This is a model that I sold on eBay a few years back.
It was before I got back into playing Warhammer 40K again.
I had a few of these which I got cheap in a GW sale well over 10-15 years ago now.

I have often used the gunners from Ork Buggies in many conversions.
This is an Ork Flagwagon with Gunners.
This is an Ork Battlefortress with Gunners.
This of course leaves the warbuggies…
One conversion I started was based on the vehicles from Jurassic Park II which were used to capture dinosaurs. I saw these vehicles as squig capturing buggies, the squigs would then be used either in small packs, to grow into Squiggoths or for food.
The conversion used the arm from an Ork Dreadnought which was snipped off to make a Killa Kan.
Here are two Heavy Weapon Ork Buggies towing Big Gunz.
The Buggies have had their gunner replaced with a Flak weapon from a Flakwagon, whilst one of the Big Gunz is a conversion of a flak weapon from a Flakwagon).
The Buggies were given a black undercoat, dry-brushed with Tin Bitz and Chainmail, details were picked out in red and orks painted green.
The Gunz were given a white undercoat, the black elements (the tires) were painted first, before the rest of the model was painted red. They were then given a thinned chestnut ink wash.
