Hello, Kaesar II here, building my first scratchbuilt vehicle. I'm intending on doing some orky vehicles later, but so far, That will be saved for later. Anyway, I am building up a Space Marines force, or rather an Ultramarines force, mind you a minorly corrupted vision of the Ultramarines, but Ultramarines nonetheless, and how would a Space Marines force be complete without their main mode of transportation from space to surface and surface back to space? With this idea in mind, I went into a folder I like to call 40k Paper things, which I conveniently use to contain data files on basic to complex blueprints for vehicles and such that I may desire to build. So, I went in and printed some plain and basic wall portions, to give me a general idea of what its dimensions should be. This is from Cypher's (no clue of the designer other than the name) collection of images to make a Thunderhawk:

With these as a basic idea, I'm gonna use what, in my area, is titled as Ghostboard, for its little 1 cm squared squares, which is foamboard or whatnot else, generally intended to be used as a trifold display or something. And here is a picture of that:

I figure I can just start with this and make it up from there, using pictures, other instructions, etc. for reference as well, and using this thread to show my results to this part of the gaming world. Now, naturally this won't be completed overnight, nor will it even likely be completed in a week, as I am quite the lazy modeler. In other words, for lack of a better reason, I'll probably do plenty of looking at random threads and youtube videos when I could be getting around to the bird, and will probably get around to it when I should be working on homework. Sue me

This looks like it might take a while... Good Luck.


Moving to Blogs.

Hey that template looks mighty familiar...... Oh wait I know they are mine....


Why not start were I started on my guide. (that reminds me I should get around to painting my T.Hawk)

@insaniak: thanks for the move; I hadn't much idea where it shoulda been put.

And so, Clt, then you are the infamous Cypher, I assume. Wonderful, and I shall take a look at your guide, since I am indeed building to build it as best I can, using such resources as I can. Then, preempitvely, thanks for putting the cache up on the internet for me to find in my wanderings.
