Mek Gun and Trukk Kitbash (1+1=4)

Here's a tutorial, or walk through on how I made 4 Mek Gunz from the Ork Mek Gun and Ork Trukk boxes. The basic idea is simple, use the Trukk wheels and bits to make gun carriages. I built the Tracktor kannon straight out of the box, and the other three are kitbashes... if you wanted you could mix and match all 4. I'd also recommend using other bits in your collection, but I refrained in the video to keep it simple... with the exception of the Kannon and Zapp gun from the Battle Wagon kit (I figure most Ork collectors will have one or two of those lying around.

Video after the break and pictures below. Any questions? ask away...

Ork Mek Gun Assembly video

Here's a video showing how the new Mek Gun assembles up. I have plans to kitbash the left over bits and a trukk to make some more guns for a whole battery. More pics after the break.

I was surprised how big this thing is... much larger than my old 2nd edition tracktor kannon and pulsa rokkit. Also, I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of magnetization options. I'm a bit disappointed by the guards on it too... the lack of options means if you have 5 of these side by side they are going to look pretty similar, which isn't what you're looking for with Orks.

It also isn't really compatible with the Kannon, zapp gun or lobba from the battle wagon kit. We'll have to see how my kit bash looks next to this.

Shokk attack Gun Side by Side

I was curious to see how closely the new plastic Shokk Attack Gun matched the old one. Mine's metal, but its most recently been finecast.

Anyway, they are very close in size, so using both of them together would be find, unlike some other kits GW has replaced with updated models (I'm looking at you Mek gunz).

**update** added some mek gun pics at the bottom of the post
