Thunderhawk: Landing Gear Part 2
Brother Sergeant Chronus is mightily impressed with the landing gear. Can you believe that with all the straightening, filing, sanding of all the parts, the actual landing gear needed no work! It was a perfect level fit. Close up shot of the front and rear...
Thunderhawk: Landing gear part 1
With all the smaller parts now washed, I could start making up some of the smaller assemblies such as the landing gear. As you can see in the first pic there are quite a few parts (none of which are labelled or numbered by the...
Thunderhawk: Wash your bits
The build has been going really well, with most of the big parts cleaned up, straightened and dry fitted. It’s time to clean the parts. I use hot water, a toothbrush and washing up liquid to clean the parts. As you can see I use...

Grey Knights: Painting the Purgation Squad
I’m working on a Purgation Squad this week. The Grey Knight sprue is packed with bits. Enough to make 4 different squads. The Strike Squad, Purifier Squad, Interceptors and the Purgation Squad. You only get 2 Psycannons in the box, but I had 2 from...
Thunderhawk: Interior Design
Ever wondered what the inside of a Thunderhawk looked like… well wonder no more! I love the first pic here. I can imagine the first pilot saying to the second pilot “I told you not to park the Thunderhawk in the rough part of town”....
Showcase: Ultramarines 10th Company Scouts with Shotguns
In a break from assembling the huge Thunderhawk gunship, I went back to basics and painted some troops for my Scout Company. These scouts were given to me by my mate Stretch over at www.swchq.co.uk. The plan here is to add the Scout Company to...
