Stompa update

There hasn't been too much work going on with the Stompa for Orktober since my last update, so I feel we will need an Orkvember too. And today I have gotten a long way with the flamer that will replace the big chainsword. 
I am quite happy with the way things are turning out with the Stompa even though it takes me far longer than I had originaly planned. Also I have had a small setbak with the body, as one of the cut beams that holds the gun shield up has fallen off. The gunshield is sitting solid though, but I need to find a way to stick it back on as it looks a little weird with just one beam holding it up.


This is what the arm looks like right now. I will need to put a little greenstuf or something on the big hose going from the arm to the weapon as it is a little gap there.
I have manged to use most of the hoses from the original setup. What is missing now is to glue the two fueldrums to the other side of the gun an glue on the shouderguard and then I think I can call this arm done. There is also a hose I will try to add between the two fueldrums. I will also see if I can fit a bigger tank or some more fueldrums somewhere on the back of the Stompa as I imagine a flamer like this will go through a lot of prometheum. 

The next step is to make the left arm. This will be modified slightly from the original to make it different from the one on my first Stompa. The idea as I might have mentiones before is to add a Dethsrike missile to the arm. Originly I had planned not to have the big gun, but I have decided to use that as the rail to fire off the rocket in  steady way. Ocorse, being pillaged from the Astra Militrum it is nowhere near as powerful as it is being fired from an Astra militarum weapons platform, but it will still make a big boom. Then I will see what I can add of other weapons. The original Stompa using a hammer on what is a big bomb for him, and I would love to see if I could replicate it with the Dethstrike as that would make a great explanation why it doesn't perform as great as the original.
