nurglespuss Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi all, I picked up this beat up old whirlwind from ebay for a song, and decided to try and save it . So, a few small additions, a paint strip, some green stuff to add depth to the lighter-made-battle-damage and bobs your uncle. Fairly simple, but I'm pretty pleased with it, what do you think? I must admit, I'd forgotten just how heavy it is! I'll be putting some Steel Putty inside to balance it The original ebay pic: http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/T2eC16hHJGwE9nyVUTiBRE_JJkeg60_1_zpsd7d909cd.jpg After a strip, and a bit of a change: http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG2063-1-1_zpsf1e5fe4f.jpg Red! http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG2073-1-1_zps7c90f5ba.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG2114-1-1_zpsc5b97feb.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG2117-1-1_zps8d566442.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG2120-1-1_zps8200c8de.jpg What do you think?

Firepower Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ick, those old metal missle racks. I spent many many hours battling the one I had. Anywho, neat! Some quirky little modifications you've done there. And the painting ain't half bad.

Jolemai Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Or perhaps the graffiti was painted by Imperial Guard with Tanith dialect? Also, would the winged skull fit better with your force if it was bright yellow?

Venerable Jazzman Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Nicely rescued. What colour did you use for the red highlight, it's nice and subtle?
