Stormraven update

I have been building the Stormraven this weekend, and have made quite a bit of progress. I have painted the interior and finished putting together the main body. I have also had a go at making an underslung heavy bolter as I mentioned before. It worked okay and I am fairly happy with it although I may make a new one at some point as it isn't quite even. This is it from the front.

 And the side

 The bottom is perfect for adding a magnet, because of the ridges you don't need to drill a hole and can just file down the middle ridge and glue the magnet in place. I will be making a few more turrets for it so can swap.

 and this is the turret, I used the bolters from the razorback sprue with some plasticard. I cut off the bolt feeds from both guns and added a single central one instead. I also added the box (or whatever it is called) from the sprue and glued it behind the feed to represent the bolt storage. Some green stuff was added to fill a few gaps and to make the feed attachment to the box look a bit more realistic. Finally I added a few symbols and the sensor from a hunter killer missile. As I said it isn't perfect at all, and it is a bit wonky and lopsided as the most difficult part was finding the right piece so the bolters can move up and down. I achieved this using a cut down piece of sprue with a nubbin but it wasn't quite wide enough, so I added some plasticard which messed up the angles a bit. It looks okay though, I will be using the bolters from predator sponsons for the next set of underslung weapons which should be much easier.
