Rescuing The WORST Warhammer Mini on eBay…AGAIN!

[@PureMetalDragon]

I love how both Stompas look side by side, with one yellow with red accent with a grabby arm coming out of his belly, like he's ready to collect all the scrap on the battlefield, and the other red with yellow accent, with this massive amount of guns shoved in it, ready to make more scrap. Da Great Wreckeata and the Da Big Scrapmaka!

The piece of receipt roller you added to the project turned out bad ass. I like that it looks like they found and scavenged a few dirty pieces of the original Stompa. I really liked this one.

[@AzathothLives]

I dunno why, but the ork in the crows nest really does it for me. It just immediately pulls this narrative in my mind of the little guy calling out targets to the gun crews... the giant stompa laboriously turning, before unleashing an entirely unreasonable amount of firepower downstream. Its a great touch, and putting those models up there and along the scaffolding really gives scale to the whole thing.

[@terrencemiltner1005]

I think it would have been really funny to stick an ork arm with a shoota out from the belly like one of the orks got excited and stuck it through the wall of guns so he could do some blasting of his own!

Well its weird coming across a random KZbin video that references someone you know irl. My sister use to work at the same harveys as Dave. Had to rewind like 6 times just to confirm i wasnt going crazy. Dude is a mega amazing artist

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Haha, that's amazing! Small world for sure. He is a fantastic artist, he even made me a really cool piece based on this project, really nice dude and very talented!

[@HyperShadowXX]

I am so glad this video exists. Like many, I was disappointed that the original concept was lost on the first video, but now, It's truly a sight to behold. Excellent work, really enjoyed this one.

[@hmmm348]

Really enjoyed this. I also felt originally disappointed you didn't do the original stompa with Dakka crammed in the middle. Glad you revisited the concept. That video inspired me to get back into the hobby though. I bought a cheap vindicator someone had attempted to convert into a battlewagon using far too much superglue and half covered in house paint. I cleaned everything off (mostly, still need to do a final clean) and combined it with a base battlewagon I had that was missing the Ard case and killcanon upgrades. The resulting kit-bash resulted in a front that vaguely resembles a vindicator, with front tracks flipped over and exhausts removed, flipped and attached to one side, the canon sits above the front square amor plates which rest almost perfectly over the battlewagons grill, which I had to separate and reposition (most of the original battlewagon is still there, but had to be separated and moved). Naturally I added sharp pointy bits to those armor plates, turning them into teef. I used remaining armor and plasticard to create an Ard case which I can slot in and out at the back like the official ones. My biggest frustration at the moment is I'm in this weird situation where I'm vaguely uncertain as to whether it's finished or not. Or whether I need to start adding a few final panels, do my rivets and a final clean and start painting. It's hard to know when a custom piece is finished. It's a little frustrating.

[@bumblingbongo7969]

ork stuff exists in this superposition of both its done and it still needs more. when you think about it

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

That sounds like a great project, and welcome back! Way to dive in head first too :) It’s always super hard to know when it’s “done” especially for ork stuff. Even doing this stomps I was questioning myself up until the end on whether or not to add more stuff, but at the end of the day I could sit back and say, yeah, that looks sweet, and that has always been a good indicator for me to just stop and appreciate what a model is. And honestly, you can always go back even after it’s painted to add more stuff :)

[@CadDriftarus]

So, ai know thos is a year late, but for anyone else struggling with this; I don't assemble or paint minis, but as a model artist in general, if you feel you can't decide whether it's finished or not, take a small break and see how you feel when coming back to it. I have ruined many a project by deciding it was finished too early or butchering an already decent job by thinking it was unfinished. Right now I'm having to restart my E2046 GK contest entry from near scratch because it's just got too much paint on it as a result of bad design and repaint choices lol

[@hmmm348]

Thanks for your reply! I think I will revisit it again. I think I actually went overboard with the paint and am rethinking painting it to have a few patches of Ultramarine colours, but otherwise go hard with bare metal and rubbed back rust

[@Sturmensky]

Extremely happy you revisited the concept! While the original rescue looked gorgeous, it's joyous seeing the spirit of our neon lord rising once more! I think you did a masterful job revisiting it. This job really strikes me as a proper homage to the original.

