Well I had an Idea of how I wanted this to go and it didn't go that way but after the dust has settled this is what I got so far. This was a lot harder than I thought to make scratch stuff from plastic card. So here it is. It's not done yet I have no weapons on it.

looks Really nice. But one think is i dont see any mechanical arms or something that can hold a Dread on its back.

It's a WIP I just finished them I will post the new pics soon.

Here is the latest.

Anyone know where I might get a twin linked plasma cannon?

Really cool conversion. Where is that cockpit from?

Snow speeder... The Force is with the Emporium

Really cool conversion. Where is that cockpit from?

I think it is a really big X-Wing cockpit.

Anyway, cool conversion, I like what you did with the COD doors, it makes it stand out.

You could try two Setinel Plasma Cannons glued together and place a razorback gun cover on it.

Can't wait to see it painted!

I suck at paint man don't get your hopes up but I do my best. The guys on this forum can really paint I am a real ham&egger compared to them

Here are some pics to show the clamps in the back better and some more pics to show scale.

Nope, Definately a Snowspeeder cockpit. http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/Snow-Speeder-model-kit.jpg
That's the first thing I noticed. Good conversion though.

Okay here is an update to the project I need some advice though. As you will see I have the plasma cannons and the blood strike missiles attached and I think looking good.

What I want your opinion on is where I should but the MM when they arrive from ebay?I also want some Ideas for the hurricane botlers that wont cost to much the budget for this project is starting to look like the JSF. I wanted to add I am not a good or even average painter and have never claimed to be one so go easy on the paint job please.

Very nice!

As much as I eagerly await the 'official' model, I love seeing everyone's unique version!

That means a lot coming from a primarch.

Any take on what I should do with with MM when it arrives? Should I keep the hurricane bolters or change them?

The hurricane bolters are good. Only crit I have would be putting some more detail under the wing with the plasma cannons so they have some more significance, maybe some tightly wound cables or something (not exactly aerodynamic but...) just to give them some presence. The ramp's COD door is boss, btw. Maybe some wash on the missiles? On the last image the right the missile looks a lot better, cause the light is shading it!

thats loking fantastic fella well done

Thanks all

Yeah that looks awesome, one of the best versions I've seen actually.

It fits the marines style without looking like half a Landraider stuck to half a Valkyrie.

The doors at the back really do rock

Okay here it is!!

That is frickin sweet. It looks like an official model.
