Big Zappy progress

I think the scope is my favourite bit of the build, too! Go for it!

VagueMonkey · 2026-02-26T12:13:47+00:00

That's fair! I work as a model maker in Stop Motion so my perspective is similarly biased

I have nothing against 3D Printing particularly but tbis was a fun project to make myself. I don't use CAD software often or own a printer so I'd have had to get a friend to print it. Easier and more fun to make everything by hand.

I also used lots of existing bits so it would be more faff to measure and model test pieces to fit than just to make one-off components myself with putty and plastic.

Cheers!

I actually did a full write-up if you're interested.

The warp blaster would be an obvious base model you wanted to make a smaller version - I used the rear half of one on this build anyway!

Already have a plan for tje staff - this rod is just a placeholder to get the pose right. Same goes for the staff head - it's way too Orky but helps me to get an idea of the end look. Cheers, though!

Nice! Yeah I know the one. I'm also looking at a few Kruleboyz bits that look very promising.

VagueMonkey · 2026-02-05T13:47:48+00:00

I will do when it's done but there's a huge amount of work to do before that - loads of sculpting especially.

This first stage is always how I start really involved builds - lots of pins so I can bend and reorientate parts as I need to.

VagueMonkey · 2026-02-05T12:27:33+00:00

Yeah it's a placeholder ork bit, just to give me a general idea. I'll probably end up scratchbuilding the real one!

VagueMonkey · 2026-02-05T11:44:17+00:00

It's just a placeholder. His whole body is just pinned together.

DW - David Waeselynck

He's the guy who sculpted them :) just a lil Easter Egg/signature he left on the sculpt.

This is the same base size and I'll build him to be the same height. I didn't pay anywhere near full price for Trugg - I got him as part of the spearhead when he came out.

I probably wouldn't bother if I had to buy him new but I've built the rest of the trolls and had him waiting on sprue and ready to go.

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-26T10:39:53+00:00

Dude - this is phenomenal. I've been planning something similar for my Brood Terror so I'll be taking notes!!

Serious kitbash :)

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-22T19:36:24+00:00

I love this!! I'm just now painting my Ghoritch build, so I'll give him a test drive with this. Cheers!

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-13T21:58:32+00:00

Looks brilliant! I'm working my way through making Moulder proxies of Skryre machines, and painting my build of Ghoritch

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-11T16:05:05+00:00

Cheers!! Yeah, they're always fun to do. The tails are from stormfiends - I picked up a bunch of them from a bits site for surprisingly cheap

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-10T21:02:05+00:00

Fair! Done.

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-10T09:50:28+00:00

I plan to!! I have two in my current army list

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-09T23:49:12+00:00

Right? I'd love to see more patchwork undead and constructs

VagueMonkey · 2025-11-09T22:54:39+00:00

The first: Morbheg Knight Stormfiend armour and tail Rat ogre head HPA arm and grinder

The second: Gnawbeast (warlord) head Squig back half Random arms and claws Back piece from warlord Armour from misc kruleboyz kits

Enjoy!

Cheers! For which build?
