Ork Blasta Bomma Scratchbuild

If you have been following my blog, you know San Diego resident Greg Teeuwen is becoming a legend when it comes to Orc scratch-building.  He has really been focusing on planes lately, thanks to a couple of clients who want massive air forces.  You can see the results in the number of Ork flyers in The Big Game.  Here Greg talks about his latest creation:

From Greg:

Thanks to the Big Game, the planes I've built got a lot of attention. One particular person wanted a Blasta Bomma along with some fighta-bomma escorts. The bomma took me about three weeks and is a close replica of my own. Of particular note, I put more effort into making the nose cannon different- in fact, I think his cannons are quite a bit more beefier than my own.

I also asked the client if there was anything "special" he wanted about the plane. He wanted the wings to look more "incomplete" or scrappy, and he wanted a ball turret. For one wing in particular, I left a huge hole exposing the ribbing and some cabling. As for the ball turret, I couldn't help but use grots, crowded in there. In typical grot fashion, one of them is hanging out the side plinking away with a hand gun.

As with my other commissioned planes, the client has requested a bare model, so he can prime and paint to his desire.
