After I was done building my VW buggy from my picture thread I noticed that I had a few parts left, including a set of wheels, the engine and half of the buggy's undercarriage(?); Well it was the bit that the wheels plug into, I had the rear half with the axels that had been chopped off during the VW conversion.
The wheels and the half axel engine thing were screaming Ork artillery piece to me so I went the simple (and predictable) root of hacking of a Lasgun barrel from the IG HW sprue and stuck a boarding plank from a Trukk on the back to balance it out.
The Buggy engine already has space for the Buggy’s controls which I decided looked the part of a trigger and a charge lever.
I also had a grot on a stick left over from my Warbikes or possibly my Deff Dread and the front of the carriage had a little stick sized hole: This is almost too convenient since you can balance the grot on top of the wheel or barrel without gluing him to the gun; walla removable crewgrot.
