Finally got enough pain on my venoms to show them off a bit.

The first one is from a falcon grav I had laying around. I know its a little big and closed top but I really liked the model and need more venoms. If anyone really feels like arguing we can make it closed top, so I cant assault out of it but dont die so much on the damage table. As is its open topped, perhaps my DE ride on top.

The other 2 are vypers that have been lenthaned and then had some old raider and reaver bits attded on. I need to add on some of the new raider crew up they are still being painted.


All in all this was a lot easier than I expected.

I like the third one best. The second one looks great except for that exposed cargo/transport area in the back. Maybe if you put "roll bars" or something over the top and painted it blue like the rest of it it wouldn't look so exposed.

Great job!

yeah that one is my favorite too. It looks really good with the hanging on guys from the new raider kit.

The second one does look kind of long :( its also too metalic at the back but I wanted to have more room for the cargo and I happened to have that back piece laying around...

The Falcon one was just for fun. I was trying to figure out what to do with it and this does give me another venom!

I like the second one best, but you need chains or something to hold on to!

The second one gets my vote, it just needs some hand rails on the side. The first fails to convey the feeling of an open-topped transport and the third doesn't look like it can transport anything.

copy away, just acknowledge what you steal!

I wasnt the first to come up with the idea to convert a vyper. I found online how to lenthen the body of the vyper to make it slighty bigger.

The only thing innovative I think I came up with was the scatterlasers with old reaver hull covers on the wings. I was really please with how that came out.

I'd like the 2nd one the best, if it didn't just look like you slapped a prototype advanced TIE fighter wing on the back of a vyper .

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Of course I would never do anything of the sort as it might infringe on copyright....

some more photos.
I added the handing on crew to the one model that really needs it and painted the falcon one a little more.
