Warbuggies 2

Recently I unboxed the Rat Rod Buggies, this is how they looked.

Rat Rods:



Here is a quick and basic How To Guide:

  1. Cut the Chassis length down and remove everything else including the rear leaf springs. 
  2. Glue the front Leaf Springs to the rear of the Chassis using small pieces of Plasticard to ensure they are level. 
  3. This should give you enough wheel clearance from the cab. I tend to glue them as far back as possible to help centralise the Axle on the rear section.
  4. Attatch the front axle to the front of the chassis, generally the further forward the better.
  5. Finally build the rest of the the Rat Rod to your desired design.
 As they have been on the workbench recently, I have been trying to get them finished.
Keep an eye out for the next update.

Warbuggies 1

As there was and still is no new model for the Ork Warbuggy, except for the old Gorkamorka one, I wanted to try something different.

Looking around on the internet at the time, very few people had made Rat Rods out of the Trukk kit as 'Counts As' Warbuggies, so I went ahead and started chopping and building.

This unit has 3 Rat Rod Buggies, but for now here is a look at the first one I started building;

Sticking with the Deffskulls theme I also started to do the classic Looted Landspeeder to Buggy conversion, but the first build only ever got as far as this;

With some slight trimming the Kromlech Ork Driver fits nicely!
