I’ve done a little building on my Ork fighter bomber . Really had a hard time getting started as all the weird and wonderful Orky bits you guys love are way out of my comfort zone . So I looked around for a real world plane that I could use as an inspiration . What I found was a single seat prop job that served in the late 50s through Viet Nam , the Douglas A-1 Skyraider . A sort of radial engine version of the jet engine tank buster , Warthog . This thing had in wing cannons and 15 under wing mounting points for bombs , rockets and gun pods . In fact this thing could carry 8000 pounds of destruction , the same load as some B-17 WW2 bombers
Here’s my Ork plane , guns are just placed in their mounts to get an idea how it could look . I also have a half dozen rockets and a couple of large bombs that might end up under the wings . As well , I could mount a twin gun turret behind the cock pit , so many choices ..
Done with the basing and ran out of sealant in covering it. I’m wondering about the Testor’s Dullcote I picked up in the glass bottle rather than the rattle can I normally use. Using the airbrush for the sealant seems like a better deal as I can be more precise to get more coverage for my money but this project will be the first time doing it. Anybody have experience with clear coating with an airbrush?
@mage I see what you did there, sir. Be sure to keep an eye on the ammo clip that comes with the figure. I lost mine somewhere in my collection of stuff and have fashioned a new one from plastic and Milliput.
@a27cromwell Whenever I think orcs the Brewster F2A Bison pops into my head. It just seems like such a oddly shaped aircraft there is no way it couldn’t be a military grade orcraft.
Sitting at work and still had the arm in the portable hobby kit. I also had just the right base for my latest figure purchase that is appropriate for Orctober. I will save that for next month as I will use it as my avatar for the boards.@limburger I think the concept ‘come at me bro’ might be the other way around from orky thinking.
Time to get smashin’
