Welcome to Tork's Mek Shop. Here you can check out some of
my vehicle conversions and building projects, both past and
present. All the stuff you see on this page is part my own
personal collection. You can check out the Commissions
section for some of my 'For Hire' work.

Current Projects
|
 |
Looted Wagon - started on 6/21/10
I decided I need some more armor in
my Ork army. Looted Wagons aren't exactly the most effective
vehicles in the Ork arsenal, but they get points for style. |
 |
Tork's
Wrecka - started on 5/25/10
Tork, my Big Mek, has been needing a
ride for a while now. What better way for a Big Mek to ride
in style than a monster tow trukk. Gotta have some way of
hauling the loot back to his shop. |

Crimson
Fists Space Marines- started on
8/1/09
I've been wanting to do a Space Marines
army for a while now, mostly as an extra army for my orks
to beat on. The gang over on Warseer
are doing a Tale of 40k Painters thread, where
the participants paint a 2000 point army over the course
of a year. In addition to that thread, I'll be posting pictures
of my progress here. |
 |
Who
let da Squigs Out?- started on
5/7/09
No, this is NOT a dance club remix of
that infamous
song by the Baja Men. It's just my idea for getting
some more mileage out of all the attack squig models I have
lying around. |
Completed Projects
|
 |
Da
Ninerz
This is my Orc team for Blood Bowl.
Since I live in San Francisco, and I'm a die-hard 49er fan,
I figured I'd paint these guys up in the colors of my favorite
team. |
 |
Deff
Dread and Killa Kanz
The gang at my local game store hooked
me up with the new plastic Deff Dread and Killa Kan kits
for the Orks... two weeks before the release date.
I painted these up as a store display.
Once the release date passed... these babies were mine to
keep! |
 |
Vommit
Kommitz
These are my custom Deff Koptas. For
a while I thought I would prefer the official ones from
the Assault on Black Reach starter set, but I finally
came to my senses.
Who the hell was I trying to fool by
thinking I could field a stock model? Silly me. |
 |
Assault
on Black Reach
I have big plans for the 40k starter
set. A new Warboss model, Nobz (who are going to be converted
in Cyborks), Deff Koptas, and a bunch o' Boyz.
I have my work cut out for me, that's
for sure. |
 |
Dokta
Chop
Good 'ol Dokta Chop, often just referred
to as "Da Dok", is my custom Painboy. Soon he'll
start 'eksperimentin' on some of the Nobs from the Assault
on Black Reach set. |
 |
Tater
Titan
With the Apocalypse expansion
out for 40k, I needed something BIG for the orks to play
with. This is my custom Ork Stompa, using a Mr. Potato Head
as a base for the chassis. It took me a year and a half
to build and paint this thing, but it was worth the wait. |
 |
Scrap
Gun
The Grotzooka is the best thing
to happen to Killa Kanz in a long time. Since the boys at
GW don't make a model for it, I'm forced to take matters
into my own hands.
This was my first attempt at designing
a custom piece and then making a mold to cast it in resin.
|
 |
Da
BIG Trukk
When you need to haul a LOT of boyz,
and a Wartrukk just isn't big enough, call in Da BIG Trukk.
I took a toy monster truck, and really went to town. Custom
chassis. BIG tires. The Works! |
 |
Converted Wartrukk
I took the stock, weedy Games Workshop wartrukk and turned into a respectable ride for my Trukkboyz. |
 |
Scratch-built Wartrukk
After converting a GW wartrukk, I wanted to build one from the ground up. |
Da Back Burna
|
These are some projects
that I have put on hold for one reason or another. I'll
get back to them eventually.

Tork's
Mek Shop - started on 7/13/07
If I'm going to have a respectable 'Mek
Shop' section, I figured I'd need to build an actual Mek
Shop. I always liked the Mek Shop from the Dawn of War
game, so I based this design on it. This project is on hold
since I've got another idea in my mad mek brain for a bigger
and better Mek Shop. |
 |
Cutaway
Stompa - started on 3/08/09
The 'official' Stompa is out, and I've
got some big plans for it.
Ever build one of those 'Visible Man'
models when you were a kid? You know, the one with the clear
plastic body and all the bones and guts inside? Well, my
Stompa is going to be kinda like that. Only with Grots.
:-)

????? - started on 7/19/07
This is a Top Secret project. Shhhhhh!
No, I can't tell you what it is. Ok, maybe just one hint.
It involves Orks and Eldar. Thouroughly confused yet? Good.
This isn't really much of a project log, it's more of a
way for me to track when I started. Let's see how long it
takes me to finish this thing. |
