BFG Battle Fleet Gothic - Ork Space Hulk

This was a space hulk I built for a then fledging Ork fleet a while back, all brought you in full "Roto-Bucket-Vision!!"

Update:
The space hulk was successfully sold on Ebay a few months back, and is now in its new home fleet.
As to a few rather negative comments I have received about this model, I really do not care if you didn't like it or not. This was one of several unfinished custom models that I had to sell to clear off space on my workbench. I thought I did a fairly decent job on it considering the simple construction methods used. It was never meant to be a golden daemon winner, just something unique and different for the ork fleet I was working on at the time.
Also, another motivation behind the model was to show how easy it was to make your own space hulk, especially considering that GW really does not give you much in the line of help to do so. Pretty much anyone with a glue gun, a few lava rocks, and some old toys can make one of their own. Overall, this model ran me about $10, which is a steal considering how much any other ship model costs in BFG, large or small.

So in the end, I enjoyed making this model, and the new owner seems to be appreciating it as well. And that my friends, is what this hobby was supposed to be about. Wasn't it?

hot glue fail.

[cudaslayer]

@mefpazur How so? It held together quite well, and looks better than what they had in the book.

[mefpazur]

@cudaslayer Do't get upset, I just hate hot glue because it's like the most unprofessional thing that could be ever used to hold stuff together. It's messy, awfull and hard to paint over.

While I can imagine your Hulk looking quite nice after being well painted, I'm pretty sure all these blobs would be still visible, sticking out like some scary goo of Nurgle.

It's about the same nastiness as having a great painted model with flash lines sticking out.

[cudaslayer]

@mefpazur Not really, a few swipes with a cigarette lighter smooths it out, and a little careful paint will cover it up. And I am not mad at all, your comment was just kind of "out of left field" so to speak.

[CaptainJoystick]

Is that a Chivay it's built around? Or some other neo-zeon ship? It looks decidedly familiar to me...

[cudaslayer]

@CaptainJoystick Yep, it was once a Zion ship.

i likw da engins but da rok needs more DAKKA not nuf kannons, nuf said.

[SpartanG17]

Thats one good thing about orks. Throw something like this together and it looks great.

[Artuditu123]

Look better that any hulk I even seen in my friends fleets, but i recommend to make prow more sharp (prow of Imperial/chaos cruiser will be ok).

[paradamed]

Cool model. Post a video after you paint it, pls.

[wigster600]
