greatcrusade08 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 hi guys im looking for some advice with my new project, im doing a new conversion. AFAIK its not been done before, the closest i can find is the stormtalon helo conversion. heres what i have so far http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140404_080524_zps40f233ad.jpg ive hollowed out the engine pod attachments, which leaves a nice little hobbit hole http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140404_080555_zps33c0e478.jpg my question i do i go with the round door, or try to square it off, it should be easy to put some plasticard flooring in? going forward im going to put a little stool on one side at the back and have a scout sitting inside. for close up inspections im also going to add some rotary blades (of course) and a tail blade, i may need to increase to height of the tail first. the front mounted gun will be replaced with a two pronged landing gear (and one on the underside of the tail) and the guns will be mounted in what is currently the front air intakes sorryfor the pics, took them on tablet, which rotated them, i turned them on photobucket, but it didnt show when i posted them.. i hate technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 A good start Can not give any advice but I can cheer you on. Doing anymore Scouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but as to whether or not im contuining with the MK2/3 kind or starting a newer slimline blackops version i cannot say.. it depends on my next purchase and conversions, which hopefully will run alongside this one.. as i need to put scouts in this bad boy. i do appreciate the cheers from the sidelines though mate, much obliged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think I'd go with round doors, perhaps using the ones similar to older Rhino kits (if they fit) The hole made in the ST looks very smooth. Must have been a bit...tricky getting it done without fething the model up! It'll be cool to see it in the plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naminé Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think the round doors would be cool too. Most Space Marine portals tend to be round after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took about an hour for each side Theres still alot that needs doing though, got to buy some lss scouts, a nice scenic base and some bits for the conversions, fingers crossed ill have it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 ive made some small progress today. i cant find any multi-meltas yet, but heavy flamers will do for my test model. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/012_zpsca9490b1.jpg to keep the slimline effect ive replaced the air intakes with weapon systems, one each side.. its wonky here, as you can see by the elastic band im not gluing anything until im sure about it all. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/010_zpsfa67d589.jpg i was considering replacing the underslung weapon system (bulky much), with a landing gear of some sort, but i fear its too visible and high up, so im probably going to set the skates further down on the main body and put the cerberus launchers under the front http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/013_zpsc6861522.jpg C+C welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I love that pic every time I see it. I'm going to do a "little bird" with an Arvus for my Elysians. Seems like a natural to me. Sorry for the sidetrack. This is tough for me because I really don't like the looks of the original model. However, that being said, I think you could make this into an interesting helicopter. Those big holes in the back would suffice for a crew exit point, but I think you want to square them up a bit from an aesthetics perspective.
