@Childe - I wouldn't be going back again, so how did you manage to go back twice?

Update: this is what I could do before I left, far to tired right now to do anything more

I agree. 6500 is a lot of Marines! Any chance of a full army shot?

Outstanding work Knightly... the freehand on the book really sells it.

Looks great, as always Knightley. My only point of concern would be the sword on top of the gunners hood. Seems a bit off. His sword may be crooked.........

I hope those fabulous-looking wing panels are secured to the landspeeder winglets with unobtanium-based glue, because I forsee them breaking off at every opportunity.

As always, gorgeous work. That screams "High speed attack vehicle"!

@MeatShield - Coming together? Did I miss something when I made it?

@Iron Father - I have a couple of shots on the front page of this blog and there will be another one once I finish 5 assault marines and the Stormraven

@Gits - Thank you!

@Ice - Yes your right with the sword, once the Ink is fully dry I might try to fix it up good spotting

@Briancj - I used plastic glue with plastic on plastic so it should last about 3 weeks... or until I pack it into the carry case

@Miss Dee - Cheers

@M.K - Thanks

@Graven - I used two sections of plastic card for each wing part, the outermost part ended up with a chamfered edge to mimic the Spacemarine edges you see on vehicles such as landraiders, the other parts are just stuck on to break up the large undetailed part. I got my inspiration from here
