Lovely work so far, I love T-hawk projects! I'm rather stuck in the past so I've never attempted a modern looking scratch build myself. All the paneling and detailing is top notch, it will look great on the battle field!

Zinge Industries have a nice range of turbo fans, and other stuff...

thanks! please post some pictures of your hawk, it´s always nice to see what others have done to get the inspiration flowing

When I get time Ill start a thred for it upload pics onto it and repuly on this thred saying its up with a hiperlink.(I wont bother puting pics on her because this is your thred..Or Ill put one or two I fyour desprate..check out my blog.)

That looks great! Keep it up dude.

Looks really good. Look forward to seeing the results.

It looks awesome, well done! I'm looking forward to the final piece.

soon done... wel almost anyways
Laninggear and weapons is up next

started on the lascannon wings...

the predator lascannon was a bit to short, so I cut it down and used a imperial guard cannon to lengthen it a bit

and of course the hawk in al its present glory










Lots left do do... but soon its ready for apocalypse. well some painting left of course...

Nice updates!
Also on your op you have a link to where you got the templates form every time I click on it comes to a login page. Its getting really annoying, could you do another one that lets others see it because I would love to see It.

Superb work, Nexus!

Can we get some close ups of the rof details?

I have been a busy little bee


front and rear landing gear done... the hole is for the soon to be made flying base. Any ideas on what to use as a base? I have a 10 mm aluminium tube to mount it on but no base... It needs to be quite sturdy since the whole thing is going to be a bit topheavy



closeup of rear landing gear (seems that I forgot to take a closeup picture of the front fore some reason...)


Lascannon wing mounted. I used magnets so it would be possible to angel the wing in "attack mode" but the thing was to heavy and will not stay up in the right angle... have to figure some thing out...


front twinlinked heavy bolter


big a$$ cannon... (the pic is a bit blury for some reason... I´ll take a better one next time)


the whole thunderhawk in done (well that side any ways...)

Very nice work! Have you done a lot of other scratchbuild projects, or are you equal parts raw talent and ambition?

Keep it up! Subscribed!

Cheers,
Rawson

thanks!
Its not my first build, but it´s one of the largest ones... and the one that I´m the most pleased whit.

If you are interested you can find some of my other scratchbuild projects here on dakka

Very impressive dude.

Great scratch build so far, can't wait to see it painted.

WOW, just WOW. Staggerinlgy excellent, awesome, bodacious, radical dude.

Now look what you've done, you've made me go all 80s with your awesomeness...


@HAZZER, look for the home page on the BWC link, you need to sign up to the Yahoo group to get access to the files, it's well worth the effort, plenty of cool stuff in there. Or you could try this site http://www.goldenboltersociety.com/paperhammer40k

It has been a while... we have had very nice weather here in southern Sweden lately, no time to be couped up in side playing with platicard. Well thats what my girlfriend tels me anyway...

But I have managed to squeeze in some build time, and am pleased to say that the hawk is done and ready for some paint. And here´s some pics to prove it

the business end...

twin-linked heavy bolter on main wing. Made from razorback heavy bolters


"Lock S-foils in attack position"


time to shake up the spraypaint can...

Badass! Been waiting for this post for ages!! Well done Nexus6!

thanks! I will hopefully put some paint on it tonight... more pics to come

Ha, you have basicly done the same as me for he guns!Lol!

Wonderful work, quite possibly the best scratch-built Thunderhawk I've seen!

Here,here!

Very impressive work here. You've done an incredible job with all the detail.

one can of gw chaos black and one can of armypainter red later...






unfortunately the only place were I didn't cover the paper became "bubbly" from the paint... hope it straitens it self out, because I have no idea on how to fix it...

Awesome build, hope the wrinkles work out. Can't wait to see more!

Looking great! The bubbles are unfortunate, but if they don't straighten themselves out, maybe you could paint them up as some sort of battle damage. Heat deformation or somesuch, maybe.

Sweet scratch build dood! One beef i have is it seems to be missing rivets on the side panels. Or i just can't see them

Nice basic basecoat!Are you going to do a was to add deth and druybrushed hilights?(I would bearing in mind that you have spen so long on it and it probley look even better too!)

Really, really cool stuff. If the bubbles don't fix themselves, you should just put plasticard over them and paint the additions.

The best T-hawk scratch ive ever seen i believe! Epic.

Reall inspiring too, feel the need to bust out my half-attempt to finish now!!

It dosent show in the pics but i managed to give it a little depth and highlights whit te spray can (Ill try to take some beter pics...) but Ill give it a ones over with a drybrush to make it stand out more.

Nice going! I particularly like your rendering of the landing gear which I have given much thought to as yet on my Thunderhawk project.

that looks almost exactly like the gw one
