Description as you all know I’ve been having some troubles with the rubber wheels I originally brought for the doom-vees; such as removing the mould lines and dry brushing the dust on them. I eventually came up with a alternative solution which was to replace the rubber wheels with armoured plates, just like the old Ork battlewagons.
Well it took all Sunday afternoon & evening to create all 36 panels and I only just managed to complete the 2 doom-vees at 3 this morning ready for the doubles tournament today.

Here they are modelled on the Command Doom-vee; extra pts for the personal who can tell me what the Ork glyph means?

While they may take longer to build and I’d have to build another 180 ‘shudder’ they do look a lot smoother when drybrushed compared to the rubber wheels were the drybrushing is all over the place due to the shape and texture.

“So what do you think to the new Ard Wheels; are they an improvement or do you prefer the rubber wheels?”

I like the rubber wheels the best...their detail and form is really nice and they just look like...big fat baddass wheels!

I just checked out your gallery, you do some really nice work.

As far as the wheels go, i cant really decide which version i like more. Both look quite good for different reasons. Great work overall though, ill be watching

I actually prefer the rubber wheels I think, but that opinion is very much swayed by my preference for realism with regards to things like this.
