Hey guys

Im expanding my dwarf army, Already have 1 gyrocopter (orignial GW) and would like more. Im not a fan of the particular model falls apart to
easily and dont want to buy the finecast version. Does any of yous know a good alternative model for the Gyrocopter?

Are you looking to avoid conversion work, or are you comfortable with that?

Wont fall apart, light weight, looks amazing




Ral Partha Ornithopter:



The best bit? you can order them easily, look slightly different and they are cheap at only £4.50 each.

Im up for converting to a certain extent, just not good with green stuff but happy to kitbash or what not

That ornithopter's pretty groovy. I kitbashed the back section of a gyro to a sentinel cockpit. It'll be much easier in finecast, 'cause it won't be so top heavy.

that sentinel kitbash model does look very nice.

I was thinking of using the model below, and some how turning it into a hot air balloon, just not sure how to make the balloon part.
use the part below as the wicker basket and attaching to it a gun (flamer) for the gyrocopter.
