Is this the WW board that's serving as inspiration?

**bobbuilder**

hi, no, never seen it until now but looks amazing, fantastic layout, my inspiration came from GW rig, the paint job from a chemical plant near me that had closed many years before and that's how the paint looks now

**Briancj**

That was one of the tables at Warhammer World 'bout a year and a half ago, when I was able to visit.

**JoeRugby**

Love that fork list dude

**Warboss_Waaazag**

This build is enormous and not even just the current section. It looks like you have 3 or more decks below that to finish it all off.

thanks, I wanted to add some movement to the landing pad so was thinking of a cargo transporter landing, found a cheap stormraven on ebay to cut up, it will hold a cut down games workshop container, will be something on the lines of the forge world thunderhawk transporter, heers where i'm up to

**Briancj**

Nice! I kitbashed a pair of cheap ones into a full-sized Transporter, which I need to finish someday.

Are you going to make the Chibihawk into a kind of transporter/carry-all, like either of these:

Spoiler:

... or more make the container part of the fuselage?

hi, yes something similar, like the thunderhawk transporter below

**Kid_Kyoto**

Oh looking forward to seeing that Chibi Hawk all grown up to its natural role as a cargo hauler.

**bobbuilder**

weathered the pipes and added some chain which I also weathered

full shot of the landing area now

**bobbuilder**

the transporter continues

**Briancj**

NICE use of the eagles!

tested the transporter on landing pad only to find crane in way as was flooring from control tower, broke the crane removing so added some chain for strength repositioned and removed floor from tower

**bobbuilder**

only managed to get extra flooring and rusting fencing done today

**bobbuilder**

small update, added a little detail inside the transporter, most of inside wont be seen so no need to go mad, started the clamps on the cargo container

**bobbuilder**

so had to paint container as wont be able to access once fitted, i'll mask off when painting the transporter, added some detail to the clamping mechanism, thanks for looking

added some communications antenna and lights to front

Loving the transporter, y'know it looks like you've hacked the code for the plastic thunderhawk.

What did you make the control tower out of?

**darkcloak**

First glance: Oh what a great game board idea!

Second glance: Why the hell is he cutting up a Stormraven?!?!?!

Third: Oh, a Thunderhawk Transport!

Wicked blog mate.

**Briancj**

Well, not quite a T-Hawk sized ship, but definitely a WAY cool conversion.

thanks joe

getting transporter ready for paint doesn't need to be precise as going to be worn look anyway, had to mask off container and added front wings and also covered stand opening

**bobbuilder**

most of the transporter painted, just a few bits to finish,
