More on Stalin and the Orkan

Another line-up shot of the crew.

I worked some more on the sculpt of Stalinz coat

Still pretty WIP and needs a lot of detailing

I will connect the holes with some more putty, making git look like stitches

The left side should pad (epaulette?) is also still to be done

Then I worked more on the Kazuchaah, adding some railing

Details and rivets in the rear

The left side

And the front

Also the main deck received some more plates and a lot of rivets.

The crew in position

Da bombs

ready to launch

and bomb 1 taking off

I will try to make some smoke with batting for the starting bomb

Before I went to bed I started to cut some glyphs

And here's an Intelligence Intercept from the Dencara system......

Cheers

Stalinz Orkan

Stalinz Orkan?
Whus dad?
Well, Stalinz Orkan will be my Ork version of "Stalins Organ" or "Stalinorgel" aka the BM-13 "Katyusha".

Actually the whole project will be for a new contest at Work in Progress:
"The Summer of Shelling" and artillery challenge -

Since my Imperial Guard is heavily involved in the building of the ZEUS super-heavy tank and the ATHENA airship, I decided to enter this challenge with my Stachelnschweinz Ork Clan.
This blog will be a secret blog (only email updates to some of my friends), but will serve after the challenge as a WIP and PIP protocol.

So, back to Stalinz Orkan.
In the end it will simply be a overglorified Grot Bomb Launcher, well, Multiple Grot Bomb Launcher, or "throw as many grot bombs at the enemy as possbile". I'm trying to capture a more cartoonish feeling and it will be based on the individual characters of the diorama.

So here is a first idea of the batteries Nob (not sure if I'll really name him Stalin) and his Grot mascott:

He will wear a simple uniform (plus probably a cloak) and his chest will be decorated with countless medals and stuff - soviet style. I'm not sure if he'll get a Stalin mustache, as that would probably cover his teeth.....
More images in my next post.
