I'm beginning to wish I'd put some of the other suggestions up there now. It looks like either stormraven or dreadknight and defilers not too far behind.

Anyway, I will definitely be doing another one of these if I cut even as UK Games Day is in september so hello Golden Demon: 40k vehicle. If I'm able to cut even other times I will probably just keep it going, definitly if I make a profit from this. Thanks so much for all the support and thankyou to everyione who voted and commented.

Edit: I don't expect to win gloden demon, I'm not that good actually my painting is average to just above average. Just wanted to let you know.

Looted Eldar Wave Serpent/Falcon/Fire Prism

I've already looted one once for a friend of mine, and i would be interested to see what someone else decides to do for a looted Grav tank. unfortunately, the one i looted did not survive the traffic accident that put my friend in the hospital. On the plus side, my friend survived the accident. I wish i had pics of it, and now i never will, but it has made me even more determined to get pics of the rest of the stuff i have done for my friends here in the area. So yeah it would be nice to see a looted Grav tank.

I've decided that I'm going to enter one of these converted vehicles into the UK golden demon (40K vehicle) so I'm goin to end the voting at the first vehicle to get to 30 or at 125 votes total so vote if you haven't already. I will sell this one and the next I will probably sell but the one after that will be going to Golden Demon hopefully.

Also, since this is the first golden demon in which I can enter more than young bloods (at long last), i am also entering diorama with an ork snowmobile race diorama. I'll post a link later on although I've only made the first of three snowmobiles and haven't even got the supplies to make the base yet. May enter duel as well if I can get my painting of imperial fists up to standard. It's a lot but I've been waiting years to enter the proper categories so I'm going all out.

Sorry about this but I'm not gonna be able to start my other project (diorama) P&M blog tonight as th camera needs to charge but tomorrow. Just to let you know, it's three orks on snowmobiles (converted deffkoptas) racing down a mountain; one's hit a tree and is in mid-air, the other is laughing at the first as he goes through the warning tape and off a cliff and the third will just be on track and fine. Thankyou for your patience and we're almost there for voting.

LMAO, i can already see this with my minds eye. one suggestion, when you do the green stuff warning tape, be sure to not make my mistake and instead wrap the green stuff around a twist tie. this will give the green stuff ribbon tape more rigidity and will be less likely to break.

Huh. Difference between British and American english, I guess.

It's those little wires that come wrapped around the opening of Wonderbread sacks. Little tiny wire, with a flat bit of paper glued on either side to make it easier to see and grip. Don't actually know if you have those across the pond.

It's an act of symbolic desecration. Much like the love for the Looted Dreadknight.

Me, I voted Defiler (simply because it's a rare thing to see in my experience), but I could have gone Stormraven (counts-as Fighta-bomma) or Dreadknight (counts-as Mega-Dred) also.

Only once have I ever tried to build a normal drop pod and it was the most frustrating thing I have ever done so unless there is a lot of support, I won't be doing this for a quite a while. Sorry, I just hate that vehicle for being the one thing I can't really build.

Good to see that more challenges are now starting! Also, you may remeber me saying that 125 votes was the cut off point. You've reached it and the winner is stormraven

You can carry on voting for a while which will help me decide what to include in the poll for the next challenge. I will order my stormraven as soon as I can as well as lots of ork spare bits. Also, if you have any spare ork vehicle bits, i would be happy to give you money for them as there's a lack of vehicle bits on ebay and the like. Thankyou.

are you going to start a WIP thread for the looted Stormraven or will you just display the WIP reports here instead? I ask because i'm sure that along with myself, many others would like to see what you do and how you went about it.

Does anyone know of a trustworthy site where one can get some money off a stormraven? I'm not cheap, I just don't want to pay GW prices (obviously) and I will pass on any discounts/money saved to the auction starting price.

Only 40k and no heavy tanks or flyers and no titans or stompas or anything that big

MAKE A LOOTED TAU MANTA


obviously you just skimmed over the original post and didn't ACTUALLY read it did you?
a tau Manta falls under all three of the posters 'NO' conditions, 1) it's a super heavy, 2) it's a flyer, 3) it's titan BIG, so you can cross that idea off the list, cause it ain't gonna happen unless you want to DONATE a Tau Manta to one of us.
