Looted Salamander Scout Car

- UPDATED 14 July 2005 - This Salamander Scout Car was part of the haul old Gooba got on Gryphon III. Abandonded in the shop while having it's tracks replaced, it didn't require much attention to get it workable. It should make a fine addition to the Konviktz Armored Krumpany. In order to field it at the 2005 orkfest though, he could only devote a couple of hours. This is a quick conversion, we'll revisit it later on.

If you have time, check out the rest of the site too - including the ork army list, and the other conversions.

so 'ere we go!

	Here it is bein' hauled into da shop.
	And in it's original form

	After a little time, we were in business. The autocannon was magnet mounted, and some extra armor plates added to the front.
	The roof is from the gorkamorka digga trukk, cut down to fit.

	Next up was replaceing the imperial side doors.
	and adding a few engine modifications, such as a larger exhaust, and a new air intake. I also shaved off the Forgeworld handle on the rear door, and attached a better one.

	We tried making a new ram based on Dark Eldar biz, but finally decided it didn't quite fit.
	the side panel was swapped out, and the armor plates re-inforced along the lower edges. The simple glyph was also added. (Roof off for clarity).

	A fuel tank was next; after this, a short diving deck!!!
	Ah, the first coat of primer
	I added a rear "swim" deck.

	first down was a watered down coat of regal blue

	and than i changed gears and went back over it with a watered down vermin brown

	and than back over it again wih watered down regal blue for that rust look

	tin bitz drybrush

	and than a regal blue, followed by ultramarine blue drybrush

	finally a boltgun drybrush, and the teef were picked out again in vermin brown
	I tried to brighten the new side panels, but the effect is poor.
	I'll pull them off after orkfest.
	the roof did get a retouch, and there are still a lot of detailing to do.
