A boy who recently rode the Transformer Ride at Universal, some cardboard, and a desire to make something Orks could use to get across the battlefield Started with some thin card and then more thin card Folded and glued that card into something shaped vaguely like Optimus Prime No enclosed back section, as it would prevent the boyz from firing their guns wildly everywhere Driver section should probably be enclosed Something along the lines of a Garbage Truck Too much open space up front Divider creates windowed sections Side doors would probably help as well Some reinforcements along the back also add more texture Can't decide which way the back section should be facing Back Section Front end gets grill and texture pieces Didn't look right without headlights and a bumper Ladders, Guardrail, and more texture pieces added Side View 45degree view Now, I need to find me some wheels...

Soda tops glued together might work, and they would have treads

Thank you for the suggestion KgStanley81. I've actually tried that before. For me at least, it ends up being fairly labor intensive to get them to look good. Nowadays, I just repurpose the wheels off of Dollar Store toys. Actually have a stash of them I need to dig through to find the right size for this project.

Games Workshop Warhammer 40K Ork for scale Added vertical bars by the grill, Thickened the Bumper and widened the top strip to better support the removable roof Internal horizontal support for roof. Added vertical supports around windows and horizontal bar across top of grill Added plating for additional texture and material strength.
