The_Hugernaught Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi Guys I thought I'd share with you the results of one of my modelling projects, my kitbashed thunderhawk. This was made from 2 storm ravens, a rhino, and an assortment of other bits, plasticard and green stuff. It took about 6 months from start to finish, but I'm happy with the result! Thanks go to 2 guides I found online for making this kind of kitbash; http://warllama40k.blogspot.de/2012/05/how-to-build-kit-bashed-thunderhawk.html and https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.173530059361562.39164.161741390540429. I used a combination of these two methods, as well as some of my own modifications for this, so thanks to both of the authors!

Honda Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 That's actually pretty slick looking. I'm not sure I'm sold on the turbo-laser as is, but overall, that is a very credible T-Hawk. Do you know how it measures up to the resin version? Well done, brother!

Zeruvar Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thats a storm raven and what else kitbash? Nicely done! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281152-black-templars-thunderhawk/#findComment-3480327 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Hugernaught Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks! Honda - The turbo laser was tricky to get right, I tried a smooth piece of plastic prior to the storm raven engine, but it came out somewhat...phalic, so this was the better of the two! I think it measures up to 2/3 of a FW Thunderhawk, although to give you a better indication the body is 15" with a wingspan of 13". Zeruvar - It was made from 2 storm ravens, a rhino, parts of a Baneblades cannon, 2 Land raider Terminus Ultra conversion kits, 2 Black Templar rhino doors, and plasticard and green stuff to fill in the gaps and make the shields. I'm not going to lie, it took a long time to complete!

Brother Christopher Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Awesome conversio work. It does look amazing painted like this. My only remark would be that the turbo laser cannon erected like that seems a bit out of proportion. I guess that it would look better lowered and supported by something. But hey, it's just my 2 cents. Congratulations on your superb job!

So the other one was really an Emperor's Children craft?
