Contest entry: French 39(H) tank to Ork warbuggy

[sorien]

Starting in on my build finally, going to be using the base of this tank to build a Warhammer 40k Ork warbuggy. Got a pic of the kit and a box of bits I picked out.

I do like me sum Orky vehicles!, especially kitbash/looted types. This is a great start, look forward to seeing your progress on this

Loving that, from the handlebars to the big honking motor in the back.
Definitely orking up nicely

Yep looks like an Ork ride to me. SWEET

To come up with these ideas you must be an ORK, either now or in a future life!

Excellent work.

Made a lot of progress tonight, getting close to finishing the construction. Added some wire for control and radiator hoses. Lots of armor plating on the sides. Built the weapons, but need to figure out how I'm going to magnetize them. More rivets to do after that..

Looks like you're getting the "Big Shootas" ready. Coming along nicely

Nice! I like the idea of having the swappable weapons detach from the weapon mount rather than the hull. I don't think I would have thought of that...

Looking Good.

Interesting! I want to see what you do to this thing with paint!

This looks pretty cool ;D , cant wait to see some paint !!

I'm having a problem I'm not sure how to solve. Trying to prime the model I'm having a heck of a time getting any paint on parts of the road wheels either with a spray can or a brush. I'm not use to doing scale models, only warhammer stuff. any pointers would be great.

Hi Sorien,
Can you expand on your problem a bit , I mean ...is the paint not taking to the plastic ? or is it that you cant reach parts of the wheels ?

Chris.
