Trojan Rabbit Battlewagon
The fly lords aren’t always tactical number crunching or precision modeling. Occasionally we let our hair down and do something that’s rather silly. Case in point, this Monty Python style Ork battlewagon.
Yes, I know I have several other projects on the table, but I got inspired the other evening. So, 4 hours and 175 popsicle sticks later and we have the ork Trojan rabbit battlewagon.
I went all natural on this one. The entire frame and sidings were built with popsicle sticks. The only extras I used were the nails for the wheels (yes, they do spin) the hinges on the back and the metal studs for the eyes.
The hardest part, for me, had to be making the wheels. I cross laid four popsicle sticks over another 4 and let the glue set. I then came back and traced a circle on them. I had to use some heavy duty wire cutters to then cut out the circle, then spend a lot of time with the sand paper to get it to resemble something round. The rabbit’s head was done in a similar fashion, but the straight lines made it much easier to cut.
I think next I’ll make a giant wooden badger….
