Sorry Guys and Dolls

Not sure if I ever posted the pic's of the finished Thunder Hawk

This to was constructed out of the same materials that I am building the WarLord Titan from.

Hope you Like her.

That's a scratchbuilt Thunderhwak? :o

Impressive, very impressive.

The only difference I spot is in the cockpit area. IIRC, then there should be a vertical frame in the middle of the front window.

Other than that, it looks like the original.
Taking a very long break.

Thanks for the comments,

She took me 6 to 8 weeks to build.

I was looking on the internet and stumbled across some templates for the Thunder Hawk, I used these as a rough guide.

She is built from: Main body is foam board, Wings are from a old star wars toy, (these detach) legs, under body are also old toys, main gun is the inside of the toilet inlet valve, same as the gun housing, legs are toy legs and detachable, Missiles are builders Rawl plugs (adapted) Twin bolter turrets are from Toilet in let valves, top wings are 95mm x 5mm window board.
Tail is from foam board, the layered with pegs, plastic stirrers.
Body armour plate, 1mm thick plastic sheets cut to size

The only reason she to 6-8week was getting the parts.

Total cost of project was: £25.00 thats including paint & glue

If you go to my Warlord Titan Project you will see the foam board that I used.


Best Regards

Dark
