Storm Raven

Based on this link of the Space marine Storm Raven Gunship
storm raven page

I decided i wanted one to  complement my Grey knight Forces and although a new model would look and be amazing £50 is not something i have right now, so i decided to make my own out of leftover wood and oddments in the basement

these images show the wood was screwed in to the sawn base block and odd 


 i used a chopped up microwave meal box to make the wings and tail


on top of the model i placed some ariel connectors i had lying about. i decided not to use them in the end as they seemed to big and odd looking


i used filler and sandpaper to clean things up and to hide the imperfections

then used Dr Pepper lids for the engine bits and a wire connection hub on the side to mount the Hurricane Bolters (Guns). further the cockpit was made of more microwave meal plastic, (not a regular resource in our house) 
last touch to this is the wings received the side of a strawberry box to add nice shape



 hear is the more completed version with a nice lick of paint the job on the Dr pepper lids and the red stripe are nice additions. overall it has achieved the desired effect


im not convinced about the cockpit bit. i cant make it transparent. the guns need some nozzles to look more militaristic. i had the idea of using lolly sticks and the base needs some TLC

more updates to come.......
