Boss sez weez got to kumoonikate...
Communications Specialist
I made some additional progress today. First was doing most of the assembly for my Spanner Boy Communications Specialist. The base fig is pretty standard off-the-sprue spanner boy from the Burna boy kit. What I wanted was a pack that looked like communications equipment, but also resembled the WW2 radio backpack sets.
the base backpack is just some slabs of square plasticard tube slapped together. I then added the various decorative bits all made from scrap plasticard I had lying around.
– the ork-style antenna
– the various dials, icons, and rivets
– the small satellite dish
– the radio handset that looks like American radio hand sets from WW2.
The only thing further I’d like to add is a cord between the handset and the backpack. Might have to dig around for some wire at home.

Some further progress has been made on the Soviet-style Ork Boy Gunner. I added a bipod and gun sight to the Big Shoota. I also removed the previous backpack (it was far too large) and the top not, and sculpted on a green stuff cap and bedroll. They are a little hard to pick out as the base plastic fig was already green.
i also added the second arm holding a grenade from an unused Burna boy arm, as the sprues didn’t come with the second “supporting arm” for the Big Shoota, overall I like the finished look.
C&C welcome!
