Magnetizing weapons time!

No way, are we starting to prime things?

awesome! Can't wait to see it with paint on

Started getting work in on the bow assault ramp.

Still that's a lot of green stuff for such an expensive model.

Bow hatch and Side hatches taking shape slowly.

Magnets and hatch working update.

Lots of work done on the crew compartment and on the magnetized side doors. I realized that I had not posted anything in awhile. Partially due to being busy. The raptor is nearly done though.

I'll be honest. I've been lurking on this thread a while without commenting because I didn't appreciate the patience and skill required for this project. Now that I am assembling my Storm Eagle, I feel your pain and admire your modeling skills. Well done sir.

Thank you very much for the compliment. I really appreciate it. If there is any way I can be of assistance from afar in your assembly, let me know.

All the way to priming town!

Are these the original hatches?

Nope, those are rhinos actually, the outer plate of a rhino when I cut away front and back angle along the smoke stalks. Flip it upside down and voila. The hatch from the storm raven however fits directly into that.

This was part of the project to make it a single chassis that swapped between storm eagle and fire raptor.

I then used the front and back angle that had been cut off for the work on the crew compartment that magnetizes on to the front/bottom of the flyer.

OMG. Buy the premium stuff, not cheap chinese copy they say.
They should hire Anvil Industry for casting.
