Morticon Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Heres my take on the SR with what resources I had available to me. I traded something with a buddy for two Valk kits with various missing bits from each kit. The following is what I got for my troubles. Its essentially a "Koyote Pattern" Raven with some mods made by myself. So, thanks! And thanks to Jazzman who helped suggest the A-10 Tank killer style short engines up top, and to BobMakenzie for the suggestions on the underside engine placements! Its not 100% yet, still gotta do the weapon systems. Enjoy: http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9564/img1235g.jpg http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/7456/img1233k.jpg http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/3046/img1234gm.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Apock Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 One of the better looking SR's I've seen. Alot less boxy than some of the others. Nice work Mort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Eyeeeee Like it! :cuss Nice goin Mort, looks sleek, mean and above all like it might actually be capable of sustained flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decoy Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Damned fine model there, mate. Not fond of the curves in the wings (I've got odd aesthetic tastes), but a great model. Far better than the "Land Raider With Wings" standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aron Draith Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 wow nice model there, from the front I thought the underbelly was carbored thin but a side shot got rid of my worries. I actually like the bent wings, makes it feel like it would be more manuvarable then a big thunderhawk with striaght wings. Just my opinion.

Angelus Mortifer Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Looking good Mort. I've not really been a fan of the straight-up Valk versions as they don't differ enough from the original kit; but using two has worked very well. I particularly like the additional engines on the tail fin, nice touch. I probably still prefer some of the designs with some LR bits added but irrespective, quality work. Now paint that bad boy! :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Pickens Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Clever use of parts. I cant wait to see it finished with weapons systems - I think its really nice. Are you planning to paint it standard Red, or as a Death Company ride? Dont forget to add the scroll on the drop door with "Your army sucks!!" and leave room for your Dante Model to surf on top :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrofil Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Oh how I want one of those! A real thorough (sp?) walkthru would be wicked sweet. But if I can't get that, I must ask, how much more than the stuff from two valkyrie's is needed? Is there a lot of plasticard (if so, where have you put it?) or pieces from other places/sprues? Because THIS is how I want my Stormraven to look. Your model is so inspiring that I will try to change my list a bit to be able to include one myself. I just love this homemade SR, really really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-Death-Company+Astorath Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Nice conversion but i have to tell you lot about something..... A MULTI PART PLASTIC KIT OF THE STORMRAVEN IS COMING OUT IN SEPTEMBER!!!! Im so sorry to tell you so late that you have already made one but it kicks ass! You can just see Chuck norris driving one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so sorry to tell you so late that you have already made one but it kicks ass! Hahah- I dont mind- September is 3 and a half months away. Thats maaaany gaming days. I can game now. <_< Oh how I want one of those!A real thorough (sp?) walkthru would be wicked sweet. But if I can't get that, I must ask, how much more than the stuff from two valkyrie's is needed?

Your model is so inspiring that I will try to change my list a bit to be able to include one myself. I just love this homemade SR, really really well done. Its very very easy to do. And there is no plasticard needed, however, to make it look identical to this you will either need: A: some spare valk bits ><; (ie: another valk kit - ie: not worth it) or B: some plasticard work (but not a lot and nothing daunting at all!!!

SnorriSnorrison Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Nice conversion there, Morticon. Looks slim, fast and has the appropriate size and is not too bulky(kudos to Koyote here, nice concept as well). I would really like to see some red on this one. :) Snorri PS: How reliable is the source regarding the Stormraven in September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
