Heldrake Conversion

[MarshGlyph]

Hi there guys! I'm planning a Heldrake conversion as I absolutely loathe the model GW makes. But to be able to plan accurately (the whole "measure twice, cut once" idea), I need some help. Can someone who already has the model provide the following measurements:

A - Tip of the tail to tip of the snout

B - Tip of the tail to tip of the wing

C - Tip to tip of the wings (wingspan)

D - Tip of the wing to the shoulder

 

If possible, can I also get two more measurements:

1 - Tip of the nose to the tip of the tail of a Space Marine Stormtalon

2 - Base to the tip of the "vertical arms" of a Space Marine Drop Pod

 

Thanks!

I'd help if I could but I don't have one. However, you might have more luck in the general p&m forum than in a legion-specific subsection?

A - 180 to 185 mm, depends on neck angle.

B - 230 to 240 mm, hard to measure properly.

C - 265 mm.

D - 160 mm.

 

I do not have SM models though.

Any progress on this?

 

Please make a Slaaneshi Hell-Wang.

I'll post the height of the drop pod a little later, & should be able to give a fair indication of the storm talon (only have the parts i needed...)

 

I too am looking at doing a heldrake conversion, if AekoldHelbrass or someone would be able to post the distance between the two semi-circle "shoulder" bits (both height & width) and the lowest ring of the "neck", that would be amazing!

 

Basically I'd like to stick the stormtalon cockpit at the front... it measures 37mm accross & 35mm high.

 

Edit (as promised!):

The vertical arms of the drop pod are 143mm

The total length of the stormtalon (minus guns) is approx 125-130mm

 

Hope this helps, I'd like to see what you come up with as I too am doing a heldrake conversion.
