I've ordered one myself, and would love to do the tail boom like you did. But what kit is it from?<br />Cheers in advance!Revan88https://www.blogger.com/profile/05383694024988219669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-22969262533800222922012-05-28T21:46:29.927-06:002012-05-28T21:46:29.927-06:00I'm with the Col, that tail conversion does wo...I'm with the Col, that tail conversion does wonders. I thought the Storm Eagle was kinda funny looking, but a small change and it's back to looking like a proper SM flyer!Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00905398790792580725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-58562219114212032482012-05-27T17:47:18.773-06:002012-05-27T17:47:18.773-06:00I appreciate the kind words, everyone!
@Colonel W...I appreciate the kind words, everyone!<br /><br />@Colonel Winterborne - Thanks! It was fairly simple, I just cut a notch in the Storm Raven tail fin that matched the profile of the Storm Eagle tail boom. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.<br /><br />@#2501 - Don't get me wrong, I'm really pleased with the final result, but it definitely took a higher-than-average amount of elbow grease. Its a great model, just a challenging kit.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing how the Berzerkers work on the tabletop. Knowing my luck the Storm Eagle will be Destroyed/Explodes on turn 1.

The bare arms really make them stand out, and the thought of them streaming out of a Storm Eagle is frightening, esp to anything like a Guard gun line. I couldn't fend off Kharn and his minions last time, and they only came in Rhinos...Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264386981291406144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-16598129487697175652012-05-25T15:05:28.287-06:002012-05-25T15:05:28.287-06:00Looking great and that change on the tail fin is g...Looking great and that change on the tail fin is genius.Colonel Winterbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335124398357546922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-87106117421406271582012-05-25T14:06:09.292-06:002012-05-25T14:06:09.292-06:00Digging those Berkerkers!

Blood for the Blood... Er... The Emperor!<br /><br />@Redscorps - It was hands down the most frustrating FW kit I've ever assembled. It literally took me three evenings worth of work to build it. While there was no shrinking, many of the parts were seriously bent (the two main side panels has nearly 45 degree bends in them). Great looking model when it's all done, but I definitely cursed long and loud while building it.<br /><br />@Tim Toolen - With the price rise on the horizon, the Storm Eagle is actually almost a bargain now! Lots of work still to go, but the army is coming into focus - With the three-day weekend coming up I'm hoping to get the 'Zerks finished off and get started on the Storm Eagle...Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721613951987981892.post-42156969231950011232012-05-25T08:57:35.203-06:002012-05-25T08:57:35.203-06:00Solid work, Mordian :) I'm loving the Bezerke...Solid work, Mordian :) I'm loving the Bezerkers, and completely jealous of the Storm Eagle.
