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.
