Da Tumbla

So I had Batmek and I needed to work out what to spend the rest of my teef on. I tried a few lists but the one I finally settled on was this:

Banez - Nob (Flack armour, Slugga, Choppa)
Batmek - Spanner (Bike, 2 x Kannon, Choppa. Frags)
Morkan Freeork - Spanner, driver
Da Tumbla - Trukk with skorcha
Alf - Yoof, gunner
Jokez - Boy (6 shoota, choppa)
Dentz - Boy (Slugga, Choppa)
Robz - Yoof (Blunderbuss)

I liked the amount of models in the list, I just needed a trukk big enough to carry  the crew. It had to be modled after "The Tumbler" to keep in the theme, but I wanted to make the gang using spares from my bitz box. After a rummage I found an old Gorkamorka trukk fully intact, this was to be the shell.

I took all the wheels off and used the back wheels on the bike, as they're slightly bigger than normal bike wheels, I then built holders for the wheels on the truck using sprue, and took the wheels off some space marine bikes. After a few more bits stuck to It It looked like this:

A couple more bitz added to it and it was really taking shape:

The only thing was that it wasn't quite close enough to the real thing for my liking so I dug out the plasticard.

A few strips here and there and I was made up with the results:

 and a group shot:

A quick spray with the black paint and a couple of highlights and it was ready:

So there you have it, "Da Tumbla", and a peek at some of da boyz. I'll put pics of them up next week as I'm still painting them. The campaigns starting in 2 or 3 weeks and the only thing I haven't decided is whether to be "Gorkas" or "Morkas". Any comments on this will be welcome and so are any questions people have about any of the models. See you next week