[@eBayMiniatureRescues]

Very much appreciated! Im really happy that I was able to get to it sooner than later. I just happened across another stomps and it made perfect sense!

[@Sturmensky]

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Funny how it works out, eh? Speaking of, I'm glad you included that bit about how long and expensive this build was. I think it's easy for us viewers to sometimes lose perspective on how intensive these rescues can be. So, especially on a video related to such a, uh, "contentious" build, it's good to be reminded that this is a genuine investment on your part - both in time and money; and you aren't making these decisions willy-nilly. Wholly unrelated to that: I really liked the spears. Not only practical for the build's structural integrity, but they make nice stabba sticks. Extra useful for keeping shiny boyz away from the big shootas!

[@XaoFakeNick]

This has to be one of the best worked hobby model I have ever seen.

[@Jonj57]

I primed & painted an imperial knight with a citadel basic brush recently as it's all I had on hand. That one task took me hooooours and gave me a much better understanding of how much work goes into bigger models like this. Amazing work man

[@felix-jp8ij]

plastic card is a MUST when assembling any Ork vehicle. Lets you cover up accidents, add extra armour to areas that need it and even create some custom little areas like enclosed cabs or gun housing. Just make sure to rough up the edges with your hobby knife and add rivets using 1mm plastic rod.

[@alexdoran527]

Amazing work Casey. I like how the two Stompas look similar enough that they look like they belong in the same game and army, but different enough to sell the crazy, chaotic nature of the Orks. It's a tough balancing act but done perfectly here!

[@kailashblades]

Might sound strange but I think while this is great work and clearly a technically superior model there's a certain magic and energy to the original which hasn't translated over. I understand the desire to tone down the scale of the guns and use symmetry to help give the additional weaponry an air of authenticity but as it currently stands it's almost the only symmetrical part on the model. In a way compared to the ramshackle outer plating , random exhaust and one sided crows nest it almost makes the guns fit the model LESS. The way everything tesselates so nicely almost makes it look like it belongs on a space marine vehicle rather than a scrapped together ork behemoth. I think seeing the art of the original maker really helps to understand the manic, overwhelming effect he was going for in the original. Rather than a compartment opening to reveal a stack of large guns it more looks some kind of junkyard chestbuster scene. The guns breeding and swarming organically in the chest then exploding their way out, frantically reaching forward like a nest full of baby birds. Much like his drawings, the mind boggles to make sense of it. Again- great work but maybe something else to try for round 3!

[@baval5]

Awesome, so happy you came back and did this justice. The two of them next to each other feel like a true tribute to Gork and Mork and they really highlight each other when standing side by side like that.

These monsters are awesome models and the creativity that went into making the both of them work is also pretty awesome. Good work, Casey!

Tip for ya man. After years of experimenting with stripping plastic I actually found 1 thing that works and works well but it is ONLY this 1 product. Cutex Acetone Free. Its a browny orange colour, leave it in for half an hour, pull it out then scrub off the paint with an tooth brush ((one thats quite chunky and thick would help more)). This is how I resurrected all my original 2nd ed minatures from when I first started :) For metal though you need celulose thinners ((car paint stripper)).

This is where getting models of MLRS and artillery pieces and anything with tons of missiles (maybe even a Titan II or Minuteman model) would come in handy for just adding massive amount of ordinance all over it.

I really like how the thing turned out positively stupid. Just imagine a rolling pile of junk turn up in the middle of a firefight with Orks, the front opens up, and out comes the equivalent firepower of a heavily outfitted warlord titan. It's completely, unequivocally beyond reason, _and it's beautiful. _*_It's perfect._* Also, i love how the left arm's flamer probably stopped working at some point, and the Orks just retrofitted the weapon with a pointy stick.

[@thequestbro]

Yea I am so glad you revisited this, I felt you did the original model a grave injustice not working with the original design to turn it into something highly workable. It was less of a rescue and more of a refurbishment. I'm glad you're finally righting this wrong.
