Hullo!
Well, many of you saw this in its early (and middling) stages, but here is my completed Hydra conversion:
I even managed - against the odds - to spray varnish it sans frosting:
For those of you who are interested in any of the earlier stages, HERE is my post on how I converted the Aegis defence turret, and HERE is the some of the backstory of the converted hull, whose previous incarnation was (and still is) the 'Wyvern' variant (HERE).
I love it when a plan (finally) comes together!
- Drax.
Was and is an excellent home-made turret :)
ReplyDeletereminds me of an old Dinky toy i had as a kid. :)
Excellent looking conversion! Now I've just got the get the confidence to try the same.

ReplyDeleteIt's about time I did some expanding of the 42nd motor pool, I'm getting a little jealous!
Thanks for the compliments, guys!
ReplyDelete@ #2501: I did contemplate it briefly, but I really wanted to keep this as quick and simple to convert as possible...whilst trying to avoid the whole aegis-turret-blithely-perching-atop-a-standard-chimera look.
After I found your site I ventured into making some of my own. I then of course, could not for the life of me find you again. Thanks for the inspiration to craft my own Hydra battery!
ReplyDeletenice Hydras. I converted and made 6 hydras for my army. They were alot of fun, and I love fielding them.
