2 Doors down

 Had a bit of free time and made the 2nd door, with a more basic handle on the door, now I have used both types of Ork knives from the old sets. I picked up a big box of used Ork sprues and these still have a ton of weapons and these knives on it, and they make perfect door handles...so, use it.



Still not quite sure why Forgeworld make it with the bumps on the side of the door as that only makes sense if they drop down on the floor, and these don't (unless they did a terrible parking job!) but I just copy, modify and paste anyway and I doubt the Orks would give it much (any?) thought. 


Next up is the front and that will be a 1 big armor plate with a viewport cut out. Might add a cut out visor on top of it. Typical Ork tooth on front of course. Might rip out one of the roadwheels and replace it with a another type from a 1/35 kit. The hardest work will be in the back and the top, and I need to scrounge my bits box for 1 or 2 headlights. Road safety and all that :) But I'm not in any rush, my back is killing me so sitting here for extended times isn't...smart

  1. Looks great, and the Ork knife handle as a door handle is something I never though of.

    Regarding your back, does standing help? Maybe changing your setup to stand at the kitchen counter for a bit can help balance things out. Either way, hope it gets better soon.

    1. Standing upright doesn't help, sadly, my knees are pretty fucked up. I can walk, wobbly, easily enough for quite a while. Standing just locks my knees and within minutes it starts to hurt a lot (overweight+carcrash = not a great combo). Therapy is helping, I'm much more actively aware of my (mis)shape of my spine and what I need to do to set things straight, literally. But old habits ey....
