Hey I can be number 2!
I thought about trains for awhile, but too expensive and space taking for me right now. I would love to make a modern layout though.
And rescue valks would be awesome to see.

I also broke down and put the base 6th edition rulebook on preorder at my FLGS. Sigh. But I ain't shelling out for the stupid collector or gamer's edition CRAP.

Thanks for all the kind words! My army isn't nearly as large as my previous IG army, which had grown to about 120 men, 32 rough riders, two Baneblades, and about 20 Chimera and Russ-hulled variants. Automatically Appended Next Post: So, here's Salvage Valk #2. Thanks to the successful salvage of the canopies from #1, and a pair of canopies from poda_t, I should be set on canopies for the entire project!
This Valk is in fairly good shape. Missing the rear ramp, rear landing gear (worst part on the valk is the rear landing gear, shears off if you look at it wrong), a side-door, one engine intake, and the pilot and gunner have lost their heads. Otherwise, it is a good Valk. The original owner did an okay paint job, edged all the panel lines, painted the cockpit, etc.
I'm going to repaint the pilots, give them their heads back, and that'll be that. I've already salvaged parts from the bitz box, and the remaining Salvage Valk. I'm going to try and build a replacement tail and the 'elevator' wing between the booms, before going to eBay and buy bitz. If I can manage this, then I can move to painting this Valk immediately.
This Valk is going to be a 'rescue' craft, since I've always wanted to paint THIS scheme:
We'll see how it goes, I have a selection of Tamiya painting tape coming to me in the next couple of days.
Automatically Appended Next Post: A little more work needs to be done, some edging and some 'nega-rivet' drilling, but the new tailplanes are IN PLACE.

I would have to do a major disassembly job to get at the interior, so probably no divers/equipment on this one, alas. Automatically Appended Next Post: I have purchased the bitz required to salvage the last Valk to full flight status from Imperial Armoury. They're in the UK, so it'll take awhile to get here, but that's okay. Total cost for all three Valks is now at a little under $70, and I'm happy with that number.
Hopefully, the bitz to finish the last of my Tau projects will be here soon, so I can finish them and paint them and throw them up for sale. Time to move my old Dark Angels collection to eBay as well.

Hi, kids! Miss me? Forget who I am? That's okay. Dakka is fickle.
Have a Rescue Valk! I'm at the point where all the main colors have been laid down, layered, re-layered, and OMFG I HATE PAINTING RED AND WHITE WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?!
Here's some in-progress pictures, so you can see the layers going down.
And here's the primary painting complete. Next up, putting dark back into the recesses, chipping it up, and applying decals. A bit of work needed on the interior cockpit details.
