Whitefireinferno Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 It is great to see lots of small mods done to the standard model Mine will follow in the Next couple of Days I just Plan on finishing my Dread *70ish% done* and the Raven before I move onto 2 5 man Ras squads for my Assbacks.

Grizzly Adams Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks for your kind comments!Didnt do anything to the tail length wise, it sits on the rear plate just as it would in the original model. So only the hull is longer. :rolleyes: EDIT: in case you mean the raised area from the tail to the main hull then yes, I used the raised middle thing from the Valkyrie set, the part that goes between the engines and broke it in a couple of pieces. The Red X was very easy to do, simply sprayed it black, used two rows of masking tape once it was dry and painted the red GW foundation between the two tape lines. :D Think the other Ravens look great!!! only think I dont like is when the turret weapons lie on their side... Is it to make the lower or is it hard to mount the upright? Seen it on a lot of conversions in her. :) Awesome, i was wantin to put some big red X's on mine as well, and was tryin to figure out how to go about it. Thanks for the info!

Deschenus Maximus Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 @Red Fury: I really like the mods you did to your Raven. Do you have a guide on how you did them? I'd like to do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Xeones Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Red Fury: I really like what you've done with the tail fin in the back. It's so simple but it really works pretty well. Bravo. You've also managed to do the most accurate job I've seen yet in re-creating my photoshopped chop job of the nose. I'm glad to see it looks good in real life!! I'm really getting jealous of all of you who already have yours assembled and painted. I had some unexpected expenses come up so I had to put my own purchase on hold until just recently. But my order is in the mail now so I look forward to joining your ranks soon! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I like that three of these have identical modifications!!! Thats very cool. Also speaks volumes about the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks for the kind remarks guys. I haven't made a tutorial exactly, but I did take quite a few WIP pictures. I haven't loaded them up here yet except for a couple from just before painting the base coat. They show a couple of different views and options like the Hbolters and Typhoon Launchers: (Hmm, I was going to post a couple of pics but they are so large that I'll just give you a link to my gallery instead. I'll try to put up some more pictures in there tonight and also when I get more done) http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=63737 @Brother Xeones, thanks for making that photoshop picture of the raven! It looked so much better than the original that I tried to copy it as close as possible and I'm very happy with the way it looks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 @ Mort: Get a better picture up. <_< Done. Custom job and WIP real-deal side by side: double trouble. and one more of just the real-deal: Close up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Instrument Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The one thing that really baffles me with this kit is the air intake that goes on the top of the fuselage. I'm still going to use the full turret as it reminds me of turret gunners on B-17's and B-25's but the to me the only purpose of the intake is to hide the joint of the tail cone to the fuselage and prevent the upper turret having a full 360' fire arc.

Sanguinarian Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 @ Morticon: THOSE truly are "DOUBLE TROUBLE"!!! WOW!!! @ Saphos: Looks good except for our Ancient One dangling by his feet like a trapeze artist. :( Stay tuned for an update on my WIP DCSR and DCDread.

Saphos Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Show me a better way to attach the Dread that doesn´t involve major conversion work. ^^ And its not dangling by its feet. ;) It is properly stowed away. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an area where he stands modelled inside and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
