Yet another Stormraven... (wip)

[darkrob]

Hi.

Here's my Stormraven conversion. It's made of a Valkyrie and plasticard. I hope you like it.

YES!! Finally a Stormraven that looks like what I envisioned it to!! :D

[BlackKnight15624]

Digging it! It actually looks like a mini-thunderhawk... Which actually makes sense.

[wittdooley]

By far best one I've seen, plus you didn't spend insane amounts of money cutting up expensive kits. Well done.

It actually looks like it belongs in a space marine army. Looks great.

Good job.

[Ironfaith]

that looks


NOICE... ^_^

I like it. (Not related to you specifically) I do wish people making these would paint them though.

i love it. i really like how most of the weapons are placed on the wings like modern planes, then a turret gun like the razorback and an underslung one like a landspeeder, it gives it a really good shape and adds to the space marine-ness of it. one question though, wheres the landing gear? :D

[phoenix01]

This has to be the best Stormraven I have seen. Bar none. Any chance you might give a "how to" on making this?

[miteyheroes]

Wow, that's beautiful. Perfect!

Any chance of the view of the underneath? I like what I see of your dread-clamp...

[david5th]

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner. Thats an incredible model. That is waht i imagine it looks like.

[Irongut]

Perfect!!!

[gorepants]

Wow, this guy hangs together really well, really fits in with the spacemarine vibe. Tops effort. Only thought is that the canopy windows look too small (have too much trim) when compared to the proportions of the FW thunderhawk.

[darkrob]

Thanks for the compliments. :D

Here are more photos (http://s802.photobucket.com/albums/yy306/D4rkRob/Stormraven/).
There's also a short video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFVCpy526lM&feature=channel) on Youtube.

Sure. It might take a few days though. Haven't got much free time atm.

Yep, that's right. Compared to the Thunderhawk, they're proportionally smaller. But I like them. They kinda look like eyes. ^^

I wanted to include more photos in my first post, but the forum didn't let me.
The "dread-clamp" also functions as landing gear.
