. This is made from modeling flock with a wood/spruce frame.
Image
Image

I used a brass rod to attach the bomma to the base. the top of the rod screws into the bomba
Image

and the bottom then fits into the aluminum rod which hot glueguned to the base. (notice the plastic glue lid )
Image


thanks, C&C welcome

Impressive. I like the plume, but surely it would need to be a bit larger.

The crew in for the base is also a good idea. Large models are a pain to transport.

Try using epic figures on the base to get perspective. I have got a few Orks bits somewhere if you are interested.
