Will build a looted moving stage for my Goff Waaagh Rock Band , the louder the Waaagh the mightier!
Hope that nails this years theme.

First thing that pops into my head was that one war wagon from "Fury Road". You know the one.

Looking forward to seeing what you do.

yes I know the one! My basic war wagon will be a Scratchbuild Leman Russ without a turret. Of course sufficiently tinkered with in the Ork way

I can’t wait to see this one!

What about using one of the old Battlewagons as a basis for your stage? Make a stage where the passenger compartment is and have some of those big gig style speakers you see at the side of stages, either side of that? Maybe have a drummers platform up, between the speakers?

Excuse the shitty drawing from my iPad!

Here is the start!

My entry will be a Ork Goff Rock band for my Ork Warhammer 40000 army. They will get a moving stage in the form of a looted Leman Russ tank. The tank will be a scratch build version to the so called Ruhr pattern. A pattern of Leman Russ as build on the forge world Ruhr in the Germania sector.

I used the paper templates of Patrochloch . Here is an example of a printed out template:

The space marine is there to compare scale. I won’t build the Leman Russ out of paper though. To make it more resilient for the battlefield I will use extruded Polystyrene. Like I did with my Thunderhawk.

Here are pictures of the three main parts before cutting with the hot wire cutter and after basic assembly with a hot glue gun:

More to come

Detailing that foam to look like the tank is going to be a nightmare. Do you have any solutions in mind? Would it be worth using thin plasticard, cutting it into each of the panels then glueing them on?

tomrommel1 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 15, 2018, 02:06:13 PM »

I will do panels from polystyrene. I have a cutte who can do up to 1mm thin slices. I did that with my Thunderhawk build too:

sorry should be "cutter". I use this one:

That's really impressive. I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

That cutter tool goes on my birthday pressie list

tomrommel1 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2018, 07:41:48 AM »

it is very recommended indeed . I am using some MDF gadgets for it too. They are from Shiftinglands (https://www.shiftinglands.com). They help me cutting really thin sheets or angles, curves and domes.

I did some more work on the Leman Russ body yesterday. The rough detailing started.

Size comparison with one of the band members.

Thats how it looks at the moment.

This is so much like CAD. That machine looks the ducks guts as well. I want one!

Given CAD is just drafting done on a computer and a lot of drafting tools look like this, not shocked. Why it surprises me that people feel intimidated by 3D modelling - it just drawing things with an extra plane
