The Lifta Wagon

I Couldn't think of a better picture to start this post!
So after much hard work, the Lifta Wagon is 95% complete, since it's last post I have cracked on and painted up the rest of the crew, the Tyres (I lied, they didn't need pumping up) exhaust pipes, rust, and lots of work has gone into painting the Lifta Arm and Weapon itself... (to name just a few.)

Such a Beast that one spotter was just not enough!
A real pleasure to paint, I estimate that a good 15+ hours have been put into this, which is probably more than I have ever spent on a single model... 

The Mekboy

I love the crooked grin, the look of glee as he pulls that lever down and ruins someones day... I will also get round to fixing that arm... 


Tyres...

And Tracks

As you can see above, there is a decent amount of rust setting in, just a light drybrushing with some brown paint (Vermin Brown I believe) was used to create this effect, and It has to be said I'm really pleased with how its come out, to me, I feel its just the right amount. 

And a few more further out shots, for the whole picture...

The Real Thing!

Cannot wait to drop this beast on the battlefield

The Other Side?

So what's next for the Bad Moons, a very good question indeed, I may have already started on their next Wagon, this one however wont be nearly as fancy, used to escort a mob of Ork Boyz around... That's not to say it isn't a massive conversion though... Here's what I've got so far...

The Chasis ready to be added to

The very, very basics...
There is, obviously a hell of a lot of work to go into this model before I even think about adding any colour to it, my main problem I feel is how will I get the vehicle to have that Battle Wagon feel to it... I would want to confuse/piss off my opponent.
