Knock knock? More like DAKKA DAKKA!

 As a Ork Ambulance has to be the most hated kind of ambulance in 40K, it should look accordingly. 

Guessing eveyone and their pet Squig will shoot at this, so added more bulletimpacts. Most likely it will get more before primer hits it.

What's up, Doc?

 Finished the detailing of the big symbol on top, revealing who's ride this is.  Well, as far as white on whiote is easy to photograph anyway....

Yup, it is for a Ork Painboy and his crew. Painboy has been on order for over a month <sigh> but I have a gazillion bits for his crew. Next up is more work on the rear doors

Smokey and the barrel.

 Removed the right front armored exhaust cover (God I love my Japanese saw) and replaced it with something more....Orky. I guess fuel drums will always be a useful tool for any Ork Mek. Almost done now with all the modifications, work is now to be done on the top and rear section, then slap on the tracks. And to find my missing Rhino headlights....somewhere.

Top of the line Grot-O-Matic Big Shoota

 The best weapon teeth can buy. Well, maybe. Ah, who are we kidding. 

Armor plate protects the ammo feed, sight is underneath the Big Shoota (and partially covered by the front armor plate on the Rhino, of course). Just needs the magnets, when I find them. Added the most useless ram spike on the Rhino ever.

Now to further detail the rest, add 2 more exhausts, and start work on the rear doors.

Full Frontal

 Frontal armour plate finished. Then added blunt force damage with my burner, melted half the bolts, and redid those. There is such a thing as planning, and I'm not good at it :)

Also did the drivers cuppola in the cheapest way possible by recycling one my failed Grot mini tank. 

Next up either a new rear door or the top, which will be raised a bit. Then small details before paint. Now that's been a while, painting stuff. 

I might even finish something. There, now I've jinxed it.

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

Back to the Orks

 Finally more or less settled in the flat, with a routiune and everything. Long Covid is still hitting hard, test after test and lot's of therapy and no dicsernable improvement. Taking better care of myself and really conserving my energye to what needs to be done, not chase every pipe dream that enters my head. 

And lastnight, I finally had some energy spare, and with a second hand Rhino in my hand and pictures of the Forgeworld looted Rhino front of me I managed a whole new door in about 3 hours time. Time wise it's glacial, but at least I did a thing. I hear looted Rhino's aren't a thing anymore, but I'm pretty close to just giving up on wargaming and just painting what I like, without the pressure of making a force or army or whatever. It's not like I finished one in the last 10 years anyway, so....

So yes, I did a thing. Might do another door tonight or just watch some TV, I hear Obi Wan is on tonight.

How are you all doing right now?
