Warhammer 40k Astra Militarum Valkyrie

[Alan 45]

seeing as I've already started this and it's not really under construction I figured this was the proper place for it


After building the razorback and sticking WWII decals on I decided to build this one as it should be


This is the interior of the rear compartment , I've used citadel paints

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys


I've now got the base colours on [ATTACH]121568.IPB[/ATTACH]

I've painted the back of the thrusters in gunmetal and given them a black wash and will finish them off with a dry brush of steel to add some detail [ATTACH]121569.IPB[/ATTACH]

started the splinter camo and I'm quite pleased with the lines as they are free hand , I've got to get some different colours to finish off the tail

[monica]

you have me in as well,


Great work Alan so far , the gunner looks great and like the compartment he is in as well,


so what scale are we talking her,as the ship has very nice detail,as well,

[Alan 45]

Cheers moni glad to have you onboard


When I was looking at scales I read that these were 28mm but they aren't they are 40 mm so it's just a tad smaller that 1/48 which I think is 43mm so you can get away with 1/48 figures , nose to tail this is 12 inches long, this is only my second kit and although they look good this one is a bit fiddly , instructions don't help as they do leave bits out and this leaves you wondering why pieces don't fit together as they should, also this kit is off centre , the engines can only go in one position but it throws out one side by a millimetre or so and this can give you problems later on when attaching the air intakes but these are just little anoances and its best to dry fit first
