That is also a plan I neglected to thank Cam for kind words on painting. I quite like the riveted styrene, it's working well for me. I'm not thinking about most of da orks until I get the animosity set (Friday, hopefully).

Very true Vik, very true and thanks for kind words. I think it needs a cab though.
The panels are great, I like that there's some hinges on them too.

So the question is are you going to have an option to leave the flyers off and have an Ork Army?

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

@llama: well actually I think I will aim for this to be a playable battlewagon; good if either kid decides to go orky.

@ruglud. Cheers matey! Yeah, the star wars themed stuff will happen eventually, maybe with a Knight or a contemptor.

Anyway: as for the top, a few thoughts. I'm considering drilling through the top cm or so to make a feature of it when it's not a Valkyrie base. I think then adding a satellite dish or two?

Like that idea...possibly drill through and stick some magnets in there? Satellite dishes would look great, and fit in nicely with the whole tor bus vibe.....

Take an apporpriately sized piece of plastic pipe and make a big exhaust pipe. You can cover the rest of the pylon with cotton/fiber smoke when the plane is not in use.

Good progress on the base.

Are you going to trim the stand to get those to fit or are you going to fill the gaps?

Looking brilliant, A question though. Are you extending the rod for the valkyrie so it doesnt scrape its belly on the trukks stack or is the stakk removable when the valyrie is in play, and re-fiteed when the trukk is not a display piece?

Also you need some of these for Da Toor Bus!! Orky cheerleedah groopies!!

Although the elven one is nicer, I don't think it would fit as well, being not orky and all!!
