274 Assault Craft Finished! [pics]

And here it is!
Actually, the pics have reminded me that I need to give it a wash down, to take the sheen off it. As usual, the transfers were disappointing (I may yet replace the numbers beneath the aquilas with handwritten ones), but please check out the pics and let me know what you think. I think my favourite bits are the stretcher and the stubber's ammo box, but the ladder and exhausts turned out alright on the back...





















All thanks go to the Guardsmen of 1 Section, 3 Platoon for 'modelling' throughout this process. Plans and maybe even rules to follow...

  5. Really looks great Drax - The Aquila on the front came up trumps.

    Agree with D that the gubbins help make it.

  9. Thanks, everyone - this one has really been a labour of love. I'll post the plans up soon, hopefully: I'd love for other people to be able to make these as cheaply as I did: this one cost only about £2.50 ($4 US)

  10. Fantastic work! Looks very believable as an IG model you'd see on the tabletop - and that's no mean feat...

  11. I think it looks fantastic... a great idea, well executed.

    What sort of problems are you having with the transfers?
