FW Thunderhawk. Extremly unfinished.

[math]

Ok, as requested by some heres my Thunderhawk, as per the thread title its no where near finished and probably wont be for some time. I might pick it up after I complete my current project.

I have added some extra interior detail, most obvious at the back compartment. Yes I know it may not be used for what I have used it for but it seemed like a waste of space if I didnt fill it with somthing. So I made it Helbrechts Transport and fitted a Throne seat made from all sorts. Also in there is 2 prayer ulaters, one displaying vows and the other his Bolter_melta combi. Control pannels through out, candels and seals. Got 2 servo skulls there(not technically part of model) and a golden Tea urn...its thirsty work slaughtering heritics.

Amyways enjoy.

Throne room






I'm a little anoyed really at myself as spent £375 on it and I've had it almost 3 years and this is all I've done. So will probably make a start on it after my Tyrant and guard. So watch this space.

Front veiw from ramp

Everything painted here was done free hand.

Awesome as always, only complaint is the huuuuge black vortex at the bottom of your post Resize those pics for us What did you use to make the throne? you say you made it from all sorts but it looks like a one piece to me, bloody good work there.

Love the throne room!

[math]

Is the gap about 15cm,

The throne was made from, parts below
plastic sheet for the base.

the 2 sides parts and the arch with the Egale on, was made from spare parts from I think a Russ tank side sponsons. The Egale, I think came with the TH.

The 4 marble towers are plastic pipes. With green stuff candle bases, all candels are made from the spikey bits from a chaos sprue, with greenstuff flames.

The chains are chaos accesiories fro mthe same sprue.

Egale heads are from the commander backpack.

The gold bar at the front of the throne floor is the spike ram from the Chaos Defiler.

The seat is made from top support lasscannon sponson support platform, the arm rests are the LR heavy bolter top armour plate. The stand for the chair is half a Rhino exhaust and a missile launcher target array/scope thing. Also 2 backpack exhausts for I suppose air condition reasons as are the 2 vents above the seat, taken from the front of the SM jump packs. I used a I think its a Thunderhammer grip section or past of the Defiler mace arms as a power cable up the back of the chair and the red parts are made from green stuff.

ooh, and decorated with seals and tiny sheild and Templar cross.

Ok, I've tried resizing it and it doesn't appear to have made any difference, sorry anyone if you can see it

[Overread]

You certainly believe in interior design!
that is some brilliant work - especially the small details

[Haraio [MALAL]]

Wow! Suge! Amazing! O.O
Your painting is just downright amazing (especially the banner carrier), and your sense for details is something I really envy. I wish I had ideas and skills like that^^
*bows* You are the master^^

Offtopic: how do you get titles? Like golden gaunt second place?

[math]

J.Dogg, I took part in the forums painting competition 2-3 months ago, and came in 2nd after Krakenfeind.Grrrr

[J.Dogg]

2 things:
1:when is the next one?
2:where is the golden tea urn?

[math]

The competition was I think to celebrate the forum b-day or the opening of the website, I cant remember. So dont know if there would be another?

And yes good point, you can see it in the pics in some but hang on a minute or two.

That tea urn is amazing

I'm a little concerned about having candles (open flames) on a flying vehicle, bit reckless I would think. Your freehand painting skills shown on the various banners and bits of writing is very good.

[mandark]

the tea urn is the best mission objective ive ever used. mission was sm templars guarding the tea urn in fortress. Constant wave of nids assaulting (think star ship troopers) i almost won with the nids but the (half complete) TH came in and saved the day by flying off with the urn 1 turn away from me swarming where it was .

oh and matt give the TH a dust, was nice and shiny last time i saw it lol.

[J.Dogg]

yeah! but i never seen it before.
ty for showing the urn
