Though I did go completely off script with both.
The template would have given me two multi part hollow wings. For something that should be a gaming piece this would not have been solid enough.Instead I just used the outer surface pieces over foamcore board. The result is much sturdier while still being light enough that it wont stress the connection point..
The engines were an odd combination of good and bad luck.
Bad luck in that this exact moment I ran out of the cheap glue I was using to glue the hull layers to each other (hence the peeling corners you can see in the photo).
However it's good luck to end up with two identical perfectly sized tubes. I glued the cap on upside down, added some card bands to the outside and glued in an intake fan from some cheap toy or another.
BAM, engines.
Next I need to source armaments.
According the the Thunderhawk datasheet I'll need to find the following.
- 1 main cannon. (Scratchbuild from the ol' plastic tubing.)
- 2 lascannons (Maybe some IG players have spares?)
- 4 twin linked heavy bolters.... so 8 heavy bolters. Which need to match each other. That one is going to be the most difficult I think.
- 6 missiles. Possibly more difficult than the heavy bolters. What has spare missiles on it?
