DA'RIGHTARM (28 mm Ork Great Gargant wip)

 Hello there, little orks...!

So, our dear Mek Emilke has decided that, okay, we now have da'boots, to stomp and move and so, but... what about dakka? We really need dakka!!!

Two different teams of gretchin and grot asTeks are now working on the arms of our Great Gargant, each group following their own technical drawings and philosophy...

Let's see what are they doing!!!

THE PLANS OF TEAM "RRR" (DA'RIGHTARM TEAM)

So this arm will have a very big and nasty "gatling-gun", with a square shoulder and a dual-barrelled rotating turret, with periscopes at the end... Easy, right?

Let's start with the Gatling, we need to arrange the six barrels muzzels and reinforce all that section.

Then we just need to add all to a "Pringles" can, it just will fit perfectly into our Gargant!

Obviusly we need this thing to rotate, so a marker will do the job

Inside the can, a plastic tube will be guide for the rotation device...

On the other side, we design an elbow and the inner rotation rod of the arm itself:

And all together looks like this:

This white "spacer" will help us to avoid nasty problems with the turning arm of the Beast...

So now is time for the shoulder, with a square section made with foamboard and a transparent plastic tube that, once, was the blade of a LudoSport fencing lightsaber...

We need to reinforce the interior

Now we just add the "balcony" for the ork observers!

Looks pretty, don't you think so?

So, apart from the balcony, we need to add also a "pulpit" for another ork observer/gunner

And finnally we create a nice dual-barreled turret for the top of the shoulder

As you can see, the little gretchins added even a full set of periscopes to the thing.

And now all the main sections of DA'RIGHTARM are completed!

Let me introduce to you Gluck and Plick, two BadMoon ork orservers assigned to this Great Gargant. They are always fighting each other to find the best target...

Ok, now we need to scratch build a hatch to access to the shoulder, so we "copy" a GW official one, more or less...

And we reach da big moment... riveting time!!! We use different types of rivets to add more 'flavour' to the thing:

The rear access hatch finished and in place:

The ork gunner on the pulpit:

And our friends on the armoured observation balcony!

And, after 431 rivets, DA'RIGHTARM is ready to be painted...

Next week we will see what the hell is doing the other team with the left arm...

Hope you enjoyed! See you soon!

DA'BOOTS (28 mm Ork Great Gargant wip)

 Hello there...!

A Great Gargant is nothing but a big "Stompa", so first thing you need is a good pair of boots to stomp both humies' vehicles and beakies themselves...

Also, you all know that this blog is named "El taller de Emilque" (the workshop of EMILio and enriQUE), because of the workshop of my grandfather, Enrique Navarro I and his good fellow Emilio Delgado, shoemakers in Madrid back in the 50-70's... So making boots is something with deep roots in my family...

What we need? Some junky scrapyard materials, of course, like these:

Nothing fancy, just some cardboard pieces and plastic bottles.

After assembling, this is the result:

We have the general shape, bulky like in a cartoon, but this is OldSchool ScratchBuilding, so let's add some orky details and rivets, lots of rivets...

DA'RIGHT BOOT

Cereals box cardboard, different types of rivets (most of them selfmade with sliced green stuff), cables, etc.

DA'LEFT BOOT

In this case I have added a little 'joke', in the form of the logo of "Orcidas", sponsor of many BloodBowl teams and also of the Spanish National Football Team, proud 2026 World Cup winners...

Together they look manacing enough to stomp a Land Speeder, right?

The sole is full of roman-caligae style studs, just in case...

And the last thing we ask our laborer gretchins to add is some details to the ankles and attachment to the lower body, and we are ready to stomp!... I mean, to walk!

We have now a good base for our project, let's keep scratchbuilding next week!!!

Hope you enjoy, thanks and best regards from sunny Madrid Prime...

Emilke the Mad Mek iz back...

 

Hello there!!!

It's been a long time out of business, but now I am back... And with a lot of changes! First of all, this blog will be in english (or something like that) starting with this post. This is because I do not want anymore that anybody miss my work because he/she can not understand spanish...

I have started a new project, a titanic one (well, a "gargantuan" one will me more accurate), and I want to share it here and maybe at instagram (if I am able to recover my old account or in a new one).

Surely you remenber the oldschool-scratchbuilt ork Great Gargant I made for my good friend Suber. Well, it was done for the glory of Mork, and now Gork demands his own gigantic robot!!!

So I am working hard to scratch build a full 28mm Great Gargant, inspired on this oldschool iconic image:

Stay tuned to this blog, because my plan is to upload every week a part of the work-in-progress, following this detailled orkish schedule:

- DA'BOOTS

- DOWNTHERE

- DA'FRONT

- DA'BACK

- DA'RIGHTARM

- DA'OTHERARM

- DA'HEAD

- DA'PAINT

Hope to see you all soon... Thanks and best regards from Madrid!
