Newest addition to the fleet

I decided to take a break from assembling/painting Stormtalons (one more to go)  and bought myself a Stormraven.  This is by far the biggest(and most expensive) model I've ever built. Took me a day to get it assembled.  Lots of glue and beer.

PHOTO DUMP!








You might notice the dremel in that picture.  Well it's not just there because I feel like showing it off.  Thanks to GW's infinite wisdom, the stormraven is a bitch to get onto the flying base stand unless you are willing to glue it down.  Anyone that has ever seen the underbelly of a Stormtalon knows that the flying base hole extends into the model itself, so you don't have to glue it in and that makes transport SOO much easier.  Well the Stormraven doesn't have that.... unless you do what I did.



Painting the Stormraven would be pretty easy, just time consuming.  I'm going go transfer the color scheme from the Stormtalons over to it so the only thing is just doing the work... which I admit is slow going.






That's where I am as of today.  Getting closer, but I still feel like I'm weeks away.
