A special "Kustom" piece

This was an interesting piece I completed recently. I accidentally bought this off ebay.
The plan was to get a KFF Mek, and I think I must have skimmed the description and perhaps the photo. Careless really, but when I opened the package I had a small moment of raeg, feeling that I'd been gipped. What I had was a Lead warboss miniature with a scratch build collection of gubbinz on the back: something someone had cobbled together from their bitz box.
I went back to the listing, and realised my mistake. The photo was similar in general impression to the proper KFF mek, and the description had the word Kustom in it. I'd looked at the cheap price and hit bid without much more thought. But everything was in the description plain as day,so it was my fault.
... cup of tea... bit of a think...
Had another look at the miniature and realised it was a pretty nice job actually. Had a look at the listing, and you could see there were some personal details that were quite cute. The seller had even named the attack squig "Billy". Looked at that, looked back at the miniature, you could see some love had gone into it.
...hmm...
He sat on my painting desk for about a month looking at me. I did quite a few other projects, and had a nasty bout of flu which had my hands shaking so much I had to give painting a rest for about 3 weeks. But when I was finally ready, I realised that our mek's time had come.
There were some classic ebay miniature features: not for the first time, his equipment configuration was not in line with the Codex. He had both the KFF and the Kustom Mega Blaster, naughty naughty. The Blaster had to be chopped and replaced with something game legal. I'd had some metal Killa Kans, and one was equipped with a skorcha - again a senseless configuration: one of the only BS3 miniatures available to the orks with a short range template weapon? - so the swap was made. I nearly had my eye out when the dremel blade came off while trying to chop the metal, but it ended up as a nice job, and the miniature was one of those "it painted itself" moments, I had him done in two evenings.

A couple of burna boys with him too. At some point I'll get the rest of their mob completed.
