Trash Bash Killa Kan

 Do I play 40K? 

 Not anymore

Do I have space orc minis? 

Nope

Is there a single reason I should be working on a Killa Kan for a game I don't play, to go with minis I don't have? 

Yes, Gork and/or Mork inspired me. 

 

And with that, I grabbed an old GW paint pot, and my boxes of trash crafting supplies, and got to work.

I sawed off the threads of the lid, and cut out a cardboard disk to close up the hole. 

Then I used more cardboard, the clasp of a zip tie, and some tubing to make the face. Nothing was measured beyond holding it up and seeing if it looked good. 

Next I had to decide how I wanted to make the legs. I started with a 2" base, and dug through my bits. For one foot I used the inside of a cheap toy car (the interior bit that makes up the windows) that I found on the ground at the playground parking lot, and for the other, a random bit of plastic that was used to secure a toy to a box. Add in some tubing, and you've got some legs!

 

At least the lower half of them. Then it was time for MOAR BITS! and attaching the body to the legs. This did involve some pinning, super glue and hot glue. 

Arms! We need some arms for this bad boy... One side was going to be a shoota of some sort, the other a claw. 

The claw was probably the most work of the whole build. I had to double up the thickness of the card I was using to make it, and figuring out how to make it look like it could actually move involved a lot of looking at reference pics of both miniatures and actual robotic arms. 

As for the gun, it is mostly the corner protector piece from.... something. It was plastic and boxy, and had several holes in it. The shoota barrel is the tip of a marker. The only actual piece from a miniature is the red bit on top from a Reaper Miniature CAV mini. 

What makes an orky vehicle really orky? Rivets! I ordered these flat bottom beads from amazon, and got to gluing... 

Then it was Prime Time! 

This was followed by craft smart "metallic brown" then the real painting began!  It's sloppy, and I sarted it with paint markers, but overall I'm pleased with how it came out. 

I might go back and clean up a few details, but this is good enough to post, and more than good enough to put on the table, if I had any reason to.
