Cpt Stahl Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Space Shark Whirlwind, nick-named "Angaur". The rocket launcher is scratch-built, and for those who remember it is similar to the Whirlwind of the early 90's (Epic version). It also features the alternate Space Shark chapter badge. Enjoy :D http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/10647YL11A/1105782.jpg http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/10647YL11A/1105783.jpg http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/10647YL11A/1105784.jpg http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/10647YL11A/1105785.jpg Rhino mode : http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/10647YL11A/1105786.jpg http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/10647YL11A/1105787.jpg Comments and critics are welcome :) Cpt Stahl.

Commissar Molotov Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I like it a great deal, Stahl! It's always good to see your army receiving reinforcements. The old-style Whirlwind turret is a nice touch.

Doghouse Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Wow that is old school! I remember making them back in first ed. Nice use of the landraider twin heavy bolter coupla as well to update the conversion. Looks great ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138340-space-shark-whirlwind-drop-pod-tact-squad/#findComment-1598663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMullet Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 nice... did you use a square base upside down for the missile pod? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138340-space-shark-whirlwind-drop-pod-tact-squad/#findComment-1598681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ziggy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Looks awesome, and I guess if your only buying a rhino chassis you'll save a bit of dough aswell!

Cpt Stahl Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 @ the Jinster & MarineWithAMullet: plasticard + bits (Example 1 & 2). I took 1mm plasticard. The sides are 2.5 cm high, and 4.5 cm length. The top is 3.7 cm wide and 4.5 cm length. For the square base I cut the borders, and only took 3/4 parts of it. I put it 0.5 cm back in the launcher. Fot he exaust, I was to lazy to build one out of plasticard, so I took an old bit fromm a WW2 tank kit. The other bits can be found on any Marine tank kit. @ Doghouse and Brother Ziggy : I took a Razorback kit, and this is the twin las-cannon turret. My first idea was to build only the launcher in order to put in on a twin bolter razorback turret (Example 3, Ex 4 ,Ex 5 and 6); For the final result, I choose to fully incorprate the laser turret to the launcher; for this I had to cut the guns, and the result looks like this : under 1 , 2 and 3. I hope that the pics explain well how I did the launcher :teehee: @ KYR GKIKAS and OwenCrute : thanks :teehee: (KYR GKIKAS : what about your BT ?) Cpt Stahl.

NemFX Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I totally want to do that for my Ultramarines. I have an alternative for my Lamenters though. Playing on the joke that they had most of their stuff taken after the Badab war, I was gonna make a very obviously fake Rhino (i.e. only the front, top and sides, letting the back be open and being pushed along by one marine) and then having a number of scouts on top with missile launchers :woot: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138340-space-shark-whirlwind-drop-pod-tact-squad/#findComment-1600361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz_navy Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 amazing work brother quite inspiring quick question though whats your painting technique that you used painting the holo display in the pod ?

Cpt Stahl Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 quick question though whats your painting technique that you used painting the holo display in the pod ? For the Holo display, first layer in white, then an "Ice blue" layer and finally I put some blue ink (which is no more sold by GW :) ). Maybe try with the new blue wash and a coat of gloss warnish.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hahahaha! I love it! Awesome work as always. I love the shark faces on the drop pod, very intimidating. :) I really dig how "worn-in" the greys on the drop pod look, makes it feel like something that has sen some action. Always a pleasure to see more Sharks from you. :tu: -T.

Cpt Stahl Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 A couple of month ago, a Terminator/ork sprue was offered with a WD issue. I liked the Termi a lot, so I decided to get a AoBR box (btw the other marines will be the core of a Salamander patrol). There are the Terminators : http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/10647YL11A/1124932.jpg The assault cannon is from the DA sprue. Enjoy :cry: Cpt Stahl.
