Hey all...

Me and my brother have kitbashed a Baron model out of spare DE parts...

What do you think?

Fixed attached images...

the sideways images are a bit of a pain, but from what i can see, it's a very good start. but you have a little way to go to make it look clean. i would start by getting some fine grit sandpaper and smoothing down the green stuff on the skyboard, at the moment it looks a little lumpy. then clean off the sprue scars with a hobby knife or files, they have a knack of ruining the look of skin-tight fabric. after those two steps, the model should look great.

oh and maybe add a few more blades, spikes and chains on the bottom of the board, it is a weapon in itself, remember

Thanks for your imput... I'll definately clean it up a bit...

I'm at the moment trying to determine how to "accessorize it".

in that case, more spikes, blades, and hooky chains. i would also give him an unhelmeted head, as the artwork shows him as not wearing one, but that's just me

Good start mate, personally I'd be tempted to have the wings pointing out to the side (like right out to the side, just to accentuate that this is custom skyboard.... looking at the back end though maybe a 45 degree angle would be better...

Accessories; skulls, chain, blades, more chains, maybe the mini jets off the raider kit?

Great start, maybe just smooth it out a bit more, and givie it more spikes. The glider looks a bit too 'eldar' at this point, needs more blades, chains, skulls, etc.
