I've just put the finishing touches on the Morkanaut. It's taken about a month to build this sucker (well, more accurately, I started in about a month ago, and it's had maybe five full days of work on it and then a whole bunch of short sessions wedged in around other commitments) and now I am feeling slightly at a loss. I mean, I have to paint it, and I'm planning to post a video with a more detailed look and 360 spin around of the whole thing, but I can't shoot that until tomorrow, and I don't want it part painted for that bit, so now I have an afternoon and evening without a Morkanaut to work on...
Guess I should either start the Gorkanaut or get some work in on the plane from Target.
Anyway, that's my problem. You all want pics.
Here they are then.
 |
| The jaw is just resting against the body here - it will be much more raised and held with the hydraulics seen in front. I'm keeping things in pieces for painting, and the jaw sags as a result. The legs have been pinned on with two 2.5mm brass pins each. |
 |
| It has come out a bit bigger than the base. My original calculation involved thinner legs and hip joints closer to the body. I had forgotten to account for the jaw, which meant the legs needed to go further out. |
 |
| I also decided not to have armoured 'shoulder pad' things over the hip joints. |
 |
| This meant the Kustom Forcefield Projecta ended up built into the hip joint, and the twin rokkit launchas are now bolted right to the legs at the back. I made the rokkits from rod and tube with the warheads shaped by chucking them into a power drill and spinning against sand paper and emery boards. |
 |
| Can't think of anything much to say here... |
 |
| Here's the main gun. The Kustom Mega Blasta ended up as a co-axial mount. I also built an Ork to crew the pintel gun. He is the only kit part in the entire build. |
 |
| Here are the parts seperated out and ready for paint. This could take some time... |
