A snotling drone?
A small grot bomb?

looking really cool. cant wait to see how it turns out

The wings are together, with turrets. The last major feature to add is the vent/engine things on the bottom, then it's all details and worky-bitz left to add.

Some low-down dirty grot done gone stole your pic an' everything man.

It is getting there!

That'll teach me to not use dakka's gallery!

I could see it before you edited it...

Ahh, much better now

Nice progress, it's looking pretty cool so far

...I can't see any pics...stupid CHina...

Looking good!

Making good progress TGG! Never been brave enough to try plasticard work myself, but you do JUST fine!

Wow man, this is a great blog. Your conversions and modeling are just great, stuffed with crazy amounts of character. I also really dig your night gobbos' basing trick; I am going to try something like that one my next WHFB army.

Seriously man, I feel guilty now, not only for not looking at this sooner and saying how cool it is, but for failing to do so and lowering my long term modeling capacity. I could have integrated some of those basing ideas in my WoC, and now the chance has passed :(

I know it's not great, Git, but did you have to capitalize "just"?

Sorry Runna. I'll probably load a few of the key pics onto Dakka's gallery, because I think it's better than photobucket. The bucket is just easier for me right now, cause of the phone pics.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Also, here is a bit of work on the left wing turret:

LOL GG, you know how good you are... just keep building man... that's all.

YES I CAN SEE IT YOU ROCK!!!

And well worth the wait, that is gonna be awesome!

Thanks Runna. Glad it's working.

And I'm still going strong. I've started work on some of the detail/worky bits now, having finished the main structure of the bottom hoover jets.

pics:

First, the bottom

The wires will be bent to my will. They will fit into those plasticard tubes.

Second, more work on the interior


Third is the back

(and in the fuzzy background, the big shoota on the turret. The shoota is still removable at this point)

very very cool detaily bits. loving the fish so far

This is starting to get interesting (the details on the fish, not the blog/fish in general!)

OUCH!

While cutting the slats for the air-intake on the roof I sliced my finger open.

So I'll be taking it easy with the plasticard for a little bit. I'll spend some time with the hobby drill instead.

next well see him with a hole in his head......

It happens to everyone.
The only thing worse is having a power fist/sword superglued there...

hmmm
would make a bad joke here but for once none come to mind

phew ;P

Bad joke... The Good Red?

(chuckle's)

Here's a pic of the vent I was working on when my knife turned on my. Also featured in this post is the hand-bar for the passangers to hang on to.

Here's most of the co-pilot, who will be holding onto the bar in a day or so.

The bit of bar that crosses the ship sits right on top of the pilots chair, so they will get GSed into the same thing. The corners of the hand-bar are also getting cut down to a more rounded finish, then GSed.

Looking great as usual GG

Ok, it only took the evening:

It must be some kind of genius to scratch build a vehicle to loot! Very impressed.

"Don't Push Dat!"


On a side note, I'm still working out the fluff for the rest of my Tyrant Star saga. SO I just wanted to record this before I forgot it. It's an excuse to include a unit of Space Marine Scouts. Drawing on the idea of the scouts becoming more elite, specialize marines and being put on that path early on.

So my idea for including them is as a kill team style squad of scouts that all specialize in different skill sets. SO, a tech-scout, an apothecary scout, a librarium scout and so on with all the other special character/weapons in their force. They have been put together in a special task force to recover a lost brother from the tumultuous goings on of 88 Tanstar.

The reason the scouts are sent, instead of some full fledged battle brothers: The troubles on the planet do not yet deem their presence. That's kind of it. Also it is a good display and test of the scouts ability. The space marines have a better grasp on the story of the planet than the orks or the imperial navy. The eldar have a better understanding and it is with this understanding that they have enjoyed the presence of ...

ok, break through? So this marine, this lost brother... could be he was a member of one of the chapters that have been forsaken to chaos, but he has, through his trails (Greek pantheon style trails) has proven himself worthy of redemption. So some members of the =][= and a group of elite scouts are sent to determine if he has truly been reborn loyal.

The =][= uses the opportunity to send many operatives to the planet, mainly coming form the Tyrant Star Kabal, though few would know it.

Anyone have any fluffy business to back up a SM coming back from damnation? Have any been redeemed without being killed?
