Finished DIY chapter "Retributors" Stormtalon!

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!

: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.
