Wargaming Ninja Turtles: Sekret Projekt: ''Da Wing'' (Part 2)

In Part 1of this saga I showed you how to build the main frame of the ''Blorkade Runners'' (noun; orkish BlitzUlk: a space to ground assault ship. Will often bristle with weapons and have a small orkish crew.), now it's time to close that beautiful spaceship...

Step 6: Get more gubbinz...

For the ship's enclosure and ramp you'll need:

Materials:

-More of the Insulation Foam 1'' Thickness...But you should have a lot left from Part 1
-1 Plasticard Tube

-1 Plasticard Rod (shaped like rivets)

-1 Sheet of Very Thin Plasticard

-More Warhammer 40k Bits

-1 Textured Plasticard Sheet

-1 Thick Plasticard Sheet (I'll give you thickness soon)

-1 Brass Rod

Tools:

-White Glue

-Super Glue

-Cutter (or exacto)

-An Old Mouspad

So almost everything you used in the 1st Part plus couple of small additions...

Time to get the Gretchins to work, its time to...

Step 7: Close Dat Ship!!

Start cutting pieces of foam that will fit inside the beer glass, these will be the crew compartment (with my beer glass, I had to cut a piece 4'' long by 1.7'' large at the top and 2.5'' large at the bottom).

Check how it fits inside the glass, you want it low so those taller ork nobs don't knock their head against the roof (you know it puts them in a real bad mood ;))

Now take the Textured Plasticard and cut it (I think 0.5'' larger on the sides)

Another picture to show better.

Ideally it should look like this. You can always cut the foam and plasticard to make sure it fits inside. (It obvious but I'm telling you.) Glue the plasticard to the foam with white glue. DO NOT GLUE THE FOAM TO THE SHIP yet.

Put one of those leftover plastic beer glasses (the same you 're using for the frame) on the thick plasticard and draw a circle using the larger end.

Cut the circle with scissors.

If it looks like this, your orks can be proud of you!

Cut a door, try and take in consideration the deck. You want the door large enough that people will be able to see the inside of your ship.

Okay, my door isn't the most symmetric but it wORKS.

I replicated a Chimera (Warhammer 40k) door in thin plasticard, sure I could add rivets and greenstuff but I was lazy, feel free to do so.

I glued the small plastic door in the back of the ship. You might notice my deck is not horizontal...This is unacceptable! But it's okay because I didn't glue it yet (did you?).

For those who carefully read the instructions, you might have noticed that I didn't talk about gluing this deck yet and here's the reason: let's make it orky!! Glue bits of thick plasticard and random 40k bits on it, do it with an ork mentality = glue stuff laying around that orks would have. (ex: ammo, weapons, wheels, etc...)

Feel free to glue bits on the side of the glass, same with armor plates. Glue with white glue your foam deck to the ship, make sure it's aligned!

Glue, using superglue, the thick plasticard door frame to the plastic beer glass frame. Align it.

Step 8: Time to make a working ramp

Measure a plasticard tube from on side of the plasticard door frame to the other (you can scroll down a couple of pictures to get an idea), cut it into pieces, glue one of these pieces to the door.

Get the Brass rod and cut a piece long enough to fit in all three bits at the same time.

Close the ends.

Fit the door in the frame (don't glue!!), glue one end (aligning it) put the brass rod in and carefully glue the last end of the plasticard tube. All three should have the Brass Rod inside.

Step 9: It's time to do what you do best

In part 1 you got really good at putting armor plates and orkifying everything in your house with rivets...Well same here!!! Glue armor plates cut in thin plasticard and put rivets everywhere on that door, make sure nothing impedes it from opening. For an extra ''orky effect'' glue teeth made of thick plasticard to the top of the door. Add random 40k bits if you feel like it.

Tadaa! The door should work!

And you can see the inside!??! Crazy!

Zugnut making sure the gretchins are following the mek's instructions. One of the Deffkoptas I painted this weekend couldn't resist to show its colors.
