Gideus Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have wanted a thunderhawk since Forgeworld first came out with them years back, but cannot really justify the expense. So I decided to scratch build my own. Its got the correct dimensions and size, and most of the proper detailing. Its not meant to be a phenomenally detailed super exact duplicate like some others I have seen, but a unit I can use for my groups apocalypse games. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn147/Gideus/094.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221503-scratch-built-thunderhawk/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangamarine Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Nice Nice Nice Nice Nice, :tu: I'm about to start on my own since I recently aquired some good plans. Would you say i's better to build in card or other materials Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221503-scratch-built-thunderhawk/#findComment-2646325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideus Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I used different thicknesses of plasticard (styrene sheeting) and it worked wonderfully. I use it for all my scratch builds Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221503-scratch-built-thunderhawk/#findComment-2646326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Nice build. Â I am taking a guess it is for Iron Warriors? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221503-scratch-built-thunderhawk/#findComment-2646330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideus Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yes, I have a rather large Iron Warrior army. I will post a pic of the front iconography when I get one.

Shortsonfire79 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Awesome build man. Thats one hell of a project, and you're not one of those people who 'start' a project, and let the thread die. You've already finished!! And thanks for the templates Damion :huh: Should be useful ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221503-scratch-built-thunderhawk/#findComment-2646467 Share on other sites More sharing options...

calgar101 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I really really like that! I'd try and build one but it would end up looking worse than a Stormraven. Kudos to you.
