ale0x Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey dudes, just finished up my first vehicle in about 3 years and my first-ever flyer, Stormtalon Gunship "Ayit" (Hebrew for Eagle, goes along with my old testament/semitic naming scheme)! Some minor but (IMO) effective conversions going on here...and for the record, yes I'm aware that reversing the wings and tailpiece puts the flaps and beveled edge on the wrong side, and also that this AssCannon configuration is less than efficient, when one puts too much thought into how it would fire during hover mode. :) If you dig this, check out my WIP stuff HERE and other finished models HERE. Also if anybody is interested in an (oldish) IA writeup about my DIY chapter, it can be found HERE Okay, picture time! This was my first attempt at OSL ever...pretty happy with it though it ended up being a teeny bit sloppy in places. Nevertheless my canopy is battledamaged and slightly fogged from overspray (i tried to mask the panes when clearcoating the struts, but oh well) so it ends up looking pretty good in person with the canopy on. Obviously the base isn't done, but beyond that I'm finished and pretty happy with it! My canopy is a teeny bit warped which made it kind of annoying, I feel like it doesn't fit in place snugly. Ah well. Any feedback is appreciated! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258893-finished-diy-chapter-retributors-stormtalon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chaplain Ryld Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The battle damage and weathering looks really good, and I can't fault the OSL. You've made an average kit (imo) look ace. Good work mate. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258893-finished-diy-chapter-retributors-stormtalon/#findComment-3148096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ale0x Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 :P! Thanks! Yeah, I don't hate the model as much as alot of people, but I definitely had to do something about that goddamn ridiculous turret. Also I wasn't crazy about those sensor vanes being ontop so I figured I'd just stick 'em in front as a sort of analog to the sensor suites you see on some modern choppers. I think it worked out okay.

Kierdale Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Great work! Nice OSL, weathering and damage. I also love the addition of dangling thuribles!

jeremy1391 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 only complaint is how is it supposed to fire the assault cannons in hover mode :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258893-finished-diy-chapter-retributors-stormtalon/#findComment-3148820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
