Prawa V 2nd Company vehicles

This is the first test of the LEDs. I've posted in WIP, but thought you might be interested.

 

The Night Rovfugl, lighting test.

 

Just to be clear, this model is about half way dry-assembled, so wing is a bit wonky, there's no cradle for the battery, hence why it's hanging out of the back door.

 

Anyhow, lights include:-

 

- Port wing red, similar to modern shipping.

- Starboard wing, green, for the same reason above.

- Crew/cargo compartment red, to aid troops with night vision adjustment.

- Cockpit green to simulate a radar/display screen of sorts.

- Front a spotlight to highlight its target when in close quarters.

 

As always, constructive criticism welcome. Please bear in mind, I've done no highlighting or finer details on this models as of yet. The wires require tidying up and other odds and sods when it comes to getting it looking smart.

Delighted it all worked first time!

"She's a warbird, and an old one at that, but don't let that fool you, min ven. She is a predator, a night eagle, the Night Rovfugl, and once she has you in her claws, you will never see the morning."

 

Stenrik looked over to me. I could see in his face that quiet strength I had come to admire in him. But there was something else. Fear, perhaps? I did not ask, I merely kept listening.

 

"She is like a wild bjergløve. By the time you see her, she has already been watching you for thirty minutes and now is her time. Yours is done."

 

I glanced over the horizon to the setting sun, anxiety racing to fill my thoughts before I put it down. "Then we'd better be ready for our guest."

Thank you. I hope, once lighting is optimised (still need to tinker with some angles) and that short text will help convey a real feeling of menace to her.

She is Barcza and his Kasrkin's personal transport. Optimised for stealth (when the lights are off) and I want, when I write her in, to convey a real sense of dread, hence the thirty minutes remark.

She is kinda like 329 in that respect. Sure, on the gaming table, she's an average Valkyrie, but when she flies out of the written word, she is sinister and ruthless, her name only spoken in whispers.
