This is my first post and I want to show you the Imperial Guard Valkyrie which I have lit in April 2014. I painted it Olive Green as a tribute to the Aliens's Dropship and also weathered it as such to show that this Valkyrie was so busy in the war, they hardly have time to maintain it well.
The Valkyrie features:
- Front spots
- Lighted Cockpit console
- Flickering Engines
- Single-Double Wingtip Strobes
- Lighted Cargo Bay
This is the lit cockpit. If you look closely, you can see that it runs on Windows XP.
I chose this screen because April 2014 was the official month Windows XP dies
Here is the lit cargo bay. Its not very bright because I messed up the floor which absorbed a lot of the LEDs's lights.
On top, the two orange lights are the flickering engines, which shows it is battle-weary and hardly maintained due to war.
I am not too good at painting so, this was the best that I could come up with
Here is the video of the Model. I titled it 90% completed because I left the weapons, sensors and other stuff out. I brought it to a Shop to be displayed and absent-mindedly left the extra parts in there, Once I came back to get it, they were cannibalised by other customers.
It was a bit of a last minute decision because I am not sure if the printer could even print something that small. But finally, it did.
I could have done it on tracing paper to give a brighter picture but the quality would bad since everything would be translucent.
