madscuzzy Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I started this project a long time ago, inspired by the Colonial Viper from BSG. It was on hiatus until last week when I realised I could use the chassis as a talon, and it kinda worked with the talon parts on. Somewhere along the way, I had to find a way to fit the guns in, and remembered the TF Brainstorm, and thus went with the hammerhead design... And no I haven't riveted it yet... and the control panel either... So without further ado... http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/1.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/2.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/3.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/4.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/5.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/6.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/7.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/8.jpg Lascannon http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/9.jpg And for fun I made the wingtips magnetisable too... Kinda looks nice. Need to do a blank dummy sensor variant... http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/10.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/11.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/12.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/13.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yodhrin Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I don't like that GW have given the SM an air-superiority craft, but since they have, I'd buy your model over the Flying Lunchbox any day of the week. Amazing work, the unacknowledged love-child of a Viper and a Caestus Assault Ram :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 That is quite simply, epic. Don't like the lascannons on the wingtips, but other than that, it's bloody amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peredyne Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Love it! This could be the basis for a company. Build a complete kit and sell it as the Tornado ASP (Air Superiority Platform)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscuzzy Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks! I do like the stuff to be unique, one-of-a-kind models... In fact, my lists don't usually have duplicate items. I shudder at making more of this (nearly killed myself with the speeders)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Amazing work, have you decided what call sign you're going to name it after? Surely Starbuck right? To think it's not even finished or painted yet and it looks so good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madscuzzy Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hmmm... no... I don't use templates to craft my stuff... I just build it as I go along. Is there anything specific you wish me to explain? Will try to help...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madscuzzy Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Huh? I don't win the internet... but thanks. While I appreciate the applaud, there are a lot of models superior to this... and a lot of modelers better than me.

lhg033 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 always a pleasure to see your stuff madscuzzy though my favorite is still Orktimus Prime! on this one gun placement is good - it was always going to be difficult to fit the bulk of 40k weapons with the sleek design of the bsg craft, think the lascannons suit the model/theme better than the bolters but having the different options is nice. are you planning to do a necron/cylon raider to match this :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Cracking stuff, but bonus points for getting B&C in to the shots :lol: That and its grants us plebians the slightest glimpse into the world of the Moderati/Administratum group with the hidden forums at the top.... Fantastic creation there tooScuzzy, I always love to check out your work, both artwork and model wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscuzzy Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hmmm... someone has sharp eyes. Time for some cleansing... @lhg033 Thanks... Prime is in a league of his own... whahaha. Anyways, the placement of the weapons were a conundrum... It does break the look of the viper, and leans it more towards Brainstorm... *shrugs* Still... it came out pretty alright. Well Cylon Raiders are essentially Necron Flyers, so kinda solved IMHO... Anyways, here are the riveted pictures, with some additional weapon mounts. http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R1.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R2.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R3.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R4.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R5.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R6.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R7.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R8.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R9.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R10.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R11.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormviper/R12.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
