my first major conversion project, as well as my first time ever working with plasticard. so far i really like the way it's turned out. here's some of my building progress

Front end made with plasticard (my first time using it, I'm VERY pleased with the results)



Big engine i made using parts from a trukk kit and battlewagon kit,


front

After i boxed it in with plasticard (sorry for the blur)


a crazy gunner upside down in the front nose section xD



The pilot (notice he's holding the flight control yolk in his hand)
i also used the head from a deffkopta kit from AoBR



Back gunner (the chain showed in this picture broke off during transport so i had to replace it


(replaced chain)


top



unfortunately i forgot to take pics of the wings while i was building. they really arent that special, a lot of panneling added to it with rivets, and 2 exhausts on each side

Inside
my idea for this is actually the grot with a grapple claw pushes the barrels (bombs) out the side hatch, some fall regularly, but the "smart bombs" have grots riding them to the earth



and lastly, the crazy ejection seat




i did a little bit more sculpting to the milliput after these pictures were taken, to give it more of a cloudy smokey effect.

Here's a shot after i've added a base coat to the body and engines, as well as one layer of wash. still TONS of painting to be done

Looking good! I really like the upside-down gunner.

Are these pictures taken in the GW @ Lawrence and Yonge?

Yes they are. Good call

Pilot with broken stick, ejector seat and upside-down gunner?
What's not to love?
