Here are a few Drop Pods that I painted up to match a Salamanders force. Any and all commentary are welcome.

Great freehand, and detailing. Do you have a closeup of the interior?

Awesome. The detail on the little blue dude just blows me away.

Flames and Lava even on drop pods, so Salamanders like, you pull it off perfectly.

Very nice work, but one thing always annoys me with drop pods. Arn't they meant to have just been through re-entry? Then why do they look so clean and "ash free"?

Very nicely done. I like the flames that you put on it. Could you show a picture of the interior?

I like those alot, grats on a job well done

Super smexy! Nice work!

Did you hinge the doors or just model it with one door open? I think it looks good, but I would also like to see a pic of the interior.

These doors are all on their hinges (also, there are some magnets to keep them closed). Here is a pic of the interior:

whats up with the little blue guy?

Garden Ninja Painting Studio. It's in his sig.

Yep, that's me.

Nice! I LOVE the obnoxious green color. Too many people become timid when it comes to obnoxious colors (why there aren't enough Slaaneshi players).

Out of curiosity, did you sculpt the salamanders symbol on the front?

Not really your fault, but this also bugs me. I'd hate to damage nice freehand, but it would definitely look more realistic to have some serious scorching on the bottom

Drop-pod could have some sort of shielding, Void or something, protects them during re-entry. BTW love the paint job.

They actually do have some blacking towards the bottom, just not a ton of it. Some of it just doesn't show up that well.
